Be Very Careful With Russian Books

[jjgold]

Marathon
Fonbet

They are good for small players $20 and below

Bigger amounts and withdrawls will get you basically banned with many frustrating emails to get money and verify docs

They wear you down

Now most cases eventually if legit account you get paid but too many hassles

Also Marathon tries to keep lines like pinnacle so you play there

Lots of good numbers but it seems like bait

[unluckysob]

plenty of scams come out of Russia.

[Digo]

I don't think they are scams, but Marathon will limit you to 1.00 Euro per bet after 2-3 bets (winning or losing).

Maybe arbers get limited,but marathon is one of best books around,no doubt.Fonbet i dont use,but they are pioneers in business.

[jjgold]

I know they are pioneers meaning Fonbet

Marathons it's quick

[firedawg]

americans play there?

[PD77]

They'll take your money like Putin stole Robert Krafts Super Bowl ring?

[lecubs28]

no.

Beantown Jeem's Russian neighbor Yuri assured me the Russian people are amongst the most honest on the internet. No games and they will pay.

I trust Yuri more than I do anyone at a sportsbook ratings agency.

Granted Yuri is facing deportation for identity theft, but still appears to be more honest than your average sportsbook analyst.

pass on both of those books - there are way to many better options out there for recreational players

[jjgold]

Software antiquated
Fonbet a little better software
Juice high Fonbet

Marathon lower juice

marathonbet is known to cut limits fast but they also pay fast, no 3 weeks window to process a withdrawal like some of the "top notch" bookies from SBR ratings.
Fonbet cuts your limits fast as well but takes a bit longer. Never heard about a complaint about them (that makes any sense)

[jjgold]

If you win decent amounts at Russian books they like to play games verifying documents forever . It is their weakness.

[pjesnik24]

I know marathon is asking for new docs all the time but fonbet did the verification quite fast in my case (long time ago) when I got limited
