Just alot of controversy around payouts. As a longtime poster at BA, numerous members have had complaints. But if they are good for, then awsome. Just be aware though.

SportingbetAU. I've been with them for a few years and never had any problems. I guess reading about people getting their accounts frozen got me a little bit worried.

The phone calls is what i dislike. I use StanJames now, can live bet with pleanty of options too.

Never heard of StanJames. How are they? Doing live betting without using the phone is probably enough for me to try them out.

They are solid. Live bet on Rugby/AFL/NRL and all soccer.

ALL the accounts u have read about being frozen are all offshore books, i havent heard of 1 person ever say there Australian account has been frozen, if u read a few posts up a few ppl have heard of many thousands being won and paid out with no hassles,

your 2k is very safe, id say as safe as a bank, but no interest

so true about the live betting hassles, but if thats the worst we got i can live with that......

Aussie books located in the Northern Territory will still give bonuses.
Have 7 Aussie books and never had a problem.
I made a $100 wager on Sports Alive recently on a bad line (4.50 corrected to 2.50 - I realise after I placed my bet). Was part of a 3-way arb and hoping it would lose - It won and Sports Alive paid and didn't blink.

are they good for recreational players? I just like to get paid if I win

I would say your funds are very safe with Sports Alive if thats what you are asking.

**Ace_of_Spades** · 11-11-09, 06:09 PM

Aussie books are extremely safe.

sweet!

Sportsalive took a week to pay me last week. It is a busy time of year but for an Aussie book one week makes me wonder about them.

I agree Centrebet used to be one of the best and now they are complete wimps.

your money will be safe at sportsalive - they make take a few days to pay but it will arrive

**Ace_of_Spades** · 11-11-09, 08:55 PM

IASbet pay the day after you complete a withdrawal.
