    They finally agreed to raise my limits there. They have been around awhile but see mixed reviews on there. Any thoughts has anyone on here been paid recently.

    It's a typical C type book

    Hit or miss

    The question you need to ask is why play there?? Is it different than any of the better rates books?

    Half point in hoops weekdays that help a lot. But I think the max is 250 so if you play that or less it's a good book!!!!

    I guess for so long i always told them no because i wanted higher limits. I think Skybook is their sister company and it is funny they have a B rating.

    Has anyone ever been screwed by them trying to say you are not a recreational player? That always worries me when i see that . But overall it looks like people have gotten their cash out. Still funny Skybook has a B rating here which is their sister Company and hey have a C rating. Has anyone been paid say the last couple months. The guy Kenn who raised my limits called me again trying to get me to deposit. They have a good Thanksgiving bonus going now too 25% Cash and 50% FP 10Xs Rollover.

    Does Metmania give you better Odds on Mets Games? I would think they would.

    back when they had an ewallet *** available I deposited a 2K in BP. lost that, then I throw a hundred for 100 percent match bonus for casino,, too my little $200 to live dealer and ran it upto $5500, I failed to read the terms and conditions to see 10 times deposit max cashout out. That left a bad taste in my mouth because I think it's shady as hell if a player rolls a bonus 40 times you'd think you are free and clear ans not limited. Infact most sportsbook have high rollovers for casino bonus and don't cap winnings. To add insult to injury I got the run around from live help on the p2p and that took 7 business days.

    Well-i got totally screwed by them as i have said on the other thread . They raised my limits then after 1 win lowered them to $500. And the guy Kenn who raised them has disappeared. So i will never trust them or their sister books like skybook EVER again.

They will NEVER get a cent from me again. They had their chance and they blew it. Fking A-holes for calling me again trying to trick me again. Hope every one of them that screwed me dies of Cancer or Aids or better yet both.

    Just the ones that flat out lied to me and screwed me. And it is not just that they lowered my limits they tricked me into depositing $500 by promising that then went back on their word. Liars and A-holes all need to die painfully.

    If you have $500 limits at Betmania, or any books in their group, be happy about it. Most sharps or even semi-sharp guys have $250 limits.

    Also, if you take a bonus from them and they don't like your action, they will revoke the bonus.

    If i had agreed to $500 limits then i would be fine. But they keep calling me over and over. Especially Skybook. They STILL call me after Fking me over. The guy Kenn asked what it would take for me to deposit. I told him the only thing were the limits. I asked him beforehand if i did deposit and won a couple games would i get limited because i would not deposit there if that is how it would be. He ASSURED me that would NOT happen. After one single bet it happened and that Kenn guy would no longer talk to me. I am happy for everyone that they pay. But you do not lie to people to trick them into depositing. I would have deposited elsewhere if i knew that.

    They pay. It takes 10-15 days via *********** so you can essentially get 1-2 payouts of up to 2k per month.

    They limit quickly and tiny limits.

    Anything "mania" just sounds cheap to me. Everybody I have met in PERSON that has bet on the internet has had, at somepoint some kind of issue that wouldn't happen anywhere else but offshore. Were talking 100% of folks I talk to in person have had issues online. It is a joke. If you win too much they cut your limits. They make it as difficult as possible to deposit/withdrawal once you get up on them lifetime. Happens to everyone. Scary when you think of it.

    I was not up on them at all because i really have never bet here . Every time they called i said No the limits are too low. Skybook at one point had way higher limits then they changed that. They call me all the time from Skybook even after doing this to me. I see they pay but that has nothing to do with what happened to me. I will not deposit where i get low limits because of my style of betting. They actually called for like a year and kept bugging me to join and then the Kenn guy basically flat out lied just to get my deposit then disappears . He is still there they will just not let me talk to him. Probably not his real name anyway.
    Then the other guy that talked to me (Ace) starts telling me to just place a few bets and in a week he will see if he can get limits higher. Of course he agrees that what Kenn did was wrong and he was being reprimanded but of course that is BS . He also hinted to me of being more then a recreational better because i wanted higher limits. My reply to that was i have a damn job i do not bet for a living . And if i could not have had the higher limits i should have been told that by Kenn before you got my money and decided to screw me after one single bet.
    What bothers me is they admit to doing it yet they will not correct their mistake. So basically let's lie to him to get him to deposit then afterwards not give him what we promised . That is what they did. In all the years i have been betting this is the first time someone has did something to me like this.

    played with sky. they f'dd with my limits all the time. I had a 2500 deposit and they watched account like a hawk... Id have to call the line manager to work it out several times. Eventually had dime limits, 2 if I called in and he needed the action. He didn't like my betting patterns mostly... whatever. I did get 6 dimes over three weeks payed to my door extremely fast. But it came from a guy named vinny in california postal money orders.

    Not a book that wants any sharp action in any way.
