Thumbs up Lets talk "Time Delays" Gentlemen

We all know that books like 5Dimes as well as other books will put you on a delay fairly fast if you start get the best of them. What I would like to do is compile a list of books that do this sorta thing, along with types of time delays books have imposed on you throughout your offshore career.

Now since I reside in the U.S.A. I can not play at certain book due to the restrictions. So am going to rely on you fine SBR posters to help me out with the info I am seeking.

Delay? Books would accelerate their software in order to accept my bets...

They can't take my bets fast enough...

Bet365 In running can be VERY slow, especially golf.

I know 10Bet will impose a 90-120 second type delay on people. Now that is just ridiculous

I'm not sure what type of time delay Bet365 uses at all, because I never played there at all. However, I do know that they have been known to show players the door after making only 2 wagers.

Never faced any delays at Bodog even when I was up $15k earlier this year. But I do encounter long delays on my iphone.

If true, can't u just call it in? Or does the delay extend to their phones?

2 Bets? lol Why would that be? Ive had an account there for 10 years, they stand at every English horseracing track and they have god knows how many shops on the UK highstreet. If you work out how much they have on a favourite in a horserace its astronomical, soccer matches as well, this isnt a small outfit. Maybe it was because they knew you were here in the US. I use my english bank to bet with them but theyve asked me many times where I'm actually living because of my IP. but let it go because the account is funded and paid back into my English account. I dont know how much you bet but the exchange rate is $0.50 = £1.00 so your 20 grand is actually 10 grand to them so I cant see it. Whilst im not saying what you say is incorrect I am saying they take a lumpy bet off anyone, albeit thats my experience.

I cant speak for them and I cant speak for how much they would lay american sports bets for. I do know they take individual bets of £100,000 on soccer all the time, theres even a column in the Racing Post newspaper in England now on a mOnday morning reporting which large bets were struck.
As I said, whetherits because they know you are in the US or whether its because they think you might know something they dont,I dont know, but everyone in the UK knows they are a player.

Most serious punters in the UK know they're a joke.

Theyve just sold off their entire retail division for a quarter of a billion so they can invest it in online gambling and then knock big bets back. lol
