Thegreek~!

[roanildinho]

Many people say The Greek is so good, awesome, the best!

okay, its good that it pays. or does it?

I am not a customer at the greek so i dont know .

But a friend of mine has told me that after you cash out once, there are always so many problems
.
if you want to cashout again.

Also, he told me that These books Dont have to pay us because it is not legal to gamble online.

Do you agree?

Answer both questions.

I have never had problems cashing out from Greek.

A book's reputation is everything. If a book stiffs players, word gets out. Look at all the complaints about different books... Creditwagering, Sportsbook.com, SBGGlobal, Bestake. When a book screws people, word gets out. No one will play with them.

Greek is a great book. Like all A+ books, I don't know of anyone that has been treated unfairly. But don't take my word for it -- search the forums.

Btw, if you are a smaller player, and are considering The Greek, take a look at BetJamaica. That site is run by the same company, but geared towards smaller players (which bet $500 or less per bet).

[horsiehung]

Justin, what do you mean 'geared to the smaller player?'
i'm i smaller player..what i'm i missing out on by playing at the greek instead of betjam?

Ignore the fool
Never ever had a payout issue at Greek
Legality depends on where you are but he may technically be correct that it would be mighty hard to enforce payment but if they try pulling that stunt their reputation and business would be in tatters. It just ain't gunna happen.

Thats why you use trusted books especially A books because they will pay you and yes they have to pay you if they want to be graded here on SBR thats what this forum is for basically politic type stuff. If you have trouble then SBR will help you and step in.

[spot picker]

hes a fool

[cobra_king]

Your friend is a total square. Do not listen to him on anything related to sports books or betting.

[kostasgr]

Don t hear what they say around,just register to thegreek to see what happens by your self.

[roanildinho]

Thanks for your answer Justin.

i just realised how risky it is, to give your info to them.

PLUS. you are risking no to get paid.

i guess if you want to bet you have to go to europe?

[Stumpage]

If your friend is having a problem at a book like the Greek, then he should really reconsider online wagering.

You must have read a different post from Justin to what I read?

WTF are you on about?

You'll find that you have to give at least as much info to the Euro books as you do to Greek

Greek, along with Pinnacle would probably be the surest place for getting paid outside of the regulated jurisdictions of the UK and Australia.

[roanildinho]

Yah...okay.

[roanildinho]

Obviously online gaming isnt good.

But is gaming in the real world. like europe better?

[Sawyer]

Never ever had any problem with TheGreek. Never heard any complaints either. Solid book..but odds are no good, lol.

[brxbmbers42]

greek and jamaica are the two safest books there are. i dont know of one person that has ever had a payout issue with either. you're friend is full of sh1t

[Hareeba!]

obvious to who?

online is part of the real world

stick to the best books and you won't have a problem .. I never have

[brettley]

I won about 8 grand off a hundred dollar deposit last year. Never had one issue on withdrawals and had a check mailed to me roughly once a week. Payment was always on time too.

[ronaldo922]

never had a problem with the greek

[roanildinho]

Good to hear these positive things about the greek. To bad its illegal to betonline in canada.

[roanildinho]

When i go to england il visit them online.

[Hareeba!]

Good to hear these positive things about the greek. To bad its illegal to betonline in canada.

well that's a newie on me!

sure I've seen Canadians posting here say they use Betfair
you can be certain that if it were illegal Betfair wouldn't let it happen

sounds like you may have been talking to that same fool friend who gave you a load of crap about Greek ?

[roanildinho]

No actually online gambling is illegal in Canada.

[Raven66]

No actually online gambling is illegal in Canada.

No its not.

Province of BC has a online gambling shop.

Ontario site will be up in 2012.

SIA is located in Montreal.

Canada do not have strict rules compared to USA.

[Wrecktangle]

The Greek (once was Olympic) has been a top book for over 10 years now. Not always the best lines, but the best rep, IMO.

[moods17]

Never had any problems with this book. Very solid. Your buddy must be getting his head handed to him.

[roanildinho]

Yes i know, Playnow.com is a british columbia site. but its a government site.they dont allow any others.

[coutman]

i ve never had any problem here...i like it..

[xkgb]

these kinds of threads are not only absolutely useless but should be flagged for permanent ban...WHAT ISSUE DO U HAVE WITH THE GREEK?!!!! exactly....absolutely nothing but your annoying ass whinning

[odysseus]

yes absolutely top book, no one ever had any problems there. only thing to say against it is the their customer services crew can sometimes be a bit thick. but then again that applies to all books in my experience! also they don't have live chat but reply to emails very fast.

[horsiehung]

still trtying to figure out thegreek or betjam?
for a rec player why is betjam better?

[jimbo747]

How long these usually take to pay out via moneybookers? Remember seeing figures measured by the minute on other threads, been near 3 days since they acknowledged and accepted my ID documents.... Only £500 or so too

never had to wait long for a withdrawal via MB .. can't recall precise times but always within 24 hours

of course you have to have been verified first but if you deposited via MB it shouldn't take too long for that

perhaps your first withdrawal request lapsed because you hadn't previously been verified and you need to request it again now that you have been?

[lacoste]

300$ limit on tennis @ Australian Open , how they pretend to be an A+ book with this mickey mouse limits? It's a grand slam tourney, wtf!
@ pinnie u can get 10k€ now and 20k€ later on ML, even @ IBC u can get 2k on moneylines. At least for tennis, The Greek is a joke!

No, I sent ID docs about a week ago, they emailed to they've accepted and verified me 3 days ago. I then made a payout request straight after. Might drop Wally an email to wake him up. Not sure I'll be back at the greek. Reloads were nice, some lines are better than pinnies, but I hate the way the site looks and works, not a patch on a lot of euro books. Reminds me of the first website I made when 10 years old!

[horsiehung]

true their website is simple, but many including myself like not haveing tons of java pop up crap, and the ability to pick the type of wager AFTER making selections.
