A good word about a Sportingbet family book

Search
I just wanted to post a good word about a Sportingbet family book because I've heard good and bad about them on here and I figured it was good to spread the good word when I can.

Sports.com is the book I have had personal experience with and I have made multiple deposits and withdrawals with this book and have always been paid promptly and accurately. I also have a friend (lol not an alter ego...an actual other person) that has made multiple withdrawals via check and has gotten paid on multiple occasions and ALL of these checks were 4 figure payouts (for him that is very, very good). I mention this only because some people prefer to play via credit card and my friend deposits via credit card and is paid via check for his winnings. If you prefer to play that way and you have had problems with online processing of cards in the US this place seems to have an independent processor (EFS) that is able to process these properly. Again I've never had a problem and they have been very helpful especially with live chat.

There are negatives as well. They only post overnight NBA sides (I wish they would post totals) and there is usually about an hour or two window where there are no sides or totals posted anywhere on the site (they take the overnights down at around 10 AM and the new lines come up around noon). They don't post totals on all college games and they don't post 2nd half's on all college games either (that I've seen). I would definately avoid them on NHL lines as well as there don't seem to be any moneylines (they are always listed off) and the lines are usually beat by my other outs (Olympic, Pinnacle, Intertops). Again with positives there are usually negatives.

I just want to conclude by saying I really think these guys are a pretty decent book. I can't speak for the rest of the "family" but sports.com seems to be safe. They also offer 5% bonus on every deposit (I have gotten one every time I have deposited). Again this is just my .02 but with all the negatives in the industry these guys seem to be a positive. I'm not a shill (though I think I sound like one here) but I will support any book that has dealt with me professionally and responsibly and has paid me more than once for the full amount I requested in a timely manner. So to sports.com I say

I feel like I should put a disclaimer or something "The preceding ass kissing was a non-paid endorsement from one of sports.com's customers."

Never had a problem with sports.com. But still waiting for the bank wire from sportsfanatik.

That's the kind of feedback that makes these sites worthwhile. Longtime poster who takes the time to write both good and bad about a book, surely in his eyes the good far outweighs the bad but he spoke about it all. Good post, wish more would make posts like these. Players can make more informed choices and books can act on the negative things they hear if they are able and willing.

Thanks Sportsbet.

The situation at the UK parent has improved substantially with some key earn-out payments settled.

I like the book and my only concern with them was their cash flow position. I have a lot of respect for bear raider Evil Kineavel (Simon Cawkwell) and his raid certainly led to a collapse in sentiment and the share price.

But I am now OK with higher balances at the sportingbet empire books.
 
Thanks guys...I usually don't like to stray far from what I consider the offshore safety net (Pinny, Oly and Intertops) but I was looking for a few more outs and saw someone else (Halifax I think) mention the 5 percent bonus on every deposit so I started light with them and after a decent week asked for a bank wire and they paid very swiftly. I just wish they would put NBA totals on overnight lines and post NHL moneylines!

Jay I'd like to get a hat too...I might as well considering the nice free marketing I'm giving them here. LOL
