I used to only hear horror stories of locals or credit shops that would stiff players. The online A type books were "safe" for your funds. The merry-go-round of books is always changing. Some dont service US players, some don't pay. Some pay but take long and make you jump through hoops.

Currently, I have one post up (EZstreet) and two credit accounts. I haven't had any major problems with either but as I may want or need to find more outs soon, i'm curious to what the rest of my rx friends are doing.

I have never had a credit account.. post-up every time... but bonuses come with it so it helps if a book will still give u them

Credit account can be the same way....think of the bookie as the pit boss but with more power...they can give you Bonus Plays and rebates...probably less hoops to jump through

I like post up.. cannot lose what you don't put up.... do wish I had credit for futures though... i love playing them but being a small bettor just ties up too much of my money for way to long

There's 2 types of ppl who prefer credit:

A. Those who like the convenience of not having to deposit & settle up easily

B. Those who don't have the funds to post up and need the credit
