Default wsex?

wsex is rated very high on sbr rating system.

However, the player reviews are completely negative, what's the deal with that?

it seems betjamaica is the best book out there. i am looking to diversify, can anybody tell me of a better site that bj, or any site that is equal to its standards of excellence

My review of WSEX is not completely negative. To my way of thinking, they have been one of the good guys of the industry for years. Love them, especially for baseball.

Important to note that I am non-US. I am aware that there have been some extreme problems with payouts to the US.



As for something better than BetJam, that is not hard for me. I don't love BetJam and can't even be bothered keeping my account funded. Depends on your requirements and where you are.

My personal list of books better than BetJam would be long. It might start with

Matchbook
Pinnacle
ABC Islands
Greek
Bookmaker
Skybook


A bunch more.

WSEX is one of the best and always has been.

Payout delays are a part of the game these days in the USA. Sure it'd be preferable if they found a solution, but people act like they don't want to. That's clearly not the case. Payout delays from there don't really concern me, since I know the money is going to come eventually.

BetJM is great for recreational players. Probably the best.

No, not at all. (assuming you are referring to the A rated books or the books Mudcat listed)

honestly, im not concerned about the speediness of the payout. i need to be 100% confident that i am eventually going to get paid.

do ALL A+ sportsbooks give me that security. do they all have PERFECT payout histories.

This is how i pay my bills and since '06, I have thought of moving to vegas. I don't want to. What books can i trust with my life
