Default Great exprience at THE Greek

I just set up a new account at the Greek. I funded it by transfering funds in from another book. Eveything went great it was done in 15 minutes, and they even gave me the 21% inital bonus. It really is worth it to play at an A book.

Good to hear, Eyeball...I've been with the Greek since 2001, and they are without a doubt a top-notch operation, probably the best out of the many sportooks I've signed on with over the last 12 years...

Back when internet accounts first began, my first two sign-ups were with Bowmans and Olympic Sports (now, The Greek); you can't go wrong with Spiro.

Just happy the way you phrased the thread. Had it been a "great experience with a Greek"; well, I may not have answered.

You can't go wrong with these guys they are great I have been with them since 1996 and they have never ever gave me any problems at all. They pay on the dime and I have taken withdrawals out several times and has had no problems at all. I will stay with them for as long as they are in business, they are like a bank in a way, because you know it will always be there when you need it just call and it will be there.

yeah, when you're on the road and thought about a bet and couldn't get to a computer, it is pretty nice to call them up. their line are pretty close to pinnicale during major events.

it is a good site, but there are couple of times where i call them up the cs seem to be clueless of what she was doing. one time i did an interbook deposit to oly, the cs asked for my payout password. then i said, why? took her 2 minutes to realize what the hell was going on. these are minor mistakes, their cs are really good compared to other sites that i've used.

their bank wire is a bit slow (funny thing, i used to thought them as great, but now i figured out the kinks at pinny, it takes less than 36 hours for my bank wire to hit...greek really take from anywhere between 2-5 days...average is about 3 days), i guess since they're taking on US bettors, they gotta be more careful. good site regardless. defintely a must have backup book.(i don't bet there that often because 20 cents lines and 30 cents lines for props)

Thanks eyeball! We don't hear enough about the positives.

It's rare to get the bonus on a transfer. GL!

Dual accounts per house aren't usually allowed because it doubles the liability with processing and wagers. If you called mgt. and agreed to pass on the bonus and not place duplicate wagers with the second account, they may make an exception.

When I say duplicate wagers I am really talking about the same line at the same time for beyond the limit. If you aren't betting limits and mgt says it is ok, you will be fine.

It is a good general rule to stick with what is in print to avoid complications, especially with books that aren't at the top.

If you're collectively never going to go over the individual bet limits then there shouldn't really be a problem. But always best to check with any book (even though TheGreek are a good one) before you start multiple wagering from the same address.

They told me they don't charge for interbook transfers, but their mimimum is $500. It would be btter if you call your self. What impressed me with them was that I didn;t transfer over a lot of money,but they still treated me well.

TheGreek is simply the best right now. Obviously you can't go wrong playing with their sister site BetJamaica either.

I m with the Greek and Betjm for 2-3 years.Never had a problem with them.
I m one of the lucky europeans that can still use Neteller with no problem.I had to withdraw a 4 figure (euro) ammount and after 1 mail i had everything in my account.Total time required:30 mins.
In a time when many bookmakers behave like Scrooge McDuck, the Greek looks like an ATM.
Also, sometimes i had to take lines in both Betjm and Oly with no problems at all.I noticed that most of the time lines are diferent in these 2.
