So let's get this straight once for all- I know Hollywood has the same lines exactly as these Jazette books but is it a Jazette book or not? Please answer, SBR!

I noticed on their site that they are part of the sportsbook.com family and sportsbook.com is a jazette company so I would say yes. So far , jazette has been good.

Are they still a reduced vig book?

Did they pay you by Neteller or Fedex check? Since transfer to sportsbook.com family they only paid me by Fedex even I requested Neteller, really pissed me off.

Hollywood has reduced juice Fridays and the occasional no juice games (like on NCAAF Saturdays there has been a lower limit no-juice game each week) but otherwise they are a full-juice shop.

Thanks for posting ngit. I like this book a lot. I find a lot of good opinionated lines there and decent limits.

As I was saying to you (I think it was you) in a PM, I fairly recently had a ~20K Neteller payout from Hollywood with no problem. Earlier, right when this book was taken over by Sportingbet, I had a payout of about the same size that was handled without incident. It wasn't particularly fast; I think it was 2 days; but that was what they said it would be.

I have heard reports of people requesting Neteller payouts and instead getting cheques via Fedex. I don't know why that would happen. As I say, no problem for me.

[and now I see wrongturn's post. You're not the only one wrongturn. I don't know what's going on with that. Because I had read such reports, when I requested my payouts I phoned them up and said it would be totally unacceptable if they sent my payout by cheque. They basically said, "If you deposited by Neteller, that's where your payout will go." I don't know if my phoning them made a difference or maybe you have used other deposit methods. I don't know.]

I've heard about people being sent checks, but I got it through Neteller (after despositing with them) without incident. Took either 24 our 48 hours- either of which would be pretty standard.

"I noticed on their site that they are part of the sportsbook.com family and sportsbook.com is a jazette company so I would say yes. So far , jazette has been good."

Hey thanks Punchmaster. I found it....:

"HollywoodSportsbook is part of the Sportsbook.com family of sites, where millions of adult Americans bet on sports, play poker and enjoy blackjack and other casino games online in a regulated and licensed jurisdiction.

Twice named the "Best US Sports Book" by the industry's top magazine (2005, 2006), eGaming Review, Sportsbook.com and it's associated sites have been leading the online gaming industry since 1996.

Dwarfing its nearest competitors in the US, the Sportsbook.com network......"

Wonder why Hollywood then isn't listed under that link in a previous thread of all the Jazette books. There were 18 books so this just shows that was not a comprehensive list.

That sucks, I wanted an independent book with the same Jazette lines EVEN THOUGH they say they don't mind how many books you sign up with and they say you're free to bet however you want at all of them!

New Guy (if I knew i was gonna be hanging around I wouldn't have such a lame name!)

That's not true at all. Sportsbook.com closed my PlayersOnly account. They also warned me not to double pop lines with BetUSA or they would close that account also.

The only way to circumvent the limits safely is to have one Jazette book and one WG book.

NG, a lot of complains against this family books are like this: "I was told it is ok to sign up on multiple books, but they now take my bonus away and accuse me of bonus abuse. etc.". That is one of the reason they have low ratings.

Good to hear that things are going well there....
