    Default Does the Industry Look Okay to Get Back In?

    Hello folks,

    After the Neteller/Pinny debaucle I pulled everything out to the A books and back home to my good ol' bank account. Serious SBRers will recall I was on a mission to join up with a bunch of C and D books. I successfully navigated through quite a few of these books, and got paid with them all.

    Well, my sports game is really suffering. I've got the main books but I do not like playing vanilla lines at -110 juice and even playing regular games at -105 juice is severely limiting. I NEED these books back.

    Is it too soon to start playing up with Betus, Betroyal, Instantaction, Actionbets (now Beteagle?) and Ultimate-Odds to name a few. I am likely, although not certainly, moving out of the country so would that impact your answer. I need to start up with these guys again, and other smallish books ASAP!

    Looking for the SBR-Gang to give me some help here! SBR John, Ganchrow, Mr. Bill, Mudcat and the Braintrust- I want to here from you!

    Don't take any chances until after the tourney on Black Monday when 20% of the books will run with our money.

    As long as you play with the top books it is very safe.

    I've targetted April 1st to get back in - make sure people are paying after this weekend...

    I will likely start with about 50% of my bankroll and add the rest in May or June.

    I would not consider wagering from US banks at this time.

    I would just stick with the top tier books right now....

    Probably too soon, although it depends upon your attitude to risk. Things are still up in the air today as they were a few weeks ago and possibly slightly worse. Books are still having payment issues, Pointbet went up etc. It's certainly not as easy to move money around books as it was this time last year.

    What others have said; I would say you would be crazy to do so at this point. Risk to high for the return.

    I would wait until football season and see what is left and let them get these bugs worked out with new methods of deposits. I am using the prepaid **** method until it doesn't work, I have had no problems as of yet. That is the only way I plan to deposit for the time being even though it does cost $3 per transaction to do it that way but it works and I haven't had any problems as of yet.

    JUst use legit books with longevity.... Stay away from the C- and lower books and you'll be fine... Spread your money around.

    Stay away from books you know have not paid in the past or books that are less than 3+ years old. Some of these arent so well funded for lean times.

    GoBlue...you can pick them up at Walgreens. They come in $30, $50, or $100 gift cards. There is like a $4.95 or $5.95 fees for each one but books are likely to reimburse you. The best thing is to buy as many as you need and then email the book the numbers and the money should be in your account in a matter of minutes.

    PM me if you need more details....

    Many for one reason or another may what others too feel that it is (safe), but personally I don't. Books of all category have been and will be affected in the near future.

    Thanks

    I picked up some of those gift cards.

    $100 cards was a $5.95 fee each....but I was able to reload into Poker Stars and Bodog with them no problem.

    Thanks for the tip
