Default Bookmaker, Bodog, or WSEX?

For US citizens, which site do you think is the best and which is the easiest withdraw your money since we cannot use Neteller, click2pay, etc...

It kind of depends on what type of player you are.....

I would say BoDog right now and the easiest method would be either bankwire or Western Union.

Best: WSEX/Matchbook, with free transfers between them.

Easiest cash-out: Couldn't tell you at this point.

From a safety and legal perspective I also really like WSEX, because they have already dealt with the US legal system in the past.

wsex, never had a payout stiff in the years of business, that's enough reason.

I think BetJamiaca and TheGreek are the best, I have been a customer of that group for 12+ years now and I have gotten paid every time that I have taken out a withdrawal, I have been very happy with them both. They have found ways to get funds into your account without a big problem either. They will continue to do this also and be ahead of the government I believe. If there is a way they will find it to deposit funds into them and I sure don't see them leaving the market either anytime soon.

I do advise though if you are playing the horses to go with BetJamaica they give a 3 percent rebate and even higher than that if you are a higher player. The Greek has too low of payoff limits and BetJamaica is much better, they have payoff limits of tri's set at $600 for a $1 which is the best out there I think.

I am thinking to go with BODOG. Everyone, please don't use BETUS.COM because they are a bunch of liars and FRAUD!!!!!

They made me faxed agreement, Driver License, Credit Card (back and front) for my withdraw. When I deposit the money it was not that hard :-).
BETUS.COM is a fraud, I just know now that they are being rated at D+

1uigi, of the three you listed I'd go with WSEX in a heartbeat. TBlues lists the other two books I think are top of the line. Bodog's for small timers and has treated their customers with little regard since the US legislation, and Bookmaker's fees will kill you if you're starting with under a $2K bankroll. GL...

Babytyger, I don't think you can go wrong playing at the Greek. They've been around for over a decade, and payout really fast. You'll get your check in about two days, and they do same day Moneygrams/Western Unions. TheGreek and WSEX would be my first two choices. GL...

Default Betus.com Is A Fraud! Shitty Site!

Friends, please do not ever use them. They are horrible. It was so easy to deposit the money in but they made me faxed them driver license, credit card (back and front), agreement.

I am still don't know if they process my request yet. Oh their max withdrawal by mail is $3000 and it will be cost me $59 for Fed Ex. At the moment they don't use Moneygram or Western Union which is not what they said to me at the time of deposit.

THEY ARE FRAUD, their rating is D+.


Just want to warn other!

Sure thing BabyTyger. I hope you eventually get your money from BetUS. They've had problems for years now. I'm glad you found SBR. The ratings on here are accurate for the most part, and you will get paid quickly by all the A+ books. GL this weekend...

That's pretty standard. Not to hassle you, but for security reasons.
