We've all dealt with shit books before and nobody on here, who's a real gambler with balls, has any problme naming a book who's fuk'in around with their account! So either name the book or you're just full of shit, probably lost your ass and your "story" never happened. Real gamblers make others aware of shit like this!
    I agree.. what a goof....

    Usually good to keep the name of the book quiet until SBR handles your complaint and/or you get paid.

    Well... I'm not sure moving to threats will help too often. But at least if you haven't dragged them through the mud first they don't have reason to deny you for being an ass, and they do have reason to look after you for the reason you said.

    let me follow up. i apologize for not naming the book and understand why some would be upset.

    the full story is as i posted above.

    the sportsbook is SPORTSBOOK.COM

    whoever guessed BetUS was closest i believe

    The story is as I told it on day 1. the only difference is i received a 10% bonus for depositing via moneybookers. this is not even a real bonus since depositing from a USD moneybookers into Euros and then withdrawing (hopefullyy) back from euros to USD nearly eats up 10% right there.

    i went on a ridiculous winning streak. Every sunday morning you could look at their card for NFL and they would have Panthers +7.5 +100 when pinnacle had them +7 -105, moneylines that were 20cent scalps. They would not react to steam at all. If you go to their teaser page the teaser #s are based on whatever the spreads were around 6am Sunday. So if the Bears were +9 and steamed to +3.5 you could still tease the Bears up to +15. I remember the week the Chiefs beat the Packers I had them +19.5 in a 6pt teaser when the spread closed somewhere around 10-11. I can go on and on.

    The manager calls me from Malta and says he doesnt like my betting behavior. I know books hate steam chasers who are just trying to meet roll for a bonus, but the bonus was sort of irrelevant to me. at these odds i would never stop playing at this book. and 'steam plays' were a fairly small part of my bets, they just had so many stale numbers i did not need to chase steam there. anyways i unloaded on all their square lines and won.

    so he tells me to bet like a square, i kind of say uh huh ill do my best. i guess he wasnt happy and shut down my account.

    anyways after some hassle with ID, they paid me the full amount to moneybookers within a week, and the amount is over 24000USD. i am incredibly surprised and happy about this, especially given the other disputes with them. so no hard feelings. they are definitely a square book and will boot winners, but they paid me in full and even included the bonus funds when i had not yet met rollover. most books would confiscate it or at best pro rate it.

    on a side note, their software is by far the worst on the internet. you never know when your bet actually went through, so you could end up not getting a line you wanted without knowing it, or unknowingly triple popping something. and good luck figuring out your bet history when it looks like this and they document every 'attempted' bet

    When u start winning they recognize ur betting habits and start shaving the lines. Bodog is famous for it. A lot of books are. I remember betting at a book called Bowmans. They had great dog lines. I was smashing them and all the sudden instead of talking to the operators they gave me my own personal guy who sounded like he was in my basement. He started shaving my lines. Told me that this was the new deal and i had to deal with it. I asked him if i was losing tons of money would they give me a new guy and better lines to help me out? He wasn't interested in answering that comment. I finally cashed out. Im not sure they are around anymore.

    Wow Bowman is old school... I think they might have been the first sponsor of beat the prick or, at least, some other good contest here years ago... (damn things really start running together after you done this for a few years)...

    As far of the OP smart move not dropping sportsbook.com's name until after getting your payout processed...
