I get much faster payouts from many D- books than from several A and B rated ones.
Good post. I probably would gamble very little if the only option I had were A rated books. These smaller books starting out sometimes have slow moving lines, the CS is usually eager to please and they offer great bonuses, cheap payouts. SBR starts every book out at C if I am not mistaken, and alot of them really want to become established if you dont mind the constant phone calls.
On the other hand take an A+ rated book at Sbr like VIP, well B+ now, this book literally discourages wagering on many events. They juice both sides of the line in alot of events, very rarely offer most tennis events anymore, basically the most unimaginative linesmen alive. The only reason I am still with vip or bookmaker and dsi is because I had tons of betpoints at both places though dsi cut me out of the program because I had accumulated too many.
Before anyone places alot of faith in an A rating, remeber wsex was an A+ book at sbr until 2009.
