    Any long time Greek players?

    Just started with TheGreek the beginning of the football season (good review here influenced my pick.

    I only bet American Football. Started with $100 currently slight south of $1K. I do not plan on withdrawing any money until I'm reaching the max bet amount. Is it cool to just park my balance there?

    Any pro's out there that can tell if it's a bad idea? How big should I let my balance get? I usually only bet 50% of my total balance (in case I take a bath).

    Any advice on playing the Sportsbook game? I'm an amatuer.

    Your money is safe at Greek
    Your staking is very aggressive if that's your entire bankroll
    As it is probably going to cost you to make a withdrawal or another deposit I'd certainly be leaving it there for the season on that staking plan.
    You'd likely get better odds at Matchbook than at Greek

    Been there for a decade, and your money is very, very safe. Basically, you can leave it there as long as you wish in terms of trying to let it grow. I'm up tens of thousands at this site over the years, and they continue to pay religiously. Believe me, that's not an attempt to glorify my profits; rather, I'm just stating that they are extremely reliable and no need for concern at all.....

    If you are not comfortable having $ at the Greek then you shouldn't have $ at any U.S. facing books

    Don't worry about $1K at TheGreek.

    Cool. Thanks everyone. This is my first year in this whole online subculture so I'm as clueless as my username implies.

    You can get limited at Greek if you consistently beat close

    Everybody would have probably said the same things about WSEX.com two years ago..."rock solid"..."been there 10 years...etc." If I recall correctly, they had an excellent reputation as well. Now getting money out of them is like pulling teeth. The Greek is rock solid....I've never had a problem there either....but you just never know...if I had no plans to make another bet after the super bowl until next football season I would take the money out and start fresh again next year.

    I believe five dimes has faster payouts than the greek. The lines are better. Use fivedimes and the greek

    That's my next book. Need to get the bank up bigger. Probably next football season (since I pretty much only bet football.)

    Greek pays overnight and they are used to dealing with 6+ figures. $1000 is a rounding error

    Used to dealing with 6+ figures? But their betting limit is only $3K?
