A simple question with too many answers

TomorrowsNewspaper+ · Sep 3, 2003

A friend called me today and asked me where he should send money to fund a new account. He is a smaller player that wants to send $500. He wants the best deal he can get, but he wants to know his money is safe.

With all the specials and promotions, I was not sure what to tell him. So I figured I would post this and let the experts help and call him back. Thanks for your responses in advance.

Thanks sick. Is that for the bonus or for the safety? I forgot to mention he usually plays $50-100, some parlays and teasers.

Pinnacle is good. I use Olympic, Carib and Sports Interaction (SIA...they get a lot of flak for customer service but they do pay quickly) to name a few.

I'd feel comfortable putting any amount of money in Olympic and Carib but I think SIA is more geared to the small player than anything else. As for bonuses check the link above.

Talk him into sending a nickle to both Pinny and the Greek. Both great in different areas.

Betworks both safety and value in lines

P I N N A C L E but do not suggest leaving a balance of over 7 figures.

reminds me of a story where an a/c is opened with a book -- maybe because of bonuses and sloppy lines -- for 5k. the book had a limit of 1k / game.

a few months later the balance is 70k but when the boss notices and tries to make a withdraal the book stiffs them.

does seem pretty stupid yeah !!

Hi Tomorrow's News, you should check out the site promo page , see what books are offering, pick a couple that look good to you, then come back in here and the guy's will let you know what they think of your picks. Beleive me they will tell you! Everyone ready for some FOOTBALL

Check out SKYBOOK!

Sending $500 will get him a free half point on every football and basketball game and will also receive a 10% bonus on his deposit. THIS WILL ALSO QUALIFY HIM FOR THE $50,000 contest that they sponsor here at the RX.

Thanks Slash (get it Strut/fish). I think he is going to go with your suggestion. I told him about the free 1/2 point and he agreed, that could be worth more than an extra $50. (20% instead of %10 of $500). Anyway, thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Thats what makes this such a great place.
