            Pinnacle is the only A+ book IMO.

            This kind of rating second-guessing comes up all the time and in my experience, the most common books mentioned as undeserving of A+ are VIP and Bet365. WWTS and Bodog tend to be next on the list for second-guessing.

            Which one you are thinking of BL, I have no idea but I'll lob a guess out there. I'm not a big mind-reader but something in my subconscious is telling me VIP so that's what I'll say.

            What do I win if I'm right?

              Agree w/ Mudcat here.

              Pinnacle should be rated the only A++ bookmaker on the planet.

              Greek
              Wsex
              Betjamaica

                  My approach to books is to find out what corner of the market they excel at. By combining their specialties I can create a personal 'superbook'. Books like VIP, WWTS, and Bodog from that perspective are a waste of time, but that doesn't mean they're not good at what they offer. Their target audience is the general public, which is not the same audience that frequents this forum. Why spend negative energy on a book that no longer fits your needs? Most likely, the book didn't change. You did. And, remaining in the realm of probability, that could be a good thing.

                    How can BetJamaica be an A+ book , when they hold your funds for 30 business days when you use a credit card to fund your account. That same card has been used at the greek for many years without a problem. They know this , but they still say NO.

                    That is not how an A+ book should operate. Pinnacle and others ask you to fill out and sign an authorization. After that , you are able to withdraw all you like.

                    Definetly not A+.

                      Just how I see them:

                      Bet365 A+ (limits players very strictly)
                      BetCris A+ (altogether the A rating is correct)
                      BetFair A+ (correct)
                      BetJamaica A+ (I prefer TheGreek)
                      Bodog A+ (Has dual lines and only USD accounts)
                      Ladbrokes A+ (limits but better than Bet365)
                      Pinnacle Sports A+ (of course A+)
                      The Greek A+ (A+ is correct in my opinion)
                      VIP Sports A+ (limits, never an A+ book)
                      WSEX A+ (only accounts in USD, but apart from that good)
                      WWTS A+ (has dual lines, no A+ book)

                        Bet365 is a joke. C rated in my book.

                            So, bigloser, what's the answer? I'm meant to be going out tonight but I need to know the answer or it'll ruin my evening.

                              Nice analysis kiwi. Have to admit I agree with everything you post bar “The Greek”

                              Oh, and in answer to bigloser’s question; I’d plumb for Bet $3.65

                                    Pinny is a great gambler's book. They are (should) on everyone's must have list because of the juice. I'd list these books with Pinny as for as being 'solid':

                                          VIP is the one I believe clearly stands out as bad.
                                          Others that I consider worse than the rest
                                          Bet365 has low limits and poor CS but I dont recall it refusing bonuses after agreeing in writing that they would be paid.
                                          CRIS is the other book that mainly due to the volume of complaints it seems to generate. I have not had problems myself.
