    Can't shake off sportbook.com
    I just want to say I haven't had any of the problems that most of you have experienced with Jazette. onethless, I had enough faith in SBR not to play with them closing out my account in March of 2008.

    In June they gave me a 50 dollar "we want you back" bonus which I worked up to 2,000 and then lost. I just got another email saying there is a rebate in my account.

    They are the best overall book on the planet and the fact that they can afford to give a flying f*ck what SBR says tells you how big their customer base is....

    SPORTSBOOK.COM is F*CKIN' AWSOME.. PERIOD END OF STORY...

      Well, I think you're rolling the dice with a book of that rating, but if you understand the inherent risks and have accepted potential consequences I don't see a problem with playing there.

      I've got accounts at the A books, but do take a bonus here and there at a less than stellar rated site if there's something too good to pass up, or if a certain deposit method is easier at the time.

        I never ever once had a problem with them (sportsbook) or SBGGLOBAL, I really don't get why some people get screwed over by books and some have no problem at all, I dont use either book anymore as I am extremely happy with betjam which I found thanks to SBR but a lot of people apparently do get screwed by some books

            Ahh yeah. Can't think of anything better than waiting for 3 months for a withdrawal and to have their dysfunctional customer service reps continually promise you that checks had been sent out six weeks ago. Oh no now they weren't. Now we have to put a trace on them which could take another six weeks. Oops. We got another processor. Your checks should be sent out next week. No. Your checks should be sent out next week. No. Your checks should be sent out next week. Yes. They were sent out today. No. We cannot provide a tracking number at this time. Try back within 5-7 days. Your business is greatly appreciated. Yeah. How could any book be better than that?

              I don't understand why they don't use *********** as a payout option, instead of just as an alternative deposit method. Doing that, might actually improve their payout process.

                  They care enough to call and talk about but not enough to pay victims a half million. I sat down with them in 2006 with 4 pages of account info and they cleared the debt. We are always hopeful someone addresses it who A) is not shortsighted or B) is an ethical business person.

                  One thing I do agree with Shams about is there are ways to use them and not get hurt. But, not walking close to the cage doesn't mean they don't bite.

                    Well people that lose all the time love this place. Try taking out money. Its IMPOSSIBLE. Waiting from 6/2 now. over 4 weeks. They suck and they lie on the phone. STAY AWAY unless of course you play for 50 dollars and never win thenn they are fine!!

                      And don't forget after getting the cheque, it could bounce and then the process starts again.

                        They do use TAKEMYWALLET. They took mine last fall.

                            They rebated me for 100 dollars. I haven't had to deposit with them in years and the stories on this board led me to taking my money and running (I've drawn about 10k out of them over the last 4 months) yet I'm not going to leave or give up free money. Just wanted to know if anybody else was in the same situation.

                              I like playing there good lines never had any issues.The perks they give me are really nice.I was in the withdraw issue back in late april and they contacted me told me about other options to get my money ended up getting it a few days later.They are a really big book 900,000 in data base so I guess there will be issues with some.I agree they are the best!

                                  All I can say is this: I'm not playing at a book unless it has an A rating. I would probably try a B book if I needed to.......but I don't need to. If you've been on the forums a while then you've read the horror stories and know where not to play. I could give a flying f!@# about some crappy 10X or 5X $50.00 bonus / free play. Keep that sh1t. Just pay me when I ask. Don't get baited by a free play.....

                                    this place will be out of business soon. They can't pay the players. I have so much in my accounts but can't get it out. Anyone who says they are a good book is someone who NEVER takes out money. They are fine until you win. Oh and if you beat them they shut you off. Limits are ultra small. yeah they are the best. Sure. They are the worst ever
                                    try to take out money you will be waiting and waiting and waiting. Do not waste your time with any of these Jazette books. THey should be a F rated. 1 month to get your money is not exceptable. Just play with a local and get paid monday morning.

                                        If they are going belly up how can you account for the VIP box at the lakers-celtics game that they invited me and thirty other people too!

                                            The sportsbook.com excuse parade....

                                            Brought up with their monkeys the fact that they receive a D- grade from this forum. Monkey replied that its because they are not a sponsor of the site.....IF there was ever a bad time to screw and late-pay the gambler its before football season...Never had a problem with them over several years until now. I have no idea how this business works. I don't believe a word out of their pieholes about "processors." I just think it's a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Maybe they took a bath the last month or two and are just waiting on money from new suckers to pay off the old suckers, all while earning interest....
