    Books charging too much

    For a payout....

    Bookmaker/CRIS.....$50 fee for a check withdrawal.

    The Greek......$55 fee for a wire.

    Agree wholeheartedly
    Recovery of direct costs is okay but that's over the top to get your own money back
    They have free use of your money while it's in your account
    I don't pay anything for withdrawals at any bookie but fortunately I don't live in the US

    I know Pinnacle and all Euro book withdrawals are free using wire. These Costa Rica books sometimes I want to fly down there and punch them in the face.

    50 for check seems little bit higher than other books... but 55 for wire is cheap compare to others

    Don't they give you one free check withdraw per month at bookmaker? Also, why can't you just get a $10 check withdraw fee from thegreek. Isn't it still $10 for a check regardless of the amount at The Greek.

    Bookmaker no longer gives you a free check per month.

    Yes there is a $10 fee from The Greek if you want it through snail mail and get it 4 weeks later. Its $35 for a Fedex check.

    they should spilt the cost. Makes you wanna use a local guy. settle up every week and no BS withdrawal fee. They act like they are doing you a favor to pay you money you won when we all know for every one of you there are three losers that get nothing! ha
