    Absolute, incompetent service today and it's only getting worse. Love all those foreign accents, though.
    Auto robotic answers and questions ongoing. Now, many Books are using the same betting software, and it's not pretty.

    Apps?
    Where you must use man's fingertips to login and wager? Not good at all unless you have hands and fingers similar to Donald Trump's? I have made many errors on those bitty keyboards.
    Is it because of my manly fingers?

    All I know, is, I am getting wore down mentally and even worn out physically with all the twisted bs one much suffer through to get a simple wager down.

    What smart member has a smoother answer for sports wagering?
    Or, am I a lone exception to all the cyber nerve wracking bs?

                    The iPad pro has a surface area of over 80 sq in. Exactly how fat are your fingers? Or is this just a case where you are too cheap or broke to buy the suitable technology required? Since you said you made the trip to Las Vegas, you would have been stuck betting over the counter if it was 10 years ago. Just do that instead of bothering with all this new technology. Problem solved.

                    The problem I am having is that even $100 bets have to go for approval on some of these apps. And when that happens they are almost always rejected.

                          And, have majority of SBR Books lost their balls? Trying to buy a 1/2 point on half lines--1st and 2nd--on some of the biggest games of the year, is getting to be rare, also.

                          Are the Big Books all headed down hill?

                              You are 100% correct. Are they trying to scare you off buying points?
                              I like the option but, I [we] cannot afford to lose too many at those prices.
                              What has evolved or happened in the gambling world that would cause this rather major change in how Books deal with point buying?

                                      No half point buying is nuts. Charging for cc deposits. "Making" you roll over 1% on all deposits.
                                      What is doing these Books in?

                                      Will Circa even stay afloat?
                                      Books are making it tougher and tougher to get your play? Weird!
                                      Until recently, it was the complete reversal.

                                      The logic just isn't there?

                                      * This idea? They use robot line changers and and less professionals. Why?
                                      For the same reason we must stand in line 3 times longer than we were 5 years ago, and be held waiting for someone to answer a phone.
                                      Logic= Too much business to handle so here come the robots. Cheaper and more honest than humans just buy the oil and that keeps them happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8kuonv3DMk

                                        Any business is free to buy and sell whatever they want. If something isn't a big seller, they aren't going to go out of their way to offer it. In Las Vegas, if one place doesn't offer you a chance to buy a half-point, one of their competitors will, so no big deal.

                                        The charges for credit card deposit makes sense, otherwise I would keep depositing and withdrawing my max credit limit everyday and getting points on it.

                                        There should be no rollover requirements to withdraw. If anyone tries to tell you differently, call gaming commission and let them know they aren't paying you your money.

                                          Hmm, your second paragraph I do not understand?
                                          They can set different[fair] rules when you may withdrawal, but charging just like many banks do, can be a double charge? Yikes.

                                          The last one?
                                          Never heard, or thought, the Gaming Commission had that kind of power? Where is their phone number and where are they located?
                                          Thanks for some interesting info.
                                          Just courious.

                                            I cannot tell if you are a troll or just dumb

                                            -Go to www.google.com
                                            -Type in "NV gaming commission phone number"
                                            -See exactly what their phone number is
                                            You might even be able to skip that first step and just put it into the search bar on your computer or your phone.

                                            -Most credit card give cash back on spending. Deposit $5,000 into a sportsbook with a credit card and V isa or Master card will pay me $50 (or more). They can do this because they charge a credit card fee to whichever business accepts the payment. If a sportsbook is going to accept credit card, they are going to charge a fee on it, to make up for the fee they are being charged. Two years ago there was not a single American regulated sportsbook that accepted credit card, it was cash only.

                                            You have problems with all the new ways sportsbooks are operating (phone apps, accepting credit card, etc), why aren't you just making bets with them in the way they were run years ago? Use cash and make your bets with a ticket writer, just like it has been for 50 years. Let me guess, your next complaint will be about these computer printed tickets, instead of handwritten ones.

                                              -Go to www.google.com
                                              -Type in "NV gaming commission phone number"
                                              -See exactly what their phone number is
                                              You might even be able to skip that first step and just put it into the search bar on your computer or your phone.

                                              -Most credit card give cash back on spending. Deposit $5,000 into a sportsbook with a credit card and V isa or Master card will pay me $50 (or more). They can do this because they charge a credit card fee to whichever business accepts the payment. If a sportsbook is going to accept credit card, they are going to charge a fee on it, to make up for the fee they are being charged. Two years ago there was not a single American regulated sportsbook that accepted credit card, it was cash only.

                                              You have problems with all the new ways sportsbooks are operating (phone apps, accepting credit card, etc), why aren't you just making bets with them in the way they were run years ago? Use cash and make your bets with a ticket writer, just like it has been for 50 years. Let me guess, your next complaint will be about these computer printed tickets, instead of handwritten ones.
                                              Uh 1.
                                              I am just in Nevada for the Final Four, and live hundreds of miles away.
                                              Uh 2. You sound and write like a complete know it all jerk?

                                                    Sounds like a good idea. Me, I don't like those ones you see at Walmart and places where you can you them. But, I need to at least take a look at the ones you sent in the ad.
                                                    Thanks for the idea.

                                                      But, Carolina suggested a larger keyboard with larger digits that come with certain types you can buy. I will try that first and maybe you should too, Hawkeye?
