    AmericasBookie (SBR Rated D+) is part of the Apex family of books (aka: A Robbie McPhail book). As some of the old timers around here already know Apex books have had their fair share of problems in regards to complaints however, their hasn't been a major complaint/dispute that I'm aware of since I believe 2005 range.

    Hi Guys,

    SBR John, does not have to watch his back when in CR, as the scam books know they are scams, and do not need any extra attention, by threatening people, who are just exposing the truth, SBR provides a good service, and is a great starting place, when looking for a sportsbook.

    I agree there are many books better then Americasbookie.com, but are just as many or more worse then us.

    If you take the time to search the forum, you will find, we deal with a smaller recreational type of player, and we have not had any problems with payouts, since our inception in 2005. Plus have work closely with Justin, of SBR, to resolve any old issues as well.

    Thank you for sharing these comments with us all, Tis appreciated

    The mirror fact that your allowing Justin to work closely with you operations it does give me a bit more confidence to play there in regards of being treated a little more fairly nowadays.

    BTW, You mentioned above that their were many other books worse then your establishment. Might I ask who you feel in your opinion are worse than your establishment sir?

    Big Boy Dan,

    A few examples, of sportsbook rated the same as us, that are allot worse then us in my option are.

    Sportsbook.com
    WSEX.com
    Jazzsports.com
    BetRoyal.com
    WagerWeb.com

    All these books have many many threads about No pay or Slow pay, or Bonuses being taken away .... AmericasBookie.com has been online since 2005 ..6 years without, any real problems, is a pretty good track record.

    Risk vs reward. Would you rather play -EV at an A Book or +EV at a C Book?

    What do you mean? Lines are the same at most/all books..Id rather play at a site where i know ill get paid if i win a few k, as opposed to going on a hot streak and having it be monopoly money. Just my opinion.

    Not saying to play at D-/F Books. However some average decent paying Books may have 105 lines, better teaser prices, beatable props etc... I'll take them over say A+ Legends that is ultra safe but extremely difficult to beat.

    Joke of a book , about a year ago a buddy mine got a call advertising same day payouts etc etc and the world and how their D shit rating is because they do not pay SBR and the forum guys are all crooks. Now you see this dude around here trying to be a boot licker..hahah

    He won like 3k and the same day payout then turned into 48 hours and his limits reduced to 250 because they said they were recreational only.

    What can one gain by playing at this low rated book , with a shitty website , bad odds , TERRIBLE reputation , low payouts and basically copying of bookmakers lines.

    I do not care once a stiff always a stiff.

    Stick with SBR books and dont sweat it.. very easy

    Hi Guys

    JM765, you can fell safe with a few dimes..

    Taxer, you brought up , a few points.
    1. $3000 payout within 48 hours is pretty good...when other D books take 4 to 6 weeks, if you get paid at all.

    2. Yes we are a recreational book...We are not in the business, of risking players money, by taking what we feel is smarter action. Your friend won, got paid fast, and limited to $250.

    3. Boot Licker.. Is just good business to follow up on posts, that are related to our company.

    4. Stiff.. We have not had a NO pay, or Slow pay since we opened in 2005 .. hardly a stiff

    You're complaining about a buddy that got paid in 48 hours 3K? They have every right to limit his risk amount, bottom line they paid.

    I got a nice 4 figure payout from these guys a few months back, and it was quick, can't remember, but it was 2 days or less.

    I'm gonna throw them a bit more here when I get back from a trip.

    No sir,

    You took a great while to get him the 3k not 48 hours , so your saying you pay 3k in p2p in 48 hours? So m
    Point is why would anyone on this board want to take a chance with you , when there are so many other better options like SBR JOHN said.

    All due respect your book is not competitive , your lines are weak , your reputation is weak , your payouts are weak , your limits are weak , your website is weak you dont even have live chat and your comeback is that there are worst out there why dont you worry about getting out of that D rating you have due to clients who got stolen their money a few years back and stop talking bad about other books to make yourself look good.

    Point is you cannot come into SBR acting like your the best when clients got their money stolen a few years back and claim you are not as bad.

    I lost my money with Cascade and Betonsports , trust me if I can spare any of these newbies around here the grief of playing at a stiff sportsbook I will.

    You talk about follow up , how about all the clients that you call saying SBR sucks that the ratings are BS and that all the forums are crooks.

    Like I recall you told my friend ¨ SBR sucks all they want is money we dont pay them they are crooks and they extort books¨

    NOW you want to show up on the board and act like you love SBR.


    ***** PLEASE

    Zach,

    What happened to you impersonating other sportsbooks?

    New player victim to sportsbook impersonator
    Player: After hearing about how good Legendz was and that you gave it an A+ rating I decided to join. I went to LegendsSportsbook.com and sent 250 bucks! It wasnt until 2 week later when i tried to get there from SBRlines did i realize they were two different websites! I checked the rating guide and realised a scammer has my money.

    Robbie, formerly of defunct Apex Sports (SBR rating F) is operating legendsportsbook.com which has attracted bettors looking for the real Legendz (SBR rating A+). SBR has warned players since 2006 of LasPalmasSportsbook.com after readers reported depositing in what they believed to be LasPalmas (SBR rating B-). Bettors should also beware of OceanSportsbook (SBR rating F) and AMERICASBOOKIE (SBR rating F). Both are part of this network of scam sites.

    SCAM ALERT: Industry scammer continues to trick players into joining sportsbooks. Robbie McPhail is operating LegendSportsbook.com which has attracted bettors looking for the real Legendz (SBR rating A-). SBR warned players in March of Mr. McPhail’s LasPalmasSportsbook.com after readers reported depositing in what they believed to be LasPalmas (SBR rating C). Bettors should also beware of OceanSportsbook (SBR rating F) and AMERICASBOOKIE (SBR rating F). Both are part of this network of scam sites and are spamming email lists offering large bonuses.

    Homie its the same guy , SBR already verified this.

    My job here is done.

    Now lets wait for Zach to claim its a diff person and then I am sure SBR will come in and ban him for lying.

    The D rating is there for a reason.

    Thanks for the post.

    Feel free to explain the history a bit if you like. I seem to remember another book handling the processing for AB or maybe fully under an umbrella.
