Winning at the wrong book sucks !

Doug · Feb 5, 2006

Win at places like SIA, Wagerweb, Skybook sucks, they'll pay ya, but not promptly !

All 3 kinda are the same sucky B- type books, they are all worthy of the same "Dougy" rating.

Any decent book would process a WD by noon if put in now, no chance with SIA, or WW, slim shot with Sky paying before kick-off.

Pretty unacceptable to me, esp. if I pay the fees ( SKY), WW is better.

For the record Wagerweb has given me a free half since forever on hoops , even totals, and for $500, and off 7 in foots, even used to be 5k limit.

Skybook is the most over-rated book I've ever seen ! They are about #58 in importance to me.

Bet Jam is useless, also, use Oly, both will pay with speed, but Oly offers more, CRIS is kinda useless for the most part, but I play there too.

Tough to do, depends what you want, for immediate pays at any hour Pinny and Oly, don't know a 3rd book that pays upon demand 24/7.

Mansion pays everthing once a day within a window of time, to my understanding, always within 24 hours, I decide WD amount after games, it's there in AM, I don't know if Manny pays in 30 min at 2pm EST, i Think not, never tried, I'm cool with current Manny pays to me, never tried a 2nd one in a day, I may test that !

Changes daily, for Sun the most important books to me are Mansion, Nojuice, and SIA, I have reasons why , after SB I don't care much about SIA.

Agree Doug. It's like winning but not winning. It's like waiting for a check to clear at the local bank.

Can't speak for the others, but I've always gotten checks via Fedex from Skybook within 2 days.

Ya that sucks I won a couple grand at Olympic withdrew no problem got them to fedex me a check it was here in a couple days and I'm in Newfoundland Canada it takes stuff longer to get here anyway I put the check in the bank and because it was a US funds check there was a 21 day hold put on it and thats 21 working days just about a month before I could get at the money.
Now I use neteller EFT instacash bank transfer it usually takes 1 or 2 days and its in my account with no hold and its free cant beat that man.

You are actually in Newfoundland? Closest I got was Shearwater. Nova Scotia. I have to get out my atlas and dream a vacation on that one. How is the fishing? Awesome dogs.

OMNIVOROUS FROG · Feb 5, 2006

To help you, and people like you, Doug. That and the entertainment value. Everyonce in awhile someone may post a thread that I actually earn at. Latest, Rail's Hingis. You had a winning days? If I was not earning, I would not be able to be here. Just another way to keep myself amused.

Frog, you going to have a superbowl lock for us after the game?

OMNIVOROUS FROG · Feb 5, 2006

No I gave out Seattle 23-1 in October, I am going to hedge back. I had them at 7-1 to win NFC, so only loss was Caro insurance. Also, my props are posted under a prop thread, my MVP play is in the NFL thread. I may take some Seattle +. So, as usual, everything is up, before the game, thanks wil, I mean Lander.

If you are not lo pro in Vegas, you will be ex pro. The casino, sportsbook, house player gig was the sweetest in my career. Been there, done that, not available any longer. Vegas is for poker, contests and touts. Maybe radio show guests. I bet myself out of business in a minute, same would happen today. Offshore is King. Not about to go backwards in my degenerate career path. I leave that to the Fezzik's of the world, gathering up the corporate crumbs.
