[BET THE HOOK]

I got an email from Chuck that we all remember from WagerHub this morning. It seems that after he left WagerHub and then WagerWeb didnt work out he decided to open his own book. Have any of you guys tried him out? He was always a good guy to me but not sure what kind of backing he has. Surely he didnt pony up all this money on his own. Maybe its worth a 100 bucks to check it out. Hell he couldnt be too much more of a risk than any other book right now with BetJam,The Greek,and the VIP.com/9.com brands tanking right? He is offering 110% bonus with 10x roll. Not sure if any of you guys got the email but you can tell him I told you. Do you think its worth a 100 bucks? I may give it a whirl if they allow tennis parlays. Gonna call Chuck and find out now. Will keep you guys posted.

Sorry its betchucknow.com

Made a few calls and it looks like its legit. I spoke to a different Chuck that happend to own the whole shop/call center that is handling all the business for the Chuck we all remember. I inquired as to what books business they handle and was told its a few hundred different sites. Its probably just as safe as anything else out there right? I am gonna roll the dice with a small deposit and see what happens.

[BranchDavidian]

I am playing there now. I made deposits at other books thru Chuck, and also always thought he was honest, even tho bad decisions were made by management at WagerHub. I have built up some winnings, and have asked Chuck to send some of my winnings even tho the roll-over hasn't been met yet ( with some concessions on my part also ), since I am nervous about building too large a balance at a new start-up book ( which is risky, of course ). Chuck thought my offer over for a few days, then said he would send the payout either last Friday, or today. I have yet to hear from him. But I am glad to see this thread and others depositing, and I hope Chuck makes a go of this.

[Chopsticks]

Willing to give them a try. Do they have a guest account so that you can view the lines?

[BET THE HOOK]

Give Chuck a day or two and something bigger and better is going to be unleashed. I spoke with him today and he said to wait 2 days and he will call with the new web address and new site info. He said he and his backer are going BIG. I was always happy with Chuck but management at WagerHub(Gia) and WagerWeb(Marcel) kept his hands tied. Now he the boss and the new book is going to live or die with his law. I cant share the name he is going with because I promised not to but he is really optomistic and excited. Sounds like there are going to be some free plays given out to try the book too. Well see what happens in a couple days. Good luck to him.

[Chopsticks]

Tell him that the freeplay to try them out is not a great idea. At least not Wagerhub style as I am pretty sure they were taken to the cleaners. There needs to be real restrictions in place so that they do not get everyone and his dog signing up.

[Keith Richard]

Betchucknow? Are you kidding? Sounds like a new brand of dog chow.Right up there with Bodog.

[Bill Dozer]

Looks like they/he is part of the old network that used to host BetHorizon before they were taken over by Heritage. Probably best to avoid. Lots or McSportsbooks.

[BET THE HOOK]

Thamks alot Bill. He is starting a new book that will be up and running in a day or two. It will not be Betchucknow. I am not sure who the partner is but he said they have spent alot of money on the project and website and he will be the lone boss making the decisions. We can all see what its all about when its up in a few days. He has not let the name out of the bag yet so I wont say it here because I promised not too. He told me to not deposit at BetChuckNow and wait a day or so for the new site to be up and running. It cant hurt to roll the dice with $100 for 125% bonus. Hell, B rated JustBet has had me waiting 2 weeks for my payout and the lies change everyday about when its coming.

[midnight777]

going to give them a try... will let you know what is up....

What kind of lies are coming from Justbet?

[Bill Dozer]

BT Hook, Let us know your Justbet acct so they can check it out?

[BranchDavidian]

As an update, I am still awaiting my payout. It seems there was some confusion as to my roll-over. Winning free plays will increase your roll-over. When I requested the payout, assuring Chuck that the roll-over was complete, he said the money would be on its way the next day ( after making sure that I had, indeed, completed it ). Well, when the roll-over calculation came up short, and I finally learned what my actual roll-over had grown to, I had about 90% of it completed. It has taken a few days, and a few phone calls to get this small glitch worked out, and now I have completed the roll-over. Once again, I am expecting a payout tomorrow. Will update later.

[BET THE HOOK]

JustBet called me forever asking for a deposit and when I sent the cash they gave me 50% bonus instead of the 100% promised so I quit playing there. People called every week asking for another deposit and I told them all not until I get the remaining 50% from the last deposit. After months I finally got it. Then they asked for a deposit a dozen times and I hesitated but finalld deposit 500. After the rollover I requested a payout of 2900. They said 7-10 days which is OK. After 10 days it then turned into 7-10 business days. After that deadline passed then they said my payout wasnt processed until a week after I requested it and it 7-10 business days from that point. I have given up on those liars. I told them that I was taking my complaint to the message boards at SBR and that I wasnt the only person that had this kind of problem with them because I have read the other threads. I was told to consider the source and that anybody that had problems with their book had to have broken rules. I broke no rules but won 6 times my deposit and they put my payout on the back burner because of it. I will never play there again. Im keepimg my business at 5Dimes and BetIslands right now. Ryan at BI is pretty damned good and will go out of his way to help you. I am also gonna give Chuck a shot when the new site is up and going shortly.

[ArunSh]

Yeah Chuck seemed like a good guy - will check out his operation at some point maybe. Can't hurt right now as a US bettor to have some more options.

Bet the hook consider yourself lucky regarding your bonus at JustBet, they pulled an even worse stunt on me. They offered a 100% bonus and after I sent the $ suddenly told me that I was not eligible for the bonus due to a decision by their management. Convenient to do that after I have wasted the time sending the $ and can't reverse the ** unless I eat some pretty reasonable fees. I would advise people to avoid them for sure.

[midnight777]

so I wonder how is betchuck... anypayout updates?

[noties]

i was trying to check the site out and see how well it ran

[mighty maron]

I tried to look at interface and lines...had to create account to do so.......meh

[BET THE HOOK]

That spanish deal is because they are not answering those phones and its going to voice mail. He is moving to a new domain and new numbers and everything. That was a small operation he set up with a per head sho. The new operation is going to be pretty big as he has an investor with deep pockets backing it all. He said he is going worldwide- US,Europe,Mexico,Asia. I hope it works for him. Just sent the email to see if its all ready. He said 2 days which should be tomorrow. At worst we have another out as alot of books are going down.

[BranchDavidian]

so I wonder how is betchuck... anypayout updates?

Update: The money was taken out of my account yesterday. I just returned from picking up the cash. ( Nice that Chuck was resourceful enough to get the cash to me even tho in the middle of this transition. )

[BigDaddy]

chuck will do you right.

[scott235]

I would rather trust a small shop run by a guy with an good rep than most of the advertising shops at SBR. Rep is everything in bookmaking- often an advertising book at SBR is just a license to steal.

[BET THE HOOK]

Ok guys here is the deal I just talked to Chuck today. Go to http://www.betgrizzly.com/Login.asp and this is the new site. He said they are working out a few kinks but its all up and running. Tell him BET THE HOOK told you about the site and he will give you 125% bonus with 10x rollover on initial deposit. Also 100% bonus on reups 10X roll or if you rather 30% bonus 5x rollover. Also there are some free plays going out too. $50 FREE PLAY to wager on pre season NFL when it gets going and a few other $50 FREE PLAYS he is working on that will involve no deposit so you can try him out. I am personally gonna send $500 and take the 500 FP to give it a try. If you have any problems or even if you open an account send me a PM and let me know so I can make sure Chuck knows I told you about the site. I am sending my deposit in the morning when I pick up my withdrawl I requested from another book today. Good luck to all and lets hope this all goes good.

[PharaohUB]

i don't see where to sign up. Do I need to call? I am not sure I want to go through all that hassle until I can see what they have to offer.

BTH: Does the 125% Free Play bonus have a 10x RO on the deposit, FP or both? Also, do they have 10-cent baseball lines. TY

[schlichting]

I dont know but its bonus doesnt seems to be good... just 10% cash bonus. besides, it is a new bookie.. a bit risky

[BET THE HOOK]

Wrong. Its 125% FP 10X Roll and no hold. Tell Chuck I told you for the 125% because the normal bonus to sign up is 100%

[Monte]

why even waste time with it use the top sportsbooks

Bonus whoring, noone is interested in how this book "looks".
It does look like a scam btw.

[juuso]

Is the bonus good for Euro members?

[Legions36]

It looks like both sites are up is this for real cause im game if u guys says its good?
