    Never again Bookmaker
    Said it before, but Bookmaker is A+. Great payouts, great customer service. Easy deposits. No problems whatsoever. I will never use it again. I think it’s their website design that messing me up royally. I’ve lost so much with them.

    As as example, I put $5,000 in with them last week, took me 7 days to make $700. Eventually lost it all.
    Put $5,000 in with Betway Saturday, took me 7 hours to make $7,000. Still up $1,400 from the original amount.

    My betting pattern is the same on both sites but Bookmaker has made me lose huge. What is up with the site? Is it not interactive? Site interface dry? Not enough games?

    My guess is them allowing $25,000 US daily is messing things up. People start off small and think they can get to that amount easily. Or it’s something else…

    Any thoughts? Why can’t I win on Bookmaker yet destroy it on Betway, even Betonline?

      My best guess is that you lack bankroll management. Even the best handicappers will bust if they wager too much per game. With Bookmaker's larger limits, it's tempting to overestimate your edge and bet more than you should. While poor "website design" can be frustrating, I've never known it to cause a bettor to go bust. Afterall, you decide what to bet and how much.

          You make less at one sportsbook than you do at the other, and you're blaming the site? What a strange post.

                          Man it happens. I have never been able to beat heritage. I was probably paying one of their managers salaries for a few years. I had to stop playing there. BOVADA on the other hand I always seem to do well at. Betonline/bookmaker is hit or miss for me. Logically it does not make sense but sometimes you gotta know when to give up. I still deposit at heritage maybe twice a year thinking maybe I’ll make a run one of these days but it hasn’t happened.

                              I feel you on Bookmaker. I can't win there either. Made at least 30k in deposits this year. I kept depositing because of the nice 25% bonus on all deposits they used to offer but have since ended that program. I believe it has to do with a combination of things. For me, I do exclusively live betting so their options are not as robust compared to like a Heritage. Also their grading is a bit slow so it feels like you're missing out on bets when you hit a hot streak. At Heritage, you can utilize the leverage option so your hot streaks become much bigger wins.

                                  How does the leverage option work at Heritage if you don't mind me asking? Sounds interesting.

                                      They will allow you to attach another bet or parlay to a pending play that you have before it is finished. You can use the potential winnings of that pending play to fund the next bet.

                                          That is an incredible advantage! Thanks for sharing!
