    Sportsbook.com

    Hello everyone! I've become an avid sports bettor over the past couple years with strong success. I've got a 57% NFL win rate along with a 56% College hoops win rate, which is tracked over the past two seasons. Given this success, I'm looking to up my ante and pump more money into the world of sports betting.

    My question is the primary sports betting site I've been using has been sportsbook.com. I also use 5Dimes and Bovada, but my primary success has been with sportsbook.com. Since I'm looking to deposit bigger sums of money, I've began to research these sites, which I'm seeing sportsbook.com is getting awful reviews.

    At this point, there's no way I'll deposit more money into this site, but with the success I've had through them I'm trying to decide if I want to leave the current funds in there for the next season of NFL and NCAABB.

    So my question is, why such bad reviews through them? I'm not seeing anything other than slow payouts, which as long as I get paid, isn't a huge deal to me. Is there some other issue with sportsbook.com which is causing them to get consistently bad ratings?

    sportsbook.com has bad ratings for a number of reasons

    weeks to pay out
    slow pays
    no pays
    terrible customer service
    canceling winning wagers
    dealing dual lines
    violation of international terrorism act 312
    connections to the bin laden family

    I've been paid via eastern teamsters within days a number of times. Solid book for me but I know I'm in the minority.

    I've been paid the same method very timely. I have heard the paper method takes along time.

    I definitely won't be depositing more, but I've loved the lines they provide. Get great deals on underdogs through that site.

    i've actually won over 10K in the sportsbook.com casino, and their slow paying BS turned fatal for me. It a calculated reason they slow to pay to slow pay it's tried and tested that alot of gamblers are complusive and will blow most if not all profits. They are pure scum.

    They pay most players but have blatantly stole from big winners or those who take advantage of their perks and call it "abuse". Good for you that you did the research Joe.

    Why would you play somewhere that takes 3-8 weeks to get paid vs a couple days??

    while better places to gamble - they are still a good 3rd or 4th book.

    I've received 8 checks from them in the last 3 months, none took more than 15 days.

    why do they report this then its really a turn off...

    "Vivian Benson: and the Maximum Withdrawal is $2,500. The time frame for it to be processed and receive is 3 to 5 weeks ...." Anyways I want them greenbacks they accept person to person for deposits but not for payouts its not acceptable even the 15 days i'm glad you got your money in a shorter time frame though.
