    Re: Sportsbook Question

     No I talked to a rep from BetUs and he offered me 100% bonus.  I have not been answering calls from them for the last 2 weeks or so and I didnt like the customer service but it is probably a rollover bonus.  I am at work so I can't answer my cell and work phone at once so I told the rep to call me back later.

    Stew, I dont know of any books that do.  You could apply for a Visa/MC credit card.

    CFB Bowl Season (Top Plays) 2-1 +2.9 units/ 6 units wagered. Ended the season with a 4 week undefeated WAC streak.

    CBB: 28-16 +12.3 units
    MLB 2010: 4-1 +1.52 units

    MLB 09: 10 game winning streak all under -130

    Stew:

    I think BetUs is terrible. Their lines are the worst of any sportsbook in the business. They are 1 to 2 points off what the line is supposed to be. As far as withdrawals, I've never gotten one.

    I have heard other bad things about BetUS. However, the lines being off by 1 or 2 points is hardly a bad thing. That is definitely an asset. If the line is in your favor then bet at BetUS.  If the line being off by a point or 2 is going against you, then take your bet and place it at another book. Don't limit yourself to one book. Always try and get the best of it.

    With these NBA playoff games, the live betting at BetUS is beautiful.  If you take matchbook and betus and play the in game lines you can make some decent money. There are so many scalping opportunities every single night. I have been blown away by it. It may have been a mistake, but the other night i actually got the Rockets -150 and the Blazers +300. The opportunities usually are not that good. However, last night i was able to get the bulls +135 at betus and the Celtics +125 at matchbook during the game.

    Very valid point, Ray.

    Thing of it is, I don't make enough to have money tied up in 2 or 3 sportsbooks. I generally have money in only 1 book and that's it.

    Re: Sportsbook Question

    I would generally agree about the betus being the worst but I used them last season for underdogs in the NCAA football.....they had lines inflated from 7 1/2 to 10, no joke.....if you want to use them for underdogs only that would probably work out, the only problem is once they start tracking how you play they will lower the number on your account, and that is a fact

    Arguing online is like running in the special Olympics, even if you win...you're still retarded

    very true

    I am probably already having my lines adjusted at BetUS although i can't say that for a fact. I know during football season, i was usually getting a 1.5 to 2 point difference on the "public" type games. I haven't noticed much difference at all in basketball. It could just be a football thing, but i really don't know

    If you are only going to have one book, then betus is not the place. I really don't trust them to start with, but i do have an account for certain situations like i mentioned above.  If you take the bonus, the 6 time rollover is an absolute bitch. Especially if you have multiple books and rarely find that betus offers the best value. Honestly guys, if i had to have one book not counting betting exchanges it would be 5dimes. However, that is just my opinion.
