Wagerweb used to be one of my favorite outs but I stopped playing with them since I didnt like their baseball lines. Well now that basketball season is in full gear, I decided to come back and have been pleasantly surprised. They have a unique reup bonus which is kinda cool. Everyone gets a 10% cash reup bonus and you also get an additional matchplay bonus up to 30%. Everytime you re-deposit and lose, your next matchplay bonus is increased. This is in addition to the cash bonus and its only a 5 time rollover. This is also in addition to the loyalty cash points you get. But the best part about wagerweb is they are the only few remaining of the solid books offering Western Union and Moneygram payouts. Most of the big shops take WU deposits but no payouts WU. $2000 max daily WU payouts plus they cover the WU payout fees up to $65 every month. Customer service is solid. I submitted a request online for a WU payout last night and it was been processed and waiting for me to pick up this afternoon. This is a solid shop to have for baskets and foots.

LAME

i log in and just playing around with possible wagers, i notice they changed their teaser payoffs. real lame, they did this basically overnight as some teasers I did last week, would now pay less (20 cent changes it appears like) made today. and they haven't updated their teaser payoff chart on the website so you won't have a clue until you are ready to confirm the wager and read the confirmation details. and for those of you that didn't know, effective recently Wagerweb has stopped letting you leave open spots on parlays/teasers. This book is plummeting in my mind

WOW, now that they have done this, (and when i say done this, i mean take away everything that made them different from other books within the past 96 hours) no reason to stick around. at all! Go to pinny, cascade, betmania for reduced juice, betmania still does WU and moneygram for deposits/withdrawls if that's what you prefer. WW doesn't even post ncaa lines until NOON the day of, and TOTALS until 5pm! I just tolerated all this because of the teasers they had and ability to leave wagers open...now all that stuff is SHOT.

I've been using them too. Good book IMO. B rating at SBR is about right

so right now, if you want to make a teaser, you have NO IDEA at all what any number of teams/points would payoff because what it currently says is bogus. just called them and told them if they are going to change shit that easy at least change the payoff charts on the website so we know. CS told me new chart should be up in 10min.

Pinny, Cascade, BetCRIS do WU deposits only, not withdrawals. If you deposit WU and want to withdraw, you have to choose another method which is ridiculous because you should have the same method for payout with which you had deposited and I've seen several posts for people looking for books with WU payouts.

i was referencing pinny and cascade for reduced juice. Betmania has Reduced juice AND the WU for deposits/money gram. Why pay -110 at wagerweb when you can get -108 or -107 at betmania. before today, I would have answered that question with Wagerweb having good teaser odds and letting you leave plays open. But that's all changed.

Do they still have the ridiculous rule where you have to give $5 in regular wagers for every $1 in prop wagers? That was why I left a long time ago. I don't tolerate a sportsbook telling me what I can and cannot bet on.

pinnacle no longer accepts WU. been this way for a couple of months.


For the record:

Pinnacle has Western Union SwiftPay- Available for USD Accounts in the USA Only: WU MoneyGram also available for accounts in the USA.




Pinnacle FAQs.... See #4 under depesoit methods.


I am not comparing the two - just trying to be accurate. Personally I like both books very much.

wagerweb is a top tier book with longevity. they are not for players who only play props and yes, their teaser odds have increased. but so have many other books.

for people who complain that they dont offer anything, they do offer a rebate on volume, and if you play predominantly straight wagers and do not play only steam, they will increase your internet wagers if you request. My limits are up to 5 dimes on sides and totals in the hoops. they also offer unique teasers/pleasers that many other books dont have. as also stated, they offer very generous bonuses as well. i also received a free sirius radio with lifetime service from them as they are giving away lots of prizes that you can redeem with your loyaly points. wagerweb is a top tier book that most people here should play with.

I've been playing there for about a year and a half now. They are solid. I love their Beat The Bookie contest each week during football season. I have won money at least 8 weeks this football season. I love dealing with their customer service reps. They are willing to work with you. After dealing with the pathetic customer service at VIP it is very refreshing doing business with Wager Web.

5 Dimes is a joke to make teasers at!! In the NFL they'll put the line at like 10+30 when everyone has 7 or 7 1/2 so you can't tease

no they don't, come on. you can go to covers.com and see the 5dimes line side by side with other books. ty

and personally I think Betmania is the Best book for teasers. but 5dimes has tons thats better than wager web, better prop lines, Earlier lines, Halves MLs, alternate lines, etc.
