    Default OddsMaker.com offering me 1000.00 bonus . Crazy ?

    Recieved a package in the mail from OddsMaker.com . Is a promo with a check with my name on it for a $1000.00 bonus offer .
    I read up on some oddsmaker reviews on sbr , was some negative things that happened it appears .
    This book is in Canada ?
    Anyone have any feedback on if I should do this free $1000 promo with oddsmaker.com ?

    I can see why a sportsbook would attempt this , generate alot of money coming in at the right time of year , ncaab and mlb , nhl playoffs . They could make a fortune ... or not so neither would I ?
    FEEDBACK ?

    i think it is a scam, a lot of people have problems with Oddsmakers, probably best to steer clear, if it is too good to be true than it usually is

    I would say that MB86 is correct...sportsbooks don't give away money for nothing.

    Right , I would have to deposit $1000.00 which is a pretty big thing if you look at it that oddsmaker gets 1000 people to do this . 1000 x 1000 is a million dollars right ? I cant even multiply that # , is a million I think .
    So if they have a million dollars just from this promo they could pay me with no prob ?

    That is a mil...I would never think about depositing a dime into a D- rating sportsbook.

    A B C D F , ratings , is that anything like I may give a restaurant an A rating while the couple that arrived at a different time with different service might give that same restaurant a D ?
    Could oddsmaker not pay me or you realistically ?
    This is my only concern really .
    Anyone know ?

    OddsMaker has had a history of canceling players win who won with promotional money by changing rules after the fact.

    Look, after you finish that juicy bonus up--call Lenny and ask him what he is offering. I bet Cascade will give you a 200% bonus.

    What the h.., make it a 300% bonus. Right Lenny?

    A 100% cash bonus to the right player list with around a 10x roll can work for the book. Oddsmaker/BetOnUSA are probably the biggest direct mail marketers right now.

    Chip, read up on this page, Oddsmaker before making your decision. You are better served to take a smaller bonus with most other books.

    I'm really not into the bonus thing . Too bad things cant just be on the up and up . That I would even have to ask questions like this sucks . It would be nice to move to Las Vegas ! I wonder how that would work out . It would only be me that was in control of my destiny maybe .
    Nothing shady could arise .
    I would be okay with the bonus thing if I was familiar with the book . I have seen negatve reviews on them so I will pass on them . I would have never tryed them anyway though because I am not familiar with them as a company and have not recieved any good fedback to make me trust them .
    I wonder how many people they get from those juicy mail promos ? They spend alot of money on advertising just like betus .

    No-pay sportsbook, Betcascade (SBR rating F) managing to attract new depositors

    Player: I signed on with them about a month ago and sent $2500. then sent $1700 when I lost, then finally won about $6,080 dollars. I guy named Justin said he was sending the money on that Tuesday, never received and no return call from him. I spoke to the manager named by Lenny, he keeps telling me that I will get paid, well its been 2 weeks, and he keeps feeding me bull****. PLEASE HELP.

    The troubled book has paid just over $22,000 in 11 months to some of the 72 SBR readers that have filed a complaint. The total player debt reported to SBR is nearly 1.3 million.

    It's a matchbonus, so you don't necessary have to put $1000 dollar in. There's an insane rollover requirement though, for example if you put $1000 in, you would have to put up $30,000 worth of bets before you can cash out that $1000 match bonus. Basically it's a 30x times your match bonus.

    My husband fell for it once. Every time you make say a hundred dollar bet, they will use $99 of your money and $1 of the bonus dollars.

    The Oddsmaker bonus is $1 for every $29 you wager on sports. You bet $30 and it consists of $1 bonus $29 deposit. If you play the casino I think it is $1 to $99.

    BigBoyDan , the promo came through the mail . In the garbage now . Dont know them to take a chance .

    Are you trying to figure out who I am ?
    I was refered to this site by a friend that you guys kicked off of here and also off the rx .
    When I try and go on the rx it says I am a ghost .
    My friend and I joke about this all the time .
    My name is Chip , my friends name is EJ .
    You guys should get over yourselves , is a chat room for christs sake , not top secret anti warfare discussions going on up in here .
    I talk about this site to other friends as well , is a cool place .
    Why the conspiracy to kick people out of chat anyway ?
    What is the purpose ?

    I was more or less curious to find out exactly what the promotion fine print said sir. The reason I was curious actually was because their always seems to have a different set of rules that pop up after a player tries to cash out.

    how this works is if depsosit $1000 you get a thousand play money, if you bet $1000, 970 would come out real money and $30 out of play money, it's not terrible deal but you have to be a bigtime baller to be able to gain much from this promo, i don't belive they would not pay but might play fairly slow and t he promo is actually less than the industry standard upon review of rules. I personally have bet with caribsports for 10 years, love it there
