BetOnline for baseball anyone?

[bigboydan]

I was just looking looking at what they have to offer for the 2008 MLB season, and I must say I'm a bit disappointed that they don't offer team totals.


Here are just a few of the things that they will be offering.

Overnight Lines: Yes
Reverse Run Lines: No
5-inning lines: Yes (ML & Totals)
Reduced Juice Totals: No
Grand Salami Totals: Yes
Team Totals: No

Here are their money line breakdowns:

.10 up to -189
.15 up to -199
.20 up to -209
.30 up to 224


BetOnline currently have no complaints levied against them and no processing issues to speak of at this time, which is a positive these days. The limits are $2,000 (Sides & Totals) which isn't bad at all really, however they will collar you if you start to beat'um up at a pretty good clip (recreational book).

Their are a couple of things I don't like is that they charge $50 for fedex checks and they don't do book-to-book transfers. (Sucks they don't accept [iSBRFORUM]Moneybookers[/iSBRFORUM] for Canadians).


What do you guys think ?

What do you guys think ?

I'm too scared Vito from Little Italy will come over to muscle me around if there's any problems. Not rolling the dice but you're in St. Louis, right? There's no wise guys out there in your neck of the woods, maybe a few homies though.

I would not worry about that aspect of things crazyl. They seem to offer a first class type treatment to it's customers from what SBR poster Katstale posted back on 2/27/08.

way overrated, pass

[Rollins08]

I think there underrated. They pay really fast and they've gotten a lot better with customer service.

I think there underrated.

I wouldn't go that far sir, however I do feel they might be worth playing at for baseball though. Well, at least till they cut your limits.

I will certainly be advising a friend to play with them for baseball. And fully expect 5Dimes-esque service when they realize that handing money to them by the cartload is not in the business plan.

[katstale]

As mentioned above, their customer service is good. They are even nice when they collar you.

I believe their B+ rating would be justified if they offered Moneybookers and/or some book to book options.

BBD, maybe you can hit them up again with these concerns?
As I have said many times--why be haters on those Canadians? Offer Moneybookers. Hell, if BJO can do it--surely you can too?!

Don't bother playing with them unless you plan on losing because if you win they will first cut your limits then boot you, and it will not take long, if you win. The following didn't happen to me but I heard they started requiring you to provide a copy of your identification card before they will send your money thus holding your money hostage. Not the group of guys you want to have a copy of your identification, if you know what I mean. Bottom line is they want losers playing with them only they don't like winners, there are better books if you plan on winning.
