VIP, Gameday, etc.

Been a while since I've read any feedback, positive or negative, on these books.

Anyone have any strong feelings, one way or the other?

I know they've been known to boot winners...

But do they pay, and pay quickly?
How sharp are the lines and moves?
How much money is safe to leave in an account there?
Are the clerks smart enough to comprehend a phone book, and to place it even when the punter has to be a little quiet?
How are the variety of bets?

No one has any opinions on these shops?

Dual lines if they peg you anything above a square loser.

Great customer svc unless you win or play anything sharp. Than you get the overally rude european manager who will make you want to buy a plane ticket to punch him in the mouth.

With all the solid shops on this site they endorse, you are sily to play at VIP, Gameday, etc.

Anyone who endorses them does not win long term. Sure they pay fast, but once they determine you might actually win long term, say bye bye to your account.

I would sign up with them and if they boot you, who cares. Move on to another book. Most importantly, they pay.

Johnny D --

Thanks for the feedback.

Thing is, I do go on streaks when I win and win substantially, but no one would ever peg me as a 'sharp'. When I win, it's because I have the good fortune to pick a large number of winners on a consistent basis...not because I'm shopping for lines, middling etc. So if they wouldn't disqualify a player who just happened to hit a hot-streak, I don't have much to worry about.

My only concern is that if I did win 5 or 10 dimes (it has happened over a short period) would they pay and boot, or boot and keep the cash?

they wont keep your cash,they will pay

TheGeneral+ · Jun 16, 2004

I am very confident in the pay and then boot.

They like to reduce your limits to $50 when they think you are too sharp for them.

Why not just boot somebody rather than pull that kind of crap.

dogs24, you need to read the boards more. VIP and Gameday are SHIT books. VIP will cut your limits to $50 if you are a notch above an idiot bettor. Gameday will throw you out if you win. If you win right away they will "STEAL" back the bonus they gave you. These phony books do not deserve your patronage.
