    Not really happy with Heritage. Greek was WAY better. Lines were posted earlier, more choices, 1/2 and 1/4 moneylines on college and pro (posted several days before the fact). Could buy as much as 14 points on any single game (couldn't parlay, didn't do that last one much but I liked that it was there).

    When Heritage mimics the Greek, then I'll be happy.

    They are getting no more money from me and any withdrawals I make are to deposit to another book. Maybe a book to book to 5dimes.

      Thanks Chuck. That is definitely a plus for them. 5Dimes counts a sportsbook transfer as your freebie for the month.

        No offense, but Heritage will not and should not mimic the Greek. Heritage did their own thing long before The Greek bolted the US market. If you don't like what Heritage has to offer leave, but know you'll get paid. FWIW, Heritage was chosen by The Greek and BetJam because of their financial solvency, not because they are a mirror image of the Book you lost.

            by far the best book currently available. I can see some of bet jamaica's/greek's influence, its gotten harder to understand the english of the clerks. Not a big deal and I'd still rate them a+.

                      Glad you were paid and the B2B fees were waived. A week for a check is acceptable. However, the two week time period for a book transfer surprises me, most are done same day or next.

                              Book has dropped in my estimate since the Greek invasion. From 9 to 7 on a scale from 1 to 10. They lost the spark that made them special. There used to be many threads with people singing their praises. Not anymore. Ask any of the old members if they would prefer the Heritage from before or after the Greek invasion. They were excited there was a book like that. Poof! Gone.

                              Anyway, Heritage build up a lot of credit, so I'm going to wait things out for a year or so. I hope they get the old focus back, but the thing that comes to mind is a sentence from the Last Samurai: 'too many minds'.

                                What exactly has changed for the worse? Spark? What does that mean?

                                  You haven't mentioned why they dropped from 9 to 7 in your opinion.

                                    I've been with Heritage pretty much since they opened and I love the new added betting options.... They used to only have tennis lines on the semis and later... and only soccer from Champions League and EPL.... now they have 50+ soccer leagues and every tennis tourney from the first round on.

                                    They also added Free P2P payouts so thats not a bad thing.

                                    I do wish that the Get out of the Bet at Halftime was $500 still, and not $300... but besides that.... I don't really have anything to complain about. The CS now is a little more hit or miss then it was before.... but its still more hit then miss.

                                      One small complaint that I have though is I wish that they could go to 24/7 CS and 24/7 Wagering now that they added all these customers. The Greek always had 24/7 CS and I just wish Heritage would too.... IT can be annoying at times waiting til 10am for the CS to open.

                                        I like the fact that you can now buy points on parlays with Heritage. Minor improvement to some, but important to me.

                                          Hardly betting there at the moment. Always seem to find a better line somewhere else. And not looking very hard. I still like the book a lot, but that's mostly based on my past experience with them. Before they were almost too good to be true. They're still good, but back to 'normal'. If they brought over a lot of Greek people that was to be expected, but I wasn't really interested in a mix of Heritage and Greek. I enjoyed Heritage for the special out that they were. Very kind, generous, and not too sharp, yet able to continue that business model. With the Greek invasion it was inevitable that the business model would change.

                                            they got too big.

                                            money is still safe but it's not the same book it used to be.

                                              I think they're the safest book remaining, because they don't let anyone and everyone join.

There used to be many threads with people singing their praises. Not anymore. Ask any of the old members if they would prefer the Heritage from before or after the Greek invasion. They were excited there was a book like that. Poof! Gone.

                                                  Anyway, Heritage build up a lot of credit, so I'm going to wait things out for a year or so. I hope they get the old focus back, but the thing that comes to mind is a sentence from the Last Samurai: 'too many minds'.

                                                  Growing pains, was a little frustrated in September but seems like the new CS is getting caught up to speed. Remember when they had the DC cash out? You could request a withdraw and withing 2 hrs go to a atm and get the cash....that was the glory days of cash outs! A member for 8 yrs and never had a payout issue and always handle the little bumps with good CS

                                                    Do they boot or limit you when you're winning? I assume so, so whats the threshold?

                                                      So.... no idea what I did to get on Heritage's good side... but I'm up over close to 2500 playing Spanish Blackjack in the last week. I've never won in the years Ive been playing there until this week too.... so odd. No matter the reason why... thank you guys very much

                                                      And getting back to the asskicking... no book goes out of there way for the players like Heritage CS does. The perks are still amazing, and Mike is a hell of a guy.


                                                      Here are my casino results in the last 3 days:

                                                      11/26/2011 Spanish Blackjack 2,815.00 -1,870.00
                                                      TOTAL 2,815.00 -1,870.00

                                                      TOTAL ACTION:945.00



                                                      11/28/2011 Spanish Blackjack 5,120.00 -3,740.00
                                                      TOTAL 5,120.00 -3,740.00

                                                      TOTAL ACTION:1,380.00



                                                      +2325 betting $50/hand is an incredible run.... I better stay the hell out of there from now on though or else variance will catch up with me.
