Hey I'm a newbie and I was wondering if anybody had any information on Chas Williams and Instant Action Sportsbook. He called me the other day offering me quite a bonus. Figuring it's too good to be true. I don't play for the bonuses but they have dimelines in baseball and decent juice in football so I might give them a try. Wondering if any of you out there know of this guy and/or sportsbook? Thanks all!

Stay away, don't be a bonus whore and stick to solid books, sportsbook review of a C- RATING IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I have heard stories about Chas Williams for years. He singlehandedly started some of the biggest books in Costa Rica today. Whether he backed them financially or just gave them players, he is the man. He's the only bookie in Costa Rica who goes by his real name. No one messes with this guy, he has an untouchable reputation on the street. The deal he talked to you about probably did sound to good to be true. Almost everything I heard about him seems to follow the same pattern. but . . I am a believer, he's legit.

I don’t know Chas Williams, but Instant Action has been around for a long time and I have not heard any complaints about them.

They have been on the Don Best service for over 5 years without any issues.

Good Luck

because I am a smaller player who would keep less than 1k in the book, bet less than $200 a game and has never heard one complaint about this book.

Rick,

No offense, but I wouldn't play at either. There are much better choices out there.

Clutch,

Shiz make a good point. Pick any of the places listed above and you will not have any problems. There are plenty of bonuses and perks offered by many of them.

I had not heard any complaints about IAS, but Michael is not in here trying to bash anybody, he is sharing a real experience.

Thanks,
Rick

Chas Williams took down Action Bets. He was a rogue agent that didn't pay the winners. Action Bets then bailed out the players Chas stiffed and that cost Action Bets dearly. Posters laughed at this including Clip Joint and many people in Costa Rica patronize this guy because he runs a radio show. He is a real blowhard and I personally found out the hard way. Stay away or be stiffed. Stay with b- or better books. Why do we have to keep telling posters to stay away from shit books?

Maybe you never heard of any complaints,but Don Best,I'm sure received complaints about IA.I know of at least 3 people complaining about slow pays to DB ,me being one of them.

You have no idea how stupid you look promoting SBG and now IA,do you?
