    Wondering what the MON @ TOR line will be...I could probably see it about MON -7.5. Tough one to call for me at this point. Cheers

          Are the Al's turning a corner into mediocrity?
          Edmonton has to lose eventually? Right?
          BC a Favorite to ANYONE is beyond sketchy...
          I may sound like a broken record, but wow I like that Calgary Over... AGAIN!

            Hey BB, congrats on your success to date!

            I really like that Calgary over as well plus Edmonton. I am going to ride them until they lose.

            Leaning Montreal and B.C as well.

              I have a feeling MON is going to have their wakeup call with TOR. I'm not a fan but they do have a culture and expectation of excellence which will probably push them beyond their recent failures. MON -5 would be one of my first picks. Cheers

                    Hamilton sure looks juicy Sniper.. Calgary just doesn't seem to have it together, despite winning, they just look out of whack all year... They are the bizarro Bombers of last year, squeaking out games by 4 or less...

                        Some teams I can't bet worth nothing Snipe... Toronto is my #1, and Edmonton my #2... on the other side, Hamilton has been what's found me alot of value this year... Don't think I can't go against that, in particular when Calgary is showing me that they are WAY overvalued...

                          Hi BB. This question is off topic and I'm therefore seeking some assistance on a reliable and relatively cheap and straightforward method to withdraw funds so that I don't get charged through the nose for my transaction(s). You see I normally use 5dimes as my main sportsbook and have used ********** as a means for depositing and withdrawing for quite awhile now. However it seems that they're charging me quite a bit whenever I request a withdraw of funds from my ********** account to my bank account.
                          The procedure is to request a withdraw of funds from 5dimes to my ********** account and then from there to my bank account. However when the funds reach my final destination, the amount deposited is somewhat less than the initial amount I requested from my ********** account. Recently for example they (**********) charged me $47 & change for a withdraw of $730 U.S. Seems like I'm being severely overcharged. They insist there's a premium as well as the currency exchange rate on the day of the withdraw.
                          In any case if you or anyone else can steer me toward a more feasible and less expensive way of withdrawing and transferring my funds, I would very much appreciate it. ********** is pretty much the only way I've ever tried though I have received a wire before but then the banks charged me through the nose as well. I guess the best method I've ever used was Neteller until they ceased operations when the transaction at hand had to do with gaming.
                          By the way I am in Canada.

                              /|\ - If I N S T A D E B I T is available, you may withdraw free once per calendar month... 16 or 17 bucks for every other withdraw in that month.

                                    Montreal - the points seems quite clear today. The problem is that I smell a trap anytime I come across a game like this. I certainly hope that today it´s not gonna be the case. I can´t see Toronto winning this one. Looking forward to BB´s write-up!

                                      Yes but Greekster they're obviously charging you the same fee as they're charging me. Do you not find the charge(s) high? For example knocking a $730 withdraw down to about $680.

                                        That's the first I have ever heard of that and I have been using them for about 6 yrs now. Of course I'm referring to the free withdraw every calendar month Dr.Size.

                                          The fees are what I said they are... Once per calendar month (eg - Jan1 - Jan31) you are permited one "free" withdraw via Instadbt's service..... any further withdrawls in that SAME calendar month costs you $16.... Regardless of whether you are withdrawing 100 or 1000, the fees are the same.....

                                          16 bucks is not much money guy

                                              Wooooa now Spread, hold on a moment. I said $730 - 682 = $48 and that's quite a bit. that was just this week in fact. Normally I get dinged anywhere from $28 to $50 a withdraw. Furthermore as I mentioned I've been with them about 6 yrs and this is the first I've heard about any free redemption every calendar month.

                                                  I am debating closing my 5 Dimes acct because they won't deal in Cdn currency. The American dollar is going to be absoutely worthless compared to ours in a short period of time so I would only keep small change there. Not sure why they won't deal in Cdn. They allow deposits in CAD but then change it to USD...pretty stupid

                                                    BB you mean when you request a withdraw from your I N S T A D E B I T account to wherever your funds go, you get the same amount each time? For example if you request a $500 withdraw, you receive $500? Now my funds are in U.S. dollars and have to be converted into Canadian dollars as well, so they tell me they have to account for the exchange rate.

                                                      Yeah I'm aware of the 5dimes freebie but are we talking about a free withdraw once per calendar month at 5Dimes or a free withdraw once per calendar month from I N S T A D E B I T because I'm not nor have I ever been aware of any freebies from I N S T A D E B I T. So which are you gents talking about regarding the freebie every calendar month?

                                                          2011 - Mon 1-0 (@3@Mon) Mon 40-17
                                                          2010 - Mon 2-2 (W5@Mon) Mon 41-10, (W7@Tor) Tor 37-22, (W18@Tor) Mon 37-30, (W19@Mon) Tor 30-4, (East Finals) Mon 48-17

                                                          I guess on paper, the Argos seem pretty competitive... I mean they Beat the Al's twice in their past 5 games... Unfortunately, just one of those games mattered (Week 7, 2010), and really, take away the couple games to round out the season last year, and Montreal has absolutely CRUSHED the Argo's every way come Thursday, in particular their last 2 games, this year 40-17, and the East Finals, 48-17 ... So I'm concluding that the last 120 minutes of football has been won by Montreal 88 to 34, and tonight they are a 4 point favorite - AND DROPPING...

                                                          Sure.. Als look human last couple of games... but I'm sure the hel not giving up on this team that LOVES to look like they are beatable... Sure alot will point out that last game, the Argo's were right there, hanging on for dear life down 6 in the 4th when Montreal "magically' extended their lead on fumbles and what not... That is a sucker's thinking... and moreso now that the Argo's are 1-4 and their stock is DROPPING...

                                                          I've seen it so many times over the years, as we all have in particular the NFL... a team is hyped up on their pre-season, on late last season... Then they start out terrible, but wait, they are "better than that".. well, I'm here to inform you that the Toronto ArgoNOTS are NOT better than anything... They came close last week in Edmonton, a game in which Edmonotn was bound to finally let down a bit... Up 17-1, and LOSE... Guess what, that makes the Argo's a LOSING squad, tonight playing the 2 time defending champs...

                                                          Why am I even wasting my time with this..

                                                          5x Montreal -4

                                                              Probably because I initially directed my question to you. I thought you might be a good person to inquire about another, hopefully cheaper, means of withdrawing funds other than I N S T A D E B I T.

                                                              Are you on Mtl ml or spread tonight?
