    I really dislike when books like betcris have poor password security
    I think its a major security flaw when you can't change your password online and have to call a clerk do it. Even in online chat they want your password and i was asking a question that was not specific to my account and was just a generic question about the site. The clerk in online chat refuse to help me and said no help could be given unless I provided acc# and password. I said thanks but I would rather it go unanswered than. I would never keep much money in a book that has security like this. I know there are probably countless people that can access my password on all sites but i figure you might as well do what you can to reduce the risk. I know they have to verify who i am but i feel its a must to give the customer the ability to change it online. Reminds me of a pokerroom i used to use, i once called them to get my password and they only asked my address and phone number than gave it to me over the phone.

    I have to agree here scotty...frustrating that betjamaica and cascade are the same way...pinny, matchbook, mansion and bodog (my embarrasing book) let you do it online...very seamless...

      All books should let you change your password online. Why on earth this is not built into their software is beyond me

      I always feel 'uneasy' when I have to give my password to a clerk in online chat .

        yeah another "great" thing at Cris, every Joe there knows my password prolly. I would never keep balances of 10k+ there like i do with Pinny or Cascade...some day i might find out Joe played BJ and lost quite a bit of my balance.

            A book I play at doesn't allow numbers in their passwords. That's kind of scary.

              that really is rickysteve, severly limits the number of variations of a password...you know there are computer geeks out there generating ID's and passwords from some software program...

                I signed up with Beverly Hills Bookie years ago, before they were bought out by MVP Sportsbook, and after I signed up, they sent me an email from a Hotmail account asking me to submit a password!

                    That book was truly bizarre. I decided I'd just deposit a few hundred and check it out, and I went something like 12-3 on my first week of bets, mostly $100 and $200 bets with a couple $500 ones, netting a total profit of perhaps $2000 or $2500. They then disabled my ability to bet overnight lines and prevented me from betting football until Thursday nights! I guess they thought anyone who could hit 75% over 15 picks is some sort of wiseguy.
