The -105 lines go up late and they never have an opinion. Also some users may have $1000 limits on the -105. I have an account there and don't use it as much as I thought I would. It's still a must shop if you're really into it.

I've never heard anything bad about Cascade. Solid book.

Good book for the experienced player. If they make the recommended list they will be listed under "P" for professional.

Anyone have an opinion on the value of 105 vs. volume rebate?

from what I understand you can take the -105 option on all bets when you sign up (rather than get deposit and re-load bonuses)...so, I'm not understanding why one would have to wait for the -105 to be put up...

Believe the volume rebate is only 1% of action, which works out to roughly -108 on bets. Unless you mainly play money lines, you are much better off with -105.

The -105 is by far the best option here.

OK, after extensive research, I have one beef with these guys... a $25 neteller withdrawal fee is a little steep for recreational players...also, I noticed they went through a period a couple of years ago with some financial unstability...other than that they check out OK, but if someone from SBR could question them about the $25 neteller withdrawal, that'd be great...staying away for now...

So called safe book that is VERY much not safe anymore.. Your money is never safe with any offshore sportsbook

remarks because a member ask if thegreek was safe.

Default So...Recommendation?

I f-edup. I used Cascade over a year ago with no problems and took a while off. Then came back into some money and without checking made a $500 CC deposit last week. I'm up to $2,300 and just wanted to make a slight withdrawl when I got caught up on all this bs!

So, my question for someone knowledgeable is...Do I cancel the Credit Card transaction and just take the profit hit? Or do I try and get 1k or two out of them? Or do I cancel the charge and try and still withdrawl? Some advice would be nice.
Crap.
Thanks.
