    how much is safe in the 4 A+ books

    I was just curious how much is safe to have for a balance at one time in the A+ books ( 5dimes, bookmaker, Legends). Ive built quite a balance in a couple of these books and I'm wondering if i should be worried that much about it. 5 figures? 6 figures? What does everyone think? Anyone with experience with those kinds of numbers in those books please share, it would be helpful. Thanks guys!

    I live in the U.S.

    Personally I would be quite happy to have my entire bankroll at Pinnacle if it suited my purposes.

    As for the others, I wouldn't deposit there at all so long as they service US players and remain in Uncle Sam's sights.

    There are better options at which your money is safe - Betfair, Matchbook, SBO and Tabcorp.

    Anything 8 or 9 figures I'd think is probably cool, but nothing much more than that

    Oh yeah. easy. I turned $50 bucks into a couple hundred mil at 5dimes in a matter of months and now I got Tony licking the fuzz off my balls and bringing me coffee. He's a stand up guy. I'm going to have him purchase me a house sometime next year.

    Personally I wouldnt keep more than would financially hurt you if the US Govt decides to shut down some US player shops again. I dont think any shop is 100% safe for US players anymore,JMO.

    later

    6 figures now days I dont even trust banks , I have my money into several accounts.
    5 figures problably only trust pinnacle but had to think about it.
    Bookies that accept americans- I only have the minimum for 3 or 4 bets

    I don't have any concerns about my money at Betfair or Matchbook. Neither are in Uncle Sam's sights.

    I don't believe any player has ever been dudded by either of them, though of course I am aware of some claims against Betfair but you just don't know the full story of what they were up to.

    JJGold seems to be making alot of noise lately that Matchbook isn't to be trusted.

    Can we trust JJ to provide credible information?

    You don't need JJ for knowing that MB is micky mouse crap now, they didn't even keep their promise to add other currencies after leaving the US.
    How should i trust them with larger money amounts if they cannot get the most logical steps done, bullshit.
