Nevermind, I think they had fixed the problem.

I'm in!

Working fine for me. Using IE6.

You should consider it a blessing, freebie.

**Billie** · 11-13-05, 05:51 PM

it's down for me. this book is rated a+ and it has given me nothing, but problems.

VIP is loading a little slow for me, but the site is working.

BigDan,

It has been very slow during crunch time this week. It takes a good 60 seconds to load up college football wagering.

**Shawn01** · 11-13-05, 07:49 PM

It's just slow. I had to wait for it to load on every page but it's working.

not that i can recall pags, please refresh my memory

apparently they don't give bonuses to people from Nevada...I proceed to sign up with them...they credit me with a bonus (which they later take out without me knowing)...I also refer them two new customers and don't get referral bonuses for either person...I then call them up and they are totally rude to me...

Well I wont be signing up with VIP anytime soon, after hearing that.

I'm suprised you Nevada boys even play offshore.

I have one account, Pinnacle. Thought about signing up with a few of the other top tier books to have more opitions.

Its just nice to have the money in my hand, not sitting in the book. Thats why I have only one OS account up to now.

I think Im going to take all my pucks action OS, because the books I play here are 20cent lines. And that has cost me since the start of the NHL.

**bigboydan** · 11-14-05, 02:53 AM

that 20 cent pucks lines will kill you every time, if your winning at a perty nice clip. my locals use a 10 cent pucks line, so it does suprise me that vegas uses a 20 cent line for that sport.

**Illusion** · 11-14-05, 03:08 AM

Taking your pucks action offshore would be a very wise move looker. 20 puck lines are a joke.

onlooker,

I am not a basher by any means, but my experience with VIP was totally disheartening...I understand that rules are rules, but so is communication...they should have at least emailed me that my bonus was being deducted and informed me that because I'm from Nevada I wouldn't be eligible for any future bonuses, including referral bonuses...I think it's a wise move not to sign up with them...I know they are rated highly, but I was not impressed with them at all, especially their customer service department...the worst part about it is they made no concessions, no admission that they could have handled things differently...that's what really got me pissed...

I'm 10 minutes from about 8 different casinos, but here's why I play online:

*initial deposit and re-load bonuses
*reduced juice
*convenience (saving money on gas, saving time, not having to deal with degenerate workers at sportsbooks, lines move and I'm right here in my chair instead of running from book to book)
*I hate smoke, I really hate smoke
*people don't see me in books, I teach kids baseball for a living and it's not great to be seen in sportsbooks all of the time if you know what I'm saying
*fast payouts
*no beting tickets to lose

I can honestly say that SBR has made my online experience completely positive with all of the information they provide...this is a passion/ hobby of mine and I really thank you guys...

did I mention I don't like VIP sports?...lol...
