    Has Bookmaker gone rogue?

    Just read something on Sportsbook Gurus dated October of last year saying Bookmaker has gone rogue and to avoid it at all costs. Anybody know what's going on? Is there any truth to this?

    So you joined SBR yesterday to tell us about something you read 4 months ago about one of the consensus top books out there, and how that book should be avoided?

    Well done. Thanks for your relevant contribution.

    betislands had a similar warning that went ignored. I do not believe that bookmaker went rogue because they still call me and send e-mails with their bonus information which costs money, and I never take bonuses. I do think that all information should be heard though, so that we can all make a rational judgement for ourselves.

    He actually just read it and it was dated four months ago. OP why not post a link? If they had gone rogue four months ago I am sure SBR would be flooded with pay out complaints by now. Please post link

    Bookmaker is A+, they paid a player 125,0000 $ on a parlay.

    Canada will be as hot as the Caribbean before BookMaker bails out.

    Thanks for the info.

    Turns out I signed up at Betmaker with a different username than my Bookmaker account, so they transferred Betmaker funds to a new Bookmaker account (Betmaker username with a letter "L" at the end). Straightened out now, it's all good.

    Rogue or not; Anyone using Bookmaker, definetely hates money. Bad odds, bad lines, high juice,ugly interface. Everything sucks. There's much better books then Bookmaker.

    False. Although generally they are full juice everywhere, there are also many times they have the best price.

    check out posts #24/25 dealing specifically with what's available to USers

    5dimes is best single book u could have (but if u absolutely MUST avoid them...youwager is a better choice than bookmaker/ds for your main-action book, IMO)
