BEST ONLINE SPORTSBOOK - OR WORST ONLINE SPORTSBOOK
Beware of these online sportsbooks:
SPORTSBOOK.COM - Withdrawals are very difficult. They require one week to 'process' your withdrawal; processing should take one hour, not one week. After processing, you need to fax them a copy of your drivers license?! Then you must fax them a copy of your utility bill?! Then you must wait a few more weeks for your check to arrive. The whole process for your first withdrawal takes almost 2 months.
BODOG.COM - The true Low-Roller sportsbook. Bodog continues to put forth the lowest max bets in the industry. Betting a NFL football Season Win Total, say New York Giants Over 10 wins for the season? The most Bodog allows is $300. What a joke! Also, Bodog only allows $500 max deposits via credit card. All of their max bets are the lowest of all sportsbooks.
WORLD SPORTS EXCHANGE - Continued complaints pile up concerning their withdrawal policy. Most withdrawal checks are mysteriously 'lost'. Then the process really begins. WSX employees do their best to ignore your requests for Tracking #s or shipping information. The accounting department will refer you to the customer service department; the customer service department will refer you to the accounting department. It's all basically a scam to delay your withdrawal. Why? Two reasons. Most gamblers are impatient, and will end up making more bets with the money still in their account. That's what they want you to do. Reason Two, WSX collects interest on their money, so delaying all withdrawals by a month or two makes them money. Expect 6 weeks for WSX withdrawals.
Additional: WSX has the widest moneylines in the business. Not good for bettors.
BOOKMAKER.COM - This might be advanced for some, but this rule is so wrong it should be illegal: Two-team Teaser bet rule: one win and one tie = the best is cancelled; but one loss and one tie = you lose. This goes against all established betting rules. How can you have a bet where you can lose or push, but cannot win? Massive advantage for the house. They cannot lose! If one of your games pushes, they either win or push. Amazing. I've dealt with Bookmaker.com before and they are so ignorant, I actually believe they do not understand this rule is wrong.
The true problem with this sportsbook is their website. It looks as if the website was designed by 4th grader. Very difficult to navigate. And customer service is worthless; they don't speak or understand English.
BETUS.COM - If you win too much at this online sportsbook, they label you a professional and freeze your account! Sound unbelievable? By all accounts, it's happened dozens of times. And there is no recourse. BetUs.com's office is located in a strip mall in Costa Rica. There is nothing you can do.
ODDSMAKER.COM - This sham of a sportsbook boasts a 135% sign-up bonus. The sign-up bonus once you join is actually zero. 15% of that bonus is a refer-a-friend bonus. 20% is re-load bonus. (How can you re-load or refer a friend if you are Signing up for the first time?!) That leaves us with 100% left. The 100% bonus is given out after you bet your entire deposit 30 times. 30 times!!! Imagine you deposit $100 bucks. You then have to bet that $100 bucks thirty times to receive your $100 deposit bonus. Geez! You have a 50/50 chance of losing your $100 after just one bet; how about 30 bets? Their bonus is a complete sham.
Want to go somewhere else? Most online sportsbooks have opened up sister sites to conquer competition. For example:
Sportsbook.com owns & operates all of these online sportsbooks from their small office in Costa Rica: Superbook.com, PlayersOnly.com, Logans.com, Sportsbook.com, Racebook.com, Mysportsbook.com, BetUsa.com, Sports.com, Sportsbetting.com, & Allstar.com. Yep, all the same owner in the small jungle office located in San Jose, Costa Rica.
If you're sending your money to these third world sportsbooks you're a braver man than I am.
