    Lat I heard Dave was pushing pay per head- but it would be hard to trust anyone who helped wagerweb turn into such a scam book-

    Never understand how a brand new book can get any rating- u see a bank account with money in it?


    Post up is dead- u cannot get money in or out- total pain in ass and not worth it for anyone to start

    Would not consider posting up here for even a split second

    WagerWeb should be an F book

    why exactly has the book opened at C-? if his former book was a D-?

    just curious as to how this all works..

    is this site legit shari or should we keep our funds away?

    thx

    Average bettor:

    10 $100 bets

    5 wins for $500
    5 losses for $550

    $100 back in freeplay which is turned into $45 cash on average.

    So this book is working with a 0.5% hold for a 50% bettor?

    Exactly. C- is too generous an initial rating, especially given the WW (D-) background the manager. This "Johnson" guy sounds like a "stiff job" waiting to happen.

    Even before yesterday I would've said to just wait and see with this book but after this and the subsequent lowering of their rating to a D+ already, I personally could never recommend anyone play there. Unless maybe you're a bonus guy or can attack soft lines and figure the risk is worth it I guess. Then again, I have a low risk tolerance when it comes to my bankroll so keep that in mind as well.

    Man, that has gotta suck... Dave thinking he walked away with a C and then get bent over... D might as well be an F... only sites with real traction are C or better and what we are really saying is B or better.... but nice rummaging around in threads from last May...
