    Always late on lines, but you can sometimes get a full point better on dogs, so worth it. Would not be a realistic option for anybody if it wasn't for that.

    Ok guys after 5 days with them here's my pros n cons

    PROS:

    1. DEPOSIT -

    2. LIVE IN GAMES - On most/all NBA games. European Bkball/Soccer/HK too

    3. European Sports - If you like Over seas sports. Aussi, European/Asia. Its great. Even live games on them too.

    4. Customer Service - TOP NOTCH! You call, they help....End of discussion!! Example; I can't deposit for some reason... call.... they try it for me... still can't.... they recommend me to do this n that...They're great!

    5. GREAT PARLAY ODDS - If you are a parlay player like me... this book is for u!




    CONS:

    1. NOOOOOO Overnight lines - This gets me! I waited all night, nothing appears until 2 hrs b4 tip off on Saturday!!

    2. You can't parlay "ADDED" Games - Example; Wofford v Elon. Southern Utah v. E. Washington. Those games are circle and you can only bet them straight. No Totals/No 1st half/2nd half on those Added games either.

    3. No Live chat option - Its nice to have but... they email you on the spot, u can chat with them via email if u dont' want to call them. They said its 24/7 call..... but I never really call them at 3 am b4

    4. Oversea Games took them long to grades - I won and lost on their live bet. They graded my losing tic on the spot alright, but took them like 2 hrs to grade the winning tix.... and it was on the same game!!

    Overall, It is a good book, just the cons on Parlaying added games I don't like

    Didn't collect yet so dunno how that is

    ​Will play with again? YES!!

    Pros:
    Their payouts are really fast right now. Says 7-10 business days, but Fedex has been coming over in like 3 days.
    The poker games are anonymous which I actually kind of like a little because I don't know about a ton of software like the pros do on other sites.

    Cons:
    They post lines slow. Whenever I want to take a dog they usually have it getting an extra 1/2 point, but then the juice is like a 25cent line and it doesn't make me want to pay it. There's no alternate lines to where I can receive less or anything to make it go down to -110.


    Also there are no player transfers. If you intentionally go in a heads up game and transfer chips to a friend in which you're not cheating or anything you can get banned. They won't transfer chips over the phone either. I signed up a couple friends to Bovada saying how much I like them, but they didn't want to give their driver licence.. I said they can transfer chips through heads up poker. Anyways, their money is gone.

    If you'r doing everything legit, then it should be fine, but they will ask for your bank information and your I.D.. They don't always ask, but they will sooner or later.

    It's a little scary to keep a lot of money through these books because if they wanted... They could just take it. Like I said I doubt they would, but I would be a little nervous having a lot on it. You wouldn't want to call them and they say you have nothing in your account like it's happened to some of my friends.

    Lol I doubt it. Bovada might do faster payouts, but that's if they pay you lol.

    What a scam book.

    ^My bad. Just don't win all the time through promotions. If you mix it up you should probably be fine.

    I thought they might just close the account and pay you your winnings, but no.... It really depends who is dealing with your payout. One might decide to not pay you or another might give you the balance.
