    Sending $6000 to 3 differnet Books Tomorrow via **: Good or Bad Idea???
    With Football Season starting I want to fund my books. I will be spreading $6000 to 3 different books. I was gonna send it all at once tomorrow via ** and do a different form for each book at the same ** location. Is this a bad idea for any reason? I know they will want my ID and some info. Is there a difference from doing it all on one day or doing it 3 different days, or doing it the same day but each one at a different location?

    Any advice much appreciated! Thanks

    Best way to do it. Make sure you are using reputable books and they will reimburse you the ** fees.

      Which option would be best assuming $2000 to each book?
      A) go to ** and do 3 forms for 2000 each to each Book(person)
      B) go to 3 **'s, doing 1 form at each
      C) go to the same ** once a day for 3 days doing one form/deposit a day

        I would assume doing all 3 at once would be best. They can see all the transfers you've done anyway on their computer, so why not just get it done at once?

          It is the best way to fund but I worry that $6K in one day will trigger some alarms...... I would try and use ** for one, or send one a cashiers check via fed ex. I've never sent that much, so I'm not sure what you are in for.....

            I hope u r using diffrent sender names.. Most of these books use same processors and they have limits on how much u can send every 8 days. Id check because if it get's held up it's a bitch to get money back.

              This is my concern. I am hoping someone here has done this before and has advice.

                I would not send 3 different $2000 transactions via ** in one day in your name. See if you can use ** for one of them. Maybe send a wire for the 3rd. I can send international wires via online banking without having to walk into the bank. You might check with your online banking and see if you are offered this option.

                      Why not? Just call your books, get the names they want you to send it to and send it. Done it before without any problems. Not sure why these people think they're is a problem. They are in business to send money.

                        Sac, not the best idea. Have you played with these books for awhile. Maybe an established customer? If so, talk to a customer service manager and see if they could accomadate your needs by running a cc. Most places have ways around this.

                          The bottom line is if you do what you say, flags will go up somewhere along the line.

                                  I can only speak for Betjam and this was told to me about 3 years ago by the man there, they have multuiple processers. I'm sure they have now. Ask, tell him the amount. It is worth a try.

                                    To the topic starter, I think it's a great idea. But make they will give you a refund on the ** fee. All trusted books will give you a refund on that.

                                      Personally I would go with 6 books. Sounds like more of a pain but your twice as likely to get favorable lines. Just a thought.

                                                  Sac, I would suggest if you are going to six books adding three of the following:

                                                  Greek
                                                  YouWager
                                                  Matchbook
                                                  BetOnline
                                                  Bodog
                                                  DSI

                                                  Your funds are very safe at all of these places.

                                                  You will find Heritage, 5dimes and BetJam hard to beat however.

                                                    I tried to send Money Grams a week apart and was refused the second one because it was only seven days. I was going to fund four books but now I'm not sure exactly how to go about this. i would not use Money Gram for all your funding with those amounts in one day. Red Flags.

                                                      This was my worry. I have successfully sent 2 **'s of about $900 each at the same time with no problem so I was hoping to be able to stretch it out to $2000 to 3 books. Was your ** sent to the same "Person's Name"?

                                                        Yes it was. It will be nine days today so I may try again. If I'd known about this a would have deposited more with the original deposit. They asked if I had anyone else who could send the $ for me. I passed on that, I can wait if necessary.

                                                          No not a good idea. Spreads your $ way too thin. That's a dime per book. Way too easy to blow one of them right out of the water. Plus payout hassles. 2 dimes in 3 books is much better.

                                                            I made one deposit via Money Gram today with no issues, Same book as nine days ago. Different person and location. I'll just wait till the end of next week to fund another book. No red flags.

You'll almost always send it to one of these places. You simply need receivers name, and city, country. Get the MTCN from your recipt and give it to the book. It might feel a little shady if you havent done it before, but as long as you're using a solid book your money is safe. I've deposited to 5dimes this way many times and its a simple process
