There has been a lot of change in the industry and I am very cautious where I play these days. But I have money at 5 books now and will comment on them.

1. Olympic - been there for a long time and they are so solid. Have received a fed ex payout close to 10k in the past week, it took 2 business days to arrive.

2. Matchbook - they are a great book with the lowest vig. Have received payout close to 10k in the past few weeks. It took about 2 weeks to get via regular mail.

3. DSI - They have been around a long time and have high limits and a graduated 10c baseball line. They are solid. Cost $60 for fed -ex payouts which take about 7-10 business days. I have received a payout of close to 5k in the past few weeks.

4. First Fidelity - I have been there off and on for probably 10 years. They are solid and have a 10c baseball line to 190. High limits also and pay out fed ex within 2 days. I haven't had a payout from there in the past month.

5. Royal - Believe it or not these guys are still around. At one time I had 30k there and it took them a month to pay - this was probably 3 years ago. But I have re-uped from time to time and always been paid. I reuped about 6 weeks ago on their 50% bonus at 10x rollover. I sent them 1k(1% of my bankroll) because I don't have huge faith in them, but I have never been stiffed and I haven't seen any stiff jobs from them, just a lot of slow pays. They told me they will pay me in a day if I need ** or **, and that checks would take 7-10 business days once the money was taken from the account. Well I just received a payout close to 5k and it took 13 business days, but I'm not sure when they took the money from my account. They may of taken it out on day 3, and if that's the case they did what they said they would do.

I just wanted to share my personal experiences with everyone on what I have personally experienced lately.

Pretty accrurate assessment there

I cant understand why people would get a 10k check mailed to them from a 2nd world country in the regular mail with no tracking number. 10k and you dont want to pay $30 for a tracking number and faster delievery?

$30 is 0.3% from 10k. Thats half your average scalping profit now in 2007 from the same amount, doh!
