i'm steering away from bodog. since their latest "forgot to re-register their domain" debacle, i'm getting away from them. also, they changed their payout method to "we will send you a check within 30 business days".


how is sportsbook?

9/11/2007 3:24:42 PM

^ SHITTY they take forever to cash out and their o/u lines dont post til late

9/11/2007 3:33:00 PM

Ive heard some buddies talking about betjamaica and how they will send you an atm card that you can use at any atm to withdraw money from your account. Not a bad idea I suppose if you gamble a lot and carry a large bankroll.

9/11/2007 3:53:31 PM

sportsbook got me a check in 3 weeks...

the O/U are posted late, but other than that its good, pm me if you want a referral or more info

[Edited on September 11, 2007 at 5:02 PM. Reason : i left bodog for the same reason]

9/11/2007 5:02:44 PM

^^^i agree, i really get annoyed with sportsbook. it takes way too long for the O/U and ML to post. i also feel like they don't offer a very wide array of spreads. i would like to place a few future bets every now and then but they never have anything decent

9/11/2007 5:07:55 PM

I get my checks from SportsInteraction usually within 7 days. The longest I think one has taken is 10days. They also still seem to accept a lot of check cards. My Bank of America check card still works directly on there. By far the best site I think in terms of depositing and the quickness of getting your money out.

They also do wire transfers directly to your bank account that usually take a few days to deposit.

9/11/2007 5:09:07 PM

but isnt one of the advantages (for security/legal purposes) of a site like bodog is that they dont directly charge your card? my buddy was saying something about his deposits being billed to e-flowers.com or some other generic sounding names

9/11/2007 5:10:01 PM

I've never had an issue with worrying about the legal issues. And I have been gambling online for about 7 years. SIs charge also just showes up as a bunch of numbers and Dubai in the charge, nothing that would suggest a gambling site directly. I don't think the government is as worried about the individuals placing the bets as they are about the websites. If you are this paranoid over it, then I would suggest not doing it. But like I said, I have never heard or even read of anyone getting in trouble for sports betting online.

9/11/2007 5:16:53 PM

yeah, i've made a few withdraws from pinnacle (when they had U.S. customers) and now sportsbook and have never had a problem.

9/12/2007 1:21:44 AM

Anyone else liking The Saints -4 at the Bucs?

Cincy -7 at Cleveland looks really good too.

[Edited on September 12, 2007 at 2:29 AM. Reason : m]

9/12/2007 2:28:48 AM

Saints still -3 at Sportsbook

9/12/2007 7:46:50 PM

Fuck, I took WVU last night at -17.5 now its moved to -16.5

9/12/2007 11:36:31 PM

Yeah, I went the other way. Here are my next few bets. Depending on the UMD result, I'll probably add a few more.

Maryland +19.5
Saints -2.5
Packers 0
Seahawks -2.5
Bengals -6
Louisville -6.5
Ohio St. -4

(bought points on both the UMD and Saints lines)

9/13/2007 12:50:22 AM

I actually like kentucky this week.

9/13/2007 12:54:16 AM

^ should be a hell of a shoot out

9/13/2007 5:33:36 PM

Anyone see anybody w/ a ML bet available on Hawaii/UNLV? spread is around 17 but i actually think UNLV will pull it off.....

9/13/2007 5:55:02 PM

^ UNLV is at +700 at 5dimes right now

just put up the line recently for the NCSU Wofford game, state is 12.5 favorite .. so crazy how we are double digit favorites with the losing streak we have now ... not even gonna touch that one.

[Edited on September 13, 2007 at 6:08 PM. Reason : balls]

9/13/2007 6:06:29 PM

Why is there a line on a 1-AA game? I thought no lines were offered for those.

^^^Sure, UNLV might cover the spread, but no way they beat UH heads up.

I have this tonight

I placed this parlay on Tuesday for the WVU game, but wish I had waited, WVU is -16.5 now, HUGE difference.

Anyway, here it is

WVU -17.5
TCU moneyline
Oklahoma St moneyline

paying 3-1


Gonna hedge it if TCU and WVU cover since the Ok St game is tomorrow night

[Edited on September 13, 2007 at 6:16 PM. Reason : bn]

9/13/2007 6:11:39 PM

^ it's up at 5dimes under college Xtra .. the juice is -115 on both sides though

9/13/2007 6:12:48 PM

man does sportsbook suck putting up ML's in a timely manner

9/13/2007 6:15:04 PM

With the way UNLV played against Whisky, and the way Hawaii played against Monroe, you'd have to think UNLV can keep it within 17. Also, Hawaii did not return home after the Monroe game, they've been hanging out somewhere in the contiguous U.S., so I wonder how being on a week long road trip will affect their performance

9/13/2007 6:16:46 PM

I'd like that WVU game a lot better if I could get it for 16.5....

9/13/2007 6:47:05 PM

just to give me something to watch, I took WV/Maryland U61 and TCU-8

9/13/2007 6:51:33 PM

took maryland +17 they've been holding their own this year

Sure, they might cover the spread, but thats hot what he was asking for. He was asking for moneyline odds which is a straight up win. No way they beat UH outright.

SportsInteraction has it at that right now, plus a 10% deposit bonus. You have 32 min. GO!

[Edited on September 13, 2007 at 7:09 PM. Reason : .n]

9/13/2007 7:08:08 PM

I took Maryland at +9.5 for the first half.

I think WVU will pull away in the end but Maryland comes out strong.

Plus I got it at even money.

9/13/2007 7:13:39 PM

took wvu -16.5 (even though i think maryland pulls the upset)

Over 43 in the TCU/Air Force game

glad i bought that .5 point

9/13/2007 11:05:59 PM

I always buy the point to get it to 10, 13, 14, 17 etc.

an extra 10 cents on the juice is worth it for that piece of mind IMO

9/13/2007 11:09:55 PM

Addition for the week.

Maryland +19.5 W
Saints -2.5
Packers 0
Seahawks -2.5
Bengals -6
Louisville -6.5
Ohio St. -4

Just added
Dallas -3.5

9/14/2007 12:03:32 AM

9/14/2007 12:56:49 AM

I like the 3 big road faves this week

Dallas at -3.5
NO at -3
NE at -3

9/14/2007 12:58:39 AM

That moneyline parlay is dead already and its not even saturday... ouch

9/14/2007 9:10:55 AM

haha 9 team parlays are a little risky, even at those odds

9/14/2007 12:23:22 PM

Yeah if Im gonna play a 9 team parlay might as well make it worth it and go ATS and throw like 3 bucks on it, no biggie if you lose but still a nice payout if you win.

9/14/2007 3:32:31 PM

Gonna try it again this weekend, I like this parlay a lot more than last nights, and only 4 teams

damn man, you need to settle down. you really have that much faith in freaking Indiana and Michigan State? GL though, not hating.

9/14/2007 6:26:11 PM

^^ just an fyi, the 32 pts or so that troy put on the board against florida last week happened in the 2nd half when they took their starters out

9/14/2007 6:33:05 PM

I know, but I don't think OK state is very good either

I never bet baseball, but put a little on the Yanks tonight just because I'll probly be watching a good part of that game

Pettite at -117

I wish I could have gotten them at 10 instead of 10.5 I think that half point is gonna fuck me like it did last night.

Jesus fucking christ, OSU turns it over on the first play.
