Default You guys who got cash in low rated books...

You need to time your payout to be out about a week before the Superbowl. With processing time that time is about now. I think we are going to see a pretty high post Superbowl failure rate this year.

Do you think the books will get crushed because everyone will take the Patriots and cover..?

I think he mostly just means people who are football only guys or primarily football will want all or part or their money.

Most lower rated books are lucky if they have 50 active players

Don't have a balance at any low rated books at the moment.

Just Matchbook, Bookmaker, 5Dimes currently.

I'm not sure if everyone will take the Pats. Like one poster said some of thes books only have 50 players and probably enough money to pay about 5 of them. If you want to be one of the 5 you need to get moving.

How can that be, when the ticket numbers are 10 digits long ?

Book could and would not be in business with 50 players.

I agree and I think you have to worry about the New low rated books. The sportsbooks, sbg, royals etc will all be around after superbowl. It's the Big Juicy's lazer's etc that you should be worried about.

I disagree. They start at zero. Some never get many players like Nojuice.

I don't think you can stay in business with 50.

I would be worried about these low rated books also that don't want to pay anyone. Let's see who gos under after the Super Bowl this year, there might be quite a few since New England got bet like crazy all year long and there is an awful lot of future money on them I heard. Some books might be in big trouble if New England wins it again, I wonder which ones though.. This forum may be very busy from complaints too from them so good luck SBR John and Bill Dozer because you guys are going to have your work cut out for you if New England does win it this season.

I tend to think that most players at low-rated books (at least the small ones) know they are low-rated, and therefore would bet their futures at top books.

I certainly wouldn't go betting futures at Lazer.

The max. bets at small books on these futures isn't much so they should be able to cover it... The odds were sh*tty actually so they should be ok...at least on the futures bets..

Shams,are you still a supporter and big fan of the Jazette chain of sportsbooks like you used to be?I can't really say anything bad about them since I have always done real well there with everything from comps to fast payouts.etc.They are very lax on rules too.The only trouble was getting timely payouts last summer when they had their money transfer problems.

So Shams.what do you know about Jazzete and how much money they take in.etc.Some people here,maybe you?said from time to time that they were rolling in money and had deep pockets.They only paid $1 to obtain Sportingbet PLC sportsbooks.Do all of their sportsbooks keep tabs on players that have accounts at their other sportsbooks?


Of course I'm talking as a recreational bettor that thinks they are a fun sportsbook to play at.

Oh yeah... I consider them "my wife"! The payouts have gotten a little faster... It's been as fast as 10 days for a regular check but they send me the tracking number a week after I get it...

They are lax on some things I agree and their promos are tough to beat... I like Linesmaker the best because of the layout... I use PlayersOnly but I went to them because they had a layout like Linesmaker but all this sh*t keeps changing and it irritates me... I have accounts at all of them and use the one I like best at that time...

I don't know too much about the company but they have survived a lot and have never been a "no pay" book... I think they do well because of their customer base... It's not just ticket numbers but it seems like they have a bigger customer service department and that is another indicator of a large customer base.... Most of their players, especially now, are square bettors...

Of course!!!

By the way how many D books have a 10K limit on gameday for NFL sides..?

The things that does irriate me about them is the site goes down sometimes.. It has gotten much better but it use to be BAD!!!
