Deposited today without a problem, got my money into the account quickly through Western Union. They also have one of my favorite betting options which is the "pending IF play" So far I'm liking the site and would suggest it to others. Listed as an A- site here so I feel comfortable that when I cash out there will be no problems.

Try to keep us updated on your opinions of the place if you can. I'm thinking about trying them out.

I didn't ask, but I always usually do a western union payout and I can't see how that would be a problem for them.

Which package did you choose? Reduced juice or special parlay payouts?

I don't get it?? Maybe SBR boys can enlighten me on this. BOL (Bestlines) seems to have a very attractive model and bonus, but I can't believe they do not support Neteller or Moneybookers?

If they had those funding/withdrawal options--I would be all over them. Are they planning on adding those in the very near future?

Bill or John, any insight here?

That is a bit strange. Poster Santo has made mention that they seem to only be focused on the North American market. I will find out.

Its a mistake not offer international players with their preferred transfer method.

Neteller is still listed on the Bestline site. There's also a new ACH option at BetOnline.

Well, I was under the impression that they were moving everything to BOL. So it was their CS rep that i chatted up abt the Neteller option. CS didn't seem to think that NT or MB were that important.

Like SBR John--I just don't get that you don't make it easy for the rest of the world.

Again, anybody with a direct line to the head folks there--please jump in!!

Some Central American country's banks do not offer ACH--sadly!!

Was just asking about this place...Checked the mail this afternoon for the first time in about a week, saw a butt-load of mailers from them.


So, has anyone here ever requested/recieved a payout from this place? If so, how'd it go?


Thanks in advance..

Uncle B, a hearty WELCOME! to this side of the street.

There was an Erin Andrews thread here not so long ago that was in desperate need of your expertise.

I just got the mailer today. Tore it up in 3 minutes, so can't remember the exact details, but since the reduced vig plan is rather straightforward and self-explanatory, I quickly scanned over the big bonuses account plan and once I saw they had a 4 to 1 max payout on 2 team parlays, that's all I needed to see before tearing it up. (They also have max payouts on all the other parlays as well, 3 teamers capped at 12 to 1 I believe, etc.) Being unable to get full value on a parlay of two ML +130 dogs is pretty WEAK imho.

I think I got this mailer the other day as well guys. I noticed that they were soliciting for agents too I believe on the back side of the flyer.

OK, been playing with these guys in bases for the last 2 weeks and have cut into them a little.

10% initial WU bonus 5X rollover, ten cent line in bases, 20 cent totals.

the big value with these guys is in foots. -105 everyday and more importantly -108 haves including totals

declined the bone personally, so can't tell you my experience there.

the rumors of ex-BOS personel in management are false

CS has been good.

don't really see these guys being successful with their current model, bit I'll ride it for as long as I can. Not too worried about a stiff here, but it will be interesting to see how their CS/collar policy progresses.
