you heard right!

Let's see:

Despite their add here they no longer offer reduced juice. They also did away with 7to1 on 3teamers with the big bonus.

If you take the big bonus and win, they will put you on a delay, call you professional, limit you, and try whatever other tactics they can to get you to want to withdrawal at which point they will attempt to confiscate half your balance for failing to meet their absurdly defined rollover ((deposit+free play+winnings from from play+cost of deposit) x8). If you mention SBR they will agree not to steal your money and to let you keep betting under their terms until you meet their rollover, $500 or whatever absurd limits you now have at a time.

Then when you do finish, their withdrawal fees are bookmaker level absurd. Though in their defense they do pay in exactly the time listed on their site.

They are a C+ book in every sense. That SBR keeps them at A- and on the recommended list is ridiculous.

Thanks! I'll be staying away from them. I'm glad I asked instead of trusting SBR's recommended list.

I went through a very unique and amatuerish incident (On their part) many years ago, but nothing compared to what Durito had to endure. You have made a wise choice to stay away, believe me.

They mailed me their offer for reduced juice
After I opened my account they did not give it to me

Big surprise. Their SBR add still promotes it even though they don't offer it. You think SBR might want them to change that.

I have been playing at this book for three months or so now, I like it. I find CS to be very good, they have some opinionated numbers. Just got my first payment of $2500 and am looking forward to more. They haven't cut me at all, I can bet $500 or $1000 on everything, but I don't play steam or screen bets either.

So far so good.

I think sportsbooks are like race tracks for horses. "Horses for courses" we used to say when one horse did well at a particular track. Now granted some sportsbooks are like rocky fields, ain't no horse/player in their right mind that wants to run in those.....

They didn't start ****ing with me till about 4 months in and +20k.

I guess they aren't horrible, they do pay. Just pisses me off when books do a 180 after you win a bunch.

**Peep** · 05-22-09, 01:53 PM

Yeah, I know what happened to you Durito, and agree fully they behaved very poorly.

I resolved to avoid some of the problems they gave you by only sending in $500/$1000 max. I like that they do count everything towards rollover, bases, props and halftimes, so 8X/10X is not to difficult to do.

If I can pull out 20K before the hammer comes down I will be a happy camper indeed.

I sort of agree with what Ricky Steve said, something to the effect of "get what you can out of them while you can, they will all dump you in the end". And, he might have have added, "the books often behave very poorly in the end as well".

GL with your plays.

I won a bunch there but not quite at durito's level, never had an issue. I still have -105 lines, however my account is now empty there as their MLB lines are pretty crappy now. They've always paid quickly via wire or check so I'll probably be back with them for NFL.
