    How's betphoenix/betmania family of books doing?

    We do not hear much on sbr about betphoenix or their family of books (Betmania/Skybook) etc because they are no longer paying sbr forum for advertising but am wondering how they are doing? Do they have any outstanding payout complaints/slowpays?

    I remember sbr john saying that the odds are against them to recuperate financially but have heard no horror stories about them in a long time. Anyone still playing there and/or have good or bad news to report?

    I played there Patty and they paid out but they'll limit you if you're hunting for your soft lines. Limits are 250 at mania.

    We are told two large balance holders who have been waiting this past year are near the end of their payment plan. Another has just finished.

    Does it really matter Patty? If you get your account into the range where they'll have to put you on a payment plan, you'll save them the trouble and bust out like always.

    A good family if you come from a dysfunctional family.

    Think this way. BetPhoenix could have folded like BI two years ago when they were beat by sharps. But they chose to boot Jon and pay those winners, according to info post here. (albeit on payment plan).

    They did do the right thing though... True. What is with certain guys... Jon, Powers and a few others. They got the kiss of death. This business is actually fairly simple...

    Wagerchief is still around I see. Looks like they are still part of Betphoenix family yet we hear nothing about them. Why is that?

    I just got an email today from Mania, I haven't deposited in years with those guys, but seems like they are paying and paying in a reasonable amount of time. Maybe I will make a small deposit with them unless somebody has better info than what is on this thread.

    I have played with them for 5+ years, never a problem. Like this book. Good bonus, good CS, and they pay
