Are all Don Best books Safe?

CHOPTALK · Feb 4, 2005

Thinking of joining Don Best, I got a list of the Sportsbooks they track and honestly some of them I have never heard of before. My idea is to line shop using Don Best and having a balance in all of the books that they track. I have only used Chris, Pinny, Olympic, and a few other well known books, we talk about all the time. Never really used a questionable book since I have been cheeking out the RX. Heres the list of books that the General gave me. Some of them I have never heard, and others I have heard some bad things. Does anyone do what im thinking of doing having a balance in all the Don Best books. Thanks very much.

The only one that is truly safe is Stardust, and unless you are in Vegas you can't bet there.

Maybe I should have said low risk. I know there is no such thing as a sure thing, just need some info on some of these books I have never heard of before. I dont want to send any money to an ESB or that kind of book.

Kornholio, it is the only one I can actually walk into so to me it is the only safe one. it is also the only one that I know of, that if you do not get paid, you actually have LEGAL channels you can take to get your money for you.

Not begging mods or some "watchdog" guy vacationing in the country trying to act as a proxy for you. Which may or may not get a satisfactory result.

The thing most call safe, is what I would more catiously call integrity. Integrity is pretty much what we are relying that these places have when we bet with them. Many more have it these days, than don't. But "safe" is a relative term.

Ahh...I see what your saying now. I don't think your definition of safe was what choptalk was lookin' for though

Olympic and Pinnacle are just as safe as a bank. I am sure they have alot more.

choptalk:

Your question was "Are All Don Best Books Safe". Unless someone here has working knowledge of the full operation of each of these books, your question cannot be answered. Some of the books as stated in earlier replies are in Vegas and unless you live there, it is likely you won't have access to them. As for the others, the list runs from those being very solid to those that have not been in operation for very long. Your idea to post up and have a balance at every book is not necessary and really, in my opinion, not very wise. Depending on how you decide to fund your accounts, suggest you keep funds in a few of the more well known books only as that should most likely be sufficient for your needs. You'll sleep better at night not having to worry about not only maintaining so many accounts but the security of your funds. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
