    Why would anyone play at WagerWeb??
    60-90 days quoted for a check payout. (Some not even getting paid in that amount of time). If you do choose to withdraw a much smaller amount same day you get charged 10 percent, and their lines are some of the worst I've ever seen. 100 cents on a -300 fav in tennis, same with MMA, boxing, baseball and football lines are also shiet. One of the worst books I've ever seen. I'd rather play with a local. I would highly recommend getting your $ out of there even if it costs you close to 4 bills in fees like it did me. Play elsewhere. Only reason I stayed there so long was the Legends fiasco and some coin that was rolled over. Word to the wise - a deposit there is a horrible investment on your money.

      Some of their lines are fantastic. They also offer some bets that I have never seen at any other offshore book. For example, some of their MLB props.

      One problem is that their newly updated website is very unstable. That should improve over time.

      Do they allow cashouts via book to book transfers? If not, the payout times are definitely another problem.

        If you think they have great lines on anything you might be a shill for them. I only played there because I was forced to (legends) and ask anyone on this site with any real history of playing offshore and they will tell you how much the lines suck. Regular lines, teaser lines, 30, 40, 60 cent or more baseball lines depending on the fav. 700 cent tennis line on a -1200 fav?? Coupled with the payout issue good luck pal if you play there long term, you are throwing money and potential profit away.

          Kgambler is correct. There's not a lot of value at Wagerweb, but there is some to be found.

                  place fukkin blows...fees are outragous and as ive said 10 times, they have the WORST odds in the industry

                  bey hey, they pay same day p2p for a crazy fee, whe ucan can get 3x more in 1 transaction for almost the same price at the top books...any any top book worth a damn u can get same day and less than 24hr p2ps

                  only reason people play is they cant say no to a bonus, or play at shit books because they offer them...or the unfortunate ones that had no choice from legends

                  but hey, to each his own

                          love this book for what now,,ummm 9 years,back then neteller transactions were always smooth,,,p2p have been as smooth if not better than most books as far as timeliness goes. Once again the fee for this method is free once a month (put into a freeplay).. only until recently bookmaker was even worse with their fees than all the complaints about ww..

                            Could you post some or one?I will probably never rollover my Legends money because I refuse to bet their crap lines.Maybe football will be different but I've yet to see it.

                              Like Mike5 said, the amount of $$ you have to pay for each small p2p withdrawal offsets any decent prop line you may find there if you use a microscope because all value is lost collecting your coin. For the most part, all their lines are the worst I've ever seen. Stay away is my advice. No positives at this book at all. Good luck for those stuck waiting 3 months or more for your $$. I hope you get paid. I could send that swimmer who arrived in Key West from Cuba yesterday to WW offices and she could bring us our $$ maybe. That way we wouldn't have to hear WagerWeb's "it is very hard to get money into the US right now." Excuse over and over and over...

                                    BigJay, I guess you never looked hard enough because with your lack of attention, you basically threw money away while you were forced to play there.

                                      Hey just open for discussion here so I hope you take it as such. What books are you comparing Wagerweb to in terms of payouts? I want to make sure we are on a level playing field.

                                            Jay, I'm just pointing this out. Like it or not you can find value there at times.

                                            Multiple people chime in. I just happen to do it often. Been doing it since 2005ish.

                                                  Yes, racebook is a perk for me. High payout limits on pick 4's is a must. Plus I get like 9 or 10% in action in rewards points.
