    Bank Wire Questions
    I have accounts at almost all the sportsbooks. Thegreek, matchbook, 5Dimes, betjamaica, bodog and bookmaker.

    I have not deposited in a while because it has been hard to deposit.

    I know people say to use moneygram/**. I have used that to fund my accounts but i would like to deposit a bigger amount around $2000-$3000. I remembered i did this easily with ** 2-3 years ago and deposited 2k into matchbook and 2k into wsex easily and the last time i deposited with ** i recalled the max i could deposit at one time was $900 every 8 days.

    My question is do the books all the books like 5dimes, thegreek, bookmaker, bodog, betjamaica and bookmaker accept bank wires? How much does it cost to do a wire? I heard it takes 2 days max for people. I also have a bank of america checking account. Would that be a big problem?

    Do i have to pay the fees for bank wires because i read sportsbooks cover the fees for some i think. However, don't you have to pay bank of america for it or does the sportsbook mean by them covering the fees, that they will pay the bank wire fees you had to pay for BoA? What is the maximum amount for a bank wire?

    The books i want to deposit into are 5dimes and matchbook. Their lines are much better than the other books in terms of baseball. However, i only have $50 reduced juice max for 5dimes.

      If you promise to stop chasing steam (or whatever it is you did) then I bet they would up your limits a bit.

          I wouldn't hold your breath on that. In fact, it may do more harm than good. Once they determine you're sharp, they're unlikely to do you any favors. That's bee my experience and the experience of other sharps I know at least.

            Bank wires run $25-40. Most books will cover them if you wire a reasonable amount. If you are wiring less than $300 or whatever, why bother.

            Many banks will let you wire online once you have an established repoir with them. Some will even let you call them in. Usually for that feature you have to have personal banking which means $10-25k in the bank.

            Bank wires can take up to 3 days. Most are done in a few hours. If you go to a main branch in a major city (NYC, Chicago, etc) and the book uses a major bank (RBS, BMO, etc) you'll have the money in minutes. If the book uses Bank of Guatamaula it will take a few days. Most the major books use major banks.

            Good luck.

              I didnt get the 50 reduced juice limit for steam lol. I got it because i chose the freeplay bonus as oppose to the reduced juice a few years ago. I'm a loser in all the sportsbooks. I would estimate my losses from all the books mostly 5dimes and matchbook which is an exchange is around $12000 or so the last few years.

              I want to wire at least $1500. Want to win back my losses from all those years slowly. Also, I'm a feel gambler. I don't do any math or sharp like any of you guys. I just pick who i think will win the game etc so I won't ever have the problems you guys are having.

                Do these books include 5dimes? I just want money in 5dimes and matchbook b/c their lines are better in terms of baseball juice since only mlb is the sport there is to bet now and no football.

                  Ask the books directly. They want your money. They will help you.

                    So are bank wires going to be free then? I will be depositing at least $1500. Most likely around the $2000-$3000 range.

                      Are you not reading the responses? Your bank will charge you a small fee. If you are depositing what you say you are, Matchbook and 5 Dimes will certainly reimburse you the fee.

                      Like John said, ask them directly.

                        Spoke with 5dimes right now. They don't have the bank wire option for deposits. They tell me to use ** and max is $1500 which is fine. They said it used to be $850 or so like it was last year but now it increased. For **, its $2450 though but I heard many bad stories about **.

                        Can someone tell me about the FEDEX cashier's check? A guy here in this forum mentions its a great way to deposit.

                          Go to your bank, ask for cashier's/certified check, fedex it to book.

                            Yup. Just that simple. Would add write the book first for the address to send it to and the name to which they want it made out.

                              Does it cost me any money to get a cashier's/certified check from bank of america?

                              Would you say fedex it is better than bank wire? I know Fedex there is insurance but am i insured if i sent $2500 to that book if the mail somehow gets lost?

                              Thank you.

                                Make sure you ask if they will credit you upon receipt of the check. A lot of forged checks going around these days. The book may not credit you until it clears which could take 3 weeks or more.
