BE CAREFULL of Mybookie!!!

Mr.NBA · May 5, 2005

I just signed up with them today. 15 minutes after signing up with them I get a phone call from my VIP person. Asking me what type of player i am. She says i see that you are coming from the Rx(i put it on the where i heard of them from part in the app). And she says we are a site for recreational gamblers only. She starts asking me if I bet on sharpe plays/steam and also asks me how I bet. I tell her im an investment style better who takes a lot of dogs when the moneyline is in my favor. She says well we want you to make wagers on other games that are not just underdogs. Im thinking are you kidding me lady? How in the H E double L do these sporksbooks exist? WOW has pinny ever asked me to divulge my betting habbits?.....um no......wsex....um no......I would like another book or two, but damn it wont be mybookie. If she is giving me this much grief before I put money in I can only imagine how tough it would be to take out a couple G's. Good luck to all who use this recreational only site.......they should change their name to MYSQUARES.com.

I saw your post about them yesterday and I was going to warn you but figured someone else would.

they do this to anyone with an IQ above 50.:smoker2:

Mybookie has made this fact very clear and it is in their rules as well. Whether we like it or not, this is their policy and they have every right to decide whom they take action from and whom they do not.

Sorry for your aggravation, but it is good for them to let you know their policy upfront.

2. MYBOOKIE reserves the right to limit or refuse any wager from “wiseguys”, “scalpers”, “beards”, “middlers” and or, any player other than casual recreational players.

Just the way it is.

Best of luck

General please dont stick up for chit liek that....wow thats bad.....

aceduecetrey · May 5, 2005

I guess the thing to do would to not divulge that you heard about them here at the RX.

sherman · May 5, 2005

a buffett cannot turn away fat people......

sherman · May 5, 2005

then why advertise here?

Rainbow · May 5, 2005

I am completely lost, How in the world do they have the right to tell you which teams to bet? if I am a dog player in baseball that doesnt mean that I am a wiseguy, if it does please explain it to me.

TheGeneral+ · May 5, 2005

Sherman, makes me no difference. I am sticking up for no one here. The book has made this clear on several occasions. It should not surprise any long time poster.

lakerfan · May 5, 2005

Very poor. If on face they harrass customers who list RX as the source what is the point of even advertising here? This is a book that isn't in to giving even a line shopper a fair shot. MyBookie is the kind of book that should be avoided.

Mr.NBA · May 5, 2005

sherman thanks.....

general i saw that info. But a phone call questioning me was totally uncalled for. 99% of the peeps in this forum would not have appreciated that. Email one thing, calling me and talking to me for several minutes about my betting habbits.....thats BS. And thats why people shoud know about this.

sherman nice comment.....chit liek....lol...

That's insane. If they assume all forum readers are sharp they shouldn't advertise here. If they learned how to be bookmakers they wouldn't have to worry about this nonsense.

sherman · May 5, 2005

not really a suprise, but that doesnt make it right......i dont understand why they should have the right to refuse action, never understood it about casinos either.....unless someone was cheating......

could they say chinese players on avg win more, so we dont take chinese peoples bets? of course not....

Don't even think of betting a dog there.

They'll have a game -140/+130 when everyone else is -130/+120.

You hit that +130 and you'll be reduced to phone betting where they'll shade lines on you.

They want suckers who will only lay the bad number.:finger:

i heard the anthonyrichkas and master l were welcomed with open arms.

I personally think it would be a good idea to no longer list the RX as a referring source when we, the posters, signup for new books. If the RX is going to let books advertise here only to harrass us for telling the truth about where we found them, they should not even be on the RX.

MyBookie has treated players as a whole on this site worse than any other. There is not another book on the top of this page that will toss players faster (some sharp, some not) and make it impossible to bet with them even on their most generic lines. Throw in this **** they pulled today, and you can see what will happen if they aren't put in check. Extremely poor on their part.

:howdy:

If asked similiar questions, I'll just say I have no idea what I'm doing, I just crave action.

You pick up so much more just listening to others bragging how smart they are anyway... :dancefool

degenerategambler · May 5, 2005

I was fortunate to call before depositing, they asked all the same questions and more. The guy pretty much wanted me to guarantee I was going to lose if I was going to play there. I politely told them, I like to at least try to win and that their book wasn't for me. Plus I think they have a sticky bonus their as well. Crap book, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
