Trust Sportsbooks?

[kdavis]

I just joined this forum so I will go ahead a say pardon my ignorance. I just hope I am posting this on the right board. I am about as green as it gets when it comes to online betting. I know the first thing I need to do is find a sportsbook. My question and / or concern is this. No matter what kind of rating they have, being that these sportsbooks are located in another country, what keeps them from just taking my money and closing up shop or just confiscating my account. It just doesn't seem I would have any recourse at all. Also, is there such a thing as having too large a bankroll in any one sportsbook? I have heard that there are professional gamblers out there with a few hundred thousand dollars in these sportsbooks. If this is true, I just don't see how they could trust them with that much money. Maybe I am just not that trusting of a guy. I'm trying. Thanks.
BTW get ready for more questions. I have a few.

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum

I'm not going to lie to you and say your money is 100% secure, however if you play at books like BetJamaica (SBR Rated A+), TheGreek (SBR Rated A+) or Bookmaker (SBR Rated A+). Then odds are it will be about as safe as putting it into a bank IMO. Now grant it any book can confiscate your money if you violate the T&C, but that's the reason you only play at top tier books like the ones I've mentioned above.

If I were u Kdavis, I'll go for Bookmaker as what Dan have mentioned in his lists. They also have bonuses which are reasonable enough for punters to give a try.. Goodluck!
