    Betcorp sportsbooks - WWTS, BetBet.com.
    I would like to report excellent service which your readers need to know about. I've bet online with WWTS and its sister property BetBet.com for years now. Betcorp runs them both. I am very happy with both sportsbooks. Recently, after the Wood Memorial, when Jazil finished a strong 2ND, I saw that the odds at both books jump from 80 - 1 to 400 -1. I knew this had to be a mistake. According to ALL sportsbook rules - including those in Vegas - the Books don't have to pay off odds set by human or technical error. They all have the right to adjust bets made at wrong odds. I emailed BetBet 3 times notifying them of the mistake. When the odds dropped to 200 - 1, I hoped the line was properly set (instead of automatically, by computer), but worried it could still be wrong. I didn't want to take a chance and bet $110 to win $22,000. I wouldn't say I'm a winning gambler, definitely not a wise guy, but I've made more money at those 2 books than I've lost, thanks to a few big wins. I've always been promptly paid off. I've had live online chat assistance on a few matters that went very well for me. But I was curious and anxious to see how they would handle this bet. When in the past I have pointed out mistakes at Pinnacle Sports, they deposited cash into my account. BetCris let me place a small amount at the high odds on Lawyer Ron which were definitely a mistake. Neither sportsbook had to do that. After a few days, I got the dreaded email from Nancy Knapman, Racing Manager of Betcorp. The Jazil lines at 400- and 200-1 were definitely mistakes. However, since I tried to notify them of the mistake in the first place, she offers to refund my $110 bets back into my account, and then to place a $110 bet on Jazil at the proper 20-1 odds to win $2200 AT NO CHARGE TO ME - if that would be alright. Alright with me? Risk no money to win $2200, when they don't have to do anything other than adjust my original bet and keep my money? Yes, I'm definitely okay with that. I doubt any race book in Vegas would do that. And yes, they also make mistakes in Vegas.
    I think both WWTS and BetBet offer bonuses, but that is the last thing I care about. I judge my sportsbooks by the lines they post, how fast they pay out, and the things they do for the player which they don't have to do. Integrity is what I look for. In my mind the Betcorp books, WWTS and BetBet.com, rank right up there with Pinnacle and Cris as must have accounts for the serious player. I don't know why gamblers would chose sportsbooks without the integrity and reputations that these top books have.

      I've never used BetBet but I've used other Betcorp books, WWTS, Cybersportsbook and WagerOnSports.

      I can find picky, little complaints sometimes but, in the big picture, they really are among the good guys of the industry.

      Thanks for posting GregO.
