    BetUS - any good?
    I'm thinking of giving this book a shot. Has anyone tried them out or are currently dealing with them?

    How are the payouts by check? How many days if located in the U.S.
    Any fees I should be worried about?
    I am primarily a baseball bettor, would this be a good book for it?
    What are the minimum bets allowed?
    Any problems experienced with this book?

    Thanks in advance!

    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.

      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.

        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.

                                  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.

                                      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.

                                        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

                                            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!

                                                        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".

                                                          Betus is only good at the begining for new players.

                                                            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.

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)

                                                                      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

                                                                      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?
