    Anyone Play at Intertops?

    I'm intrigued by this book. It's a B+ and looks to offer quite a few leagues with a great number of live bets. The signup bonuses aren't great, but the rest of the book looks solid. Does anybody play here and what are your opinions? Is Livebet pretty good?

    I'm a big fan of Intertops...they're a solid reputable book that I'm surprised isn't talked about more often on here...they have the standard deposit options and also have some others that the A+ rated books don't...free payout once a month by "wire"...yes, by wire...I don't know any other book that does that...the books I've seen charge a lot for wires...certainly beats waiting for a check in the mail and having to go to the bank to deposit it and wait for it to clear...on the negative side, they're juice is kinda crappy...you mostly always can find better elsewhere...if you like to deposit by CC, want fast payouts and are willing to pay a little more in juice Intertops is the place...anyone else feelin the love?

    Been with them since 1998. No problems whatsoever. Only issue is their juice is high.

    Good point. Forgot to mention lower limits as a negative. But still very reliable for deposits/withdraws.

    My experience and opinions basically echo what others have noted here. They were my first online book as I signed up in 1996 so they are very solid and reputable. However, their juice is often laughable for lack of a better word. And their lines are as Vanilla as it gets, as you will always, and I mean 100% of the time, be able to find a better line somewhere else without a great deal of effort.

    Still, you could do a lot, lot worse than this site.

    I say this is one of those books that you won't have to worry about getting screwd, since they been in this game for long time. Their wagering option kind of sux though.

    cons:
    They have the worst payoffs for teasers.
    You can not parlay two different halftime games.
    No If Bets
    Bets closes 5 minutes before start time. Most books gives you that very last second to put a bet in.

    Pros:
    Payout should be processed and received within 7 days. They use to have ** recently, which was processed in two days. Don't know what happened there.

    Great Reloading bonus Promo and Customer service reply's promptly to e-mails.

    I also was intrigued but the limits are low. ie: $500 max to win or to wager, they move their line/s quite a bit throughout a match. For moneyline they usually keep the moving odds up for most of the match which is nice, but then that max bet comes into play.

    Frankly, there isn't a good book out there with soccer in-play for Americano's. If I wanted them for that purpose and max bet limit wasn't an issue I would rate them the best for in-play soccer for US bettors. Although if they would limit you further below $500 for consistently winning, then I wouldn't bother.

    Tomato finds that they take forever to grade wagers.

    Outside of that he finds no problems with this book.

    They are plenty of good book out there with soccer in-play for Americano's.

    all the asians: 12Bet, Mansion88, Sbobet, 188bet
    and European: Bet365, Sportingbet, Bwin

    these books offer live betting on nearly every soccer match in the world, including Ameicanos.

    Wrong. None of those books accept US players without several hoops to jump through. Believe me I looked, and it does take some run-around, but in no way shape or form can I simply sign-up online. Hell, I can't even access some of those books online from the US.

    12bet same song and dance "you are prohibited from your country of residence" Bodog haven't heard much good about them. What is Bodog88, same company same rules same limiting is my guess. Thanks for the list though maybe someday I will be able to play with some of the mentioned sites.

    Does Bodog88 have Live Soccer in-play? It doesn't show on their Live schedule.

    I do not have an account with them as I do not reside in the US abd I can use any of the asian book - so I just checked and they seem to have live soccer but it does not seem that they offer every game like the other asians but they do offer live games of the main leagues... but as far as I know Intertops dont offer many live games either.

    have you tried fun88? they have the same odds as 12Bet

    Same thing with fun88 no can do. I think many use an agent to play with the asians. I haven't researched that. Wish my girlfriend was from another country. I'd actually be persuaded to get married....... sooner.

    Bodog88 just seems to take me directly to the American Bodog, which is pretty crappy and wont accept deposits via credit card, so I don't think that's a good option. Intertops looks like it probably wont fit my needs the more that I look at it. The live betting on some games is nice, but the juice makes it not so worth it for me. Thanks for all the info guys

    Bodog will gladly accept deposits by credit card. The problem is with the card issuer NOT the site itself. I just deposited $500 by credit card but had to call the credit card company to get the transaction authorized.

    With that being said, BoDog doesn't like sharp players and will limit you at some point.

    I was surprised to see a white head coach at Cal considering how politically correct that school is. Wouldn't be surprised if they blame their bowl loss on President Bush.

    They should blame their bowl loss on the sh*tty coach, offensive coordinator and quarterback. That's really all the people that deserve to have Xs on their heads when decision making time about who our personnel will be next year comes.

    Hey there,

    Bodog88.com is owned and operated by Haydock Entertainment, the Asian facing BodogBrand.com licensee. It is a different company than MMGG (Bodog.com) and Bodog Europe (Bodog.co.uk and Bodog.ca).

    Thanks!

    Intertops must be going broke. They don't even put up your balance at the top of the page anymore. I also noticed no bonuses for Thanksgiving or New Years. They used to have them every year but not this year.

    I haven't bet at Intertops in a while because my limits are low and I bet a lot of soccer and as others have said, their soccer vig is ridiculous (I've seen totals with lines like ov+115 un-185). I just tried to log into my account to see if I couldn't see my balance, and got a notice that "they've recently changed my password and I need to enter my email address to get my new password." Entering my email address then sent me to an error page. It's really bad form for a book to change your password without telling you and then having their system broken so you can't retrieve the new password--I'd be SOL if I were trying to make a bet quickly or bet an overnight line, since their customer service is surely closed at this hour.

    You can but you can only fund with wire or a Chinese Debit Card.
