I need your advice in helping me find my new book.......

[flyingillini]

I will keep this short and simple. Please I really am counting on this forum to help me out. I will give you a little bit of background information. I used betonsports.com for 3 years on a daily basis and I was very pleased with their customer service towards me and the payouts were always hassle free and always I received my payouts when I was told I would receive them. I stopped betting on-line and found a local guy where I live and started to use him for the past 2 years and he recently passed away. So I just now found out that betonsports.com is no longer in business. I don't frequent betting sites or forums and I had taken my money out from my betonsports account a long time ago and I had no clue they were shut down. So this is where I need your help please..... I have had friends over the years tell me HORROR stories on trying to receive their payouts from different sites and other problems with anything from tricky bonuses to winning bets taken off etc etc.. All I know is I need to find the best or at least who are the TOP 3-5 sites out there that I can count on that they are legit and a very big company and care about their players and value their business. The only thing I need is to make sure the book lets you buy points.... Please give me the website address and names of the books you could suggest..

Thank you in advance!!!

the main thing is i need to be able to reach by phone and must be able to buy points and no BS when it comes to payouts.. and i could care less about the bonus i will reject them... please give me your thoughts.....

Take a long, hard look at any of the A+ books. You'll have less hassles dealing with them.

Pinnacle is the creme' a la creme. But, it is not easy to bet by telephone. Point buying (and selling) they have the most options, and payouts less than 10k are typically in under 5 minutes (5-6 figure payouts will sometimes take several hours).

If telephone service is a must, take a look at Olympic and Cris. Both allow point buying, although Olympic is slightly easier on payouts. Look at their terms for payouts and all before depositing.

good luck.

Pinnacle...WSEX...The Greek.

BwtOnSports was one of the worst sportsbooks off-shore. Winners had their money stolen routinely. Losers were paid hassle free.

well i dont know if your implying that i lost money their but i won a total of 4,104.11 all together pure profit. not looking for trouble all i need is info to get me going to a new good solid book. like i said i dont frequent sites but i found this forum and i never had a bad experience from them but all i hear about is horror stories from a lot now.. thanks again for your help

Pinnacle, Greek, WSEX, Cascade. You're much better off playing with several books than with just one.

Definitely not Pinnacle since you say you are a phone bettor. The few people who do play by phone there have to pay higher juice. (Then again, since you say you don’t care about bonuses, I suppose you wouldn’t care about what juice you’re paying either. Wish I was rich enough to be able to ignore such things.) They don’t even want anyone calling them for customer service purposes.

It also depends in part on what stakes you’re playing, and whether you’ll be betting “steam.” If you’re playing thousands of dollars a game, then some of the ones that have been mentioned like Greek, CRIS, and WSEX are worth considering. If you’re a smaller player, Bodog is one to consider. The VIP books are also graded highly by this site for recreational players, though I’m not so enamored with them.

I doubt you’d have any problems with payouts from any of those. Certainly any of them would be an enormous step up from BetOnSports.

In no particular order:


WSEX
CRIS
Greek
Pinnacle
