just offering my opinion,i do have an account with greek but don`t use it that often so i don`t keep alot of money in there.But judging by what is said on this forum i don`t think too many people would keep a lot of money in most probably with exception of greek,betjam,matchbook and cris.

At one time or another I've had 10K in each of WSex, Greek and Cris.....At no time did I ever feel uncomfortable regarding my balance. My personal experience and viewpoint, of course.....

I would feel confortable with any of these and the bold ones are the ones where my balance was above or near 10K at some point... The ones I deleted I am not familiar with...

I would fear Sportsbook the most, especially with everything going on recently, and perhaps Bodog to a lesser extent. The other names appear safe. Anybody with 10k in SB, and knowing what's happened the past few months, needs to have their head examined.

I think everyone will agree that Sportsbook.com is not a place to carry a $10,000 balance at.

I can think of plenty of other books that I'd keep a $10,000 balance with if I was allowed to play at them. For example... Betfair, Mansion, and any Australian licensed book.

Default most of them

All of them except betonline, carib, and sportsbook.com. Sportsbook.com I would not feel comfortable with ANY balance. Betonline and Carib I would feel comfortable up to $5K. I would never feel comfortable with more than $15K in any book, with the possible exception of WSEX, Olympic, and Pinnacle. At Olympic, there are some bettors who routinely make bets of $30K on a single game and have balances into the 6 figures. I believe they are safe, but it would make me nervous!

I alrdeady had up to 50k at:
Wsex, Matchbook, Cris..and wasn´t worried at all.
I also wouldnt worry about up to 50k at the Greek.

Had up to 10k at Jamaica, and it was fine too.
Up to 5k would be ok for me at 5dimes, Vip, Carib, Bodog..
but 10k would be too much at those places.
And i wouldn´t want any cash at Betonline and sportsbook.

And for the record: I had more than 50k at Pinny once, and wasn´t worried a bit. I would keep up to 100k there without losing sleep.

It's relevant to the amount of money that you have. If you are Mark Cuban then keep it in all of them.

I would do it at any A or B rated book and a few C and D books.
