Talking BetSportsWeb-Very Good Service That Pays!

Hi everybody!

Long time lurker first time poster. My experience has been excellent so far with
Betsportsweb.com. Personally I have been paid 4 times within 3-5 days without any
issues. Actually, in my humble opinion this is one of the finest establishments
I have played with.

I got in with a 50% Sign Up Bonus and free dime line in baseball. Now they
are giving me a free 1/2 point off on Fridays for football. Nice.

I referred 3 buddies to the site; all except one has had a payout.

I strongly disagree with SBR and would recommend this book to anyone.
These are good guys who take the time to treat us like individuals not numbers.
(Not going to mention those places because I want to remain positive here.)

In fact, I smell something not right so I'm voicing my opinion on this subject.

Indeed, at the very least Betsportsweb should be rated a B+.

So far my experience has been great with them.

I'm sure more players will speak up like I did today.

Thank you.

LOL, Thanks 2ofSpades! This is the only D rated book I play at. I play at The Greek, SJ, Bet Fair, and at one time WagerWeb. I'm playing at BetSportsWeb instead of WW.

I guess the deal is that with that level of quality; I'm having difficulty believing they aren't rated higher.

They handle themselves much better then most books and the payouts are faster then I expected. I smell a rat. I guess in a couple of years we will see for sure.

Where do you play? Have you had any problems with newer books in the past?

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum

BetSportsWeb = BetSuperior =:
Quote:
BetSportsWeb enters the SBR Rating Guide at D+.


BetSportsWeb is the new brand name for recently rated sportsbook, BetSuperior. The new sportsbook's bookmaking is managed by the Costa Rica-based operation that formerly ran BlueGrass Sports (BetBG.com). BetSportsWeb's customer service operates independently from the Jazz Sports offices. The new sportsbook will remain under review. SBR plans to visit the book's office this summer and learn more about the company structure.
Before you give them such praise you might want to read this thread sir.

Ok Mudcat, I'm about to bust out another song so watch yourself.

Neither of us are shilling at least not me. Unless getting the truth out is shilling then fine, but seriously I hate to see a good service get blasted like this.

Anyway, your buddy plays there so you'll have the truth soon enough! I'm sure he is having a positive experience with them and I hope you can share it with us.

Question for you BigDan, have you heard anything else negative about this book? Like, has anyone else complained about not getting paid, ever?

I signed up with them because of a 100% match play special 10X at moneybookers.

They had a WNBA halftime line up last night, which was good, but don't have baseball up for today yet (at 10:50 am EST), which is bad.

Halfway through my rollover.

They do grade fast, and have a fair amount of offerings, including WNBA and CFL halves, and college football quarters (although they do charge 30 cent juice on these).

I have seen a few opinionated numbers, which is always a good thing.

Sounds good Peep!

Good luck on the rollover.

Did you take advantage of the 1/2 point today? I got Auburn at -6 instead of -6.5.

I work in this industry and know quite a bit about in being involved in it over a decade , I hope they do good and I hope they stay on track.

But one can only wonder when a newbie like you comes along.

I wish BETSPORTSWEB good luck and I hope they succed but they have their ways to go as any new book.
It will take them at least 2 seasons to get to B rating.

I know some people in that building that are willing to make that book work , so thats a good point I know those guys and they will work their backs off to make it work , ONLY TIME WILL TELL

Thats just my opinion

With all due respect to peep, his short term experience would have no bearing on any intelligent assessment. This is a start-up book with people with shady histories behind it. It will almost certainly fail and STIFF players.

All books of this ilk have a period where there are no complaints. It is known as

THE PERIOD BEFORE THE TROUBLE STARTS.

You name a book that has failed and STIFFED, there is a thread just like this in the months prior.

It's hard for me to even think of a start-up that has survived in the last few years. SBR_John was saying the success rate of recent start-ups was 0%. I'm not sure what criteria he was using but he knows a bit about the industry.

Then you look at this place and the shady people behind it. I see a lower than average chance of a happy ending. That means lower than 0%.

But although the risk seems so completely unnecessary to me, it is good that there are guinea pigs willing to do it. If the book is around in a year or two, maybe I'll look at them.

I hope your wrong Mudcat, anyway you never told us how your friend is doing, you just went 100% negative again. SSLP, whats so funny "dude"? This sort of thing makes one think you are hating on this one book and at the same time your asking them for credit because you want to play with them....None of this makes any sense.

Wish them luck and move on and give us your picks!

Well, the book gets their first complaint.

Turns out the bonus rollover is a 20X, not a 10X. I deposited $500, played $5900, called to see if I could withdraw.

NOPE.

Have to rollover the bonus PLUS what ever you make on your free play 10X.

this is not in their bonus rules.

Quote:

  10. All promotions are available only once per person, household address, IP address, family, e-mail address, and credit card number or any other deposit method used.

  14. You have 30 days to use your promo cash once credited to your promo cash balance, if you do not use it in this period your promo cash balance will return to zero.
  15. The offer applies to customers who are over 18 years only.
  16. Bonuses are subject to Wager Requirements which need to be met before the bonus is released.
  17. Once the bonus is credited to the customer's betting account, a minimum of one bet must be placed within the next 30 days.
  18. Players may bet on American Football (NFL/NCAA), Basketball (NBA/NCAA/WNBA), Baseball (MLB), NHL, and Soccer.
  19. They can only be used on straight wagers, parlarys, and teasers.
  20. Maximum payout for this promotion is $5000.
  21. Promotions are available for a limited time.
  22. Free Plays can only be used on major sports (see #18) and cannot be used on prop bets. For football and basketball, free plays can only be applied to spread and total lines; money lines are not allowed. On NHL and baseball, free plays can be used for money lines and totals. On Soccer, free plays can only be used on spreads and totals; 3 way lines (money line) are not allowed.
So that sucks.

Otherwise, I like the book OK, friendly enough, good offerings, fast grading.
