SIRBET REPORT:
***Okay, here we go, another ‘unbiased’, ‘agenda free’, ‘nothing but the facts’ report from SportSavant (a common player) about SIRBET sportsbook. This report is not intended to promote or dissuade anyone from using the Book…simply a factual account of my experiences with them.***
Anyone using or having used SIRBET please feel free to add any detail, comments, concerns or experiences you have had with the book.
Speculators, Bashers, PLEASE stay out of this thread…No third hand reports please only first hand player reports…
I opened my account with SIRBET at the end of April after I ran across a promotion they had to attract new clientele….it was a ‘test drive’ promo which offered a 100% Bonus max 150$. 30 Day Hold rule & 8X rollover. For 150$ I said what the heck, many of you know I will give smaller books a shot (not saying SIRBET is small…I don’t know…). My balance started at + 300$....By an interesting stroke of Luck I managed to win my first 10 Wagers or so bringing my balance to about 4K at it’s highest, so I really got a chance to do my ‘test drive’ let us say….I wound up cashing out at 1.7K 5 weeks after opining my account. I must have rolled over my 300$ at least 30 times by the end of it all....
THEIR LIMITS: (D)
500$ US dollars on most all types of Bets……For me it is fine but I am sure some bigger players will find it low…personally I like the fact that they protect themselves
from sharp’s as I usually don’t play more than 500$ anyway…Amesome for smaller players of less than 500$.
THEIR LINES: (A +)
Wow, was I impressed with the line value at SIRBET…they deal an 8 cent line in MLB (it breaks sooner than pinny’s of course), & they offer reduced vig all the time in NBA (-108). I can often find the VERY BEST # at sirbet, especially in MLB. Interesting variations of lines offered on ½ time lines. Also interesting PROPS in NBA. They do not have overnite lines unless it is a big Playoff game or something to that effect. In this day & age where lines are usually coppied from 1 book to another there is defiantly some line value here
THEIR SOFTWARE: (D -)
Corby, If you are reading this this is not intended to bash…but you HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR SOFTWARE…the dark blue is not a pleasant background & very hard on the eyes…the menus are difficult to manage, it is difficult to see all the info you need on 1 screen…..the software often bounces me around from page to page without me actually wanting too if I haven’t clicked on a page…..Browsing the Menu is not a Quick experience….hate to say this…but hop over to Pinny to see what a nice color schematics is like with a ‘SIMPLE’ yet ‘EFFECTIVE’ software.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: (rating pending….)
I only had to call the office ONCE & they resolved my problem quickly…the girl at the other end of the phone had a bit of an attitude but I find this to be Common place in the Offshore world….CSR training is not big on the agenda down there I guess. Anyway it was only a 30 second call & relatively ‘painless’. Other than that everything was handled ELECTRONICALLY through the website.
WITHDRAWALS: (A +)
I got my withdrawal the very same day I requested it through neteller for FREE, I am not sure exactly how many Free Withdrawls they offer per month, however I know it is at least 1….lol.
CONCLUSION:
I will defiantly post up with SIRBET again but looking forward to some changes with the software.
