Default Question for SBR

I am looking to open up another account for bases.Since VIP is the sponser for baseball talk and has advertised "best for baseball" on here,they might be worth a shot.Recently there have been complaints on here about slow or no payouts on here.Also if you look at their deposit options,there is nothing on there for US customers,not even WU.Bill gave me CRIS and I've had no problems,I guess my question is,is VIP an A+ rated book for bases or are they just a good sponsor for SBR?Thanks for a response in advance.

They are just a good sponsor as of now. I wouldn't recommend playing there for bases until they solve their processing riddle and improve in customer communications.

Is that from the best books for baseball page? That needs to be updated. That is last years. I will check to see when this years list will be ready.

Their lines are pretty messed up, I think BetJamaica is better for baseball.

Hi MBENZ,

VIP won't be an option unless you already have deposited there. They are going to use the resources they have left on current users. As of today, they won't be accepting new players in North America.

Our Best Baseball page is showing dimeline books ordered by pricing. It's not necessarily the best book with a dimeline. VIP had the shortest Dimeline at A+ last year putting it last on the list.

I'm going to rename this page to Best Baseball Lines.

The books generally make decisions on price changes a month before. We can expect some new additions in a few weeks. The books currently listed tell us they plan to stick with last year's structure.

Are they giving a reason for pulling out of the NA market? For legal reasons?

The current level of service is not up to standard so they opted to focus on established customers. They can't move money fast enough.
