Experience with Betjamaica, Sportbet or Betphoenix?

[stevek173]

OK all now normally I do not mention matters across the street because as you know I dig both sides of the street which I know is in the minority here. I have been winning a lot there and I have been narrowing down my choices on what to do with it.

I have pretty much decided on $1k worth of freeplays from one of these 3 books. The prices vary some for whatever reason, after reading the reviews some I get why to an extent. I use Sportsbook which I know isn't popular either but I like what I have going with them.

That being said I am leaning towards Batjam here, anyone I have talked to has insisted I use them as opposed to the other 2.

Wanted to see if anyone here has had experiences with any of these 3 books before I pull the trigger.

Of the three I've only used BetJam and I never had an issue with them.

With that said, I did not make a ton of $$$ with them so that could be part of the reason.

Sportbet is 5dimes now, so they are fine/good. BetJM is good, but you will find way more betting options at Sportbet. Don't pick BP.

^^^^^
This.

I would avoid Phoenix because payouts are considered special treatment.

Steves I collected a measly $800 from a local yesterday and all of a sudden today I found out that my limits have been cut from $500 to $100.

wtf is this world coming to when a local cuts ME! Bread! Down to $100 limits

I've seen it all.

 

[Bread]

No input on the books. Sorry. I do like 5Dimes though.

 

[stevek173]

Bread - Kidding me wtf? Why don't I believe you funny though

Durito, rest - ty very much. Was going to go Betjam but it is a little cheaper to do it through Sportsbet so I might call an audible there after your input.

TY

I have used all 3 and BetJam is my favorite. I have the VIP card to collect with. Bet Phoenix has picked it up the last 2 years. All in all, I have NEVER had a problem with Bet Jamaica.

When I accumulate points, I buy Phoenix freeplays mainly because they are the cheapest (by a fair margin as I recall). It's not a situation I would go into expecting a same day payout though - that's for sure.

Just in terms of how I feel about the books, 5 Dimes would be my favorite of those options.

 

[stevek173]

Right right. I"m leaning BetJam right now, but they are the most expensive. Yes Muddy BP is MUCH cheaper -

For $1k in FP's (via 4 $250 FP's) -

BJ - 7580
SB (5D) - 7012
BP - 5444

Muddy how did withdrawals w BP go?

 

[Archie]

I'd go sportbet, then Betjam and not pick BP. they don't hand their lines till way too late, they don't have many options or alt lines and their rollover is prob a bit harder to achieve

 

[stevek173]

Right, right, thus the massive price difference. i mean look at that.

Muddy how did withdrawals w BP go?

There is no short answer for this. I myself had a big freaking hassle with them a few months back. It went way beyond just slow-pay. If you want the full story let me know and I will dig up a link to the thread. Suffice to say, it was very very bad.

But in the end, they gave me a big bonus to compensate me for my trouble and I would gladly go through the same situation for the same bonus every time if I could.

But the message I got was the same message I get from reading the myriad of general posting about them: they just aren't good with payouts. Many D books put them to shame.

As far as I know everyone gets their money but they are SLOW.

 

[Archie]

as far as payments from BP, BM, WC I haven't had the problems that other people have had, but I mostly used them 18 months ago. I had a few payments in 1 day via WU or MG can't remember which. with the highest being two payments in under 8 for around 1700 bucks. But I think they've been slower paying since then

 

[vagabond]

Two questions you should consider:
- What's the probability of you making a withdrawal after completion of rollover ?
- What's the probability of BP folding before you make a withdrawal ?

I would not deposit at BP again but BP's free play is much cheaper.

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

I agree with the free play ratio with Bet Phoenix. I used them for a year and never had a slow payout
Betjam doesn't offer as much in regards to free plays, but they pay the fastest of all the books I have used (I have used 6)

 

[stevek173]

I think I am going to go w Sportbet, since they sound reliable and aren't as expensive. Too much payout dirt on BP and BJ sounds good but if I can get a book that apparently is just as good and it costs me less then I will go with them.
