    If you live in the U.S., you should be careful with online books.

    pinnacle, betfair, bet365 are solid as a rock with money moving like lightning when combined with monybookers (i know betdaq is just as good as betfair...with half the commissions on wins as pinny, at least most of the time...but pinny has brilliant zero-edge baccarat and roulette, so i tend not to stray)...i also have 5dimes (the only one that's an option in "the land of the free")...the only one of the us-friendles that works nicely with moneybookers (the REAL linchpin the the whoe sports-betting-as-a-business system...remember, TIME (aka convenience) IS MONEY)

Processors have been seized before, Bodog had long payment delays when they lost money to the feds but everyone got paid.

    Betjam, Greek, Bmaker, DSI, 5Slimes, Betmaker, and I'm about to deposit with BetIslands. Thinking of hitting Jazz for the $500 BJ bonus, not worried about getting paid but about how long it might take. I'm waiting on a check from Hollywood, if they pay I'll probably take them up on the reup bonus offer. Can't think of any others but you get the idea, I feel safe with most of them.
    well put - and also hollywood payouts are pretty fast. last 1 still within 7-10 biz days

    at end of second line should be "...but BETFAIR has brilliant zero-edge baccarat and roulette..."

    Pinny does have something virtually zero-edge tho' too...pontoon with true house-edge at 0.32, combined with their 0.3% auto-rebate feature...but pontoon is too bumpy a ride for me (ie. hi variance cuz of all the doubling involved...)

    Thanks Hareeba...that's exactly the type of useful information that make my time "spent" reading sbr posts actually time "invested"...I am looking to become an SBR-pro (to one day have points like you, lol)...but was worried about "Moneybookability"....of the two, gun to the head/all things considered, which of the two (Greek or BetJam) would you keep?

    BetJam is reputedly more for 'recreational' players. I haven't used them a lot but suspect they generally have lower limits than Greek but probably have more 'extras' such as bonuses. I do know that their overnight lines have pretty low limits. I could be wrong but also think Greek may offer more sports than BetJam.

    This has been discussed numerous times already. The banners rotate, there are more books than spots, so not everyone sees the same group at any given time. Bookmaker is definitely still in the rotation (I'm looking at it right now).

    they most certainly are NOT all in the same boat

    those not serving the US market aren't in any danger of being shut down, assets seized and management imprisoned by Uncle Sam

    If you are in the US, no book is safe. But then again, you are gambling, nothing is safe.

    to go pro, think I'll put Matchbook on my windshield...followed by Greek, then Betjam...(name of the group to peg this and many other similarlythemed threads should be "land of the free??!" (at least if you live in Atlanta you can claim to be in the "home of the braves")...

    They didn't HAVE to, they CHOSE to. Regardless of what you think of this book, should they not be commended for taking preemptive measures?

    Bookmaker waited until their .com domain was seized to switch, and even though they experienced very little disruption of service outside of some processor issues, surely this wasn't any better than a book like SB or Bodog opting to change URL's in advance.

    Good book, but they really need to work on payout methods, fees, and time frames.
