BookMaker or BetJamaica?

TobiasFunke · 03-16-10, 12:01 PM

I would put a little in each.

Where are you located? I would roll with both as both are great books.

Bet Jam. is great for USA players don't know much about bookmaker though Bet jam has lightning fast payouts and they grade your wagers within 30 seconds after outcome unless they are late games ending after midnight

Depends on your needs. Bookmaker is for pros. They have large limits and post openers. They also have fees for withdrawals.

BetJM is a more recreational book with lower limits, hardly any overnights, etc. They have free payouts though.

If you're a smaller bettor, I would go with BetJM.

as long as the payouts are in within a week it shouldnt matter that much

What shouldn't matter that much, the fee?

If you're a small-time bettor, paying $50 for a check instead of getting it for free should matter to you.

I get 2 free payouts per month from BM. Even Gold members get 1 free per month.

Sorry, you are correct, you do get free payouts with betpoints.

I was cut off from betpoints so long ago I forgot about them. My apologies.

BetJamaica all the way. I would not play anywhere else.

It depends on your reasons. However as others have said having both is a good idea. I have accounts at both. My motivation for a book is a good SBR rating and then limits. For example, I have NHL limits at Bet Jamaica for $1000 and at BM $5K. So, I carry a bigger Bank Roll at BM.

I might add I have never tested the limits at BM yet. I have found many places that claim a certain limit, but once you try and bet it, all of a sudden those are not the real limits.

THe hockey limits are definitely 5k

I know cause I bet 4.5k on an under in the olympics..... and it went through no problem

i agree

Bookmaker, they'll actually give you the bonus they advertise.

JoeVig · 03-20-10, 07:50 AM

Betjam if you are making smaller plays, BM if you need to bet large.

capitalist pig · 03-20-10, 08:26 AM

I would go with Bet Jam, as far as fast payouts, and customer service go. If you like BM wagering options/limits you should be comparing the Greek to them, not Bet Jam, JMO.

later

BetJam for baseball is a must, bookmaker is on a 20 cent line. Otherwise I'd gladly use them
