Western Union ~~~ Good or Bad for US deposits and Withdraws?

Western Union is the best. The books, usually reimburse the Western Union fees into your account. Western Union is the only way I do anything.

BetJam had the money in my account by the time I got back to my office

Good for smaller deposits(under 800 or 1000)...no ID required when sending. Books usually reimburse your fees.

Why is it worst for a larger ($2k) deposit?

Do they work well? Do they cost you fees? How about withdrawing? Any info/input is appreciated!
Thanks

Moneygram is your best option because it's a lot cheaper than western union. However, since your deposit is 2k I think betjam and thegreek will reimburse you for the fee so you might as well use **. For withdrawals use moneygram though. Saves you $$$$

Western Union or MoneyGram is probably the best funding method to use these days sir. The only thing that might be of a concern would be the **/** agent asking you for an ID, however thats usually a 50/50 chance pending on the employee.

If they ask for my ID, in what specific way is that bad ( I think I know but I would like to hear first ). if they do am I out of luck?

Do they ask why you are sending money?

It's not really bad on the outgoing, however it's more of the incoming you would be concerned with

I appreciate the responses BBD.

So if I got a $5000 western union payment from the greek and I go into a ** to collect and they ask for my ID then what(I figured they would ask for ID to make sure they are giving money to the right person)?

I appreciate any details on this. Thanks!
