Input on Royal....

sherman · Jan 11, 2005

Since I recently won a sontest here sponsored by Royal, I will be using them for the first time soon.

Any input on them is appreciated. What if anything is unique about them? What do they offer etc. Of course I will check out their site but like to hear what others have to say...

Thank You

That's the same way I wandered into Royal, but that was years ago. I still play there. Solid shop, great for propositions. You'll often find a tasty so-called "opinionated" line there, and they are NOT afraid of large / sharp action.

I LOVE Props so thats good.

I Like opinionated lines.

Large action isn't an issue.

As I voted in the RX shop of the year, Royal came in 2nd behind Skybook. Great Props,Great lines, contests are great, Payouts are coming quick. I guess if you open a new account their, I heard there is a free 1/2 point option

They have a conscience, almost a " Christian" book. They been a saviour to many, including me. Best lines NO, It's like betting with your church at Bingo, almost.

Pretty good book

Skybook, eh Red Eye? What do you like about them so much? I've heard enough good stuff from enough playas that I'm going to give them a try again for the march tourney. Between Royal and Skybook, I doubt I'll need a 3rd out for March Madness...

Royal has a history of slow-paying (to their credit, I think these have been resolved).

If you read the Sportsbook Review forums here, TheRX lists Royal as "fast pay" with all the top-tier books, and there is no mention of their past slow-paying. Royal is an advertiser here, so you must really temper anything the mods say about them.

I would treat with extreme caution. If Royal goes a full year with no slow-pays, I might consider them. Check back in July?
