the betting thread

Yeah it's tough

Bovada (the former Bodog) is where a lot of people go. If you're a dog bettor they're good because their lines skew towards the faves. But win too much and they'll limit you.

I've used 5 Dimes for years and they're ok. Depositing is an issue because if you use a credit card then when you cash out you have to send them a photocopy of it along with ID and proof of residence. I've also had my card number stolen. But they use third party processors so some Chinese company appears on your statement. I reported the unauthorized usage and they were helpful as shtein like that is bad for their business. They stopped using whichever processor that was responsible for it.

You can deposit via moneygram and western union too. They give you some dudes name in Nicaragua or another Latin American country and you send them the cash and within a half hour it's posted to your account.

Cashing out is a bitch. The bitcoin process was good but that's getting limited now too.

Bottom line too much of a hassle. I'll run my balance up and if I hit $1000+ I'll withdrawal and be done with them. Some people keep big balances and that's playing with fire. Most I had in there was a shade under $5k and I cashed all of it out except $500. That was the max I ever deposited. Either run it up or bust out. If anything ever happened I wasn't out much.

I have a friend from DC who books. He uses an online service to take the bets but pays out like a normal bookie. He offered to take me on and I may do it.

Most of the people here who I've gotten leads on are too shady for my liking.

you should def do it....its so much easier...especially if its online...i still call into my local guy from back in philly and its great but ive always wished he would go online even of it was a cheesy website...but he wants none of it

my first bets since cfb

i love both dogs tomorrow because of superior coaching...dana altman over bill self is a joke and while i dont think mark few is a bad coach chris mack will work him....not saying either of these teams will win outright cause theres an obvious talent gap here but coaching means everything in cbb soo ill take the better coaches and a good amount of pts

oregon +7 kansas
X +8 gonzaga

on a side note i called these in a few minutes ago and my bookie actually had a guy still answering his phones...awesome

one good one horrible

oregon +7 kansas - WIN
X +8 gonzaga - LOSS
