Anyone here have any experience good or bad with Bet Owi?

Curious, what is the allure to a book like this over one of the more traditional outs. What makes someone go I wonder Whoo I should play with? Maybe Bet Owl is a good decision.

No idea

Bonuses.

These are backyard operations looking to make a quick buck

Bonus. Lot of stale lines throughout baseball season. Look at their deposit and withdrawl options.

Those options are what is intriguing me...

Why do people insist on playing somewhere like they are ordering a hamburger?

Have heard good things about them.

they are good so far..... they are one of my outs because of their unique deposit and payout methods that other books don't offer.

that's why you get in and out quick.......take advantage of stale lines and move on.

I bet they last football season at least.

the US can shut down anybook at anytime,whenever it wants.......including bookmaker etc

EDIT: one B rated SBR book offers this method for years....and still does

Ha. Dude the U.S. Government can pretty much do whatever they want. ANY book can get seized at ANY time.

Are you kidding??

We are about to bomb a foreign country with the entire world telling us not to

Even if Congress votes against it Obama will do it anyway.....and the US will face no real consequence

You think the US government can get away with that but can't shut down a gambling operation?

**Smoke** · 09-04-13, 01:30 PM

If the government wanted to they could wipe out the entire offshore operations

You think people would learn from BI

I guess not

**BustinNutz** · 09-04-13, 01:50 PM

I think its worth a hundred or two for a quick hit. Any place offering options outside of the always uncomfortable p2p transaction process will get my ear. That being said after week 8 of NFL you need to resume playing at one of the big boys.

cant agree more

**Cicima6709** · 09-04-13, 08:59 PM

I haven't had any issues with them so far...one of my favorite MLB books.

I had a very poor experience the other day. I wanted to make a deposit but the big 2 were unavailable to me (one the limit was reached and the other the name was blacklisted). BetOWI has a list of various other methods but the only one that was available to me was from a method that is not quite clear on the website using a common e-commerce provider. BetOWI never quite explained to me how this processor worked but I still submitted my CC information. I was told my account would be funded within a few hours. 18 hours later 1 random charge for a totally wrong amount was listed and the descriptor charged did not match the actual processor. BetOWI later said I was not authorized to use this method. The solution: Dispute the charge.

I explained the situation several times to support and I was told consistently "We don't see anything in queue" even after I submitted 2 emails from the processor as well as a copy of my bank statement showing the charge (should have been 300.00 and instead 121.26). After my frustration boiled over I gave up and decided to cut my loss and go back to one of the big books.

I had to cancel my bank card because I did not recognize the charge, the amount along with the descriptor did not match the name of the vendor and BetOWI was rather clueless as to what was going on.

After the entire hassle. The solution was not only to cancel the card but they offered me a reload bonus... that was already advertised on the site as compensation. Trying to hit someone up for a deposit shortly after a botched deposit is probably not the best time to do this.

The bonus is great. The options for payouts are larger than most books. The offerings are quite nice. CS is nice but not knowledgeable about a method they recommend. I can definitely see a situation happening where maybe a problem arises and you have to talk to several individuals before anything is solved.
