BetUS - any good?

Justin7 · 08-01-10, 11:40 PM

They've taken a turn for the worse as of late. They are screwing professional players left and right. I've recently seen several bonus/limit screwings, and a recent confiscation that is possibly related to correlated parlays. I say possibly, because BetUs declined to give any examples of CPs, and the player denied making them.

zebras99 · 08-02-10, 07:46 AM

I had an account there a long time ago and they've put limits pretty quickly. Heard some bad stories lately so I wouldn't recommend.

mikebell32 · 08-02-10, 12:31 PM

I played there in the past and never had any issues, i guess it depends who you talk with. I want to play there this season for football but i live in Costa Rica now and they told me they can not take my plays because i live here, to me that was a honest answer. I would say that being honest is a good thing and if you are outside Costa Rica play there

BetUS

A poster not too long ago wrote that he ignored the BetUS warnings and foolishly sent them deposit money. He won, BetUS stole it back. Refused to pay.

Stay away from BetUS.

Note: be wary of BetUS supporters with only a few posts to their posting name. They are shameless shills posting from the BetUS boiler room.

They suck. They offered me a bonus and I emailed to confirm I was eligible and they said I was, and then refused to give the bonus.

THE HITMAN · 08-02-10, 06:31 PM

Always have considered them rated B . Beware and be aware.

Stinger · 08-02-10, 07:02 PM

Thanks for the heads up guys

PRC · 08-03-10, 01:00 AM

what is the process for getting a payout? High fees? Do they send checks?

KC · 08-03-10, 06:44 AM

Pass..many many better books out there

bubba · 08-03-10, 11:22 AM

is betus affiliated with sportsbook.com? is betusa affiliated with sportsbook.com? are they affiliated with each other? thank you

jetsjets1028 · 08-03-10, 11:29 AM

prob not

jetsjets1028 · 08-03-10, 11:30 AM

to it being good thats just an assumption

Jakesteen · 08-03-10, 11:37 AM

I closed my account because they sent me a fake check for my payout from a bank in Montreal and I verified that the acct did not exist. So, no I would not send them money. I've heard many stories about them over the years and none of them were good.

blackbeSSt · 08-03-10, 12:14 PM

run fast and far from betus.

hey stinger im betting you are just getting in to betting aren't you?

GGZOLA · 08-04-10, 11:51 PM

the only reason to play here is to scalp...lets not kid ourselves their lines suck balls. But don't get excited, if you do they'll mark you quick and show you the door. They used to be careless and easy to work off, not any more. If you are a square loser, deposit all you want. Win a little or play their props, you are blacklisted immediately. Sometimes I wonder how I lasted so long with them b4 they decided to pull the plug on me.

MTek · 08-10-10, 12:13 PM

I've been with Betus for several years, I'm a small time bettor, mostly football. I've received multiple payouts and never had any issue's
Thier check fee is $50 or you can do a bank transfer.

I learned to decline the bonuses as the rollover is really tough to hit if you make a large enough deposit, of course thats relative to the size of bets you place.

On 2 occasions I made deposits, bet 1 game and requested a payout, both were received without a hassle.

Im not a "shill" you can track my posts and see im all over this site, I've found that for whatever reason SBR is pretty tough on Betus, although I seem to read alot of post about a lot of different books being bad

Good luck with whatever you chose

NicoleNicole · 08-10-10, 01:41 PM

Staw away from this book. Too many problems.

BIGDAY · 08-10-10, 10:51 PM

I have an account there. No issues with withdraws. If you're most interested in baseball, I would find another book. Much better line in other books for baseball. Some dog prices are good though. Just my two cents. Best of luck!

JW Cash · 08-10-10, 10:58 PM

BetUS is a crock.....stay far away from these a-holes....

BetUSA runs on Sportsbook.com's wagering platform and is dependent on them but utilize their own mgt team. BetUs is on their own.

BetUS recently stole $6k from a player who won parlays their system allowed. After he risked his money they said no to his payout. It was a scam. Lose and no-harm. Win and call a foul. They have been on good behavior for a while but were built on cheating winners in the early years.

THEGREAT30 · 08-11-10, 01:29 AM

no, BETUS is not a respected book and has never been no matter how much stuff they send you

Could you please illustrate this opinion with some concrete facts ?

I'm not stating BetUSS is ok or good, but would like to have more facts, and not only "opinions".

chunnnn2010 · 08-11-10, 10:26 AM

Betus is only good at the begining for new players.

skrtelfan · 08-13-10, 07:08 PM

I emailed them to ask about bonus offers, was offered a 100% bonus so I deposited there and emailed back to claim the bonus. They retroactively denied the bonus, claiming that I "had to call for help with my deposit" even though the original email never said anything about needing to call. Stay away from these crooks!

Can you send me all the details on this? I'm doing a vid on them soon, and this is more fuel for the fire.

IrishTim · 08-14-10, 04:29 AM

Not hard to see why they're having problems. Today they had Indiana (WNBA) -4.5 when the rest of the market had -5.5.

DJStroke · 08-14-10, 11:44 PM

I have been with BetUs for a while...requested only one payout and it went smooth (couple hundred). I too got the 100% bonus but I did call over the phone which is probably why. I have heard a lot of horror stories about them, but since my account won't be reaching much over 1 or 2 thousand, I'm not too worried about cashing out. I will be switching books however now that I've learned more about sports betting and that good lines are the best bonus you can receive (which BetUs does NOT have for baseball especially)

Birre · 08-15-10, 12:37 AM

I know for a fact that their are more problems with them. Mainly due to the recent bonus they offered, calling players a non-recreational players or syndicate players for no valid reason.

pauluk · 08-15-10, 06:51 AM

comment of a man who worked at betus about betus..
""
PASS THIS ALONG!

How much do you really know about BETUS.com?
Do you know it for a fact or just by rumor?

Maybe you have an account with BETUS.com or you had one.
Do you remember me?
I'm the account manager you knew as "Sal". The only American
in the whole company.

Well let me give you a taste of the Real BETUS.com.

Remember when your deposit through ** or Money Gram
never got deposited? Then you had to fight for days or weeks to get it fixed, if it got
fixed at all. The money you lost on a bet because the money wasn't put into
your account.
Well Ladies and Germs, here it is.
It's because your deposit was stolen by an account manager. That's right!
Stolen by an account manager who had you send the money in their name or
a relatives name in Panama, Belize, Costa Rica or the Phillipines. Then you got
offered a cock-eyed deal on some "Freeplay" bonus that cost you more money
in the long run.
Ahhhhh! Now that makes a light go off in your head doesn't it.

Account managers plugging in USB's into BETUS.com computers and
copying everything. Everything from your bank info, Credit Card info the
whole nine yards. Using their cellphone to text your credit card info
to their second cellphone to buy stuff later.
Remember that cash advance you sent through ** or
Money Gram to someone you don't even know?
Remember when you bought that stereo, teleivision, camcorder or
digital camera online. But you never got it or even remember buying any
such thing. Then you had to fight with the bank and credit card company
to get your money back; if you got it back at all.

That's right boys and girls, BETUS.com.

Would you like to know more about how the account managers feel
about you the customer?
How about, how some account managers broker drug deals in the USA
using BETUS.com phones and active accounts?

It was a pain in the ass when BETUS wouldn't admit that someone else
accessed your account, made payouts to someone else or made bets that
you didn't make.
Hmmm, wonder who that could have been?

Maybe you'd like to know the real deal on why your credit card didn't work
or got double or triple charged. Then you got offered a cock-eyed deal on
some "Freeplay" bonus that cost you more money in the long run.

How bout that BETUS doesn't EVER pay the commissions to the account
managers on time. Then they're rarely correct.
So the majority of the account managers figure, "What the Hell,
BETUS isn't treating me right, so why should I give a damn".

Do you remember when All those account managers you knew in Panama
suddenly dissappeared? LOL!
Thats because they shut down two weeks before Christmas. Thats right, 2 weeks
before Santa Day. Then didn't pay!
Pay attention to the info I'm giving you.
They didn't pay until after Christmas; then when they paid, they didn't pay all
they owed.
Now they are getting ready to open back up in Panama and they are even re-hiring
some of the same account managers they screwed over, begging them to come back.
The same supervisors who have allowed so much fraud and theft to occur, are being
brought back in to run BETUS.com Panama all over again.

Why do you think that BETUS requires their account managers to change their name?
Thats right, BETUS requires them to have a "Phone Name" in place of their real one.

Do You Think You Know The Real Deal About BETUS.com?

You Don't!

I do because I worked there. If you want to know more you ask me at
betus54@yahoo.com

I'll tell you anything you want to know and I won't lie to you.

BTW! My real name is Tom not "Sal". I'm an American, not Canadian, Panamanian,
Costa Rican or otherwise.
I worked for BETUS for 7 months.
The only thing I learned from them if I actually wanted to steal from people.
Now I know how with no consequences.
After all, who's coming to Costa Rica or Panama to get me.
Hell! The customer doesn't even know my real name.
