Bet Jamaica?

[maddog1987]

I have only used pinny so if some of you would venture an opinion on Bet Jamaica, I would appreciate it. I contacted them a few days ago and they are still opening accounts for US players. The juice is rotten next to pinny but everything else there seems to be just fine. Anything I should be concerned with -- other than the current state of gambling with off-shore books?

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum

I really don't think it's fair comparing every other book to Pinnacle IMO. If you like the lower vig then might I suggest cascade, with there nickel lines.

Your not going to have any issues with BetJM in regards to payouts. However, you might want to deposit with them via a cashiers check/international money order though to avoid any problems given the current situation with the online processors to U.S. customers right now.

Thanks BigBoy... I would probably be depositing via FedEx (although I am just a bit confused there... they say they accept FedEx cashier's checks, is that a cashiers check I purchase from FedEx or do they mean using FedEx to send the cashiers check I obtain at my bank?).

I will check out Cascade and would appreciate any other comments.

[bigboydan]

Get the cashiers check from the bank pr go to the post office and get an internation money order. Then send it to BetJM via the Fedex overnight service.

Please note ** Call BetJM first in order to make sure who you need to make the check out too before you send it to them.

BJ is a great book and a fast payer plus has early overnights

Lets not forget they use dimelines for bases too coach

[Mudcat]

I don't know if this would apply to you but there is a possible downside to playing at BetJam. If you're a big money advantage player, you could find yourself being severely restricted. You'll start finding a long delay when you go to confirm your bets and, more often than not, they will reject your bet and post a new, worse line.

It has happened to quite a few people.

I had the same experience as Mudcat as BJ practically pushed me to The Greek. So those of you that want the MLB dime lines at BJ, don't win so much!

[bigboydan]

Make no bones about it LT. They are a recreational book, and will cut your limits.

I have an account with both BetJamaica and TheGreek, I think the greek is quicker about getting lines up for the following day. Bet Jamaica has a lower mininum bet so I believe that they cater to the players that just enjoy it for recreational purposes. I have had a very good experience with the greek with getting withdrawals from them for having football winnings in the past. I haven't had a withdrawal yet from Bet Jamaica but I think that they will be just as good as the greek.

solid, solid book....it's great for recreational bettors. Your money is definitely safe there. Customer Service is top notch as well.

[maddog1987]

Thanks for all of your replies -- all of your input has been very helpful. I am what you would call a recreational bettor, so it does appear that BJ would be a good fit for me. Maybe I should also check out Greek but for my type of wagering I think I have already found the right book.
