Default Who here is going to play with bookmaker this year?

I'm set with matchbook and betjam, but am thinking of giving bookmaker a little of my bankroll (especially, since they are offering a one a month payout-no strings attached)...

thoughts from some of the guys on here that actually wager on games?...

thanks dan and durito...I just think that since they do put out early lines, it's worth having a couple of bucks with them...anyone else have thoughts?...

i agree and if funding wasn't such a problem everywhere, i'd certainly have money there.

but, with the way it is i'm scaling way back on the # of books to start. I'll see how that goes.

If they would offer free transfers, I'd definitely deposit there.

Pass.

I don't see the need, particularly with so many better options available - Matchbook, Olympic, WSEX.

No need, will have Greek for early lines. And will get low vig from MB and hopefully opinionated lines from a new local I'm going to get hooked up with, and still hoping I can latch onto a new credit book out here.

owned,

good point...I'm assuming betjam will have them up early as well since they are owned by the greek (and bookmaker is on shaky ground compared to them)...

air,

another good point...

BetCris "on shaky ground" compared to The Greek? Have you got some inside information on this? Was it from the same sources as your Neteller information?

tacosnatch,

betcris/bookmaker has definitely lost a lot of respect from players around the industry with their behavior over the last year...high payout fees, high transfer fees, mass telemarketing calls (even though they tell people they are going to be put on no call lists) and average customer service are just some of the complaints...

here are some links to prove my point you dildo:

by the way, go take a bath you wanker!...

this is funny, I have never seen pags get so riled up....

regarding the thread...I don't think I have a need to play there...I trust the greek more and would put wsex before the greek, mainly due to limits. With 30k limits on NFL/NCAA, I don't have to mess with getting an increase. While this may be a small issue, it is still something that you have to deal with. WSEX has overnight lines as well for all sports, and for us MLB players starts at 7 cent lines. In conjunction with Matchbook I see no need for any other books. I cannot find a flaw with Bookmaker, or Bet JM...as you will get paid and they have early lines...WSEX/MB is the same company who pays me and has treated me well for quite some time.

WSEX & Matchbook for me

GL on your decision pags...ignore moron boy....

Anyway, I'll definitely be playing at boomaker this year. Never heard of them before but they're going to be my number one book.

It's statements like this that will have you banned soon. Your "free pass" has expired.

by the way, I'm almost certain I'm going to deposit with bookmaker, as last night I got a promotional post card...25% bonus with a 5x rollover...have to deposit via western union, which isn't too big of a deal...

and stump, that's about my opinion on them right now too...

I will not be playing with bookmaker.
The only reason I played there was because of Prick contest.

Their high withdraw fees and cold calls tactics.
Yes, I know they're now giving out 1 free withdraw, but it's just regular Postal mail not knowing where my check went if I had to argue with them.

I'm going to play at Bookmaker. I miss the CRIS site. Bookmaker already feels a little dark like the Greek. Those guys are good people.

sbrjohn,

I believe I will be playing with them as well this year...it was good to see scottM conversate with vanzack over at covers...while I don't agree a lot with his reasoning over the high fees, I do respect that he's talking in a public forum to his customers...

pags what is this about bookmaker offering a once-a-month free payout with no strings attached? What kind of payout are you talking about? Is it snail mail check?
