How do you know which sportsbook to trust

[Katman]

After the lazer fiasco and getting super slow payouts from bodog, I[m looking for a new book to bet at. The problem I[m having is I constantly get bombarded by emails offering me ridiculously high bonuses and such. In the past few years it seems like a book being iin business for 10 years plus and having a great review is still not a guarantee.

Does anyone have a method that seems to have worked for them in finding a new book to bet with? Like the type of emails they send you inspiring trust in you or the type of bonus they offer? What raises a red flag in your mind when it comes to a new book?

Matchbook and Pinnacle are good choices.

Katman,

I'm in the same boat .... so I will offer my opinion,for what it's worth?
I've looked at alot of books ... and some look good still ?
but,,what do we know ?


anyway ...years ago,when I started off-shore, I ended up going with WSEX. (which worked fine)
my business-model then,is the same as now.

1. Stick to A books
2. Deposit the minimum ,, try a couple of deposits and withdrawls,and see.
3. Slowly increase ... as long as everything is satisfactory.

I don't know if these "rules" will work for sure,
but it's a good starting "business-model"


good luck

:toast:

WSEX and Matchbook have the same ownership.

Matchbook is great..

low juice, free, fast withdrawls without limit, and their business model is a winner.

Longevity is a key factor when looking for outs you can trust. Same old same old (and affiliates) is where you should be:


WSEX
CRIS
GREEK
PINNACLE

You should take your money and break it up into 1/3
Meaning use 3 Books, take 1/3 of your Bankroll and put it into those 3 books.

Reason ? So you have a Safey net. If something happens at 1, you still have 2 others.
Plus, it is Alway smart to have more then One out.

I would say if you can play at Pinnacle, that is the way to go. If not I think there are still some very good books out there..BetJamacia, The Greek and 5dimes are all very solid. The payout problem is one that I'm not sure we will over come anytime soon.

5Dimes is the best book I have ever dealt with. I am sure the rest mentioned by other posters are good as well.

anything wil gives a thumbs up to

If you're in CR, you can't use CR books... so Pinny would be my 1st choice.

Since you can't use CR books, I would look no further than Caribsports.com who is an Antiqua company, and is A+ rated. They have great customer service with courteous clerks who you can understand. I'm checking with them now to see if they are giving new sign up a $50 bonus. They always give a 10% bonus, but it's not real cash but can be used for all bets.

If you have any questions, they have a "Send Memo" on the top of their home page and get back to you with an answer in minutes.

They will pay you out I believe up to $3000 or $3500 overnight via FedEx. They charge $65 for this service, but I guarantee you you get your money the next day, and the best part is, you have your tracking number the next morning so there is no jerking you around. Checks are from a well known bank so there should be no "hold" on the checks.

I've dealt with these people for a long time and have never had a problem with them. Easy to navigate site also.

They just got back to me and said they no longer offer the $50 bonus, but you get the 10% bonus all the time.

Not saying they are not good, But I think they are Rated B

Why play anywhere else ?
If your gonna play, and want your money, why play anywhere else but these. I would add 5Dimes to this list too.

Good Luck!
