    betus

    OK maybe im an idiot or maybe im on to something. Whenver I go to the live lines on sbr it shows -8.5 for syracuse tonite on BetUs. when i go to betus website and check out the line it is -8.5. However when I log into betus my line is now -9.5. whats up with this? I have read posts before where they were involved in giving different lines to different customers.

    Haha, I just called to talk to my account manager there about it. You should hear the nonsense they gave me. Needless to say I will be depositing into another book soon. Its pretty annoying that totals in ncaab dont come out until right before the game. Im very busy sometimes meeting with clients etc and would love to make my picks the nite before or first thing in the morning but with Betus sometimes that is an issue.

    BetUS and Bodog both deal "dual lines". BetUS actually has a 3rd set they use for people that go there through a JM referral. Beat it up until you get the default lines, then beat them up other ways.

    They advertise fake lines that nobody can get to attract customers. I got switched to different line feed immediately after I deposited there. I would say at least half of my bets there get rejected with this "the line has moved" crap even though the line isn't really moving at that time. In addition to the fake line feed, they'll also hang lines that can only be bet on one side. So they'll hang something like Celtics -6/Pistons +6 when the line has been -5.5 all day. If you try to bet the Celtics, they'll give you the -6. If you try to bet the Pistons, they'll give you "the line has moved" notice and say "the new line is +5.5."

    I think they actually have more than 2 sets of lines, or else how come I never got the lines they publicly advertise before I even made a bet there?

    As do I, I just wanted to get some action in for the NFL playoffs! Hindsight is always 20/20. It just cost me $40 for a courier check with them. Where as some books offer free payouts. To anyone who is listening, stay away from BetUS! Their lines SUCK and so does their payout charges & courteousness...

    I find the customer service to be decent but they are full of it. They placed a 60 day hold on my account even though I met the 6 time rollover. Another delay tactic hoping you blow your wad...which I nearly did btw. Deposited 250 they gave me 100% bonus. I turned the 500 into 2.6K. I took a few big hits and was back down to 200...(my fault I know but if I would have been able to take my money I would have cashed out a few weeks ago) I have managed to work back up to 800....Im hoping to get back up to 1K and get the hell out. They are indeed a terrible book. Oh yeah and it will cost you nearly 50 bux to get your money. WTF!!!

    Hello fellow SBR fans. Since I've been placid the last few days, I'd like to start my weekend rant by saying that BetUS is the ass pirate of the on-line sport book industry!!!

    So you can't use their lines to your advantage. Like fake them one way and bet the other way with extra points? How about sign up with Sports Betting Champ and bet the opposite of the lines they expect you to. Do they have counter-measures against it?

    In my experience, the "other way" is always some vanilla line you can find anywhere.

    For the record, I did receive my check from BetUS in 7 days but due to all the bullshit I had to wade through to process that payout I am finished with that book. My advice, place your wagers somewhere else...

    About 2 years ago when I was playing there I got a call from a Cust. Service Rep telling me that my password had been changed. They told me that my password is the exact same except for the fact that it now has a "b" infront of it. I think I got switched over to the "B" set of lines. I thought it was really wierd but nonetheless didnt know about any line manipulations. Now I understand.
