No problems with them, Good CS, I know my money is safe. But in my opinion to be an A should combine the safety of Legends, with the options of 5dimes, and Legends does not have many betting options. Their holds on futures are also very high, and they deal 20 cents on MLB sides. For people who only bet the major sports then they're fine. But I do a lot of props, derivative betting, and line shopping. They do have their CBB totals up by 8am which is sooner than almost every rec book except for Betonline and SIA. I'll probably keep a little in for baseball props,and CBB totals next season, but for football they are useless to me. They have good teaser odds when you start getting to 3 and 4 legs but they use protection
You want a handicapping tip? Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more. I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice

All good points..they are very vanilla, ya..just was wondering if they stiffed you or anything-thanks!
I dont't think sbr is that reputable as they had BETED as a a+ rating right up until they took everyones money!
I don't think I'd put money into a book with a .com at this point. I read an article just the other day that states our lovely US Govt thinks they can control any website with a .com ending. That is why other sites are .eu or .lv or whatever. And the sites they seized that streamed tv / sports content, they just reopened with something other than .com. It baffles me because the article talked about sites based out of Canada that the US shut down simply because they were a .com. Our govt is ridiculous. United States of the World (or so they think)

My understanding is that they are independent, and use the Future SB software as the engine, but that's as far as the relationship goes.
Where Futurebet was in trouble was getting poor white label groups in. Yes, OddsMaker are not a good bunch, and that has tarnished them. But using software and processing your own stuff, and having deep pockets helps to separate you.
They have many of the key people from Bodog, and they have very strong Asian backing in terms of ownership, and they have very good processing. IE - great software, solid money behind them, and they will get your money in and out fast.
SBR...well, let's just say they left their "watchdog" label behind about a decade ago...knowing first hand that every sportsbook on their A sheet is a high profitable affiliate relationship. Go judge for yourself. VIP Sports stiffed anyone who deposited via SECURE BUXX (including me for like $5000), but SBR made a ton off them and never reported it.
I'll find out more for you once the Pregame Action people are in the office. Greg at Pregame Action has a personal history with the operators, and trusts them and he's received no reports to the contrary. If and when he does, then Pregame Action would adjust to that new info. I am traveling and will not be back until morning and doing this from my iPhone.

That was Covers. SBR had them at C or C+. Johnny is right though, you will never complaints involving their sponsors. Apparently Betphoenix screwed them over, and you see complaints from them plastered left and right
