Money order no question!

Cashiers check from a bank no question. A money order is a pen written bank check. and a check? , no way

[topgame85]

Cashiers checks can take a while to clear and still bounce, money orders are as good as cash

never had a issue with sportsbook dot com or Oddsmakers dot com cashiers checks bouncing and B of A always credited the full amount as soon as i deposited it. I use Carib and 5 dimes now and everything is money gram or electronic now, which i believe is the best.

Neither..moneygram or debit card payout is my preference

Were the cashier checks written on American Banks? Good to know that B of A credited full amount as soon as you deposited because I use B of A.

Agree but so many books don't offer debit card.

Oddsmakers checks were from a Canadian bank and the sportsbook checks were from a company called zip payments and it was a cashiers check( non bank if my memory serves me right). And yes bank of america credited it initially. One time i got 2 2500 dolalr checks from sportsbook and cashed like 2,000 of one of them and they gave me cash without asking questions. So you should have no problem if you deposit them in branch.

For the sake of this thread let's try to stay with money order and check and the differences as to ease of actually getting dollars in hand when dealing with books.

I usually use B of A Atm for deposits. You think it is slower or would cause problems? I have never had holds even though I use the ATM.

Well bank of America is a little different than your smaller bank. Lets say your account balance is $1.00, and you then make a $2500 atm check deposit via the atm. Your account will show a pending balance of $2501 but you would only be able to pull $101 out of the atm in cash for 2-3 business days til the check clears. But you could run to wall mart and make a 500 dollar purchase on your debit card if you wanted to cause the amount is in the account. There is a hold but its only a hold on cash not purchases. Other banks have their policy's

I've only been using them for maybe 6 months or so.I did not know that about hold only being on cash, good info UTEOT.
