Every book is vulnerable to legislative & criminal horseplay.

It's a very unstable situation.

Try to make the best of it though.

Aussie/UK combo is probably safest.
Pinnacle among the Bannana Books.
Also feel better with 5dimes than others of that ilk.

 

[bullsye]

CANBET
BET AUSTRALIA
BOWMANS
OLYMPIC
CRIS
GRANDE
WWTS
WSEX

 

[Fishhead]

Based STRICTLY on safety, I would nominate:

Bet365

Oh come on now guys, you guys knew that i had to come in here and tout my favorite books.

1. www.sportsbook.com
2. www.playersonly.com

No BOOK offers more prop bets than these guys! And they have never had a payemnt issue

 

[truthteller]

Only on safety of $$, I would say Betworks

 

[sponge]

Playersonly...its funny...but your the second person to mention sportsbook.com group...yet madcapper hasn't aded them. Yet they will put books like BHB up there. The sportingbet group takes more action in one sunday then BHB takes in a month!

For some reason, this place doesn;t like safe regulated books, like the sportingbet group. I see the even added cris to their list....same group that has been raided.....way to funny!

 

[theswami]

MC-

Not to piss in your Cheerios BUT..how do we know that GA and BHB are safe?

Shouldn't you have a requirement that the book be in operation for some period of time without any of the stiffing issues that DEMONSTRATES that they are indeed safe?

I'm not picking on these two (GA and BHB) and I have an account at one of them but it would seem premature to have them on the list.

 

[Dante]

I would say OLY based on safety and them being solid as a ROCK

 

[ericdixon]

Add Blue Marlin Sports to the safe list, no worries at this book and CS that is excellent.

You guys are right. I had BHB and GA there because they were from my original list. Not a consensus list. I will keep them off until I hear from other people.

[lander]

I think VIP should be up there.
I have NEVER heard of them not paying anyone.
