Sportsbook.com
I was stupid and picked a sportsbook without first researching it. After numerous heated telephone conversations with sportsbook.com clerks, I've received $0.20 in my bank account. Tried unsuccessfully to obtain an address from this company. Does anyone have an address for these schmucks? Btw, I think their rating should be changed to D- or lower.

You're kiddin me, 20 cents?
I take it you were expecting a little more?

If you're having a problem with them, you can send the details to Bill Dozer at assistance@sportsbookreview.com
For what it's worth, I've always found the CS pretty good there.

Hopefully, one day they may put the zeros on the other side of the decimal with a few commas in between... i.e. 20,000,000.00.
SBR Founder Join Date: 10/10/2005
They suck yet people just keep on giving them money.
They are in Escazu, CR a suburb of San Jose

first off, let me welcome you to the SBRforum
as tacomax mentioned above. please send your info to bill dozer at: assistance@sportsbookreview.com
above, i see you made mention of them only sending you $.20 cents. i'd sure love to hear the story behind that one. in regards when you asked them about this particular transaction they sent you.

such a shit book...but what bothers me is that sooo many people seem to simply search google for "sportsbook", and jump on the first thing they find...
can you really be that stupid? oh im sure you can, after all techno is a popular "music"...(yeap i love that example of people being full of shit :-P)

yeah bothers me too.. they dont deserve this many customers..Originally Posted by Quarm
if some person reccomends you use sportsbook.com thats something else.. but if you just join a book without researching it then thats stupid...
SBR Founder Join Date: 10/23/2005
Depends on who recommends it. I've seen people and websites hawk some shitty books.
SBR Founder Join Date: 9/26/2005
what im trying to say is its not completely your fault if your friend says "i use sportsbook.com" so then you join it because your friend uses it...
its better than just joining a sportsbook randomly without any research or anything.
SBR Founder Join Date: 10/23/2005
No they are not...
SBR Founder Join Date: 9/14/2005
I'd love to hear this story. I'm guessing they sent you the 20 cents because you registered your checking account with them.
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/15/2005
Sure, I hear you. But you've still got to be careful with how much of a handle they have on the industry as well.
I had a friend who found BetRoyal by accident and that's where he sent people. That is, until he tried to send me there.
I get your point, though.

if sportsbook.com had my checking account number, I'd cancel my checking account and get a new one...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
Trey,
Did you get your money?
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/15/2005
I'd like to know as well...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
When I started screaming Better Business Bureau, I finally got results. I received $700 of my money by FedEx today and the rest is on it's way (at least that's what the letter says). I won't do business with sportsbook.com again.
SBR Founder Join Date: 12/8/2005
good to hear you got some of the money Trey...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
I am really not sure why people continue to play with this book....there is really nothing that would entice me to play there. I hope SBR downgrades them to an F or so....the grade they actually deserve.
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
agreed buddybear, I nominate that sportsbook.com be moved to an F book...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
Glad it's not you but SBR that do the ratings.
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
Trey,
I'm not sure what transpired, but I can assure you that it had nothing to do with the Better Business Bureau.
Buddybear,
People play there because they have the best bonuses out there. You can withdraw as much as you wnat. No daily, weekly or monthly limits. No clerk asking you why you want to withdraw. In some ways the lack of cs can be used to your advanatge.
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/15/2005
Indeed, marc. There are a number of reasons to play with them. Conversely there are a number of reasons not to play with them. It's that good old risk/reward ratio.
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
tacomax,
I can't believe you condone playing with sportsbook.com knowing all of the scam stories out there...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
I am a little suprised myself Taco considering you are aware of their reputation....as they say, "forewarned is forearmed."
Your right...we all have to make our own assessment of what's good and bad so if you play there good luck Taco!
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
Like I said, it's all about risk/reward - there are a number of very good reasons to play there and I've personally never had a problem. I don't think they're in the area of "scam books", rather I think that their corporate nature makes their management take some bad decisions.
I know that you're a big fan of SIA and you were more than happy to play there when they were a D+ book and their SBR rating now is in the same range as sportsbook.com. You see the benefits in SIA, I seek the benefits in sportsbook.com - there's not a lot of difference there.
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
SIA is up to a C now...and I suspect they will be moving up more. I play at SIA simply b/c of the lines and no other reason...the lines are always shaded. Never had a problem with SIA....good people.
Well we both have to make our risk/rewads...if ur comfortable with sportsbook then go for it!
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
tacomax,
I see your point...to me though, the only thing separating the "scam books" and sportsbook.com is a bunch of money and Brooke Burke's boobs...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
Yeah, Brooke probably had something to do with my joining sportsbook.com.I also liked the parlay odds. Still waiting on the rest of my money btw. Now they're saying that it's my fault it's taking so long. When they wouldn't cough up the dough through EFT (except for 20 damn cents), I told them to send me a check by Fedex. So now it's my fault because I "changed my withdrawal method." It's getting tough to keep my cool when talking to these punks.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good sportsbook with decent parlay odds? I also want someplace with an 800 number, not some overseas number or "email only" communication.
