Why is Bookmaker rated A+

[hornsrgrt]

It takes time to pull money out and it is not easy to pull large amounts out?
I can only assume since they ADVERTISE here they get the A+.

[fakeandthedrive]

Bingo!

[BIGDAY]

I have no problems with bookmaker. I like that their lines are up fast and they have a great moble site.

[Justin7]

I've found Bookmaker to be one of the easiest books to get large payouts. I've never had a 5-figure wire take more than 4 business days, and it has never taken longer than 1 day for a wire deposit to be credited.

[nyjets15]

I've never bass problem with my 3 figure payouts either...lol

When you give a book A+ grade they have to be perfect in everything. Since their soccer lines are F they shouldn't have A+ status.

No book is perfect in everything. Rock solid safety, fast payouts, high limits and the earliest lines. That's A+.

I wonder if they offer you -130 for a football spread of -3 when everyone else is offering -110 -3 how would you feel? Check their soccer lines. They suck!

[patswin]

Bookmaker and Greek are A+

[RealSlimShady]

I think primarily because of financial stability......your money is safe there.

Then don't bet that there. You should have multiple outs. They have competitive lines in many of the largest markets. Granted, I don't bet soccer, so I wouldn't know (or care) about that, but I just generally don't expect to be able to bet every market at any single book, so I just have different expectations. What they do, they do well.

[doublej95]

i do agree there soccer lines are not the best, they are terrible for totals.

Agreed. This is the easiest book to pull a large payout. I have done it numerous times. I think this is one of the strongest points of the book.

I don't bet soccer there hence the reason why they shouldn't be A+. An A+ book should have the best lines in every sport just like Pinnacle.

Because they pay a lot of money.

I suppose if your theory is that there can only be 1 A+ book then I see your point. Of course I think there is one little thing that kinda disqualifies Pinnacle from being A+...namely that I can't bet there because I'm American. Kind of a dealbreaker.

A. have money in a book like 5dimes with no financial stability, crooks and get -110

or

B. play in bookmaker, greek etc and get actually paid, financially stable and get -130

I will take option B.

Besides not many US customers bet on soccer. The people that do are mainly non-US punters.

Bookmaker and greek target US customers...their lines in NBA, NFL and NHL seem fine. Their baseball lines are not upto mark...but thats a small negative considering all the positives.

[pavyracer]

I bet football and basketball at bookmaker but I don't bet soccer there. I didn't say it's a bad book overall. It's a bad book for soccer. So if I was giving grades I would give them an A but not A+.

And since not many US customers bet soccer then what is their reasoning for shitty soccer lines?

[vyomguy]

Coz there is still 5% degenerate population which likes to bet on every damn sport. Bookmakers target is the remaining 95% of the people.

Great book

[IrishTim]

Because you'll get paid.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[ArcadeFire]

Top three book for sure. Must-have out.

Thank you very much.What a lost resource.

take +3 (+110) ??

[loudpacmanjones]

Early lines and financial stability.

[mighty maron]

A. have money in a book like 5dimes with no financial stability, crooks and get -110

Interested in your opinions on this sentence you wrote

[jgilmartin]

If Pinnacle is the A+ standard, no US-facing book should be A+. Pinnacle has:
1. Financial stability and fast payouts
2. A high tolerance to professional action
3. Early lines
4. Competitive odds

No US-facing book has all 4 of these. I can understand why SBR does have the best US-facing books as A+, though, since SBR's primary target market seems to be the US. A bit like curve grading, I suppose.

just search for 5dimes in SBR archives

[joe blow]

They charge a $100 for a book to book transfer

[Sawyer]

I can't understand..why somebody would like to use Bookmaker for betting?

Lines are bad. NBA lines are -110.
Hockey odds are bad.
Soccer odds are suck and there's only O/U & 1x2 bets.

[relaaxx]

charged me $200 for a b2b. that does not sound like an A book to me. the only other place that ever charged me anything for a b2b was WSEX. $50 to send more money thru b2b than the BOOKMAKER transfer.

[FourLengthsClear]

They are financially secure
They are an SBR sponsor

For a US facing book this appears to be enough to get A or A+

BM do offer more markets and have higher limits than Legends (also A+) so it wold be more valid to question Legends' rating IMHO.

[BrianLaverty]

Closer to a B IMO.. but there reputation alone gives them an A+, unfortunately.
