Is there anything worse than missing one game on a 7-team parlay with $100 riding on it at about 92 to 1 odds? As a matter of fact there is. Nothing could be worse than being one field goal, one free throw, or one goal from over $9000! Well imagine this… let’s imagine that because you were sipping your favorite cocktail at the time, you put down $200 instead of the intended $100. Nervously you finish-off several other cocktails after you realize that you just put a serious dent in your bankroll. You curse yourself until you realize that the first 6 contests have covered and low and behold the 7th comes through on the last play of the game! Are you kidding me? 18 GRAND! You log on to your book to ensure you’re not dreaming. After hitting the refresh button repeatedly you see the words, “BALANCE: $18,827”. You can’t believe it! Your very next thought is, “GIVE ME THAT….NOW!” You call up your book and...
Do you know how to get paid by your book? Do you trust your book to pay you if you do indeed, “Break their backs” one Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Which books have a bad reputation when it comes to pay out and is your book one of them? Can you withdraw your entire balance at once? How long will it take to receive my loot after requested? What do independent sources say about the books that I do business with? These are all questions that any “dime-getter” should be able to answer without equivocation.
SBRForum.com, we find, is a great resource to inspect the literally HUNDREDS of sportsbooks out there vying for your business. They have a Sportsbook Review section that is unrivaled. Most so-called reviewers of sportsbooks, are very cursory in their critiques. SBR's reviews are complete with results of physical site visits including pictures of actual office spaces. They even provide a BLACK LIST of sportsbooks that you should absolutely stay away from. In addition, members of the forum provide continuous feedback on their experiences with their books. The result is a comprehensive volume of information to help you choose the right book(s) for you. To make it even easier, they provide a Sportsbook Selector which suggests the books you may be interested in based on your answer to some basic questions about what type of player of you are. Finally, opening a free account with SBR allows you to customize your very own “ODDS BOARD.” This is helpful for you professionals who have multiple books (like you all should). For example, let's assume that you have accounts with Legendz, Sportsbook.com, and Intertops. You can select these 3 books and view up-to-date live odds of all three side-by-side. What a tool! The information that SBR provides is priceless. Go check them out.
Once again, don’t let it happen to you. I’ve heard at least 5 stories in the last month of guys not being able to retrieve their winnings when it was time. Have more than one book and know all of their deposit/withdrawl rules. If you do not have more than one book, make it a goal to have at least two, preferably 3 or more by the New Year. Why? When you have 3 or more books you get better value in the marketplace. In addition, you can take advantage of arbitrages as it pertains to the Sports Market. What arbitrages? Stay Tuned...
