Main difference between Thegreek and Betjamaica?

[dynamite140]

The good thing about BetJamaica is that they allow 1 free withdraw a month. The greek withdraw by checks are $10 by regular mail from what i recall. I think betjamaica lines are a bit better i think.

I always hear people say for bigger players go with thegreek and go with betjamaica if you are a small to average bettor. What do you guys classify as a big bettor in terms of amount per game? Because when i checked out their wagering limits, i see that the maximum wager you can make on an NFL spread is $5,000 and $3,000 for a total. However with the greek, its $3,000 and only $1,000 for a total. Even for MLB both books have a maximum wager for $3000 on the moneyline.

I am confused to why people say that thegreek is for big players and betjamaica the sister site is for smaller players and recreational players and the limits are pretty similar and betjamaica has higher limits than the greek for NFL which is probably the sport where the most money is wagered.

Greek puts up early lines.

The Greek handles professional players, meaning that if you win consistently there you won't have your limits cut or be shown the door. Betjamaica is perfectly willing to take big losers, hence the higher limits, but don't want professional action.

Not quite.

[dynamite140]

Is someone that just makes regular plays but for bigger amounts considered professional? Meaning they probably just bet 5-15 minutes before an NFL game starts and their plays are not considered sharp. Like your average joe except he is betting $2000 on the game because he likes the play so much such as he loves the Cowboys -3 points etc or bets the Browns +3 because he is fading the public.

[jackkkk2009]

But thegreek has higher limits on us major sports. And they welcome any kind of players..

[shalom]

I don't know how that works on Betjamaica but im really disappointed with Greek, they charge me 5% of my deposit.

I open a thread with that.

[dynamite140]

Would you guys say its better to have money at thegreek or betjamaica? Also, would you consider their lines vanilla? I check their lines and they are pretty much like bodog's lines for nba in the majority of the games and are -110 too whereas 5dimes has reduced juice. Or is vanilla just meaning 20 cent baseball lines? Pretty much all books are -110 for sides and totals for the nfl and nba besides 5dimes reduced juice and matchbook. Does anyone know how much higher in higher limits is thegreek compared to betjamaica?

[coilinsud9]

early lines and more sports

[dynamite140]

The only sport i bet are NFL, NBA and some MLB maybe. And no i never bet any early lines. Pretty much bet them within 30 minutes before gametime.

[Sawyer]

TheGreek puts lines very early. Betjamaica puts Total lines too late.

TheGreek is not good for baseball.
Betjamaica's baseball lines are 10cent.

So,

Use Betjamaica during baseball season.
Use TheGreek for your other needs.

This. and BetJam's loyalty bonus is especially nice for players who churn. BJ is also not as sensitive to 15 minute prior to game time action. When Greek asks you to leave, it is done with the utmost respect and kindness. Got to give them that.

[Johnpoints]

Other than using BJ during baseball season, there really isn't much of a difference for 99% of players.

[Sawyer]

But personally, I really like Betjamaica's interface. Much better then Greek's boring black screen
Bookmaker's interface is also very poor.

[dynamite140]

Besides baseball, are you guys saying that the NFL, NBA lines are pretty much the same? Because i always notice thegreek has -115 for some nba games whereas its almost always -110 on both sides on betjamaica.

[gangeriver]

like betphoenix and wagerchief. betphoenix doesn't offer free payout but wagerchief does.
I will never use greek because this morons doesn't offer ** or ** payout to europans.nonsense

[Sawyer]

Betjamaica's Nickel Juice thing for NCAA is cool but you have to wait 'til friday..

[Mr. Jones]

Betjam is a good shop but useless for soccer.

[DIF]

The greek is sportsbookbetter book IMO and safer. Long in business, bonuses available for europeans, tennisodds, higher betting efforts, soccer-odds but betjam, you can find some goodies but for smaller amount (good sportsbook for reacreational players)

[dynamite140]

How much max per bet would you guys say is for the Betjamaica bettor since they are a recreational player? Like if your bet size is $500 and below, go with betjamaica but if its $500 and above go with thegreek. Would this statement be correct since i assume thegreek takes bigger wagers? I mean is that number a good ballpark number?


Are there people that bet minimum $1k per game at betjamaica regularly and never have problems even if they win? I know they get booted as heard from some people and get shown the door and tell them to go the greek. I want to know the maximum amount one would be able to wager at betjamaica without problems.

Thanks.

[dynamite140]

Bump anyone can answer my last question?

[ABEHONEST]

Don't forget, as big as they are, there is nothing but 10cent lines on Foots and Baskets.
And, their bet screen is 100 years behind the times!

[Monte]

Greek has just put out the lines for next NFL week, earlier than BM, there is your difference.

[Stumpage]

BJam will put you on delay eventually, of around 25 seconds. Will also cut your limits on props for example, to the point where it is useless to bet on them.....

[RonPaul2008]

If you play steam at the Greek they will limit your online to 500 and kick you out completely if you continue to do it.,....however, they never put a delay on you. Jamaica will put a delay on you.
There are a lot more betting options at Greek. Jamaica sometimes has some nice halftime offers that differ from Greek. No reason not to use both imo.

JM doesn't boot (at least not the sharps I know), but they do put a delay on your account and sometimes limit you a bit.

The Greek has the best interface imo (other then Pinnacle).

It depends on your definition of "boot," BetJam pretty routinely "sends people upstairs" to The Greek, i.e. they tell you your action isn't rec enough for them but they invite you to open an account with the Greek if you don't have one already.

[impper]

when exactly does bet jamaica send you upstairs to the greek? like what are the parameters, the winning limits, etc., or do they just track how often you beat the line and/or make +ev plays and so on?

[Peeig]

Greek has mo' proppingz than the Bet Jamm-aye-ka

[dynamite140]

i like to know as well what impper asks. How much money would they boot you assuming you are not betting steam etc.

Also, if one was to get booted from betjamaica to the greek, would they transfer that amount to your greek account or would they send you your whole balance by check or bank wire etc and then tell you to deposit into the greek?

[dynamite140]

[LegitBet]

Good thread
I often wondered same question
Free payouts is real important for alot of players
