    Ok you may be right thanks for the advise. My opinion and this is through personal experience that if you don't try to play in the gray area you will be fine. Once you cross the line with them you are f'ed. There is a risk there no doubt, i choose to take that risk.

    I take the risk too, but I know what I'm doing. I just don't want some square to go on a run of a lifetime there, make 20k and get it stolen when they can do that at BetJM and get paid without issue.

    I don't look to take advantage of things that are obvious, but I am always worried about bets that are in the gray area. And to be honest, alot of my bets are in the gray area. Not because I am trying to cheat them, but often their lines are so LOL bad that I am always a little bit worried that they are bad lines.

    here is what I'm talking about: not some random line but an in game bet when everywhere in the world says has lakers -6 and you get Lakers +6 they will pay the bet I promise you that but in the end they will **** with you....Just dont do anything stupid IMO and you can take them for 5-8k a month no prob....

I like the sb poker room did well over the last couple months with sports and poker recieved all my winnings but waaay too many issues it seems with the company.

    thanks
    Hey jonal you can have a cake account while also having a sb account, i have both. Back to this *** issue, i had a deposit hit my *** account yesterday from Cake poker but i noticed when requested the transfer from *** to my checking account its taking longer for it to reached "ordered status" it usually reaches that status ina day, and as of right now it still says "new". Has anyone gotten money into their bank account from *** this week?

    Yea, a +6/-6 difference is obvious, but I'm thinking more like in-game moneylines where their line is 5-10% off of what matchbook/pinnacle/etc have. I'm sure it's usually retardation in how they calculate the lines, but when they are off by 10% is where it's borderline-obvious error.

    no shot they will cancel your wager. IN game just don't so something that is obvious. IE (and this does happen) a team that is -240 they put up at +240. They will cancel that bet and HAVE THE RIGHT TO. if the put up -200 and everythwere is -2000. NO NO NO NO. They will take that bet I will be on it. max bet it for 2 dimes no issues at all...

    Sportsbook.com still a rip-off

    Sportsbook.com ripped me off and they'll rip you off too! They should be an "F" book, not D- ... End of story!
