Top Sportsbooks safe? (Over $100,000 in each account)

[betplom]

i wonder how long it'd take to rollover 100k at $10 a pop

I thought personality math was your strong suit.

I know if i was keeping $100k in a sportsbook account it sure as fukk wouldn't be with any offshore operation (cris|pinnacle|greek included) it would be with one of the larger uk or australian bookmakers like ladbrokes, will hill, centrebet etc.

What type of protection/response would you expect from the government of costa rica, or jamaica if something happened and the book couldn't/wouldn't pay?

Simply stating that i trust the uk and australian regulators and don't trust any part of the jamaican or costa rican government.

amen!

pinnacle is in curacao by the way

lots of people have 100k+ there.

thanks for all the posts, but I didn t want to take any of this in a negative manner. I am not using credit for one because i live in Japan, we can t use credit cards to deposit. all of this is was done by bank transfers via neteller.

Curacao is part of the Netherland Antilles by the way.

Ladbrokes has more accounts with $100K+ balances than Pinnacle - and those with large balances at Ladbrokes can easily visit a Ladbrokes location to pick up their money.

I know I'd feel safer with my money in Ladbrokes than Pinnacle - where they only communicate with clients via email.

I recommend keeping NO MORE than 50k in any one book whether there A+ or not. Amazing what a government (especially foreign) could do on a wim

About a year ago I offered to deposit 5k to DSI with a 100 times rollover if they offered me a 100 percent bonus- they turned me down

Unreal that nobody has Heritage on this list. Heritage is right up there at the top

As a citizen of a EU nation I trust the British government far more than the US government. The American government is much more likely to act on a "whim" than the Europeans.

Illini, Ladbrokes dwarfs Heritage multiple times over in terms of volume and worth.

Heritage may be a fine book but they are small potatoes compared to any of the Big 3 UK books - Coral, Ladbrokes and Will Hill.

Hello. I had a few questions. I understand that matchbook.com is becoming popular, but are they financially stable?? I understand wsex.com has been going down a bit recently.

I would be greatful if anyone has any advice as to which top 5 books they would recommend. I usually keep up to $100,000 in a sportbook so anyone knows which books are safe for this I would be greatful. thanks again

Nobody

I was meaning as far as keeping a high balance with them. They are safe as can be.

if these british books are so great , then why do you repeatedly here people talk about limits being cut to very low levels(bet 3.65 for example) many europeans prefer pinnacle because they know there money is safe, they can play large amounts and they can get paid, and if they win they can keep playing,
Is Ladbrokes any different than 365 , personally , i don't know , but i would still say pinnacle and greek are the best

[thespeculator]

PLOM , in what order would you rank the british books

[Dank_Fire]

Matchbook
Pinnacle
The Greek
5 Dimes
Bet Phoenix

All solid for a large deposit

[durito]

pinnacle has offices in the uk and bank accounts there

[raydog]

it doesnt matter what A book he deposits 100k in. if he normally bets 15-19k a bet, his account will be empty in no time.
