    Default Help me with my dillema

    OK, I have accounts at three different sites. I am confused on what I should. I am fairly large unit better on the order of magnitude of four figure bets

    I use:

    1) bodoglife
    2) the greek
    3) sportsbook

    Pro's and Cons

    bodog
    P1) I can deposit from my checking account which I LOVE
    P2) can play poker, but I can do that whether I keep my $ there or not
    P3) I feel confident I will get my money when I request it
    C1) Can't buy points on NFL games
    C2) No NHL pucklines

    greek
    P1) good lines and available at all times throughout the day
    P2) I feel confident I will get my money when I request it
    C1) To deposit, I have to use ** which I feel very uncomfortable about
    C2) Can't use checking account

    sportsbook
    P1) great limits on lines, good lines (buying pts and pucklines)
    P2) good monthly max deposit of $6K per month
    C1) After reading this forum, I DON'T feel comfortable I will get my money when I request it

    So what should I do???

    Or, should I switch to a new book

    I need one where you can use your checking account, large deposit max, and I can feel confident I can get my money when I request it. Any help would be appreciated. (I am a US player)

    Thanks

    Of those three I would choose Greek over the rest. Yes ** is a pain in the rear but it's worth the peace of mind IMO.

    Considerations for a sportsbook:
    1) Do they pay quickly and without a lot of hassle?
    As long as they pay and you know you don't have to worry about that, don't worry so much about a few extra days to get paid. Getting the best odds is more important than having your money a few days early.

    Only consider books that you are 99% sure will pay without a problem.

    2) Now take the best odds.

    Actually Bookmaker hangs both pucklines and alternate pucklines.

    You're playing at arguably the best (Greek), and arguably two of the worst (sportsbook and bodog). I'm surprised you even play at Bodog if you are a "fairly big bettor," as their limits are insanely low and they don't put out lines until late. Both sportsbook and bodog take entirely too long to pay out, and seem to have little regard for the customer.

    JJ's right about bookmaker, they have substantially larger limits and put their lines out pretty early. Keep us posted on how everything goes and let us know if there's any other sportsbooks we can give you opinions on. GL...

    when I click on NHL lines on bookmaker I only see a total and a ML. Am I missing something? I do see where they say alternate pucklines but it is empty??

    I agree that I am all mixed up..that's why I am on here to figure out what I should be doing...bodog has decent limits, although relatively on the low side..you don't think I will get my money from bodog?????? Don't scare me, I have over $10K there

    I had over 30k in my bodog account and anytime I wanted my money I got it with no problems. I wouldn't worry about them not paying you. They have even messed up and mailed my friend two checks and he cashed in both. lol.

    Moneymaker I wouldn't be worried about getting paid from them. They've never stiffed anyone that I know of. If it was sportsbook I'd be a lot more worried, but even then I would like your chances of getting paid eventually. I was just referring to their constant slowpays and bad checks sent out since the US legislation. I would advise you not to cash any checks by them and spend that money within 2-3 weeks after receiving it, as many punters have taken NSF fees for spending money that turned out to be a bad check. Ever since the US legislation their processing times and customer service has become simply unacceptable in my opinion. GL....
