Long-time bettor, first time poster (I sound like a Dr. Laura caller)...anyway I have taken $250 I deposited into a online sportsbook (Sport Fanatik, parent company Jazette Enterprises) and with the help of a few moment-of-truth bets I have turned it into $5080 over roughly seven weeks time.

I now wish to withdrawal the money but am reticent to withdrawal the whole bloody amount at once in the fear that the book might sniff me out trying the "stick and move" strategy a boxer employs in the ring. So should I rope-a-dope my sportsbook, making smallish bets until I get the lion's share of my money out or should I go for broke and ask for it all at once. My apprehension lies with the fact that since I’ve made over 20x my investment the site might pull some sort of tom foolery with me. Suggestions?

Also, if I wish to disable my sportsbook's casino, I must ask the sportsbook to render this service for me, yes?

well your money is in a D+ sportsbook.. getting it out could prove to be a difficult ordeal. I would recommend trying to get it all at once and then going from there.. in the future stick to the A rated books if you dont want to worry about your money

Slamm,

There doesnt seem the be any real dichotomy in regards to A books and D+ books. What I mean by that is I see ppl on this site ragging books such as VIP and Nine whilst these books receive an A rating from SBR. Some of these books seem to have a very dubious rating that doesnt seem to coincide with the harsh diatribe posted on this site. Please dont tell me this site serves as a service industry to select sites that pony up the cash to recieve an auspicious rating. D+ doesnt necessarily mean that I am going to get the shaft now does it?

I have had larger checks from sports.com, who are part of the same family, so I wouldn't worry.

Many players here look critically at A books, because these are held to very high standards. Do you truly expect this lack of consensus about A rated books to extend to the D rankings?

I was just thanking my lucky stars earlier today for having been pointed towards the right books. You can't put a price on the peace of mind that comes with that, especially these days. For me the time spent on this site and forum has been worth it many times over.

It took you precisely two posts to question SBR's integrity. Perhaps you would have been better off reserving that level of suspicion for your D book. With an A rated book you wouldn't have to worry about camouflaging your withdrawals. I hope you get your money.

Dark Horse,

My doubts over my alleged D+ book have brought me here. Beleive you me I am quite concerned over the bad mark this site has been administered. As for integrity, I am torn over where the real integrity lies: with SBR, who purports its ratings as the "straight dope", or the end user like you and me who come on this site to opine about the suspect grades some of these books receive. With cynics galore (including myself), I guess its time to push the button and see if the $5080 comes my way.

Good luck. My guess is they will use some stall tactics, because a 20x profit in 2 months suggests you take higher than average risk.

My guess is you'll have a cheque in hand in about 10 business days (2 weeks).
