    BetUs

    If anyone here uses BetUs can you please give me your opinions GOOD or BAD as I would love to hear them all as I was surfing them noticed they have some different betting options and I see they have NCAA Baseball(limited) and looks like a great place to play.

    thanks

    i have a couple of $ with betus. don't much care for it. the lines suck, and are much higher for you if you have alot of money in your account. i had around 2k in there once and my lines were much higher than the advertised public line. the only good thing is that you can parlay almost anthing if your into that. other than that i have to agree with triqy. much better books out there.

    They are terrible. I recently deposited there despite having heard bad things about them because the SBR moderators said they were improving. They offered me a bonus via email and when I deposited and replied to collect the bonus, they ignored my emails for over a week, then responded to say they were refusing to grant the bonus after I deposited, saying I "needed to call them for help with my deposit" to get the bonus. (Who the heck needs help making a deposit?) They also never let me bet anything decent, there's a 60-90 second delay and they usually move their lines before I can bet. My deposit was only $200 and my bets in the $20-$40 range, so for a book to pull that kind of nonsense on such a tiny bettor is ridiculous.

    They offer a lot of perks and a catchy site but good luck getting a payout. I just find it unprofessional that a book can take a deposit from your account in an instant, but has all sorts of "regulations" as far as making a payout. I'm still working on getting my payout & in the future won't use BetUS!

    My apologies. At one time, I said they were improving. In the last month, they've taken a turn for the worse.

    I can not say bad things about them. I play them a few months, invited him to several of my friends, some of them were receiving payments for 3-5 thousand dollars without problems for 2-3 days. I do not think that they are so bad as they are spoken above

    Nothing bad to say about this book. I played with them for several months and no problem, they offer a various number of events and have one of the best softwares for american books.

    I think BetUS is a good site if you like betting underdogs. Lines seems to favor the underdog there, as you can sometimes get 1-2 extra points especially in basketball. I don't really like their customer service though.

    So I just got off the phone with these clowns. My ******** bank doesn't have an international BIC code so no EFT/wire. Had to settle for a courier check. A $40 processing fee for a courier check! On a $300 dollar payout, that's a new definition of "juice". Again F*&K BetUS! Good luck to all...

    No big deal. I made a tiny, tiny deposit there just to see if the leopard had changed its spots, moreso than anything else because they send so much crap in the mail, I have people telling me all the time (people I know IRL that probably dont read gambling boards) that they deposited at BetUS or asking me what I know about BetUS, so I was curious if they'd changed. I don't mean to keep harping on you and Bill saying that their CS has improved, but whenever I post about their crappy service, it seems like I get a bunch of replies from people saying "You got what you deserved for depositing there."

    No skrtelfan, you don't deserve that kind of shoddy customer service, none of us do! Allow me to reiterate one more time, BetUS blows like a five dollar whore!!!

    For the record, I did receive my check from BetUS in 7 days but due to all the bullshit I had to wade through to process that payout I am finished with that book. My advice, place your wagers somewhere else...

    i havn't had a problem there, but am concerned with justins comment as he is a respected poster imo. they do have a delay which makes 2nd half plays very annoying, so i rarely try to make a second half play there. if you like to play totals than you should have an account there as you can get some important 1/2 points during football season, as well as totals on most everything else. they send out schedules which i love particularly during baseball season.

    They'll send you many, many schedules even if you don't have a funded account.

    I've had account with BET-US for 2 years.Besides completing the huge rollover requirements,what other hoops do they make you jump through if you want to get paid,say,$300 that's left in your account? Also,which book SHOULD get my business?

    I don't now nor have I ever had an account with them and I get crap in the mail 3x a week. Some of the stuff used to be pretty decent but in the past year it is nothing but recycle bin material, IMO.

    In my case, they refused to even give me the bonus they promised me. After about 7 emails to them they finally replied saying that I had to call to get "help with my deposit" to get the bonus, but nowhere in their email did it say I had to call. Who the heck needs "help" making a deposit anyway?

    I've used them for roughly 4 years and honestly i've never had anything anything even remotely wrong happen. They use to offer minor league hockey odds but apparently decided to dump them which kind of bugs me bc im pretty knowledgeable there. But i've received payouts of 2k+ via check and never had any problems. They do send good calendars and sports booklets so its worth signing up even if you're not going to play just to get them. I even made a huge mistake and bet on something i did not want to bet on and called them and they were quick to cancel my bet which i thought was great cs (would other books do this? i honestly dont know) All in all i've read horror stories about bet us but i mean i've read even worse stories from other sites like 5Dimes so really i guess theres good and bad to every sportsbook ive just been lucky enough to never have anything bad happen. I do however wish there was more live betting games!

    For starters, Bill and Justin reported that their email responses had improved a lot, but in my case, I had to send 6 or 7 emails, no exaggeration, before I got a reply, so that's one example of how they've gone downhill.

    A high percentage of the problems seem to revolve around bonuses which just might not be worth taking to eliminate any confusion. Have to watchout for huge rollover requirments and what wagers even count towards completing the rollover .

    Im hoping to get my money out of there soon. I made a $2000 deposit in the end of January and they gave me $1000 free play bonus on that. The bonus was 100% bonus on $1000 of my deposit. Said I needed to rollover the amount of the bonus and what the bonus was on 6 times. So I had to bet $12000 and wait 60 days to cashout. I have bet well over $50000 in the last month and a half and knowing that my 60days is about up I have slowed down alot, because I want my money out of there. Was down a lot, but rebounded to $2500 in my account. The only thing I like about them is how their site is laid out. Juice is high, and site stalls to bump lines all the time. Was trying to make a first qtr. basketball play on a Warriors game a couple weeks back, and they stalled to bump the total 4 PTS! OMFG! 4pt jump for a single FN qtr!!! I also started being a sucker for their blackjack and squandered most of my sportsbooks winnings with big blackjack losses. I finally called customer service to have the casino blocked and they were hating it. Kept trying to give me other options to not turn in off, or only turn it off for a couple weeks . What a bunch of bull shit. What they told me about rollover when i deposited, was that baseball only counted 60% for some reason. So whatever, I got like 2 weeks until I can cash out from them, and you better believe Im doing it the very first day that I can, and I want to at least take out every dime I deposited. If that means I gotta take a break for a couple weeks and not bet at all, or make $5 and $10 plays until then, then so be it!
