Is this the end for Sportsbook.com???

[Cloak & Dagger]

I also care about my view on 9-11 but no one is talking about me being paid by anyone there and I'm not going to change anything there either... Talk about a wasted effort...

I have zero in there right now but regardless of what these douches say on here I am posting up this fall for football...

SBR ratings mean d*ck to me...

did you watch loose change for the 4859780506 time again??

now do yourself a favor and watch september clues and you might not be a sheep

avoid Sportsbook.com...........

They strung me along for a while before announcing last week more 3 to 5-week delays in paying. They need a new motto:

Sportsbook: Everybody bets, few get paid

[helicopter23]

I know about 3 people who regularly play at sportsbook.com and I will admit there payouts are slow. However I never wait no more than 4 weeks for my check to arrive and I only know of one case where a friend had to wait about 3 months for payout. Just have patience, they will pay.

[chiller]

what to do?

I went through the same crap last summer with sportsbook.com. I stuck with them because they did pay. (took 2 months) Maybe someone will understand, staying with them was easier then finding a new book. They always take my credit card, they have all my withdraw info. It's such a pain in the ass to get a new book sending them all the withdraw info. I opened an account with Bodog last year, what a joke, their payout is as slow a sportsbook, and I like sportsbook.com screen layout much better. HOW THE HELL IS THIS AN A- BOOK???????????????????? SBR forum loses creditability with this info and I would like to think I could trust them. That's the reason I've stayed with them (sportsbook.com)

If anyone has any better unbiased ideas, I'm all ears. I'm in US by the way.

[BossE]

i really hope they leave.

By the way, what ever happened to Sportsbook.com being traded on the London stock exchange?

I guess it depends how you bet. If you only bet straight wagers (no parlays, teasers, etc.) and don't need the ability to buy points then I'd definitely recommend Matchbook. However, if you do bet parlays and the like Bet Jamaica would be the book that I would choose. They have quick payouts and you can get an ATM card from them to expedite withdrawals and withdraw directly from your account...

[chiller]

cool. i'll look into these. thx for the info.

[sportsbookscams]

An answer to the question that is the title of this thread is a definitive YES!!! Sportsbook.com is about to be history. No question about it.

[Wheell]

I've got a dime tied up in Linesmaker, pending payout since July 1st. Joy.

I'll give it one more week just for another reason then I'll be forced to cancel payout and scalp it out.

If your account at linesmaker is worthless, then it is worthless. There is no such thing as scalping out. Imagine they replaced your money with monopoly money, could you scalp that out? All you are really doing is making bets at the other books.

[sportsbookscams]

As we speak, the good folks at sportsbook.com are packing up. It won't be long until the website is gone. I can just hear their laughter as they go skipping out the door. The good thing is though, the amount they snag from us really won't be able to help them get too far. Certainly not enough to start a new life in some far away place!

I don't think it's worthless, I just think they have major processing issues this time of year. Unfortunately, history repeated itself this summer. I do know players that have been paid balances bigger than mine routinely, so I do have faith that they'll pay, it's just an annoyance of a wait.

I 'scalped out' over a dime there the other week as well to avoid having two checks take 8 weeks.

[sportsbookscams]

I got a post card in the mail today from sportsbook.com. They said they're all enjoying their new lives and thank us all for making it possible.

If you research this site you will see we have warned players for about 8 years to avoid sportsbook.com at all costs. But.... they are not going out of business. And if they are, it wouldnt be 6 weeks before the NFL starts up.

They are incredibly cheap and shady. It doesnt bother them in the least when they cheat players. And all these slow pays...do they care? Nah. They dont. They will pay when they get around to it.

In all seriousness, I have been using sportsbook.com since April of 2002. And now, over six years later, this is the first time I have encountered problems with them. That's why I was wondering if this meant they had one foot out the door. I can promise one thing. When I do finally get paid, that will be the last dealing I will ever have with their shady @sses. I guess I had just been a lucky duck for the past six years.

I'm beginning to wonder about their "processing issues" actually. This seems far too coincidental that at the absolute slowest time of the year, two years in a row, this book suddenly encounters processing problems. This book is so grossly mismanaged. All it takes is one call to their customer service to realize this. They are, in my opinion, using your funds as operating expenditures right now. This isn't coincidental that it has happened two years in a row, in the middle of summer. They are definitely having financial problems, and after last year's processing delays, I wouldn't put one red cent in this book.

[SBR_John]

Money processing woes are real. Of course thats the new excuse from every slow pay book these days.

Some books like CRIS, Greek, 5Dimes work very very hard to keep processing going. They know they can lose one so they have several others lined up and always looking for a new bank. These books have all lost processing too but they are ready. Sportsbook.com is shady and lazy. It wouldnt shock me at all to learn that they havent even started looking for another processor. If they are saying 5 weeks it seems they havent even started looking. Its sad but their URL name is so strong they never worry about taking care of clients.

[Spanks]

sportsbook.com is one of the worst books out there...

[Bill Dozer]

Bill,
I have 7500 in 3 withdraws pending from betUSA. 5k was submitted 2.5 weeks ago. When i inquired about the status yesterday they said they had yet to be processed and could be up to 3-5 more weeks?!?!

GambleBalls,

I am told they are also offering bank wires and will send you the full amount through this method. BetUSA says they have asked for your banking details. Please keep us posted.

Sent them the info today. Will let u know when/if it shoes up. Thanks for your help.

[casper]

I know we live in the computer age with our info available to everyone but knowing I have given my banking info to Sportsbook.com might be akin to unprotected sex in Haiti--both seem very risky. If I see my $ by football season it will be a minor miracle. I think suckbook.com will soon be sending us more "three to five week delay" message soon.

[HedgeHog]

I hear Shamswoof will cover any payments that SB does not make. PM him for details.
