I would like to hear thoughts from those who use Sportsbook.com or have used them in the past. I want to hear the good and the bad, please. To be honest, I’m not interested in hearing from people who have second hand information, instead, I want to hear from people who have experienced this for themselves at Sportsbook.com. I use Sportsbook.com very, very little, because I had a street bookie in NYC, but I’m away for graduate school and need an online book now. However, after reading a bunch of write ups here by the SBR staff and seeing their D- rating for Sportsbook.com I wanted to do my own research and possibly find a new book or perhaps an additional book. My concern is that I keep hearing how Sportsbook.com stole money from clients in the past, don’t pay correct amounts at times, and that it takes weeks or months to receive a check that could or could not clear. What I don’t understand is how have they stayed in business for more than 12 years if they continue to steal from people, not payout the correct amounts, and bounce checks off the walls? How? This makes me wonder if there is any truth in these statements or if there is bias behavior taken place. Trust me, I want my money safe and that is why I am asking for your input.
Nevertheless, I’ve been searching for a new book for the past 4 days and I just cannot find one that is satisfactory. All I’m interested in is my money being safe, debit/CC deposit, fast/decent turnaround times for payouts, and I’ll take care of the rest. As a software developer, I appreciate the awesome software Sportsbook.com uses and obviously will not find that anywhere else so that is no longer a priority, btw.
First, Matchbook looked good especially because all of you rated them the #1 book back in August of this year. However, all of sudden I start reading threads about how they are going downhill for a number of reasons and that they are financially backed by the group who backs WSEX. Well, I also read how people are starting to become unhappy with WSEX payouts since they are taking forever and a day. Furthermore, BetOnline looked good, but it appears they lower limits when you know what you’re doing and win a lot. Although I don’t like to judge a book by its cover, and not like it matters, but let's be serious, BetJam and The Greek have websites that resemble something I developed for a high school project before I became a top-notch developer, yet they are an online sportsbook? They can’t afford proprietary software or pay for a nice turnkey style site to make things easier for the client? I can go on and on, but I’m finding out that most of the promoted books in the header of the SBR website are nothing to be excited about, yet they have A+- ratings. Come on, people… lend me a hand and give me some solid information here. Please don’t spit out a sportsbook as a reply without explaining why you feel safe or why they are preferred.
Thanks in advance,
