Why do you or dont you like sportsbook.com?

jasin4000 · Aug 31, 2006

I know there are many other better books out there, and maybe thats the reason not to even mess with sb.com but i find them a decent book...I always got paid, they allow 4 free withdraws a month, decent lines.

They are in with paradise poker so I mean thats a big poker site...thats mainly another reason why I like to play there too.

Just thought of this because they just changed thier site last night.

Just throwing out some stuff about a decent site :icon_conf

sportsbook.com was my first ever book...it was good for that...too many better options out there now that i've been around.

i haven't used in over 2 years....also had a great run in their casino until one dark dreary night!

lol...one dark dreary night. I think many people have had those nights. I've never used them. Maybe I'll give them a try.

I still use sportsbook.com rather frequently.

You can often find a slightly better line than at pinnacle when you are betting against the public there.

They allow you to parlay runlines with totals, which most (or all) other books dont allow.

I keep a bankroll at paradisepoker.com so its convienient for me.

That bieng said, 9 times out of 10 you can find a better line elsewhere and should do so, but once in a while its usable.

I found them on the score phone back about 10 years ago ...actually they were my second book.

orbit · Aug 31, 2006

Have used them for years and never ever had a problem ... payouts have never been over 48 hours and usually within 24

Have enjoyed playing there in the past.........as well as Paradise Poker.

Bowman's was my first book. I was actually playing D1 football and a couple of the players told me about it. :missingte

Sportsbook.com was my 2nd book I think also. I had no clue about the internet really so I typed in www.sportsbook.com and that is how I found it. I didn't know about search engines or any of that. I just typed it in blindly thinking that is how the web worked...and there it was.

:lolBIG:

I also didn't have a clue about betting other than knowing sports. I would bet those 40 cent prop lines almost everyday. What a rip off.

I was also slow paid like there was no tomorrow. I was scared at the time thinking it was because I was an athlete betting on our own games. I thought that was why they were auditing my account.

Haven't used them in many years now. Do they still use the V-Chips?

Try winning. I have great respect for the guys at www.sportsbookreview.com and they have them rated D+. No reason in the world to play at a book rated D+.

Playing there since 2001 and have won some and lost some but always got paid in timely manner. I have had good luck getting some decent numbers during football.

ClipJoint · Aug 31, 2006

I can understand newbies playing there...but have no clue why anyone that is privy to the information on this site would have them as an out. Unless of course you are already funded at about 25 other books.

paradise poker. think they have the best software

Great prop lines.

-105 on certain days is nice.

Quick payouts up to like $2000.

If I want more than $5000 out from them, I do everything I can to pet it out to someone like Pinnacle or WSEX.

Payouts over $5000 always take 7-10 days in my experience and that is with pressure from me...

Not a huge concern betting it out as they are financially secure and if I run it way up, I can wait the week, but I think it sucks that they jerk you like that.

I liked them overall while I used them. Good perks, easy to get deposits in, and sometimes had a better line than other places.

Downside is their grading is slow and lines are sometimes late coming up. The software on the website is not the greatest either.

They are good to have as one out, but you will need others.
