BetEmpire is opperated by the same people that run Superior Book. I have been playing with each of these books since the beginning of the NCAA Tournament last season. They are both solid books. Jimmy Mason is in charge over there. I have received two Western Union payouts from them in the past 10 days. Each time the money was in my hands within 24 hours. They have excellent customer service. One of the things I like with them is that when you do a live chat with them they send you an email of the entire transcript. This is very nice because you won't get screwed over if the customer service person tells you something and then someone else tells you something else. I have been screwed over by VIP on two different occasions in situations such as this. I wish all books did this. Their initial rating of F by SBR was when they were associated with another company. I would deffinately reccomenr Betempire or Superior Book
