Of course Sportsbook.com, and the whole large group of sisters.
Bodog looks bad,IMO Wagerweb ( and sisters), have a lot of issues Oddsmaker SIA Betmania, looks like a goner Superior ( Empire) probably a lot of others too There will be a lot less books soon,IMO !

I agree. I have money in only 3 books now compared to 5 or 6 a few months ago. I don't have any confidence anymore that my money is safe. Pinn,Match & Canbet are the only books I trust at the moment. I still have 15k in Linesmaker that I am trying to get out.

Those you mentioned except Bodog and SIA are bottom dwellers. Well, Wagerweb is not.
There have always been bottom dwellers. One also needs to not mistake a book with processing problems as a book with financial problems. A book like Sportsbook.com, yes they are in 3 month slow pay mode but the ownership of Sportsbook.com could buy every A+ book out there and still have a $100 million+ leftover. |

I don't know who owns Sportsbook, weren't they sold for $1 ?
Reputation is ruined, for sure ! CRIS group does everything possible to make you quit playing there. Incompetent management ( no processors) is getting old as an excuse. There are only really 3 companies left, for Americans, IMO : Greek/ Jam WSEX/ MB 5D

As usual you're dead on the money Doug. I hope more people are able to read this thread prior to starting up accounts...

06.15.2007 (06:13 PM CST) SportsInteraction (SBR rating C-) deletes five months of player's wagering activity; states account was supposed to be closed in October 2006. SIA says the player was notified via email on October 8th that his "earnings with us have now exceeded the allowable income on an account" and that his account was closed. The player continued to wager until the end of March, five months after SIA claims they intended to terminate the relationship. The player did not receive his first withdrawal until April 2007. SBR is speaking to SIA management regarding voided wagers that resulted in approximately $15,000 in winnings.

Well, SIA has always been heavy handed in disputes. They did not get to be C- for being Pinnacle like. But not a bad book for most players but very heavy handed on self-induced angle shooters.
Doug I agree with your top books...for now. But we are in a period where a book will have a good run with a processor and then have to scramble when that processor drops them. Its a fluid situation. Guys like Bill Dozer are working day and night to stay in a loop that never actually loops without a detour. We are all hopeful that this improves by football. |

these junk books do this to themselves. A+ books are finding ways to get business done.

A smaller book has some advantages, in getting payments out more easily, I'll agree with that John, but any book ( even large) needs to be able to pay without it taking two months, if it's going to take that long, volume will suffer tremendously.
There are too many books, I've said that for a good 5 years, it will correct. It's like owning a gas station... you can't have too many in a small hood.

John, does it mean that it is safe to play at sportsbook.com, and its sister books, despite the processing problems, and if you don't mind waiting a little bit long?
I am thinking to make new deposit there, do you think it's a good idea? Thank you. One also needs to not mistake a book with processing problems as a book with financial problems. A book like Sportsbook.com, yes they are in 3 month slow pay mode but the ownership of Sportsbook.com could buy every A+ book out there and still have a $100 million+ leftover.[/quote] |

John - I like the way you post. I agree there are processing issues etc that cloud things but ya know what.....it is incumbent on the book to get that out ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE WEBSITE. The reason that they don't is because they don't want to jeopardize people NOT depositing because most people lose. That is the problem I have. If they had a post on the front page that had dated updates things would be a ton better for all. Thanks.

you make a great point, and i think a lot of people agree with you. the payouts section also says 24 hrs or whatever. that's a lie.

Yes, They are very well funded. Their customer service is terrible and they are heavy handed if there is a dispute. But if you like the book then continue with them. They are in no way short of money.

I noticed a strange thing recently, their limit for baseball games has been raised significantly and no overnight low limit any more. Is it a red flag? |

One also needs to not mistake a book with financial problems as merely one with "processing" problems. All books with financial problems are going to manifest themselves initially as books with processing problems. Any book which doesn't give you your money when you want it is a book with financial problems, no matter how anyone tries to bury that fact, or paint it up as something else.
