    Carib Sports
    Worst book out there. Horrible customer service, horrible lines, horrible representation on the board, and a shame sucking johnsons has to promote his garbage while noone else does.

    Tell your friends.. DO NOT play there. Plenty of fine operations out there.

    never had any problems with them , their customer service responded very fast and their answers had been helpful as well,
    the only thing that was very annoying is their sticky signup bonus,but there are lots of books out there who simply can't compete with Carib.

      Is that the site that looks like it's still stuck in the 70's? If so, they need a new web designer

        Well the memo system was something i liked, no need to write emails...and you could be sure they answer within 10mins.
        Of course there are much better bookies out there, but Carib kinda deserves a B.

          I have had nothing but great experiences with Carib. Never had a withdrawal take more than 2 days, and a few times within hours with MoneyGram. Customer Service is great, always get a response to my questions within minutes.

          I love the way you can do "IF Bets" on games in progress! No one else I know of does that. This is huge!

          BTW Dummy....what did Carib ever do to you?

            99% of the people here do not have 5+ books and therefore have no use at all for Carib. Why do you think suckingjohnsons has to promote his bs in all the threads?

                Did you not read the OP or what?


                Coming from a guy that steals SBR points, I highly question all of your claims.

                    Funny how fast BetPhx has risen to a rock solid out here, despite the website being shit etc etc...but they will fall just as fast prolly.

                      Now, rant away.

                        Thats only my point.. no sense in depositing with Carib when better SBR sponsored books are out there.

                          I read your OP and disagreed with it 100%.

                          I have used Carib, Bookmaker, BetPhoenix, and BODOG. Carib is by far the best to work with.

                          Dummy are you a former disgruntled employee of Carib? Or did Johnson screw your boyfriend?

                              So you result to personal attacks because I make you look like a fool for stealing points and therefore have no credibility?

                                    Attacking a sports book that happens to be a sponsor here, with no apparent reason, is credible?

                                    You are angry with Johnson for some reason, and I happen to think it is sexual.

                                        Horrible customer service? My "Memos" are always answered nearly instantaneously. Never had any problems moving money around.

                                        Horrible lines? Id say Carib has off market numbers more often than any other C or Higher book that doesn't deal 2 lines.

                                        Sure their software isn't great and the site hasn't changed in 10 years. But I think it's still a solid out.

                                              Never had a problem. They are good for major sports like NBA, NFL, NCAA & NHL for recreational usage.

                                                I love Carib, but for reasons different than most. I love their contests, not necessarily their lines. Last Man Standing, Carib Challenge, squares, Pick 10, and SOS NFL challenge. Haven't withdrawn yet, but I don't anticipate any problems when or if I do. I detect sour grapes here PDummy.

                                                    I will answer my on question, they do. Also in about 3 days fedex. Poker dummy is just that. Carib is a top 5 book for US players, no doubt. As you can see a lot more positive post than negative.

                                                            I went with Carib for the first time this year and liked them a lot. I find that they have the best line on a lot of different sides. I like the contests and squares. I find the customer service to be outstanding using the memo option. And while the betting interface may be archaic, it hasn't ever been down when I needed it and is easy to navigate, so who really gives a chit?

                                                            poker_dummy, examples of Carib ineptitude would go much farther than making this same post every couple of weeks. Do you have anything specific for us?

                                                              Sour grapes Donny. He has no ax to grind against Carib. His ax is squarely grinding against yours truly, Swinging Johnson. Just to catch everyone up to date, every Tuesday during the NFL regular season, I gave away 5 free entries into the Weekly NFL contest at Carib. It's only $20 per entry but it's a nice way to get people familiar with the contest. Tuesday mornings I would post here at SBR that my podcast was up at Carib and if you answer a simple (and I mean very simple) sports trivia question, you would get a free entry. PokerDummy, never one to miss a free buffet, open bar or chance to win 5 grand, participated on a number of occassions and was angry that he needed to deposit $20 even though it would get reimbursed immediately. He argued that it was a no strings attached contest and he contended that depositing $20 (if your account had less than $20) wasn't a string, it was a steel beam. Sammy was involved as well, and both were entering each and every week without any money in their accounts. I sarcastically suggested they should at least patronize the book instead of bitching about a free entry (Sammy wasn't bitching by the way). In the interest of full disclosure, Carib did rescind the mandatory deposit requirement (even though players would get the deposit immediately credited to their account). In all honesty, I really didn't care what he said, it was how he said it. Almost as though he was outraged that they would have the audacity to require a deposit that would of course be reimbursed. Sammy was very cool but Poker Dummy had this air of entitlement about the contest. Because of ME, he is crusading against Carib in order that all his negative comments about them will move them toward admonsihing, suspending, or terminating me as a podcaster and writer on their site.

                                                              That's it in a nutshell. He is being disingenuous about his opinion of Carib. He is using that as the crux of his argument to compromise me. Funny, he didn't have a bad word to say about Carib when he was entering the contests to win a free shot at 5K. My crime...I offended a Dummy. Guilty as charged your honor.
