BOOKMAKER CANNOT ISSUE PAYOUTS IN A FAST AND CORRECT MANNER

Sportsmozart — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:24:39 GMT

Bookmaker has turned a simple P2P payout into a nightmare! They just cannot issue a P2P payout in a fast and correct manner. Too damn difficult!
I asked the P2P payout week ago , on the same day funds $1600 were removed from my account
Their policy suggest that they have up to 21 business days to issue that payout, which considering the option “ money in minutes” is pure absurd. So 5 days later I called in and checked on them... They told me that they have control # and rep wanted to tell me the details over the phone... I asked them to send me details in e-mail so nothing get's lost in translation.
They had serious trouble sending me that e-mail... It took 5 -6 hours. After calling in 2 more times I finally got a control #. This is something that one should get by default without making any phonecalls.
Today I went to pick it up to ** office and found out that such a control # does not exist !
I am very delighted . What a performance by Bookmaker! Is that a A+ book we are talking about...bad lines, terrible CS... and lousy payouts!
Now for the last 2 hours they are trying to find out what happened to the real control # if it even existed. Lame excuses like " this is not our fault, we are using 3-d party processor bla-bla-bla"
In best books like pinnacle, 5Dimes.... ** payout sometimes takes hours, not days.
With Bookmaker we are on the brim of the second week and nobody knows where the hell my money is...floating around in universe somewhere.
Four a lousy $1500 they have given me a quite run around. I cannot tell enough how important is a books ability to issue payouts fast and in correct manner. Bookmaker is horrible!

5Dimes Blackjack

jimhelp — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:22:30 GMT

I never play online casino games. I'm considered a better than "above average" blackjack player in most corners. I've been banned from a casino in Vegas....accused of card counting single and double deck blackjack. I know a lot of smart people involved in sports investing. They represent all walks of life to include college professors, doctors, lawyers and professional gamblers. Recently, I was commissioned by an independent group to be involved with an audit of online casinos. My task was to evaluate the blackjack operation at 5Dimes. The full report will be released in the next 4-6 weeks. The results, thus far, reveal an overwhelming biased in favor of the house beyond any upper limits of normal (within a generous statistical range) that I still cannot believe. The full results will be published soon. Bottom-line: play your casino games (especially blackjack) at a brick and mortar casino. 5Dimes has a great sportsbook. I can say from 1st hand experience (via research) that their blackjack games should be played with caution!!!!! Invest in the trip to your nearby casino on the river or fly/drive to Vegas. Honestly, I have been appalled with their blackjack operations. PLEASE NOTE: I TEST SPORTS INVESTING MODELS. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT 5DIMES SPORTSBOOK.

P.S. They tout their 3rd party auditor. Take that with a grain of salt. I know who they are and honestly, any 3rd party can be paid handsomly.

Best book for easiest payout?

BlackBabyJesus — Thu, 16 May 2013 19:07:19 GMT

I am looking for the most reliable book online to use that also has easiest withdrawal methods. I have had problems with a couple of sites in past because address in ID and debit card are not the same. I know 5 dimes is most popular site from what I have read, but they gave me this problem about a year ago. I have been laying off online books, but just moved and looking for one that is easy and reliable when it comes to deposits and withdrawals. What do you all think?

US betting exchanges

Are there any sports betting exchanges that can be used by US Players?

Need some good advice please

Michael51 — Sun, 12 May 2013 17:53:07 GMT

Ok guys I need help. I live in South Florida and was using two local bookies in Miami for betting baseball and they both just cut me off completely this week. Bookmakers really are such pussies. That's my mini rant on that.

My question is I need some outs and I want to put money on either 5dimes or Bookmaker... However I would like to avoid the nonsense of getting cut off again as much as possible. So I need people to be honest with me on here. Is 5dimes the same as far as winning? Are they also pussies that will cut you off quickly and is it better to go with Bookmaker?

I've read some threads on here about how Bookmaker won't cut anyone off and you could win 100k from them and they won't blink an eye. I'll believe that when I see it.

If anyone can give me some guidance on how to get some good outs that should at least last me a little while I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and by the way... I understand Boomaker offers 20 cent lines and 5Dimes has nickel lines. I could care less about that I can still crush 20 cent lines with no problem. Would I rather have nickel or dime lines? Absolutely but I am more concerned about a book that will simply take a bet for a little while and not act like a gutless coward.

Thanks in advance.

DubV — Sun, 05 May 2013 20:19:01 GMT

Hey guys,

Are there any sports books online that deal 20 cent juice live lines? Example in-game betting each side would be -110 in terms of juice. The book I currently use deals 30 cent lines so each side is -115. Thanks!

So online poker is now legal in Nevada and they already started dealing. The good news is I live in Nevada, the bad news is I have a Mac and they haven't made a MAC version yet. Does anyone have the inside scoop on when a Mac version will be ready?

Withdrawal Advice

UnemployedSharp — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:17:09 GMT

I withdraw monthly just under $10,000. Check, western union/moneygram, etc.. I'm always concerned about wihdrawing a lot at one time. Red flags etc... I don't need cash quickly right now but what if I did? It wouldn't be to wise to withdraw $25,000 at one time, right?

Bovada's site down

astro_not86 — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 01:45:32 GMT

Bovada is currently down. Was down once this past NCAAF season, that I remember. Really frustrating. Tried calling, but of course, no answer. I know things happen, but the big problem is that when it's down, it's usually down for a while. Where as other places, they seem to fix it pretty quickly. Anyone know of any mirror sites? Definitely a reason to always have a few outs. Thanks for the help in advance friends.

Bank Wire: pros and cons?

winduh043 — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:26:47 GMT

Was trying to get some feedback concerning getting a bank wire withdrawl. I would greatly appreciate any feedback with anyones experience with this method as ive never done one myself. Im thinking of getting one through my local bank which Iv'e never had more than a grand in that account, do you think this will be suspicious? I just dont want to be flagged or anything, I have been questioned thoroughly before from a bank Im not gonna mention here, but long story short was trying to deposit a check I think it was like $2,500, they said I had suspicious activity on my account and was wondering about where the check came from etc. etc. Told them I was a writer. One tip I will share as I think this was a concern on that account, was that I had online WU transactions using my credit/debit card. I highly recommend never doing online transactions as that is visible to your banks on your online statement, just do all the transactions in person. So that check went into collections and after a month I was shown the door at that bank. Got that check back though and was able to cash it fortunately. So since then I've only done person to person withdrawl's as that seems so be the safest play getting your money, doing them twice a month switching from WU and MG keeping it under a grand. Would like to get a bigger chunk out though; should I be concerned about getting a bank wire payout? Any thoughts, feedback, and information on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
