    Why so many books ahead of Heritage in ratings?

    They do what they say they will do and they do not have complaints?

    I mean BetPhoenix is a B+ and they can't even keep there website up...

    Tony with 5 dimes is still jerking everyone around that actually is willing to listen to his bullshit.

    next thing you know Cascade will be an A book again!!!!

    Heritage should be an A- at minimum.

    The should be A+, by far the best book out there. You will get paid, the best customer service, not one book can come close to what they do for me. They are an all around perfect operation. When you hear people bash them, it is people that probably don't play with them.

    I agree, I am happy they are not a sponsor and I would hate to see them on sbrodds as well.. I want it to stay just the way it is.

    just to add little more to this comment, so for person like me, I would give them B+ base on what I hear others saying.... no experience with them so can't give them anywhere near A+

    far as I can see, they have limited offerings and limited funding. By limited offerings I mean a lack of props. By limited funding I mean no e-money, not even moneybookers.

    And they accept limited clientele. What is that all about, they think that keeps feds out that want in? I don't understand that part either.

    All of which are negatives. Doesn't make them a bad book, but doesn't make them a great book either.

    all valid points, they are certainly "different". Wont allow me to refer people, cause i haven't played there long enough.

    I do think Heritage is an A+ Book for the lucky ones, myself included, who are allowed to play there. They are expanding their customer base slowly so that they can continue to provide top notch service to current clients--according to Kyle at Heritage. By next football season, I'll bet they will be able to take on many more new people.

    OK, so I am one of the "lucky ones".

    I can play there. But I don't.

    I don't see any unique offers (compared say to BetPhoenix, which does occasionally express an opinion), lines see very cookie cutter.

    Limited props, if any, on most events.

    What am I missing? Friendly customer service people are great, but bottom line is betting.

    1) Get out of your bet at halftime for free (twice per month).

    2) Lose your first deposit and they replace it for free

    3) Even money teasers on 2 team/ 6 points

    4) 14/5 on two team pars ( if you switch to 108 lines on straights)

    5) Lines that move a bit slower than other Books

    That's one book I've never had anything to do with
    Looks to me that they offer only American sports ?

    Only have good things to say about them. Low rating is a mystery to me. If I had to pick a top 5 Heritage would be in it (along with Matchbook, Pinny, 5Dimes, and Oly).

    Does this by chance include NBA sides or better yet college hoops totals? I just signed up before football season.

    When I signed up, just prior to this FB season, I was given -107 lines. I was later offered 14/5 on pars if I switched to -108 lines, which was a fair trade-off for my playing style. As far as basketball goes, this will be my first season doing hoops with Heritage. I assume I'll get 14/5 on pars and 108 straights in that sport as well.

    No, I mean I get -110 on teasers and -107 on straight bets currently. If I switch to -108 on straight bets will I get +100 on 2 team 6 point NFL teasers? Would be more than worth it for me.

    Teaser prices will be the same regardless. BTW, even money is for 2 college or 1 col/1 nfl or same game NFL (side with total). 2 NFL sides would be -110.

    If a sportsbook is so exclusive, it can not be rated high.

    No question. And yet, they're not even mentioned on the SBR sportsbook bonuses page:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/Spor...s/default.aspx

    I can guarantee you that in the good old days someone from SBR would have responded in this thread. There would have been an explanation, or a response that they were looking into it, from either Bill Dozer or SBR John. The forum is 100x more crowded now, but the silence is deafening.

    Then Pinnacle should be downgraded with that thinking. They are excluding the entire US market.

    Isn't there a huge difference ? It's one thing to exclude due to laws of a country. Does Heritage even accept clients from outside US/Canada ? I am not saying they should open up. But, they can't be rated very high as long as they continue this policy.

    5dimes gets alot of knocks on closing peoples accounts for some pretty strange reasons. 5 dimes gets a lot of bad customer service posts... Sure you get paid, but is the hassle worth it?

    Why is that there are many highly rated books that don't take US clients anymore.

    Heritage's bonus program has never been done by other sites that paid on time and didn't either a. fold or b. scam you.

    Yes they do, they accept clients during special periods,where they grow there business. There are a couple of reasons for this.

    Higher retention
    Less scam players (people who take shots at books)
    More reliable/regular clientel

    It could also be due to funding... would you rather they let in everybody and when you call them the phone just rings off the hook because all of there cs is busy?

    And It probably isn't expensive to get a couple more employees but.. then they need a bigger office and more computers and desks and another manager and more phone lines... anyways you can see where I'm going with this...

    Small can be a good thing (or so my girlfriend says lol)
