Default DPT Sports Group

Is there a reason to join one of the books over another? Outside of the Looselines bonus?

Tomato is talking about ABC Islands/Jazz/LooseLines.

Tomato has getting banned/limited from a few too many of his outs and is exploring new options at this point.

Opinions on BetOnline appreciated as well.

Tomato would LOVE to play at WSEX but doesn't feel his money is safe there.

BetOnline is pretty shady. I'd try to get in and get out. IIRC they're all the same in DPT.

Personally I played at both abcislands and Looselines (acct from betrus days) I never cashed out from looselines but I won a pretty decent figure around 9-10 grand.. the limits are/were higher at abcislands however the payout costs for both books are pretty insane and downright criminal... if I recall it was $70 for a ** and $50 for a **, at the time (summer 2008) that was all that was offered. Also, not sure if they still have this... sometimes I would call and request a payout and was told "we took heavy losses over the weekend so we exhausted all our payouts for today, try to call in tomorrow"

Bottom Line... money is safe, they have been around quite a while.. but quite a few books have lower cashout fee's and offer the same exact services that the DPT group offers.

Betonline... Quit playing there because of the customer service, I felt I was treated as just a number and never really had any incentive to continue playing with them.

If you are looking for additional outs... Rebatewager and Justbet are 2 books that I think do a fantastic job of providing a well rounded experience.

Excellent group. I'm 90% sure all of the brands are exactly the same these days. Withdrawal fees are very high so not recommended for small players needing frequent payouts.

It is safe imo, if you don't need fast payouts.
A book like Wsex doesn't stiff players...

About ABC/Jazz, they had very good mlb lines when i used them, but i didn't find much value in foots or baskets. They always paid me fast, but i had to use CRIS for a b2b transfer for my last cashout, as they stopped using Neteller.

I play at ABC and love the variety of bets offered. Checks have recently been added as a payout option. Check limit is $2000 and it arrives in about 5-7 days.

You're welcome. BTW, the cost for a $2000 check is $80, a bit steep but cheaper than receiving ** or ** for the same amount.

I'm thinking about posting up with Looselines today, but I am skeptical if I win and ask for money say 2morrow or Thursday that they will pull that stunt about having paid out too much try back another day. I decline bonuses say thats not a problem. I don't need bonuses or sometype of rollover requirements.
