Yes I saw that on the site, but I'm not sure they would survive anyone consistently betting nickels on their +1.5 run lines in MLB that are 25 or 30 cents off (i.e., scalpable).

#37exactly, LT..
you'd be playing with fire to play there. imagine betting 6 games a day for a nickel there and getting 25 cents more on those games and having a bang out week and being up 17,700.. good luck..
you will have sleepless nights.. you might not get paid.
crazyl, can you have a settle figure with them.. like when my balance reaches 5,000, can we settle, or do we have to wait till the end of the week..Comment -

Settle figures, yeah. Each account I think is a little different. BTW I doubt anyone could EVER be up 17k there, they aren't that kind of shop, if your credit line is 6k, I am sure around the most you can win is 6k a week.Comment -

#39betty, not necessarily, these scam books will collect from the losers, stroke the winners a few days till they get paid, and then run..
betty, alot of kids on this site who play at CW don't understand gambling.. but i want some of the big boys to come in here and comment on this and you'll see they agree with me. how can you make money booking bets at 15-20 cents off the price and expect to make money.
help me make these kids understand bigger boys here at SBR.. do you agree with me that books cannot make money while putting up opinionated lines that are off by 15-20 cents.
how come SBR John won't give his thumbs up to this place. has anyone asked SBR John on his opinion.. SBR John or Billy Dozer, am i right, or what?
tell these kids, they don't understand.. they will learn the hard way.
im not being mean here, i'm just trying to help them by not losing their hard earned money.
I have never used them or even tried to find them. So I am not biased about them.
1. They came out of nowhere and there is not much info about them. Most of the info people get about them is what they "heard". Not so good.
2. We all know they cruise this and other Forums as a way to get info and possibly promote business in a subtle way. Not too bad.
3. If their TRUE business model is as other posters here have stated, then it makes some sense. Give credit for small amounts to bring in customers at a small risk and then make relationships with the good paying customers and increase their limits as they show they can pay. Also, take in post-up money for the larger players once they establish that solid relationship. Good thing.
4. I do remember a Sunday night Met game not so long ago, that everyone in the world was on, and their site was having problems. I don't think that was by chance. It just happened to be the last shot that everyone had to wager before the end of the week. I know I got killed that night, as did most guys. But that is part of the business. Just like retail, if your hours are posted, you are open. The solution they gave was to raise the settle number up for everyone so they didn't have to send in cash that week. Everyone thought that was great! But what they are missing is all the money the players could have won if they got their wagers down on the Mets. They dodged a bullet and then eveyone was OK with it because they didn't have to pay that week. Bad.
5. The customer base they are building is costing them next to nothing. They are doing it all with places like this and we are promoting their business for them. The free credit is the hook because it is a new concept, and everyone is going to talk about it. What do you think this type of press would cost if you had to print all those glossy ads and sent them to homes like SBG etc? They are getting this press with minimum cost. Smart!
6. Weak lines are aslo talked about and how they are taking shots on chosing an outcome for a wager ( if this is truly what they are doing). This is VERY dangerous. They are becoming nothing more than gamblers themselves if this is the truth. NO ONE has tomorrows newspaper today. Anyone that has been wagering longer than 3 years can tell you that. The idea that books want to take action on both sides and even out and collect the vig is bullshit. There is never a day in any sports books life that they don't need certain outcomes to happen. They have good days and bad days like everyone. They just have the math of the vig on their side to smooth out the bumps over the long run. If they need sides everyday, they better have the right number. I find it hard to believe that their number is better than everyone elses. If it was, it would be posted by a reputable linesman and don't you think that would give them instant credibilty? But they are a mystery to most people. If you had that "name" to use as a linesman they would be shouting it from the rooftops. It's only a matter of time they catch a bad run if they are using off lines and taking sides. VERY BAD.
I see at as way too many negatives or question marks to take a risk. Even if they letting me start with nothing.

#40Nicky,
Understand that if they stick to their current model of $100 max, I think they could become hugely successful. Like I've said, I personally know people that have been paid with regularity via their debit card, including someone that has now won four weeks in a row. I don't think they'll ever get gurt with $100 limits.
Also, regarding the Lakers -125 series price, they kept that up until they had about 5K in exposure until they started jacking line up. I don't think a 5K hit means much to them, especially considering all of the new customers they must have gained with that line.Comment -

#42bet,
you caught me off guard on that post. wow, what a huge post by you..good job, kiddo.. i have never seen you post like this in my life, and it was about sports. every post i have seen you post up till now was about richie, or jj or videos.. i have never seen this side of you.. i laughed when i saw that 1200 word essay by you..good post
LT, i agree they will never get hurt booking 100 a game, espeically when most of their action is probably on the favs, including those jacked up prices on the cubs at -190, when they are -163 at matchy.. i am starting to wish i had that CW business and their customers. PLUS, they use a 20 cent line.Comment -

#43A few more things since you like my post.:
Thanks for the Props guys.
This is the part I agree with Nicky about.
If they are taking sides, then some people will eventually get stiffed. Not by design, but because they are going to get buried and they won't be able to pay. It may be sooner or later, but it will happen. The other thing I see here is that they are taking $100 limits per side and they won't get hurt. They can't do that forever, even at 100 bucks. No one can. At what point is it wise to only make a certain amout of money? Is it worth the trouble for them for such low limits? Remember, an established book makes about 4% hold on their total handle from sports. All they want to do is increase that handle as high as they can. This shop is trying to limit their handle because they have to with the credit extended. It goes against all logic of business to limit your sales (for lack of a bettor word). But they are doing just that.
So the next argument is, they will make it up in volume. Well how can they compete long-term with the established A places on volume alone? They need 100 customers for everyone one whale at $100 vs $10000. And there are a lot of players above that 10K side limit at A books. I know for a fact there are players wagering 100K per side on NFL at some places. Then with all those volume customers, what's the customer service going to be like then? Will they have enough reps to handle all those requests for all those people?
I think the limits are also for their protection. Think about it, they don't have any regulations to post matching funds for each deposit by law. They could have started this on a shoe-string. Zero marketing, minimal infrastructure and low limits. Sounds like how I started in my dorm room 21 years ago....
But everyone keeps posting how they have some big steam behind them. Maybe they do? I don't know. But even if they do, how long will it lasts before they get barreled in from being sided, or to low handle, or too much expenses for the hold left, or getting a bad rep from poor CS trying to handle all small money requests?
One last thing: Most times in my life anyone telling you how much cash they have behind them, is usually tryinmg to hide the fact that it's just the opposite. Those with cash never talk about it and those without ALWAYS talk abou it.

#54Well as far as the lines being way off... THAT MEANS SH*T... I posted up to get my limits raised last week and I noticed this little detail so I figured I am going to take four of the games who's lines are off the most and got my clock cleaned... They were the best lines by at least 20 cents but I lost every god damn one .....so not doing that anymore...
I owe them 1500 and paying tonight.... I am also posting up to get my limits raised to 400 and I'm going to win sooner or later damnit and I want to see if they pay since I haven't recieved one yet from them....
I also have noticed a big plus to playing at books that have small limits... It FORCES MMag. because you can't exactly go all in on one game.... If you have a big roll and the max. bet is 500 then it should be MUCH easier to have MM... I'll hit two or three in a row and get over confident and over bet on the 4th game and get pasted so I do see an advantage to playing at books with small limits...

also, I doubt if a sharpie signed up with them and did bet those wacky dogs at 25 cents or better that they'd continue to book your action. they might cut you off from betting with them. i guarantee you they'll do this.. they dont want guys that know what they're doing.. they want guy like AAO betting with them.

You are claiming that is the right side over time so why not play that same right side at another book..? It's not like it will win ONLY if you play it at CWoo...
I like CWoo for the debit card even though I haven't had a chance to use it and the low limits of under 500... For someone with questionable MM I recommand a low limit book...

read my lips.. YES, YOU WILL WIN AT CW AT THE VERY END, NO MATTER WHAT...
not because its the right side, but because it's all a #'s game.. if you are laying -145 at CRIS, but laying only -126 at CW.. if you do this for 1000 games, you have to, have to have to have to have to end up winning..
each time you lose at CW, you save tons of dollars, which in essence, means that you are putting x amount of dollars back in your pocket, x 1,000 games, you'd be up a ton to start.

wait till they have that bad week and they double up on the Sunday night game and it goes down and double up again the next day and that loses, and their in shock when they find they have to settle a big massive debt that they have no idea where they will get those funds, meanwhile, when playing with post up, you can't get into trouble like this.
