You want my opinion on the safest book on the planet?
MATCHBOOK
Simple reason why. Matchbook takes 0 risk. They get paid on commision.
Instead of SPORTSBOOK vs GAMBLER, its GAMBLER VS GAMBLER.
I would feel comfortable leaving a million at MATCHBOOK.

Correct. You will never have a problem there. I did a dispute one time with a player and WSEX. The guy was hitting the same game and the software was not working. He admitted doing it, but the question was should the book pay out? And if so should it be the entire amount? Line never moved, the guy pounded the same game over and over again until he had about a 50k bet down. This was during the middle of the night and nobody else was around to catch it.
First thing the guy from WSEX told me was regardless of how it's ruled the guy's bets won. We don't deserve to keep the money either way. If the ruling is against the player we will run a contest at the RX for 50k, I don't feel like we should keep the money. Never forgot that, so many times you deal with other shit books who try to screw the players if the pot is big enough, WSEX was the polar opposite. They didn't want what didn't belong to them. Not only classy outfit but well funded as well.

Pat, I must be messed up on the time line. If WSEX is going to pay the guy, why would there be a dispute and a ruling? How did that deal turn out? That overnight deal with no one a round is probably why Cascade has a 500 limit during the night. Thanks, LT
none ..............think its an unneccessary risk to trust any operation that can have laws changed against them at any point if you live in the usa
its one thing to move less than 10 k around at a few books
but if you had 50 k at 3 and a rule was changed you could find yourself in a nasty position
if you say its your business and you couldnt not post up - then id only go with uk regulated or aust regulated ones. these carribbean ones are obviously the most risky books available.
because gambling is legal in aust would be very hard for the us govt to put you in a position of weakness where your capital would be at risk.
just my opinion

LT, it really wasnt a dispute,but WSEX was holding the money to find out how this happened.Like the guy said the software wasnt working.At Cascade they limit you to 500,and you cant double ,triple hit them period. At WSEX at the time it just kept taking the bets,wasnt adjusting the line and wasnt limiting him to 500 total.
They just needed sometime to figure out why this happened.
