    Does anyone have anything bad to say about Wagerchief?

    The support for this, non-top rated book, has been huge. I've ONLY heard good things. I'm normally not the cynical type, but there has to be SOME negatives to this book. Anyone have anything!?

    I signed up for an account at WC with the intentions of using a SBR freeplay there just to test the book out, and within a couple days, a CS rep just gave me a $50 FP for nothing. No strings attached.

    Here is my worry, take it as you like:

    Sports-1 was a betphoenix family book the collapsed betphoenix bailed them out great good job, BP but still a book in your famil failed, the BP has been pumped hard and they had issues, site always down, slow pays, accounts missing money, CS contradicting each other etc, ok so they have problems now wagerchief another book under the same umbrella is being pushed hard and getting good reviews but the history of its two predecesors does not give me hope.... nothing stopping wagerchief from folding and then suddenly they just start a new book and push it hard until it fails and so on and so on, for the record I used BP for a few months with no complaints myself and currently have a wagerchief account but have never funded it because of the bad press this family of books has had recently play with caution but you may experience no issues

    They haven't been around very long. They got a quick B based on Phoenix; a fast way to rise in the rankings. So you would need a couple of years to determine their stability. They're off to a very good start.

    And looking for negatives at all costs is a desirable quality?

    I've been playing there for about a month and have no complaints to this point, plan on making a withdraw next week at some point so will leave feedback on that when it takes place. Like I stated in another WC thread, I have no complaints but I wish they would have some better prices on foreign sports such as tennis and soccer but I have other outs for that so now that big of a deal. It is hard to pass up the free half point in basketball they offer, great bonuses, and the solid customer service area they got over at WC. If the payout goes smooth when I submit my request next week at some point, I will continue to play here without a doubt.

    Yes, because asking on a forum, whether any negative feedback on a sportsbook exists, is definitely expending all costs. Anyway, that's my last response to you. Have the last word, cheers.

    Nope, I certainly can not and wish nothing but the best for the chief as well as every book under the phoenix brand. It is a good sign when the only negative that can be found against the book is speculation that at some point it may run into issues other books in the family have. Hopefully whatever caused problems for the others in your group has been discussed and problems figured out so that they can be fixed elsewhere and also never be a factor at WC. Good luck, keep up the good work and hopefully I'll feel confident throwing in some money soon and seeing why you guys are being spoken so highly of for myself.

    The only negative is that they'll call you constantly until you ask them to stop, but at least they call you at reasonable hours, unlike BetPhoenix.

    Yea i signed up to play some SBR contests and they gave me a $50 free play for no reason. It was real and I cashed out $200 and everything. The people there were very nice, it's a very good book. They give out free plays for no reason if you have used their sister sites before

    I use them and like them jumped from bet jamica bc this place took my Amex but for a negative I think the site is kinda bush league needs some work on graphics and overall something better to look at. Maybe score updates things like that. It's very basic

    WagerChief is not a stand alone site in the BetPhoenix family; meaning if you bet the limit for a game at BP, you can not bet any toward the same play at WC...

    For that reason, I do not deposit with WC, no point... Well, accept to get another bonus for a first time deposit, but I am still working on the over $225K rollover from BP.

    BOL

    the only negative I have found so far is that there is no "risk $ amount" button when placing a wager. it drives me crazy when I'm playing a favorite for my balance. I have to keep guessing on the win amount!

    other than that, they have been solid so far!

    Only down side is I don't like their layout. You don't know your limit on each line.

    Click the buypts/pitchers button on the upper right hand corner of the main page.That should solve your problems.

    Deposited around $9k I believe, got the bonus and then applied the x14 Rollover... So, my roll over was around $225K... I only have $168K left to go

    Of course, I am also working on the $74K rollover from Bet Guardian... plus a few smaller ones... Gotta love bonuses

    Their MLB lines aren't very good. They advertise a dime line but it graduates to a 20 cent line very quickly, ex. they're currently dealing MIL -154/WAS +135 and BAL +142/OAK -162.
