Wagerchief... again.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'm considering sending them a decent sized deposit this week. After reading some of the BetPhoenix payout issues, I'm a bit concerned about them. I'm not sure if this is cause for alarm or not. People continue to say that they have deep pockets, but I'm not entirely sure they know this personally. Should I be hesitant to deposit there?

I think they are fine. Especially if you deposit now and cash out before the end of the tourney in march.

What are you after? Free half pt and bonus? You might like the -105 at phoenix better. It's the same lines.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Does Phoenix have the same teaser odds?

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

The free half point is actually a little better than the -105 in most cases.

Does Phoenix have the same teaser odds?

Yes, looks like -110 and 180 at both. BetMania (which BP owned) is offering +100 on 2 teamers (at least that's what their site says).

Higher limits at BP and they will probably let you win more. Especially if you aren't chasing steam or hitting them for the limit every time.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Wait. Wasn't Wagerchief just advertising +100?

Ahh, ok. I guess Phoenix is a better choice then.

Not that I've seen, that was mania that I mentioned. They could be -- I just checked my account though and it's -110 on preseason.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Yeah. $500 won't work.

 

[rito]

And you'd get the dimeline at BP for baseball too. My account right now looks like 5k limits on RL/ML and 3k on totals. I'd assume something along those lines for football. And $100 on team totals, lol.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

What are the BetMania teaser limits?

 

[rito]

No idea, I don't seem to be allowed to have an account.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Hmm. Wonder if Ben knows...

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'd be willing to bet they're along the same lines as Wagerchief though...

I'm probably better off at BP.

 

[rito]

Now of course, they let people take bonuses/promotions etc at all 3 unless you've already beat one. You might be able to just post up at all of them now.

I don't know about mania, they've been around forever, were just bought by phoenix last year. So I don't really know who is running their book now.
