    This. If I bet something at one shop, the other moves within 3 seconds. They're just trying to cover their asses in case dealing Pinny lines turn out for them the same way it did for Cascade.

    I've transferred funds from BOL and made a withdrawal. Moneybookers wasn't functioning but I received the cheque quite quickly. They even sent me a bottle of Dom in the mail this week as a welcome gift. So far so good for me.

    If SBR would do this review some BOL members might consider transferring some funds.

    I can't play at this shop (wish I could) but I have it on good authority that BOL is guaranteeing the funds at this place WHILE MAINTAINING THEY ARE NOT THE SAME COMPANY! If they get Moneybookers/ewallets going they will get alot more business. I might also suggest chat to go along with email.

    BOL does not guarentee the funds that are with lowvig, even for players they recommend there...read the article at osga.com...not that i play at either, but its a good read if ur actually thinking of depositing there

    Dude, my authority is alot higher up than osga.com. I guess people can believe me or you. hmmmm Since you don't play at either I am trying to figure your interest in this? Altruism maybe? If so that is truly a rare quality here.

    go to osga.com.....go to offshore report, under it says " more" articles....the article is 'Who is lowVig?" from jan 8th, 2012 in the article they ask BOL "what if low-vig has a few bad weeks, are u backing player funds u recomment from BOL?"

    BOL responds" NO, we have NOTHING to do with them financially"

    article is still on osga.com, i just re-read it...mr authority a few posts above( katstale)hasnt come back cause hes dead wrong...shows how much his "authority" on real issues is

    osga is a joke

    kats knows what is going on.

    if bol had nothing to do with them financially they wouldn't be processing their payouts.

    SBR has not commented nor rated lowvig for a reason. They smell something fishy here.

    There may have been a split in BOL. They started out as low vig, big bonus book. They couldn't keep that up, and switched in a direction that I believe Alex described as towards Bookmaker. There may be a crowd there that still thinks they could have been a low vig book, if they hadn't f*cked it up with the big bonuses. If so, they may have split off to create something along the original BOL lines. They did call it Lowvig for a reason, didn't they? Never heard of another book that named itself for low juice.

    The silence is deafening. Some observations. If you do sign up, but don't deposit straight away, they'll remind you with daily e-mails, aka spam, that you haven't completed the registration process. Unlike e-mails from BOL, their e-mails are not signed. The plot thickens... lol It doesn't exactly inspire a whole lot of confidence so far.

    I may try them out for baseball. If they clear up the confusion about their mystery identity.

    money lines should be exact same as BOL for MLB, I suppose they will have reduced on totals and rl´s though.

    Am constantly harassed by these lowvig people. What I don't understand is, why the silence from SBR? It's been too long to not have some type of comment other than "we aren't reviewing them. proceed with caution." Obviously they know something that we don't. Just share the darned information instead of feeding us crap like we are mushrooms.

    It's not like SBR is in the information sharing business. They don't have investigative reporters who can dig into LowVig and make an assessment. Clearly LowVig hasn't come to SBR, and SBR's horse sense and business interest is to say: "We don't know. So our best advice is to stay away."

    I'm not going to dig them up, but SBR Lou has pretty much said that in so many words and I doubt that we'll get any more unless LowVig gets its shit together and decides to strike a deal.

    At least in theory, the creation of Lowvig would set the stage for BOL to move away in the future from things as dimelines in baseball.

    Of course, SBR has picked up the phone by now and asked BOL about this. Who are we kidding? And, I would assume, BOL has explained the situation but insisted on confidentiality, because ....

    Make a bet at lowvig and it moves the line at BOL. I'd say they are related.

    Them and BetOnline are one of only a couple shops right now that offer NFL week 1 lines, and their lines are identical. They are definitely related in some way, but nobody has ever really clarified just what that relationship is. I've been waiting for something for awhile.

    Very weird place.I'm here not by choice.I put in a withdrawal request request for $2000 0n Tuesday & everything looked ok.Then I see the money was not taken out and I don't have any pending withdrawals.This sucks Vegasvic was a great place and this place is a horror show.

    No phone numbers,no live chat....No good can come of this.This is a circus
