    Guess BookMaker Hangs a lot of 3's and 7's??
    deposited today for the first time to play there because i got an promo in the mail and saw how nice they have made the site for the iphone..

    figured i would use them while i am on the move sometimes and it would be a breeze..


    no point buying on key numbers guys.. in case you were thinking of playing there.. figured you might want to know this

      Bookmaker allows point buying on sides and totals..

      however if the line is a -3 or +3 .. or a -7 or +7 you are not allowed to buy points.. these are known as the "key numbers" many view 10 as a key number as well..

      so for instance today if i were to play the dolphins -3.. there is no way to purchase a dolphins -2.5 from them.. unless they move the line on themselves.. same thing for the 7 .. understand now?

      most good and big books allow this.. and i do it all the time.. as i find it is needed to increase chances of winning..

      so i am saying that bookmaker must hang 3's and 7's on purpose in order to create more pushes in their book and cover their asses.. like if another book had 3.5 .. bookmaker would be hard pressed to sell that same number in my humble opinion

            BookMaker is ahead of Matchbook but you tell me which is better. Dont take SBR ratings as the final word. Aslong as they get that check every month they will remain on the top tier list.

            $200 b2b transfers.
            HEAVY juice on Baseball and other sports.
            Soccer is shit even though they have everything at TERRIBLE odds.
            Will charge you on a payout depending what method (they say you get a free one) but ofcourse they will MAKE YOU ask other wise charge you if you arent aware.
            There are better books out there, and in my opinion, they are some shit.

                  That's why BookMaker has to sell it's clients info to mailing lists, has to cold call it's clients for deposits, and stole MILLIONS from small time affiliates and webmasters with next to impossible rules (which they changed without notice.)

                  Doesn't sound like they are is top notch as they are perceived to be

                    I have never experienced that from them

                    From my experiences with Bookmaker and DSI they are A+ material

                      BookMaker and DSI are both around a B/B- book imo. I remember I deposited $50 into BM just to test it out. Terrible idea. Fools called the shit outta me "We wanted to see if we could take you for some action today sir" Im like WTF is wrong with you??? You call me after I deposit $50 imagine how many times they would call a bigger player. I also signed up for the free DSI cash that was provided at the SBR store, again terrible idea. I pick up the phone thinking its BM and ofcourse its their younger brother DSI asking for a deposit.... I never made a deposit with them and they harrassesd the shit outta me. And I know im not the only one. Add all of this along with the shit I previously posted and you have yourself a shit book IMO.

                      ONLY advantage of playing at BookMake is they set lines EARLY for football and basketball. And the last would be if you are a MAX bettor betting the max house limits every game. Otherwise, you could do much better.

                        Hey, I'm not going to lie, I still play there.

                        However, it's all true what I say. Here's how unprofessional they have been:

                        I was cold called at my house, and what made things worse than the cold call was that their sales rep left a message with a family member about my sports book account and how they had a great new reload bonus and Super Bowl special. They left a message w/ a third party regarding my gambling account. Totally unprofessional !!!!

                        Now, low and behold after some time (after I bitched them out via chat and they said they took me off the phone list) I'm getting a ton of gambling spam mail. The reason I know it's them is because I just recently moved, I never changed my address w/ the post office, nor with any other sport book and/or poker account but them. They are the only ones with my new address, and here comes the mail spam. Now onto the third thing I mentioned, I'm also an affiliate, they changed the rules with impossible terms to where any small time webmaster can almost be certain to never get earnings. They implemented a 10 active player rule in the previous week for you to get affiliate earnings. I don't lie. Check out their affiliate terms if you don't believe me. I know sbr doesn't care about affiliates (nor should they) as this is a site for players. However, if you look at all of Bookmaker's practice overall, does this sound like a viable book to you?

                        They do their shady practices on the back end, so they look squeaky clean on the front end.

                          i was betting the game last night LIVE in game via my iphone and it was like i was at a vegas casino with those new live handheld betting stations..

                              And openers, if you think you can beat the openers then you will want an account there.

                                Another reason they may leave up the 3/7/10 lines is ALL free play wagers are "ties lose". doesn't matter if reload or cashing in points, same rule.

                                    did not notice that.. that blows man.. i guess moneyline is the only way to go on that then !!


                                    most books don't do this..

                                    Another thing i noticed today... shitty prop bets.. i couldn't lay a single decent Ray Rice prop bet tonight!!!
