    BetOnline: The worst offshore experience of my life

    I could write a book. Just let me say....I'm a guy who has wagered offshore for close to 13 years, if you're thinking about playing here...forget it.

    People join these crap books because they want a 5 dollar bonus

    So their deposit is held random unless you meet a 500x rollover, and then even if you do meet the rollover, you will be presented with limited options and excuses to get your money out

    If you are US, there are only 3 books you should use: 5Dimes, Heritage, BookMaker

    Stop making these posts

    Stop being a bonus junkie. If you are a good capper you do not need the bonus

    Walters isn't in Vegas begging for 50 dollar bonuses

    We know BO sucks, we know Bovada sucks, we know 1vice sucks, we know America's Bookie sucks, we know PablosSportzBewk sucks

    Don't make assumptions, it makes you look stupid. I've forgotten 10 times more than you'll ever know about this industry. I've been booted from Heritage and my limits with 5Dimes and BM are about what a 1/2 a tank of gas costs. If you're a US player, with a clue, and you don't live in Vegas....your options are very limited and getting more limited all the time. You understand the risk vs reward issue.

    You are beyond clueless. Me? I've got a clue and have for years when it comes to wagering.....see I'm not offered bonuses by most books, any idea why? And most shops won't let me wager over $50....any idea why?

    I've been at BOL for years now, and pound for pound, it's one of the best books I've dealt with out of the dozen or so I've tried.

    So it goes both ways.

    This. I've never accepted one cent of bonus offers in my entire gambling career. It's the definition of -EV.

    Why start this thread and be so cryptic?

    Because you obviously have an agenda.

    Bonus babies get what they pay for. That's all I'm going to say.

    I'm not saying this particular person is angry because he didn't get his free handout, but it's a slippery slope when you're bouncing around from book to book, desperately trying to land another free lunch.

    I have no idea about their bonuses, though I see they have quite a few options there.

    A ton of live betting, and I'm batting 1.000 in payouts in less than 48 hours after my request.

    Not defending them on an overall basis, but you should recognize that you deposited on the first Sunday of NFL week 1.

    I would recommend depositing earlier on in the week to avoid these kind of delays.

    if you got that much clue and you're getting booted from books for having so much clue. why not move to vegas with that clue instead of posting on sbr with your ghost account? get a clue pal!!!
