Default BIg Juicy Odds

I was wondering if there has been any comments about BJO?
Has everyone been paid or has there been payout problems. Last I heard they had juice of -103? Is that possable.?
If so what's the limit?

I haven't read of any complaints about them.

As far as the -103 vig goes, they do offer it (even a banner on the site that says it).

In regards to their limits. While I was searching their website for them, I couldn't find them at all. Because they have an error of some sort on that page as you can see below.

Hi Eyeball

Yes they do have 103 lines, I found them very good to deal with their low juice have helped my bottom line. I recently cashed out $5,000 from them. In terms of limits I am not sure I bet approxmiately $1,000 per game.

If you have any questions send Charlie an email (that is who I have been dealing with)
charlie@bigjuicyodds.com

AND, if Charlie actually answers your email. Let us know that too. That would be pleasant and substantive news.

I have sent Charlier 3 e mails none of which were answered so for now I have no interest in playing there. I figure if they can't answer some questions prior to me playing there what's going to happen when I'm there. If this changes I may consider it.

I see "Charlie Stanton" has signed up on the board. Perhaps she will jump in this thread.

For those who are interested, Charlie PM'd me today and I emailed her for the 4th time. This time it was answered promptly. She answered most of my questions, however I have re emailed her back for clarification again. I think she has seen this thread and hopefully kickstarted something.

So we don't inundate Charlie. You might want to share what you get!! Thanks.

How about how high can that initital 10% bonus go? Must be an upper limit on that? The website still does not answer this question.

OK here's what I got from Charlie

Quote:
Hi 20four7-
None of our bonuses will raise you to -110. The only instance that would happen is if you accepted a bailout. Standard rollover is 5x. I
have several different bonuses now but best bet is 50% on deposit....it is going to be lowered soon - not sure when but could be anyway when I get the word. The others (bonuses) don't come close and would be good for deposits under $50- I can get these to you if you wish.
Right now I am doing transfers from poker to sports for our players, all I would need is a request email. We are working on a bridge so that CS will be able to do the transfer so players may get money 24/7
Right now our poker is under going a migration from one platform to another- we are getting off the old software (for player protection- we don't want any issues with our players not getting fast, hassle -free payouts) company and are moving to a much more reliable and well known poker provider, DoBro network. I will let everyone know when its good to go and where-how-when etc.
If you every run into a situation where you cant get hold of me, just call. 702-866-9557 it'll rollover to where ever I am. You may post it in the forum if someone else needs help as well. Our main goal and priority is to make sure everyone has what they need and are happy. If you need further help please don't hesitate as that's why I am here ...for you guys.
Thanks Charlie
I asked about the 50% bonus as far as max deposits go and the reply was:

Quote:
Hi -
Its a special bonus and isn't advertised anywhere but the limit is bonus of up to $1000. So any deposit $2000 or under we'll match 50% of it.
Thanks Charlie
I hope this helps people here.

Thats good to know 24/7, especially with bases starting up in roughly 5 more weeks.

So has anyone else played with them?
I was getting ready to try them, but as Bill says be wary of a new book, the issue is can they sustain -103 juice or is it just a come on to take all our money. Its kind of like "if its to good to be true..beware" I guess I might try them anyway..I'm greedy!

I probably will too, since I can deposit a dime and get $500 bonus. Roll that through 5x and I'm good. I rarely make a bet larger than $500 so it might take me a bit to get through it but I think it's a risk reward scenario.

I have deposited a dime and got a 50% bonus. They don't offer money lines on all NBA or College games. The -103 is for full game only. Their half time lines are -110. They don't offer 2nd half betting (not that I've seen). Their NHL lines and soccer lines are nothing special (-110).

Charlie since she has seen this thread has answered all my e mails very promply and has been very helpful. If I withdraw from there I will update everyone on how that goes.

24/7, Please let us know how your experiences with BJO are when it comes to cashouts.

I'm really praying they survive the baseball season, because I'd like to give them a whirl next football season at that -103 vig they offer.
