    Heritage is a good book, but..

    they gave me the boot. I turned that $500 free play offer they sent to people who had dormant accounts into a little over $4500. Their "risk management" team de-activated my account and said they really didn't want my type of play (the last straw was last week when I went 9 out of 10 on teasers and parlays). That's okay, they had already limited all my bets to a max of $100 anyway.

    On the good side, they already sent the 2 checks by FedEx! (I hope they clear).

    I opened an account there about 5 or 6 years ago and deposited a small amount a couple of times. Wonder if they would give me a bonus of some kind to come back and use them.

    It's seems they have insiders in other books and only invoice losers. I'd never get a letter from them.....

    Bill, they will clear. Bet on it. Congrats on your win, but what a dumb way to get booted. Seriously, Heritage is giving away free money--all you have to do is stay under the radar and enjoy the freebies. Bulls and Bears make money, Pigs ......

    Sounds funny coming from a RebateWager tout-- a true Book for losers. In Fact RW is so sure you'll lose they'll return 25%-50% of your money. I'll take Heritage in a hearbeat over RW.

    Hey clueless one. I'll give you 500 betpoints if you find one post that says Heritage "never limits/kicks people(out) and can take any type of action".

    Heritage will limit you if you are super sharp, but they are not afraid of winners, just steam players and syndicates. I am about even there lifetime, and they have treated me well.

    Since not everyone can join, they are turning away a lot of money. The big question is WHY? Doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

    No book like this should be #3 in anyones best books list (i'm looking in your direction Fishhead ).
    Along the same lines, how in the world can anyone rank 5dimes ahead of Bookmaker?

    The clear top 3 in the American market (no particular order):

    Bookmaker
    Greek
    Matchbook

    "[quote=HedgeHog;7378407]Bill, they will clear. Bet on it."





    I'm not pushing the panic button yet, but my bank just called and told me the checks from Heritage were returned "not eligible for clearing". They were written on a Canadian Bank so it may be some sort of mix up between banks. My bank is going to look into it and let me know. I'll keep this forum informed on what happens.

    Still waiting. My bank says they have to submit a "payment on demand" to the Canadian bank Heritage uses and it could take a few weeks to get my money. This is really bullshit for a B+ book in my opinion. It's not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, but it's the principle of the thing.

    I'll advise when (and if) I finally get paid.

    Get real kid. It's your bank that is holding it up, not Heritage. My check clears same day.

    Mine clear almost immediately. Yes, it's a Canadian Bank that issues the check,in US dollars, but with a US branch clearly stated on the check. The problem is with your paranoid bank putting unnecessary holds.

    Sounds like sour grapes on your part for getting limited by them, but I'll bet everything I own that you're good on this. FWIW, get another bank for collecting your winnings via check from any legit Book.

    To be fair, the check is not really "cleared" immediately, because your bank won't get the money until a few weeks later. If you have been a good customer for a few years, the bank essentially trusts you and loans you the money for this period. But if you are a new customer or they have other concerns, they will put it on hold until it clears.
