Over a decade ago, when this industry was very young, I used to bet via WSEX. They were great. I made numerous withdrawals from them - much larger than anything I'd put in - and the xxxxxx always came via FedEx very promptly.
Now, however, I've read SBR's brutal accounts of what's apparently happened with WSEX, and so, reluctantly, I'm going to move to another sportsbook (I haven't bet in several years).
However, I'm having difficulty finding a site that is totally reliable (please note that prompt, timely payments to the U.S. are my #1 concern). SBR themselves gave an A+ to 5Dimes, so I set up an account there. There were a few problems right away:
1) The site interface just seems a little bit ghetto and like a fly-by-night site, rather than a stolid business.
2) When I opened the account (I didn't make any deposits) there was some sketchiness concerning my personal info: you can't change your password without going through their customer service line, and they share the same customer service line with other sites, I believe.
3) By default, I noticed that my account info was incorrect: they said I was a female born on 6-6-66 (???). Again, I couldn't just go into my profile and adjust this (like you would at any other site - Amazon or eBay or whatever) but had to go through their operators.
4) A complaint against 5Dimes from the users (http://www.sportsbookreview.com/player+reviews/5dimes/) seemed to be a sketchy payout system (although most of the comments were favorable, to be fair).
So....I'm just asking people here, knowing that my main interest is fast and reliable payouts, if 5Dimes is the best option. What about Bodog? I see that their moneylines for baseball are kind of crappy, but they do have a solid reputation and their site has all the hallmarks of professionalism.
I plan on starting this weekend, and so I could really use some help for finding an online sportsbook that can be counted on to make reliable payouts to the U.S.
Thanks so much.
