Checking out BetUS, I was looking at the Clemson/Auburn game. Auburn was -7.5. I log into my account, scroll down and it shows Auburn -8.5.
Never seen this before, what's the deal?

I believe BetUs has dual lines. Time to switch to a better book.

What good would it do them to give Auburn a BIGGER line when I log in. Trying to discourage me from betting on them? I'm guessing they have a TON of plays on AUB.

Yep, dual lines. They have you profiled as a sharp.

It has always done that to me. It's stupid. Sometimes you can get underdog lines better that way lol

Well it's funny, I was actually eying the Clemson line. The bump up to +8.5 HELPS me

Yeah, wouldn't say strong though. I just know that team better than any. I see them losing by 7-10. I likely won't touch. The UNDER is what I'm looking at now. It's at 54.5, waiting to see if it goes up to 55.

BetUs actually pulled some stupid shit on me. I was banking over there, I put in 200 and took it to about 800 in about 2 months. All of a sudden, my account blocked. Turned out they flagged my CC and wanted me to send in proof of my CC and ID. When I did this, they claimed that I tried to use another CC before this deposit went through and that CC was declined, and the also need a photo copy of the declined CC.
I was like WTF?
I told them they are confused and I could not have used two CC cause I only have one to begin with.
Long story short, them niggas stiffed me.
F- book IMO

There are legit offshore books out there. Your money should be safe with any top rated SBR book. BetUS is widely regarded as one of the worst books around.

You would think with all the advertising they do they would make SURE they are legit. Quickest way to go out of business is running a sketchy operation.
I've now read bad things about just about EVERY book. Just finished up checking out a bad one about 5 Dimes, which I thought was one of the best

Most of the complaints with 5dimes has to do with betting future or prop bets at bad odds. If you just play sides and totals on sports you shouldn't have any problems. I don't think anyone has complained about not getting paid from them.

doubtful. back in the day when i first started betting i lost hundreds of dollars there and they pulled this shit with me. never won anything. so unless they have a very loose definition of what a sharp is, they are just shady as fvck and need to be avoided.

I got profiled to a dual line set immediately after my deposit at BetUS. I'm not sure how they profiled me but I hadn't even placed a bet yet and was getting different lines.

Auburn wasn't the sharp side.
I think they used to deal dual lines with anyone that signed up through that Morrison tout. They would adjust lines based on what his system plays were. I don't know if that still goes on or not.
