Why would you play at B+ sportsbook when you can play at A+ sportsbooks

good post 2cents

I don´t know bet911. But I guess Betphoenix needs money to pay their pending withdrawals.
There´s a very high possibility that Phoenix is a pyramid scam.

I was recommended by SBR, I am sure I am on their sheet - I figured they did a little research, when doing their ratings.

B- to B+ Good, minimal risk to players funds. Top 10% of all books.

B+ is a sliver away from A- to A+ Elite, top 1% of all Sportsbooks, Guaranteed safety & quality.

Am I missing something.. when the day comes we cant trust a B+ rating, an A- must not be far behind.

[Chopsticks]

The difference between Phoenix and Bet911 is that BetPhoenix have a lot more cash on hand, whereas Bet911 had to make it up as they went along.

I would think that BetPhoenix of all the "top" bookie would know what insane bonuses will do for a book in the long run. You may not remember it, but back in late 2008 they aquired a bookie called BetOT. The exact details of their affilliation can be debated, but that is not the point. What happened was that BetOT offered insane bonuses. I am sure some of the oldtimers here remember the good old K100 bonus code, and also the 400% moneybookers rebate offer. You could deposit using a 100% offer (8xroll? I don't remember), say for $500, if you managed to lose that you could redeposit $500 again and take advantage of the Moneybookers rebate offer, so you would get a $2000 freeplay. It had something like a 18x rollover though, but it was manageable. The best part was that you could also get the offer in £ and €, so the potential freeplay money was doubled. Oh, and you could also cash out one week and reload the next.

The bonus fest didn't last long though, maybe two months of full party time before deposits didn't cover the huge withdrawals. Mike and Alex over there basically just ran away from everything (and started BetDos). Phoenix distanced themselves a bit from them, but they took care of all the players. The affilliates were, as far as I know, not paid out ("What is the exact affilliation between OT and BP" was a big deal in the affilliate arena after things went south)

BetPhoenix doesn't need to offer those big bonuses. Their product has or has had so many flaws it is not even funny, but they could manage without those crazy bonuses, unlike Bet911. I do think that BetPhoenix learned a lot from the OT days, so they would know what the limits are and how to set bonus rules (i.e. only losing accounts, no europeans, 30 days hold and so on)..

I know and can remember Betot very well

more ghosts bashing Phoenix....... seriously, it is getting old.

[moonbeam]

you failed

[2cents]

I do not think Bet Phoenix has allot of cash or I would have been paid by now

This is the current promo at Bet Phoenix... see thier bonus page...I guess they still have not learn their lesson, or can offer great 100% bonuses with a 50% rebate, if they do not have to pay any time soon.
$100 for $100 CASH + 50% Rebate on Net Losses from Preakness Stakes Day!
# Requires deposit of $100 USD
# Customer will receive the regular 10% weekly rebate plus an additional 40% horse rebate on net losses from Preakness Stakes Day for a total of 50%.
# Must accomplish a 10x rollover of the100% cash bonus + deposit + 50% rebate .Otherwise the client will forfeit the bonuses, fees and winnings coming from this promotion.
# *Further restrictions may apply for this promotion.

* I think the further restriction is the customer has to wait to get paid, if they get paid at all

I am just pointing out that bet911 and Bet Phoenix, are both offering a HUGE bonuses.... with bet911 you know you will NOT get paid, and with Bet Phoenix, you have no idea when you will get paid.. not a much better option

I just sent Bet911 a $1,000. 70% bonus was too good to turn down. I have a good feeling with these guys.

Good Post 2 cents.

How about WSEX? Another comical broke sportsbook that is still rated a C over here.

[tltaylor89]

If Betphoenix is giving you over 8X roll you are getting cheated.

[oldtim]

SBR for the past 2 years has said to avoid books with a 100% bonus. What has changed since then?

[2cents]

Good point .. Old Tim

They pay to advertise...that is what is different.

All other books that do not advertise, and offer a 100% bonus .. are the ones you need to aviod .

2cent's is just another ghost from a few people that are pissed cause they violated bonus rules or their account got hacked cause their wireless connection wasn't as secure as they think.. i've seen it before...

i've been playing at BP for awhile now and have never had any problems receiving payouts or account being hacked.. I'm also up over 6k with them in a period of 3 months with 2k still sitting in account.. it's all a bunch of bullshit to discredit a legitimate book cause some retards didn't read the fine print..

[vitalyo]

I hope you're joking? They're not paying people anymore. If you did send the money, I would say that you have little or no chance of seeing it again.

If 70% is too good too pass up with an F rated book, why not go to all F rated books that offer 100% + bonuses?? You get to see a nice chunk of change on top of your deposit but you will never actually see, let alone spend the money, in cold hard cash.

uhm, you do know what sarcasm is?

[Fishhead]

There is a tremendous run on the bank at BP right now because of all the negative posts and/or red flags.

I was contacted by phone today by BOTH BETPHOENIX and WAGERCHIEF with offers.

I will use the wait and see approach.

I'm pulling for BetPhoenix

It's an outright shame that BP continues to recieve a B+ rating here at SBR.........really hurting this sites integrity.

[oldtim]

Not sure who runs or moderates sbr forum.. But I know for a fact one of them said to never join a book offering a 100% bonus. It's obvious some sort of rating was paid here. This is just another site that makes money by people losing there's.

Of course, which is why I started my response with "I hope you're joking?" Btw, there has to be a tone in order for someone to be sarcastic, harder to pick up through text.

I have had my account hacked, and BP is stealing my money. Could you explain your hare-brained people "got hacked cause their wireless connection wasn't as secure as they think" in a little more detail? Is your theory that 4 different SBR posters (and God knows how many other people), 2 of whom have been reimbursed in full by BP, none of whom knows each other, living on different continents, none of whom have had problems with other accounts being hacked, all happened to be targetted by 4 different local hackers who all had the same MO?

How are people this stupid?

[oldtim]

Sorry about your loss Gambler.. How much did they steal from You?

[KGambler]

About $3K. The "hacker" went into my account and placed a bunch of stupid parlays. In the other 3 hackings, the hacker had went into the casino and did things like hit on 19 and 20 in blackjack. I had heard about this right here on this forum and asked BP to block any access to the casino from my account. That's probably why the hacker/BP employee placed stupid parlay bets instead.

I was able to notify BP before any games in many of the parlays had even started. In many cases, the games were scheduled for later in the week because they were NCAA tourney games. Despite this fact, BP waited until the parlays were all losers (instead of just cancelling them before the games even started) and then gave me the old "Sorry, all bets final".

I submitted a complaint with SBR. I have to hand it to SBR, throughout this "investigation" they have been a really great proponent and apologist - for BP! BP will not provide me with with any info, although I have made specific requests.

But don't worry about it. BP is STILL looking into this. They have their best people working on this. I believe they have assigned Inspector Clouseau and Harry Crumb to head up the inquiry.

Here's the thread if you are interested. There is some nice, eye opening info in here:

SBR is turning a blind eye on this, Must have been a huge advertising deal.
