    I was thinking ??

    I have read some posts about the slow pays and a lot of bad stuff about a few books that are on top of this page, i had played at a couple of them and had a little problem at one.

    How do you guys rate these books and do you ever go out and see them in person and see the operation they have ? I know some books are fly by night operations and get deposits in and then take off with the money never to be heard from.

    I am still trying to find a good honest book here in Costa Rica that i can play at, anyone know of one ?? MB32

    Mike, I would email any book based in Costa Rica, and make sure that it's okay to play there. Some books say that residents in their jurisdiction can not play. For instance, in Costa Rica, it is illegal to bet on sports for citizens. So I would contact any books and explain that you're not a Costa Rican citizen, but a foreigner residing here, and if it will be okay to bet with them. Most books are okay with this, but it's good to get it out of the way upfront, instead of waiting until you want to cash out.

    My experience in Costa Rica is you can fund accounts in Costa Rican books with non-US based CC´s. Many casinos downtown offer better odds and reduced juice than the Online giants. I prefer Morazon casino book downtown. They take cash and cards.

    Sweet, I didn't know the Morazon had a book. Do you know if Colonial and Horseshoe still take action? I haven't gone to a local book in awhile; I have a local that I play through.

    Makeit77 IS A SHILL FOR EBETSACTION.COM and any book that resorts to spamming forums in this manner should be AVOIDED. In addition, he is constantly begging for betpoints from other posters.

    Here are a few of his recent postings:

    I play with eBetsAction.com I don't know if they take players from Costa Rica.. but they are located there so maybe... call and ask!


    eBetsAction.com is running an early bird special.. for the month of August. 50% - 100% with a fair rollover! They called me and offered me that but contact them and see if you can get it.


    I play at eBetsAction.com and they have a promo til Aug 31st.. 50% Cash Bonus on $500 with only 9x rollover.. that is better if you ask me. It's not a free play and the rollover is not crazy like...


    I bet with eBetsAction.com I'm happy.. they are great.. but if you want to decide between Bodog (www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr/bodog_sportsbook/) and 5dimes go Bodog... 5dimes is HORRIBLE!


    When I deposit with eBetsAction I use a check and send it via FedEx.. never had a problem.. they put the money in the account and it clears days later... I even have FedEx pick it up at my house...


    I play at ebetsaction.com and they called me lat week to offer me 50% early bird special for the month of August... I am not sure if that is for everybody but a great deal for sure.. call them and...


    I haven't received any junk mail.. just calls... Great bonus offer from ebetsaction.com... but thats all.. make sure if you open an account to tell them you DONT want any shit on sent to you!


    ebetsaction.com - $980 last friday.. wire


    I've been with ebetsaction.com for almost 3 years.. my account manager always takes care of me.. this year they offered me 50% until Aug 31st as an early bird special I think...!!.. go ahead and...
