Some good advice for those newer players who have not played much offshore, or for those that play at one book only.

What are the top 3 things you look for?

Risk vs. reward ratio

Payout structure

Customer service




These three come to mind immediately.

Good lines for my type betting.

Easy to navigate site.

Fast payouts so I can manuever money to other sites.

2. Payout history
3. Customer Service

If we look at these 3 important requirements when choosing a good book, I come to this conclusion when considering Royal or Betus/Omni for my book.

1. Reputation- Dont make me laugh. Royal and Betus/Omni are the laughing stock of the sportsbook industry. They are known for all things negative.

2. Payout History- Dont make me laugh. Royal and Betus/Omni are well known for either slow paying winners or stiffing them and eventually making them bogus deals.

3. Customer Service- Dont make me laugh. Royal and Betus/Omni are well known to have the most dishonest employees on the face of this earth. Unless you like getting hassled when your balance hits zero or getting the run around for three weeks when trying to get paid, the C.S. at these places is a freakin joke!

The bootom line is that we want to get paid. Getting free points or laying just 105, or having great props, this stuff is irrelevant if we cant get paid in a respectable fashion. Nothing matters but the payout experience.

Is their a listing of who has the lowest netteller fees? thanks-

There are many books who offer this service free at some point each month...Best way to answer your question more specifically would be to start a thread on it.

Reputation. If the book doesn't pay out money owed, then a nickel line doesn't matter....

1. Fair odds, especially on future odds. It says a lot about a sportsbook if they offer rip-off odds on futures.
2. No BS when withdrawing like requesting ID or any other stall tactic.
3. Website design... easy to navigate, good selection of bets.

#1 Do they PAY.
#2 Are there numbers just "cloned" like most offshore joints.
#3 Are there numbers soft.
