Between unpacking from fishing, to installing a new sink and gas range, I have time for this. Signed up for these two and Canbet. New ponds for FROG expansion. Each one unique with pros and cons. Canbet still under evaluation. Not enough time yet. But other two passed my tests. They do not pay me to advertise, one does here, one does not. Gave RX credit for Platinum sign up. Started off with $2500, Got $500. Added more to operate no bonus. Everything explained up front, rollover, I think 3x, I never pay attention to rollovers, and time, 30 days. Customer service well spoken and professional throughout, except girl who reprimanded me on a honest mistake. As far as betting, A FROG best in class, a very rare award for true 5 cent juice on NBA sides and totals. It is a keeper for that alone. Bases look to be 10 cent up to 1.50. Gotchas are 30 cent 1/4 lines both side and total. Horses not wanted with low WPS. Listed on Don Best. Look like air moves on steam, sometimes put up a best number on board. Especially with nickel juice. All internet bets, site very user friendly. Cute babe wants to be teased. I went my month, and pretty soon I had about tripled the frogs I planted originally. Limits standard. Never had a problem, no reject or timeout bets. No mid bet line changes. Upon withdrawal time, just take original frogs out, leave theirs in there, as I think this is a keeper, for the nickel juice alone, I call in, verify Neteller and get back to back, no problem. I also stated I had no intention of leaving after bonus requirements met. I will bet them hard in the NBA Playoffs. But from sign up to withdrawal, very good customer service, 1 small black mark. Betting, best in class for nickel offer. Site, straight forward, easy. FROG benjamin rating.

Tradewinds. I barely scatched the surface here, even though I was there for 3 months. Signup a 20% cash bonus, I forget the rollover, pretty high and 90 days hold. But it was a large deposit, so bonus was also. Very good horse shop. Easy to bet software. One of my fastest. A keeper for that alone. Good selection of tracks also. Decent lines, sometimes real slow movers. Nickel internet limit may explain that. But I always take a look as they are Don Best also. Call center has higher limits, but calling slows me down. So I never used it. Not a clone, especially with horses. After a 3 month grind earned another 30%. Met bonus requirements either horses or sports. All bonuses paid, and customer service excellent throughout. Again upon first withdrawal explained I was staying, and really liked the site. Two netellers, one per day. Was not charged at either place for withdrawals. I have left the last 3 ponds I added. Two of these 3 seem to be keepers. For different reasons but depends on your action. Just relaying my experiences, as I wish more people would.

24 Black Bass up to 3 1/2 lbs. Below average for me. Water temp dropped and shut off the deeper fish. Before the cold storms we had 10 days springlike temps, 70F. Trip before this, 30 to 8lbs, with 5 near 5lbs. Best ever in my entire life. Mobile bait station worked perfect. Lost the biggest hookup of the day, heavy fish, in deep water. Only one of the day. Pumped it off the bottom seven pulls, on my heavy rod. Spit the hook. Never saw it. Next time I will. Back to kitchen remodling, laters...OF:digit:

BetPlatinum is alleged to have withheld winnings of so-called professional players. I think keeping funds at this book is risky business.

You may be thinking of the "other" Platinum.

PlatinumSB and BetPlatinum are two different books.

I am 100% certain we are talking about "BetPlatinum."

So am I.

I'm also 100% certain that Omnivorous Frog is talking about PlatinumSB.

I dont see where platinum advertises 5% at their site.

Also, under odds they have the following notation :

All straight wagers lay-110/100 unless other otherwise specified.

Is that [the 5%] just a special for NBA?

You are the man Doug. Never collected a referal bonus in my entire career. But I am scared you will get in there and leave nothing for me. :103631605

Actually the only things I am good at are betting, fishing and hunting. Played all sports in H.S. and the Navy. Bowling, flat out suck. Scuba diving, spent hundreds on lessons, first time down to 40 feet, this ain't for me. Skiing, never tried it. Tennis, suck. Golf, suck badly. Growing up I was pointed towards the front door. Whatever entertainment was free, I enjoyed, it was all I could afford. No scouts, was asked to leave. All the fish and frogs I caught, sold for profit. Pheasants, ducks and geese. Same. Just to pay for ammo, hooks, etc. Played a lot of baseball. But quit organized little league after line drive nailed 1B in head. Was a dead pull lefty. By 14 was gambling, by 16, betting sports and horses. Fished and hunted, everyday I could. Fished every chance I had in Navy. My baby pictures are with Striped Bass way bigger than me. When I want competition, go to party boat. When I want solitude, go to private ponds. Usually have 10 or more rods and reels in truck. Fish with all my kids. Catch lizards and frogs. When you are a kid, and live next to several hundred acres of ditches, ponds and fields, it does not matter if you have empty pockets. I will get digital camera and take a photo and post it. It may seem like I succeed at everything, because I gave up everything I sucked at, which is everything else.

Sorry I am not good at much...OF:movingeye

4th trip this season, all others 30+ bass. So it was below average. Bluegill are still dormant. Will get up to 50 fish per day when they start hitting. Bear in mind, I am a sun up to sundown fisherman. The best part is letting them go. It took many years to appreciate that.

Best Wishes Kissee, say Hello to Molly.:Countdown
