Can we talk about sportsbooks here?

MF-

Depends on the book, usually best to ask the book or someone here.

Both SIA and sportsbetting take credit cards/debit cards (sia takes less cards) and pay out with checks/wires. MG/WU are usually also an option.

Thanks, guys. I'm gonna look into it sometime this coming week.

Wow Durito, you really opened my eyes with this thread. I've always just stuck to the "safe" books for the most part, but I totally catch your philosophy of assuming slightly greater risks in exchange for more soft markets to attack. I've lived most of my life in a cash economy and I think I've allowed that to bias my rational judgement against a great many books operating in the "grey zone" between documented stability and scam/stiff books. I appreciate your candor here, it's obvious that you feel more comfortable sharing information in our presence and based on your self-evident expertise that's quite flattering.

I was all set to create an account at Sportsbetting until I looked at their soccer lines. Why does soccer get juiced so much? Pisses me off since that is what I bet most.

Is anyone at all concerned about having a large amount at Matchbook? Heard rumors of debt and financial trouble there but not sure what the real deal is.

Phoenix is stupidly generous. They have to be hemorrhaging money.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Last I heard they were trying to sell it for $750k, pally. Not sure if that's due to WSEX financial woes or Matchbook itself though. I took my money out of there a while ago.

I don't really have a problem per say (i don't exactly expect you start hanging live 3rd quarter lines or Argentinian soccer) If I was to rate JB/Guardian I'd surely give you all a B (need a higher week max withdraw for A). Just commenting on some recent experiences.

There is often a big difference between C/D books and F books. If you poke around the forums you can usually figure out which books are worth the risk. Most of these guys (SIA, SBG, sportsbook.com, Betus, etc) have selectively stolen at some point in the past, but generally speaking they almost always pay (eventually). Recently though they've been better, though if they've stolen before...
