    Lot of negative things on this operation within the past couple weeks, not sure what to think.

    1. Text messages(totally uncalled for and unprofessional)
    2. Ungraded wagers(see sportsbook forum)
    3. Policy changes


    Until we get a clearer picture, stay away.

    This is an advertiser at SBR, I'm sure SBRJOHN is pissed as heck at what is happening surrounding this book.

    JJGOLD, what are your thoughts on this operation at this time????

    They paid me $8000 to Moneybookers within 15 min a few days ago. I'm not that concerned if they send text messages if they can pay that quickly.

                Your cluelessness knows no bounds apparently.

                It's many books policy (bookmaker and pinnacle to name two) to not grade futures wagers until the season is over. Always been like that.

                They've always called people relentlessly.

                Nothing new here.

                          Being in the US this is my anchor book. All you need do is call them or message them and you will never get a call or text or anything else. This place is excellent. Been with them since Cris got rid of us. I can't see any real problems. And if you are a big player that cash back adds up quickly.

                                Terrible post. Bookmaker/CRIS is solid. Maybe you should go down to their operation in San Jose and look at them instead of making inflammatory posts.

                                Just because you disagree with some of their business policies does not mean you should offer advice to people to stay away from them due to the fact it will be misconstrued they are in trouble financially or otherwise.

                                Shame on you.

                                        i'd rather they texted me than call me.

                                        they don't bother me at all anymore though dsi still calls.

                                                    for a us based professional or large player they are indispensable.

                                                    for everyone else perhaps they are useless. but i enjoy books that actually take bets and don't cry about it later.

                                                      I just signed up. Looks pretty good.

                                                      Nice to be playing and I won my first bet (LAA ov4.51st). Dumped in 8 chips prepaid V. . They should never have let me in, haha.
                                                      I like the set-up and there's a lot of betting options, down to Swedish Handball (I'm starting a Thread!!!).

                                                      So what's moneybookers and how does that work?

                                                      Does BM scam people and ban them and stuff?

                                                      Payout fees look kinda high, but at least I can play.
