Betpop seems to have a lot to offer: Even money 6 point teasers, 14/5 pars, 25% free play for newbies etc... SBR has a B- rating on them, but I'd like to confirm it with actual players there. Anybody using them?
SBR Mods: Any complaints with Betpop?

Pluses are:
Good bonus offers
Best Teaser odds
Unique 1/2 time lines: I've seen them take sides quite often or there at least copying another book taking sides on 1/2 times - Particularly for College Hoops.
Negatives Are:
Very aggressive phone marketing
Limited Banking Options
Average at best customer support.
I've used them for several years, never a problem. I have not cashed out since the end of basketball season so can't speak on the cash out speed side of things.

BetPOP is a part of the Business Management International S.A. (First Fidelity family of books). If your not a bonus whore/professional player then you shouldn't have any problems with them.
As far as any complaints about them go. I do remember SBR poster HappyBoy had some issues with them not too long ago, but I don't think it was anything really major though.SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005

If you deposit by CC you must roll it over 3 times, even with no bonus. they called me and offered me a bonus. They never put the offer in writing, via email. They have called me a couple more times with the same result. They never seem to be able to put the offer in writing via email. I emailed them asking about bonuses and they said betpop accounts were not eligible; however one thing I discovered is you can use the same userid and password at youwager.com, and if you deposit it should qualify as a bonus. Then you are able to use the funds at betpop, although one may want to weigh the risk of doing so, since they might later confiscate the bonus and any winnings from it since betpop doesn't qualify.

The FF family (BetPop included) of books don't take too kindly to Pro's at all.

I'm not making max bets, but I've done pretty well at the youwager skin the past few games. I used them last year for a bit and was paid promptly but albeit through Neteller. I've rolled over my deposit a few times already, should I be worried when I request a cashout in a couple of weeks?

You shouldn't have any problems there if your not a bonus whore or chasing steam Crazyl.

The reasons I am looking to go to Betpop is the 6 point even money teasers and the 25% free play. I would play a lot of wise-guy teasers (thru 3 & 7 on NFL) to help complete my rollover and squeak out a profit, hopefully. Average teaser play is $300-$500. Am I setting myself up for problems there?

Only reason to join them is for teasers.
I've made some good money with this book. Been lucky with them.SBR Founder Join Date: 11/16/2005
