Newbie looking for good offshore

$haggy · Sep 29, 2004

I'm new around here, and new to offshore gaming in general. Never had an account with anyone before (other then my local bookies). I'm looking to find out who is reliable and who isn't. Any suggestions on a good place to start? Also - how much do you guys initially invest in these operations? I'm afraid to drop a large amount of money in there laps until I know things are on the up and up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start out with www.pinnaclesports.com. You wont regret.

welcome shaggy.....for a strict newbee I would go with Pinny or Olympic sports (thegreek.com)

Either one of those are rock soild and you can not go wrong ...good luck

Strictly for a Newbie, I would recommend Pinnacle or WSEX.

Pinnacle is as good as it gets....But for a newbie (who may have lots of questions)keep in mind you must correspond via the internet, if you use Pinnacle you cannot call them on the phone....I recommend WSEX, GRANDE, or CRIS(football)...all 3 are excellent.

That Is One Downer About Pinnacle. You Really Cannot Call Up And Start Asking A Bunch Of Questions. Otherwise A Very Good Shop.

ERROR MY FRIEND.

Just curious why people say you can't call Pinny? They have an 800 number that I have used many times for wagering and the occasional question. :messed:

Need to ask a lot of questions? All the ones mentioned plus V-Wager.

In ALL cases READ THE RULES!!!!!! (Before Fishhead beheads me with the 30 day rule)

ASK!!
ASK!!
ASK!!

Before depositing.

I'm sure that is true, but if they have the number, they should expect us to use it when needed. :awesom:

TommyMullins · Sep 29, 2004

You Are 100% Correct. I Think They Should Encourage Not Discourage People To Call. Whats The Big Deal. The Cost Of The Call Is Cheap And The Labor Shouldnt Cost Much Either.

A great shop for the small recreational player is also BET365

15% SIGN-UP BONUS

You might as well play with the best. WSEX...Olympic...Pinnacle. Play with one of those 3 and we won't have to hear you posting later in the year about how you are getting screwed over by xyz book.

$haggy · Sep 29, 2004

Thanks to all you guys for the quick responses. I think Im gonna go with Pinnacle. :aktion033

TommyMullins · Sep 29, 2004

Pinnacle Is Good. When The Time Comes, Consider Grande (high Limits), Pci (minus 105 Juice) And Wwts/greek (best Prop Menus) As Well. Best Of Luck!
