Intertops For Baseball Anyone?

bigboydan · 03-13-2008, 02:30 PM

Intertops (SBR rated B+) currently has no outstanding complaints or any processing issues at this time. Plus the fact that they have been around for 25 years (online since 96), so you know your funds will be very secure.

They also seem to offer a very nice selection of payment solutions for it's U.S. customers which including Visa & Mastercard. Not to mention one free bank wire withdraw every calender month (check with your bank about incoming fees).

These are the lines that Intertops will be using for the 2008 baseball season:

.10 up to -140
.15 up to -170
.20 up to -190
.25 up to -210
.30 up to -240

Stakes - $2,200 Money Line, $1,500 Spread, $1,500 Totals.

Overnight Lines: 3a.m cst.
Reverse Run Lines: No
5-inning lines:: (RLs, MLs & Totals) No
Reduced Juice Totals:No
Grand Salami Totals: Yes
Team Totals:No

Please keep in mind they Intertops is a recreational book, so they may cut your limits if you start beating their opinionated odds at a pretty good clip.

The one real negative I have about this book is that their software is just awful to navigate through.

What do you guys think ?

I've been with Intertops for 11 years, and believe it or not, their software has barely changed in all that time.

Their overnight limits are a lot lower than the quoted limits; those are probably the daytime liimts.

They are one of the strictest books I've used in terms of canceling wagers claiming it was a bad line, strict enough that they should probably be slightly downgraded for that, even though I don't make a habit of betting "bad lines." I've had bets on baseball ov8.5 +100 canceled as a bad line when Pinnacle had something like ov8.5 -120/un +110, hardly enough of a discrepancy to warrant a cancellation. There was a big scandal a few years ago involving a canceled Super Bowl prop where they cloned a line from some other book and didn't bother moving the line after it was bet up (something like a team +2 punts -115 that was bet up to -190) and a few days later they claimed it was a bad line and canceled all the wagers. They eventually reinstated the wagers after a lot of pressure, but to some extent that's part of a larger pattern, where they lump in state lines that have steamed with "bad lines." However, I've never had any lengthy delays with getting paid (never have waited more than 3 weeks in 11 years), so given that, a B-ish rating sounds appropriate.

BBD make sure you tell these folks which states are not allowed to play there.

Lost some change because Intertops claimed i had a fraudulant acct(i live in Washington, a state no longer accepted). Funny thing, i opened that acct way before they restricted my state, and no I wasnt grandfathered in.

I'm not perfect and I'm glad I could be of assistance to you in regards to making your day.

I thank you sir for keeping catching that minor detail, because that could have potential of possibly turning into a major issue for someone at some point.
