Hey HB how long does it takes for their checks to arrive.?
I have a withdraw pending and I don't know how long I should expect it to take... Also what method do they use to send them...I was charged $50 for the withdraw if that helps...
Thanks

Great book if you are stupid enough to lay -110. When you can lay an average of -103 at matchbook.

i'm shocked bookmaker is an A+ book. to me any book that has 20 cent baseball lines should not get an A or an A+. i got bookmaker rated at A- at best.

A+ is highly questionable. Why do we rate books so high for just getting paid. Bookmaker is at lest 5-10 days to get paid. That is unacceptable. I never choose checks as a payment option but if I did it would be at a shop that would have check in hand within 72 hours. If they can't get you a MoneyGram within 8 hours i won't play there either... Speed is a better test of a BOOK in my opinion.

Scambook, don't deposit there they are a deposit only book, try Cascade or Betroyal if you want your money to be safe, plus they'll offer you like a 100% reload bonus if you deposit enough

Yeah broke I think that was funny. To re-instate what I was saying. I believe there are plenty of Books that are safe I can think of 8 that pay faster and are just as safe.

thet are in my top 4.greek=1 ,5 dimes =2, bet jamacia=3 and bookmaker=4.this books pays,and they are strongly backed money wise.only complaints,are it cost around 65 dollars to withdraw if you use fed ex,which i do.you can use loalty points when you with draw.its cheaper using regular mail,but iam not going that rout.last but not least,it cost a lot to do book,book transfer,i dont go that rout.good luck in chosing a book.

I agree the usual 5-10 business day waiting period (normally leaning more towards 10 bus. days) and the $50 charge they hit you with for FedEx is ridiculous, also the 5-10 business days is misleading b/c most banks will not cash an international check and will hold it for another 10 business days, so to make a long story short it will take roughly a month from when you request a payout to when you are able to spend the cash and they charge you $50 for the inconvenience.

This is true, Cascade and Betroyal are actually horrible books and I consider Bookmaker and Matchbook to be tied for #1 as far as US player accepting books go. If you don't use both of these you are clearly insane and ignoring a couple of the best opportunities to win at sports betting.

This is sarcasm I assume... You shouldn't do this when I new poster asks questions as someone could read this and think you're offering real advice...

Precisely the reason why it's alright to joke, anyone with enough sense to check SBR before signing up with a book is going to have enough sense to avoid Cascade/Betroyal/Lazer Wager/Scambook2000 etc. etc. etc. . The number one starting place is the SBR rating list, every A rated book is a good out (except BetOnline which is run by drug addicts and sends hookers to SBR headquarters daily to keep their A rating)

Excellent book. Certainly they have flaws, but not getting paid and not taking a fair wager aren't among them.
