BOOKMAKER Is Awesome.

I agree about Bookmaker (and DSI) and The Greek (and BetJam). The gold standard, at least for Americans.

spankie · 03-08-11, 11:47 AM

Nice to hear someone pays quickly.

Bookmaker is a must for larger players.

only if they're American

the rest of us have far better options to bet at much better odds

How did you withdraw the 5k?

Raynor21 · 03-08-11, 04:03 PM

Love bookmaker. They don't usually slash limits and they're CS is very professional.

tofuman · 03-08-11, 04:26 PM

how about betmaker? the seemingly next closest alternative to matchbook for US players.

ringemup · 03-08-11, 11:47 PM

Bookmaker is a great book for larger players. Nice to have at least one or two out there for those of us in the US.

WendysRox · 03-09-11, 09:57 AM

I've been using DSI all because I wanted to be cash-eligible for SBR's $5000/week Hoops contest. Their CS is top-notch. Just received a free payout in 3 days. Not bad for the free method where they clearly say that it could take up to 7 days.

What payout method, Wendys?

schaeon · 03-09-11, 01:02 PM

I just got free instant deposit payout. Took 7 business days. I have used Bookmaker for 10 years and they are as good as it gets when it comes to payouts and customer service. We ALL want better lines, but you give and take these days.

Eagle1958 · 03-09-11, 01:04 PM

I am new to bookmaker but like what I see so far.

Sawyer · 03-09-11, 02:40 PM

You're leaving a fortune in the table if you're using Bookmaker. Their lines/odds are not really good.

only to a point
no point in playing at lines which give you no opportunity for long term profit
margins are too skinny in this game to be giving away as much as you need to most of the time playing at -110

slash · 03-09-11, 04:22 PM

Just got paid through moneybookers from dsi. Took them a couple of days.

jds07v · 03-09-11, 04:29 PM

I like to offset the -110 by betting the earliest line I can. I would rather get the better line and pay -110 then wait for 5Dimes at 9:00 the next morning and pay -105. The lines can change up to 2 points in basketball if you wait for the reduced juice to open up. Especially in baseball, BM has the lines up around 5-7 PM for the next day

MendozaLine · 03-09-11, 04:31 PM

I like Bookmaker a lot. But I rarely play there because the software is so god damn slow

well that argument only stands up if you are particularly good at anticipating line movements

otherwise there is at least as much chance that you've taken the crap odds and perhaps a crap line as well

Not difficult in many of the markets

Sawyer · 03-10-11, 02:07 AM

Software is too slow, interface is ugly either.. Odds are terrible.. The only good thing about BM is, high limits & no problem with payouts.

Betpoints? They cancel your betpoints program if you're winning over the long haul

Sorry for delay, wire. To me getting paid in a timely fashion is the most vital service any book can offer.

Everything else is window dressing.

Coming Back! · 03-10-11, 10:06 PM

Furthermore, a while back I had a complaint regarding payouts. The old rule was $3,000 max limit for check withdrawals and $5,000 minimum for Bank wires. I complained on the forum, because there was no way to cash out $4,000 without making two seperate payouts. And payouts are only allowed once per week. They actually changed the rule, now you can do bank wires for $3,000 or more. That's a great job, it's not like I'm a huge player. They still changed the rule. SBR has influence over there, which helps matters in case of a dispute. I'm still down over $70,000. But that's my fault, nobody elses. If I was up $70,000, I know they would pay. Can't ask for more than that......

soxwin1917 · 03-10-11, 10:25 PM

Your post convinced me to post up again at BM. I'm still happy having money at 5 Dimes but BM is a class/safe operation.

unless they offer odds you can actually win at and and let you bet enough to make it worthwhile what's the point?

NYER5680 · 03-10-11, 11:03 PM

Good book very tough to beat juice you to death.But they do pay no matter what

cyberinvestor · 03-11-11, 08:00 AM

Their wires are crazy slow. A few books I bet have the funds hit my account within 1-2 days of requesting the wire. Bookmaker is usually about 7-8 days from the day I request the wire until I see it in my account. However that said they still do pay. Which is worth anything in this industry.

The ".com" at the end of the URL should have clued you in... You might want stick to shrimponthebarby.au if you hate being a minority.
