    in theory, matchbook should be the safest b/c they have no direct risk exposure.

    in reality, it might be different due to operational risks associated w/ running a book. however, these risks are not the same. operational risks imo are easier to mitigate than market risks..

    Very true

    What sucks is very few of us, if any, know the true workings and financial stability of any offshore shop.

    Tough business if your a serious sportsbettor roaming the jungles of the offshore world.

    Whilst I don´t think that SBR ratings are 100% objective, I certainly value this service and the opinions of the more serious posters here.

    Pro gambler and reigning 2-time NFL Hilton Super Contest "Fezzik" says "Bet Phoenix is the next Cascade". I doubt he has inside info. Just his observation on the way BP is behaving lately.

    Once Bet Phoenix went to -110 on hoops, they choked off what would have been a mass exodus with transfers to Matchbook by dropping their book to book transfers with them. With cuts in bonuses and max bets, charging full juice, the transfers would be a one way street to Matchbook.

    Matchbook does transfers with all the big boys. BP doesn't.

    Neither-My top 5 list

    The Greek/BetJam is number one-same day or next day payouts
    BookMaker is number two for now (very big and sometimes that becomes an issue) 2-7 day payouts
    Jazz is number three (very solid financially tad expensive) same day payouts
    BetFirstClass/Lines2Bet is number four (money has never been the issue there) same day payouts
    Legendz is number five (solid financially)

    and what thegreat30 said

    Matchbook. Next day MB withdraw. Bp a week and counting With 20K exposure there I don't mind the 30 sec+ delay or even some drastic limit cuts. But at 4k a pop and 3 weeks(!!!!) MB withdraw 4 months to get my balance out equals I can't play there.
