Default OddsMaker - yeah or nay!

Just received an offer to join OddsMaker. Does anyone have anything positive or negative to say about them? I see they are rated D-. As I've just given up on Sportsbook.com forever, I don't want to get started on another bad experience. Thanks for any help here. I'm currently using Bet Jam and I'm "happy" with them.

why even think of using a low rated book??? getting paid is the most important thing, not huge bonuses. JMO

No matter how many times this question gets asked the answer will remain the same-No. Stay away

Or better yet post up at an A rated book.

I cannot think of a wider gap than the difference between BetJam (good) and Oddsmaker (bad). Stay with BetJam, or find another higher rated book if you are looking for another out.

They paid me on the free $100 promo ($1,960).

I wouldn't deposit with them even if it was your money.

They sent another mailer today, this one included a dropdead gorgeous blonde in a small bikini. Other than that, they offered some silly $2000 bonus on $1k post up most likely with an 11X r/o with no parlays, teasers, pleasers, if bets, etc allowed.

Steer clear of Oddsmaker.

Most of the people that win on their free $100 promotion don't ever get paid.

Thanks for all the quick replys. They told me they were not with Sportsbook.com. Nice! Just seemed like the $100 offer was interesting, but after dealing with Sportsbook, I don't want to deal with any other loser book. I'll just stick with Bet Jam for now. Thanks to everyone for your advice!

Stick with Bet Jam, and if you want to put a little extra money in another book for football, Betpop (SBR rated B-) has really nice reload and first time offers and they're secure.

Why gamble on getting paid or not for gambling?

Stick to an A book, and half the troubles are gone.

They are crooks and fraudsters. They stole over $40,000 from a player at EOG.

What part of D- don't you understand?

Did the Shrink help the player out? Or just delete the complaining posts?
