    Default Time for Tomato's RANT!

    Tomato is sick of the books online.

    Where can he play?

    This is all Tomato wants in a book.

    1. Deposit via CC or other convenient method that is instant
    2. FREE Withdrawal via FedEx Check or other convenient method
    3. 10 cent baseball lines
    4. Safety in knowing he'll get his winnings (B rating or higher)

    The Greek? Bookmaker? Legendz/The Pig? BetOnline? All are .20 baseball lines.

    Matchbook? WSEX? Won't take his CC. Can fund alternatively but it's a hassle.

    Diamond? Tomato doesn't like getting phone calls every other week from them. .20 overnight lines. $50 payout fee.

    That exhausts the "A" options. Now lets look at the "B" options.

    BetGrande? Can't even register there.
    BetAllSports/WagerStreet? Won't take his CC.
    Intertops? $50 check payout fee.
    Carib? .20 baseball lines.
    BetPhoenix/Sports-1? No CC deposit.
    BetMania? Minimum $500 if Tomato wants to withdraw. Yeah. Right.
    BetAtlas/BetHorizon/WorldWideWagering? No CC deposit.
    ABC Islands/Jazz/Loose Lines? No check payout.
    YouWager/BetPOP/Wager7? I don't even see any banking information available until you sign up for an account. Pass.
    BetInternet? Didn't get past the .20 lines.
    Skybook? No check withdrawal.

    Tomato can't play ANYWHERE!

    OK, not that drastic, there are a few options.

    BetJamaica will take ***************. They have free FedEx payouts. They have .10 baseball lines. They're a good option. A small player like Tomato who only goes big once in a while doesn't like the $100 minumum on *************** deposits.

    5Dimes accepts something called **. But again, it's $100 minimum to get money in that way.

    Bodog? Fits perfectly. Problem is, Tomato has another resident at his address that has an account there. Rules state one account per address.

    Justbet/BetGuardian? Could be a possibility. No overnight lines. Pay out back to card rather than check, which is actually more convenient. But what if that doesn't work? Then Tomato has to withdraw $300 on a $600 minimum balance.

    Sportbet/IslandCasino? $10 fee for processing back to a CC (reasonable, but not free). $65 if Tomato wants a check.

    Why do you refer to your sportsbookreview username in the third person? . Are you based in the US or elsewhere? If you can access Euro books, I would look there. I know nothing about baseball so you would have to check that yourself. The down side to Euro bookies is they limit you quickly.

    Also, avoid boylesports. There online site and bookie shops have consistantly the worst odds of all the shops here in Ireland.

    I'm out of touch with the US side of the industry, but I thought BetMania were trying to be a recreational book? A $500 minimum withdrawal doesn't seem very rec-friendly?

    you are a small player why not play at sportsbetting. ez to get your money in and out, the C- rating is a joke. better lines then all A and its free free free every month. One wire and one check. they don't like hitters at that book sounds like you play small so a good fit IMO

    5dimes has 10 cent baseball and basketball lines. I believe you get 1 free withdrawl per month.

    Or try matchbook and fund with a prepaid CC.

    It's going to cost a little money no matter what you do, but the reduced juice more than offsets the fees. I think those are the two best options.

    Tomato plays in the US. No Pinnacle. No BetFair.

    He's done the ******** card. Not a bad deal. Only $1 per transaction when you do pay-as-you-go. This got money into Matchbook and WagerStreet a while ago. But $10 to get the card.

    Perhaps this is the ONLY convenient deposit method for US bettors.

    However, Tomato wonders why every book charges $30+ for a FedEx check?

    You're all wrong, he is an orange! On a serious note, In regards to the $30 - $50 fee that you asked about Tomato it's is a 'processing' fee for the third party processors they use. This can cause online books a fortune. However, I doubht it would specifically cost $30 -$50 per actual withdrawal.

    I believe they are charging extra to cover themselves if the processor they are using goes belly up/ gets caught or just simply goes away and steals all the moola!

    The above applies to all books that cater for the US.
