    Default the greek (how can this house get an A)????

    hi, i've tried this house and let me say, they pay but is beside that the worst bet house in the world
    the webpage is horrible, the transations don't work well. now they charge me an fee of 11 euros because my acount is not active ?????
    In order for your account to be considered active there must be at least 2 wagers made each week within a 30 days period.
    then I discovered it was withdarawl fees.
    The account has been open and wagers placed each week for the last 30 days
    once again How can this bethouse get an A???

    thanks

    somebody help me. i don't think it's normal inventing this rule.

    here are the conditions:
    Fees - Flat $15 USD charge - FREE - If the following conditions are met:
    Previous deposit(s) were made through NETeller
    A withdrawal of any type has not been made in the previous 14 days
    The account has been open and wagers placed each week for the last 30 days

    Hey Devil,
    maybe you should read this forum or their TOC where you can see it written. From time to time some new 5 EURO/USD bettor here is angry because of this fee.

    So please now if you go to US bookies, ask everytime for withdrawal fees. This is not Europe and habbits are different. The inactive fee is normal for example at DPTgroup for Moneybookers or wire payouts. If you can not pay 15 USD / payout or make 2 bets a week /actually 1 should be enough in my experience/ TheGreek is not bookie for you.

    i understand that this bookie is for professionals. but let's be honest this house get an A+????? this house is horrible in many ways. for the love of god correct that rate. and yes i understand the habbits are very diferent but this rule is not reasonable

    Man an inactive fee just seems a little------well------wrong.

    Sometimes I go a week without making a bet, it would just piss me off to be penalized for that. I don't care if its 50 cents I would still get pissed.

    please specify what "other terrible ways"?
    only bad what i see with them is that actually they are only fuzzy-professional bookie, that does not welcome all action

    except that they make fast big payouts, free for most bettors and at their CS are not total idiots;
    plus their lines are often among first on market

    if this rule is not acceptable for you, you should not register; IMO the rule is not hidden like smallprint at other bookies, but maybe i am wrong - just my opinion

    sorry but this house didn't deserve an A+. maybe they have fast and big payouts but other houses that don't have a+ also have. they have an website that maybe is the worst i've seen. know they have that strange fee, i didn't know that. but it's never late to close this acount, but what i want to say is that it was the most bad experience that i have in a bookie (beside pointbet)

    Idiot that is a withdrawal fee. Its waived if certain (easily obtained) conditions are met. Its not an inactive fee at all.

    The way you described it, I thought they took $15 out of your account everytime you go a week without betting. Not true at all.

    The greek is a great book.

    well.. your opinion, that only supports the idea that greek is not for small bettors; for me is much more important not design of pages (which i like btw, because i can be logged in for days and i can open multiple windows) and some minority fee; not many bookies allow you so big payouts like the greek, i swear

    i do not know why did not you know about the fee - if i would be a newbie at greek, considering sign-up, i would click on deposits/withdrawals, if my wallet is supported, and there the fee is written! If it would be too much for me, i would just open a beer and bet at unibet

    90% of sportsbooks have some kind of withdrawal fees if you withdraw a certain way. It's not shady at all.

    we are communists from europe, we hate those unregulated capitalistic fees; we rather pay 50times more on vig -125/-125

    LOL Lucas I've never seen -125 on each side but a lot of eurobooks are -118 each side for soccer. But they do let me withdraw cheap or free. You just have to hammer them when they make a mistake and put up a bad line.

    Ladbrokes standart -120
    Interwetten have maybe -130 + fee on deposits if i remember
    locals in my contry have -120 lines + 10% fee on stake (you pay this fee if you win but also if you lose)!!!

    to say that average bet in europe was bet at -125 was maybe too optimistic


    this vig does not push them to look at lines, so their linesmakers can be retards and monkeys - thanks god for them

    Ah! So you have two books.

    You came to the right site. Not for emotional support for a missing five bucks, but to read about some of the real problems people have experienced with books.

    not for emotional support thanks anyway. and it's not for the few bucks. it for the absurd of this bookie have A+. it's just my opinion. as the fees of
    The account has been open and wagers placed each week for the last 30 days
    , this is the most asurd rule that i ever seen. but no problem. this was my mistake when i registered in this bookie. there are many more with better conditions (for me).

    a fuking withdraw fees? Sheesh, I thought you mean they milk $15 from your account if you don't make a wager in 2 weeks.

    inactive fees and withdrawal fees are 2 different things.
    God damn it, some people!

    I don't like it that the Greek will not allow a parlay to be made on side and total in the same game.

    Find a book that lets you do this on all games, and i'll show you a book that loses a lot of money.

    WSEX allows it and I'm pretty sure that Cris does too. I think Cris may even go a step further and allows a +runline with an under, and a - runline with an over.

    I don't believe they ever allow it. Don't get me wrong -- I do like that book, but not this aspect.

    I can't think of a time when I couldn't do this at 5 Dimes.

    Cris used to allow same-game parlays in NCAAF. They don't anymore (at least games that are correlated).

    Correlations in MLB aren't strong enough to win, but they can offset about half the juice. If you play with reduced juice, the correlation is enough to do real damage. If you're somewhat sharp and use this as another tool, you have an inflated edge over the book - which is why most won't allow it.

    Put down the crack pipe. Actually put down both of them, the one you use when you log into Oly and the other one you use when you log into 5 Dimes. Neither of your statements is remotely close to accurate.

    3 wagers a week is their definition of "active" for the free withdrawal I believe.
