    Betus=old tricks again
    The scene: BetUs promised a free play of $25 if you play the last 5 big college bowl games for $25 or more. I did so, but, of course there is no credit in my account as of yet. Sent 3 e mails, 1-7, 1-8 & 1-10 each answered with a form reply that said my ticket (? I guess that means e mail) is being reviewed and will be answered accordingly. Never got an answer or credit.
    Seems they can never shake that old lousy NASA image.........
    No, I will never ever deposit there, I am playing with old winnings.
    As usual with them, beware & be aware.

            Total crap book. No one playing any money who is informed plays there. This the bottom line on BetUS.com. They don't pay big winners.

              BetUS paid me 5k in ... 3 days. I don't know of anyone that has been stiffed.

              re: the freeplay issue. Check your account, is it in there now?

                    Their aggressive promos get them in trouble. If you are sharp do you still get the free $25? They will write a 'no sharp action' rule on some of these promos. What is sharp action? Anyone who wins of course.

                      BetUS has made a lot of progress in the last 3 years. I have had some very good discussions with them regarding philosophical issues - how do you deal with a sharp that is kicking your a**?

                      I handle most (if not all) of the BetUS complaints, and I haven't seen a single one handled unfairly in my time here. The BetUS of many years ago might have been an abomination back then, but I haven't seen anything that would keep me from playing there now (and I have played there in the last year).

                        hey Justin, I never played @ BetUS before so I have no idea how fast/slow their payout is.. however, they know you are one of the "big dog" at the SBR and you are the one who handle all the complaints. So of course, they will make sure not to delay your payout. My guess is even if your payout was requested way after someone elses', yours will get process first.

                          I don't think they knew my affiliation with SBR when I played.

                            Almost exactly what was said about Bet on Sports (and others) that eventually ripped everyone off. Sorry but BetUS is not a place I'd be sending any post-up money if I was a player.

                                No comment. SBR is lucky to have Justin, BetUS too. He does not hold grudges against books that have a history of ripp offs. I would agree their complaints are way down. Is K King still running that place? I'd like to see maybe a Justin and K King interview.

                                    Naw, no pay, but thanks for asking.
                                    I realize the amount is small, and I really don't need it. But it's the principle issue. Maybe this post can save someone else a headache.
                                    Like I mentioned, they are a B rated book, no doubt. Beware & Be aware.

                                          Thanks, man...........it's no great shakes. I am playing there with some winnings from lonnnnng ago that just seem to increase with time. I should just take it out and leave, but I enjoy taking them for a few hundred a year. And I play in some of the contests that they sponsor. My mainstays are Betj, Carib, Greek, Betonline, Legendz, Dimes & to an extent Bookmaker. More problems with Betus than all of the others put together !

                                            sharp players - anyone who wins is right. i can't stand that these companies are in the business of taking action on sports and simply turn people away or punish them for actually winning. even a "sharp" is lukcy to hit 60+% at seasons end, and for everyone of him there are naturally 3 players with 30% win pct. rackets!

                                              They don't not pay...most people...but they charge excessive fee's if you win compared to what they tell you when you deposit with them.

                                              That is essentially Bait and Switch
