progress report on betworks

BIGJOHN+ · Jul 1, 2003

i told you all when i signed up with them that i would keep you in the know. so far i am real pleased with everything. i have not had a single problem and that is including 3 withdraws so far. on a side note, the line prices there have beat my local almost every single time so that is a big plus as well.

thanks again to everyone who recommended them to me.

No surprise here. Glad it's been a positive relationship John.

Big John,

I do not like BetWorks!

For a start they never gave me the promotional free US$50 from accross the street. I can live with that, but what does bother me is that they do start sending me junk mail now.

VG789 · Jul 1, 2003

yes,they do send junk mail,but I can think of many good bookies doing the same thing.
The 50$ is nothing special,but the odds and the reliable payouts are very important.

I dont use them because of their low limits,the lack of soccer bets,and the horrible software.

Owen · Jul 1, 2003

Solid out that always pays

assassin · Jul 1, 2003

I didn't see anything special about the odds, low vig below -110, but then not a dime line.
Anyone have a breakdown on where there lines change?
Also, slightly confused on the free $50? I can bet the $50, but can never take it out? Is that how it works?
1 free neteller withdrawl per month is a nice touch for them.

acw,

Please send me an e-mail to brian.gordon@betworks.com and I will see if I can address your concern about not getting a free account.

VG,

We recognize that our software does not compare well with many others. We have recently signed agreements and commenced the processes to upgrade our software (unlike most of our competitors, this also includes obtaining regulatory approval). The new system will be in before Football. I think this will address all your problems with our software.

Assasin,

For MLB money lines we offer a straight 2%
(-104) market. There is no break. From a pick
-104 to -10000 our prices are a consistent 2% vig.

Our regulatory environment does not allow us to impose minimum betting requirements on bonuses. Therefore, we cannot impose rollover requirements. The $50 betting credit promo allows us to give a small bonus, but as it is a betting credit, we do not impose any minimum betting requirements. It basically means that you can bet your account down to a balance of -$50

Any chance for soccer bets?
One of your main opponents used them succesfully in order to drag european costumers.

All these championships will start from September.
Now there is action only in Finland,Norway,Sweden,USA etc.
So its obvious that at the moment there is nothing for a soccer bettor at betworks.
Handicaps of -1/+1 and -1.5/+1.5 would be great also

One of my favourite quotes of all time on TheRX.

Keep up the good work Betworks.

You are a fine sportsbook service.

assassin · Jul 3, 2003

Thanks for the quick response betworks. Will certainly consider for my next post-up. I get it now.

areeff · Jul 4, 2003

Betworks is a great book. They are in the top 10 easy as far as trust.

If you place a bet they don't necessarily like becuase of value or oversight they WILL honor it.(ex. correlated parlays)

SOLID BOOK

Their site could use some work as it looks middle of the road and often times i am asked to login more than once to place a bet which is a pain. I wish they had more futures on wimbledon and more matchups but what can you do.
