The book giving you a "rebate" is ok..played there, lost and promptly rebated..that said some weird rules, kinda positions themselves between a post up and credit shop, they pay, but they are in the business of discouraging hit/run post up players..guys who will post up and win and cash, or lose for the rebate in a day.
The betpoints idea itself is ok, but why play for 10 cent lines with a low bonus when you can play at matchbook or a nickle juice shop and the $$ saved you can buy your own gifts cheaper.
