I have been betting online since Al Gore invented the internet, and no Book has impressed me more than Heritage Sports. I believe SBR raised their rating to B+ last year, but it's time to consider raising them to the elite A level. Payouts are extremely quick and CS is second to none. You get your choice of 107 lines or switch to 108 lines, but get 14/5 parlays. They also have free contests that give you plenty of chances to win free plays.

Don't get me wrong; no Book is perfect. Heritage is not a place for prop players. Also, some have been critical because of their "invite only" policy for new clients. But I give them credit for slowly growing their customer base and allowing A+ service to existing customers. Now it looks like Heritage is extending many more invitations out this football season, and I'm damn glad I took advantage of my opportunity last year. If you get a chance to play there, just do it.

I know of no payout complaints, confiscated bonuses or any other BS associated with substandard Books. In short, Heritage is easily a top ten Book. If you play there, you know it too. Share your Heritage experience in this thread and hopefully SBR will get enough feedback to bump their rating one more notch.

ok,we all understood it.Heritage customer service is perfect,the best in the world.
They treat you like a prince/princess.They'll do anything you want.You want a hooker,no problem,they'll take care.

Seriously,an A rated bookmaker must be a big bookmaker.
Not a small operation with incredible CS.

You mean like Sportsbook.com is a big bookmaker and BetonSports.com was a big Book? Bigger does not equal better. I'll take a medium/small sized Book with lightning payouts versus big name/small results Books. But that's me.

[Hareeba!]

ok, you've mentioned fast payouts and good CS but only mediocre lines

to be worthy of A I would expect to see Pinnacle/Matchbook/Betfair odds comparability and fee-free payouts as well

Small books might be good for popcorn bettors like yourself but you have to understand that bigger players need bigger outs.

[BigDaddy]

it will never happen as they don't pay SBR for the grade.

but they are for sure an A book IMHO

Payouts are free unless you have an overall profit of $5000 or more with . As far as lines are concerned, you can find several +Ev opportunities daily if you follow the lines closely and hit quickly.

I think Heritage is a good book as well. Been there and got a real nice autographed Pete Rose photo from the owner in 2006. That has nothing to do with the sports book being good, but a nice photo of Pete. Guy should be in the Hall of Fame.

I can bet two dimes there no problem, which is all I need . Never thought of this as popcorn money.

[BigDaddy]

been with them for over 5 years and not 1 payout complaint that i have ever heard of.

they get you a check the next day

they allow winners they just don't like steam chasers (most books dont.)

they have some of the best promos of any book around and they have the best english speaking reps of any book offshore that i have ever used.

I guess that makes Bookmaker a C Book by your free payouts standard.

general are you sure it was heritage?

back in 2006 i got one from SBG global i still have it and it came in a nice black folder

i agree he should be in the hall of fame.

yep, certainly no better than C!

their odds just don't measure up, and limits on several of the sports I play - just not a contender for A imho

but when I did play there I thought you could get a free payout (limited) if you asked for it on a particular day of the week?

[philswin]

If Bodog is A- (They bounced 3 checks to me and had to wait 9 months for a payout)
BetPhoenix B+ More problems reported on this site than any other book
SportsInteraction B- This place has had so many issues

Yes then Heritage should be an A++++ because their is no comparison

I believe they recently pulled it. You now have to shell out for all payouts from Cris and their transfer fees are the worst as I'm sure you know.

no, i didn't know as have never needed to bother with a transfer and no longer maintain accounts with Bookmaker/CRIS/DSI as they are simply not competitive with the genuine A books

[Dark Horse]

A- for sure.

About time to prove the guys wrong who think that A status requires SBR advertising. If not now, then when?

[dark star]

Tremendous book.Not a complaint here in 5+ years;and I'm up what I consider to be a solid amount in that time frame

Exactly what I was I thinking when I started this thread. An A Book is an A Book, period.

so what are your criteria for an A book?

the only ones I'd give that high a grade are Pinnacle and Betfair and maybe SBO, with Metchbook just falling short

on what scores does Heritage match, let alone surpass those books?

I'd be struggling to think of any

Can you play parlays & teasers at Matchbook?Or make awager by phone?Pinnacle no phone wagers & no USA customers.I know nothing about Betfair

Compare Heritage to other A Books. I tried to give you a Cris example and we seem to agree that Heritage is better than Cris by your criteria. Look at another A+ Book like Legendz which also has lightning fast payouts, but expensive 20 cent lines. I play at both places and Heritage is by far the better out. So when you compare Heritage to other SBR A Books, they are definitely on a par. Thus they should be rated accordingly.

No you can't parlay at MB - that's one reason why I wouldn't rate them an A
Phone? not interested, not important.
USA customers? - not relevant to the grading - the reason they don't accept Yanks is down to your absurd anti-gambling laws
Betfair is Matchbook x 500

[increasedodds]

Are they -107 for everyone? I just got an invite.

Phone not important...LOL guess you don't work in the construction business & have never had computer issues!!!Thats my 2 cents

[big joe 1212]

they need to pay SBR to be an A

[HedgeHog]

Yes. However, you can also switch to 14/5 pars, but your straights would be at -108.

no, I'm not in construction, I'm in the winning business and don't rely on a single computer or connection, let alone a single book - if Pinnacle's not there, there's always Matchbook, Betfair, SBO and a few others

[dynamite140]

Can someone tell me about heritage deposit and withdraw options? How much are check withdraw costs and do they offer 1 free every month? Is there a limit to the check amount?

[The Bishop]

Agreed, great book.

[increasedodds]

I just logged in... I like the 14/5... Sending them a wire this week...
