With that kind of bankroll why not just bet at a land based casino in either Nevada or elsewhere?

Aside from convenience, that option isn't available to players in many parts of the world.

Also, one poster says he's closer to 6 figures than to 5 figures. Not sure what that means either. Logically, it means the poster has over a million dollars, as if he had 6 figures you wouldn't say you are "close" to it.....so he has to have over a million.

Don't really understand that statement
5 figures surely means between 10,000 and 99,999?
6 figures means between 100,000 and 999,999 doesn't it?

Yes...that is my understanding as well....so by saying your closer to 6 figures than to 5 figures means you have in excess of a million dollars at Betfair. Congrats! Just didn't think anyone had that much at one sportsbook which is why I asked for clarification.

Sorry to disappoint you Mr Ed but I don't and I fail to comprehend your logic on this.
A million is 7 figures by my reckoning.

EDIT:
Ah!, ok I think I get where you're coming from
99,999 can't be "closer to 6 than 5" because it IS 5 figures, so it would need to be 7 to be closer to 6?
Smartarse!

Definitely Pinnacle... if there's any book out there which is always honest and never going to stiff anyone, it's them!

I have at times been 5 figures at several books. Recently took up Phoenix offer to help me recoup some Cascade screwing. I feel comfortable with their financial strength even though I know they have processing difficulties at times.
