    Safest book left in US market isssssssssss

    Legends, like it or not this is reality. Safer than any book left at our disposal. Square/rec book but fast payouts, financial stability, and not going to disappear with player funds.

    Many new start ups who may or may not be around long term, generally good bonuses and fast payouts but no track record or history, for all we know 3rd week of football slow pays could start. Few old school books with longer payout times and heavy on feds radar but have plenty of cash for the time being, if feds get to them or lose processors may not be able to cash out with any consistency. Legends is the perfect "middle" known" but not famous, fast payouts and tons of cash in reserve. Not on DOJ's hit list, advertise but not "all out there." Well managed. I will play there and if they fall I think I am really actuall done offshore.

    ummm, how do you know they have plenty of cash? probably right but sounds like a guess to me.

    sportsbook.com has been great with me recently. they cashed a payout of mine in 14 days and then another one in just 11 days. I am impressed with this as it was supposed to be 4-6 weeks. both were 4 figures

    Legends is more stable than Heritage, Bookmaker and 5Dimes?

    Legends is Ok. Lines are a tad tough... not as tough as Bookmaker. You can find a better book for football this year.

    Sites tha have tough lines and don't gve away the farm also have huge $ reserves. Their offices are by FAR the nicest I have seen of any offshore book. Have always stayed under the radar. Legends is solid as they come although many will look for edge book. Just hope if they win they get paid, at legends you know you will.

    Legends has been offering extremely high bonuses lately. I hope you have all of your facts straight.

    5D is not stable, they just offer the best value by far compared to useless shops like Legends.
    If safety would be my only concern, then Legends >>>> 5D (and prolly BM too after all that happened)

    If Legends is my only choice, then I'll quit betting offshore. Plain vanilla Book with little to offer other than safety.

    I would say Heritage as number one and then I'd probably go with BetIslands as they have stayed cash only and I think they're doing well with this model.

    Certainly. But why play at a Book you can't beat? I'd rather cash out than play at Legends.

    Unfortunately they are also committed to month waiting times on payouts.

    There is not one safe book for US customers. Anyone of these could disappear at any time alone with every cent you have on deposit. I personally would not keep more than a few thousand at any book.

    If you have to play post up and have a sizable balance it is best to have a presence from outside the US and to use books that don't accept US players.
