I like Mega, as you obviously already guessed. They seem to me more quick to alter prices than points -- for instance, rather than givin a dog a half point as the line moves, they'll leave it as is and make the price more attractive. On any given day you can find plenty of ATS dogs (especially in the NBA) for +101, +105 and sometimes even higher -- which is nice for a person who bets mostly dogs.
They also are one of the only books that accept e-gold, which was the original reason I started playing with them -- Gamebookers used to be my sole out for the same reason, but they've complicated the process for cashing out via e-gold.
The bet screen Keith Richard mentions is a baffling ordeal that I wish MegaSB would get rid of; I have not tried it in Explorer but it is terrible in Mozilla -- I have just been labouring under the assumption that it was a browser compatibility issue; if it works that badly in Explorer as well than they really need to ditch it.
I have experienced fast payouts, fast and courteous customer service, and decent prices on American sports. The only bad things aside from the betting screen are that on real big dogs (say +200 or more) their prices tend to be easily beaten by almost any competitor, and very low limits -- most sports the limit is $ 1,000.00 or less per bet.

Thanks to everybody for your feedback regarding our new betting interface.
Actually we hoped it will be regarded better by our customers than the older one but... unfortunately from your posts I see that our software contractor wil have to change something in order to make it more attractive for our customers...
Good luck to all in NFL playoffs!

Again, I don't know what it looks like in Explorer, but in Mozilla the top bar function does not work at all, and so the only way to place a bet is to wait for every single line currently being offered on every game, in every sport, to load. And then scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, until I find the actual sport in which I am attempting to place a bet. Any attempt to use the selector at the top results in the entire page being reloaded, wait, wait, wait; scroll, scroll, scroll.
A pretyy interface is not that big of a deal to me honestly (or obviously I would have stopped playing there or started bitching about it sooner here) but really, you're probably keeping away anyone who uses Gecko or Firebird as his browser. I hope it at least works in IE.

You guys do know that all Mega does is lift Pinnacle's lines directly from Pinnacle, right? For *some* people, they are slow in moving the line when there are changes at Pinnacle. Unfortunately I became not one of those people, therefore I left them (the extra hassles with their low budget site did not otherwise make up for the extra hassles with their low budget website). For other people, you can catch them quickly on steam plays. I think it depends on whether they have your account tagged for scanning Pinny when a play is entered.
