diamond sportsbook

[koskhor1]

I want to get some feed back from those who have been playing with this book. I want to compare this book with bookmaker (both r powered by cris). I notice that they have 10 cent on baseball(advantage over bookmaker). can someone who has been expriencing with this book give some info as far as their limits and customer service. thanks

Both of them have really bad withdrawal and transfer fees which could be construed as gouging at the current moment.

The only real reason to have an account at Bookmaker would be if you wanted to bet early football lines at higher limits.

Big Bollocks,
Good Points...however you leave a couple of glaring omissions out of your argument as to why one should book with these guys...First and foremost, they pay superfast (usually 24-48 hrs) and your check via FED EX is at your doorstep within 5 business days unlike other offshore books who are becoming notorious for super, slow pay and making their customers wait weeks, sometimes months for withdrawal winnings and payouts..(see the bodog and sportsbook.com threads for reference)...Secondly, and just as important, they have much higher wager limits online than all the other offshore books...simply put, they have lots of coin to play with and they are very financially sound....Yes, the fees are a little bit ridiculous, but what's an extra $45-60 for a $10,000 bank draft/cashier's check that gets to your house within a week from the time you request a withdrawal?!...So far, I haven't had any problems with either of them...Just my humbled opinion.

Diamond sportsbooks are liars and thieves. They are holding $50 of mine hostage, they lied about the services offered, and their constomer service sucks. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SPORTSBOOK.
I lost money and I haven't even placed a bet yet.

THEY ARE CROOKS.

Please explain about the problem you had trying to bet the horses. Most of my betting is in horses and I was considering using them sometime in the future.

it was simple i was making horse wagers they would not go through, i emailed no response..then i calledand was told,the horse wagering is only available for some accts(my wagers were fairly small)i said what,they said its a new rule, iwas pissed i called back,got the same story..was then handed over to a manager who told me no rule existed and he would get to the bottom of it ,said he would call me back,never did i gave up..keep in mind this was strictly a customer service issue

Thanks for the info.

I guess if I ever decide to bet there I need to make it clear I bet only horses and maybe try a few small bets to test.
