    Beware of BETUS
    I am apparrently magnetically attracted to bad sports books. I signed up for Scott Farrell's picks and I noticed when I went to place me bet that the money lines had all been jacked by 10. I placed a bet on the NY Mets and the money line should have been -135. I logged into the site and the line jumped to -145. I logged out again and the line was back at -135.

    I started to check the other lines and realized that all of them were jumping. I called the book up to confront them with this and they told me that the lines hadn't adjusted in the main frame.

    I discovered this nasty trick because I came across an angry customer that purchased a system from "John Morrison". The guy couldn't get his money back after getting screwed by these yahoos so he posted "Morrison's" system online for free. (it is a chasing system; 3 levels deep. The guy claims to be a PHD in statistics. Con-artist all the way) He explained how BetUs did this. I figured I would be okay because I never purchased that system, so I would build my money up a bit and look for a different book. Apparently Scott Farrell is affiliated with these guys too.

    I have to wait for my bets to clear tonight, and then I am pulling my money out. I wonder if I'll even be able to get it. If these guys are willing to jack the lines I wouldn't put anything past them. I got out of Sportsbook because I heard that people who got over $20,000 couldn't get their money. Looks like I jumped from the pot into the frying pan.

    Please spread the word. Making money in sports betting is difficult enough without these wankers tilting the odds even further against you.

      BetUs cancelled a wager of mine because I got a good number. It was not a mistake either as it was bet at the going rate at several other books. They waited about a week too, after moving the line 4 or 5 more times and I had already scalped at another book and was fuked.

      They blow a$$. Stay away.

        You should have a few books anyways.

        Just use the one that has the best price on the game you want to play.

        If you are playing baseball, that book would be... Matchbook.

          I am slowly learning this. My lines were fine until I signed up for Farrell's site. Now all the lines jump by 10 when I log in. I bet on the Mets money line last night (still haven't checked the score yet) The line was -135. As soon as I logged in it went to -145. At first I thought the odds had jumped which is a good indication that it is a good bet, but quickly realized that ALL of my lines were jumping by 10: moneylines, run lines, I didn't check the over/unders, but I am sure they moved too. I am livid!!!!

          I had come across a guy explaining that these guys do this if you buy "John Morrisons" system (I think it is betlikeachamp.com, or something to that affect) I was upset because he wass affiilated with my book. Figured I would be okay though because I never bought this yahoo's system. Apparently they do the same thing if yu sign up with Scott Farrell. Not sure exactly how they are tracking it, because I had my account with BETUS before I signed up for Farrell. It can't be Farrell getting a normal affilite kickback, I am thinking that it is the other way around. This is all conjecture. The bottom line is that you can sign up with BETUS and your lines are fine until you sign up with Farrell. All you have to do is logout and the lines drop back to normal. Bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            Can't afford several books right now but after this debacle I'll seriously consider it. My season has just taken a huge hit without me even losing!!! I have to wait to get that money back. Once I get the money back it takes 15 days to clear the bank, and then I can open a new account. I was trying a new system and was on a hot streak and than this happens.

                    Before I do that I had better see if the other side is displaced by 10 as well. $h%theads!!!!!
