    Are you kidding me? What kind of question is that ? If you'd read this forum a little bit you'd understand that sending money to Oddsmaker is like being a fresh fish is a shower room in Pelican Bay B wing and dropping a soap Good luck with that!

    They price themselves outside the avg sportsbook. Why put up with that when you have so many other options?

    The strangest marketing campaign I have ever seen. Why don't books put money into infrastructure, building reliable payout reputation, getting their cs top notch, building their ranking at sbr, etc. Basically building a reputation rather than then spending a fortune sending out out mass mailings, bizarre bonuses, etc.

    I have no opinion on oddsmaker good or bad ,other than what I have read second hand from people, they have the money for mailing and marketing campaigns, thats for sure!

    Their legal disclaimer page is longer than their list of paid winners. Why get "hot" on a site that's going to use every exuse not to pay you. One of their favorite tactics it let players grow a bankroll five-fold on a freeroll and then tell them at cashout time that buried in the legal disclaimer is language stating that the use of parlays negates any winnings. Imagine the mental anguish of finding that out first hand! I responded to one of their numerous e-mail promotions by telling them how shitty their reputation is on SBR and they responded by saying "Don't believe what you read on SBR! It's because we won't pay them!" What a stupid excuse, it's obvious to anyone who reads these forums that all of the negativity surrounding Oddsmaker comes from players, not SBR. They also advised me not to use anymore profanity when corresponding with them. That has been easy because that was the last time I ever talked to them.

    I just got something in the mail from them with a promo-code for a free $100. Signed up, and it's there. Should I even bother using it? I have no interest in depositing anyway, just want to know if it's worth the time rolling it over?

    It is stated in their rules for the freeplay that if you make any parlay plays that the promo will be cancelled so you would be wasting your time to even check if that parlay is a winner or not, you are no longer eligible for any winnings from this promotion.

    This appears to be a waste of time, but just for the hell of it I put the hundred on Evansville tonight @ +400. Sorry I even signed up for an account with these crooks. This is why I love this place so much.

    Yeah, I'd like to know who either bought them out, or sold my information to them. Because they started sending me promo mail last week.

    I took the infamous "free $100" offer and they've already sent 5 e-mails since I signed up on Friday.

    That alone is enough for me to blacklist.

    They are a great sportsbook......if you are a part owner. Fast payouts....your money goes right into their bank account. If you like salad........the vig is off the charts. Good luck with the $100 coupon. Read the fine print...it reads like a punch line from a comedy act.
