Tonight I had a problem with Carib that is not going to be resolved, so I am shopping for a book to transfer some funds from Carib. According to Carib, I can only transfer funds without cashing out to WSEX, Olympic and SOS (which I have never heard of) and as far as I know none of these books gives a bonus on deposits. The problem with Carib tonight is that after I played Louisville over, I decided to play al $10 teaser which ended up losing, but when I went back and played the Nuggets I noticed that my account was light $125.00 so I contacted Carib and they told me that I had put $125 on the teaser. After going through about four folks whom barely spoke english we came to a agreement that this was not going to be resolved and I advised them I would be pulling funds out since I could no longer trust them. In the past hour I have received numerous emails from them stating that they will review this tomorrow but I have made my mind up already to move on, so does anyone have a recommendation for any of the Madjack sponsers that pay bonuses?

Thanks guys, I am looking into those books and will more than likely choose one of them, I would warn anyone of dealing with Carib in the future.

I never had an account in 2 of the 3 sportsbooks you mentioned but I do have money in Olympic. I can vouge for them. You also will get a 10% CASH sign up bonus and only a 3 time roll over.

I also was allowed to withdraw my winnings as long as I kept my original balance + bonus. Although I think they may have changed that rule. Check on that. Free neteller withdraws and I received the $$$ same day.

On Jan. 31st I placed my future wagers for NCAA hoops and they had max. $500 limit. I called and asked if I can place more and they gave me special # to call and I was able to wager $1500+ on 2 different future wagers. So that was really good because that was the exact amount I wanted to risk and they allowed it.

NEVER had problem calling in and placing bets. Great customer service. They also are fast in getting there lines out.

Olympic is top notch but I would have my $$$ in multiple books to get best lines. Especially since you wager everyday and it might add more units (profit) to your already impressive record! :)

I have some $$$ in carib. I don't like the book as much as others but never had problem with them. I hate that they don't offer 2h lines on all games.

Pinnacle #1
Olympic #2
Betwwts #3

I use betgameday. they have a 20% bonus with 3x rollover and if you like parlays they have a close call promotion that pays 4-1 if you hit 7-8, 3-1 for 6-7, 2-1 for 5-6, and 1-1 for 4-5. This is a small consolation but better than nothing when you get screwed by 1 game in a parlay. Best of luck.

what i like about bet jamaica is that you make deposits & accept withdrawals via your own checking account.....imo, this makes it very easy to move your money.

i wish more books would use this method.

Master,

Two words for you... BET JAMAICA, the best sportsbook I have ever used...Their manager Scotty is as top notch as they come, and they have very generous bonus's and all members are given spots in tournament pools and other cool things all the time for free...I reccomend...My neteller withdrawls are in my neteller account with 20 mins, great service as well

BetJamaica IS Olympic, just under another name.

Anyways, you can't go wrong with either Olympic or WSEX...both industry leaders. Never heard of the other guys.

And I'm kind of sour on Carib myself. They've changed in the past couple of years. At one time I ranked them in my top 3...but not anymore.

I think you might be making a mistake. BetJamaica is great sportsbook and I used to have an account with them. No complaints. Here is the deal.

In just college hoops, you lost 238 games. You wagered on a ton of games throughout the year.

I don't know your unit size, but lets say its $200 a unit. (could be more or less doesn't matter) This is just an example.

With a 10 cent vig, that is a total of $52,360 in losses for the NCAA hoops season. But 7 of those were 2 unit plays so then your total losses were $53,900.

If you opened an account at Pinnacle with 5 cent lines, your total losses would be $50,750.

That is a difference of $3,150!!!! Wouldn't you want to save $3,150?

Pinnacle is on par if not better than betjamaica. So you wouldn't be downgrading.

Why the hell would you play at a 10 cent book? You are an everyday player and cap many games throughout the season.

Now not all of Pinny lines are guaranteed to be
-105 but majority are. Most of my plays come from pinny for this reason but I have other sportsbooks too.

Now this was using one sport as an example. Imagine the savings if you factor in ALL the sports you handicap? $$$$$$ in your pocket.

Just something for you to think about.

Definitly agree with you at one time I was a firm believer in Carib and thought they were the best, but like you said things have sure changed around there.

Scott,

Your an absolute genius, but I thought they only issued -105 on baseball? Im going to definitly look into that site as I am looking to find a home for some funds from Bodog, as they piss me off because they will not have the tournament games up until two days before tip off. I appreciate the tip and I will definitly be depositing there come football season. I am going to take a much needed break after NCAA HOOPS ends and I really dont have the time to do baseball, as I play in a couple of ham and egger leagues in the summer.

i believe we should call this the 'pinnacle fallacy'. its really faulty logic.

YES, they deal reduced juice. but what about when they shade the shit out of their lines and make a team (-4.5) -126 and the other side (+4.5)+118. technically, thats reduced juice (or not a 20 cent line) but that sure as hell aint saving you any money if youre playing the favorite.

is pinnacle a good book? absolutely.

but way too many of their lines are -112/+103 or -114/+105 (or whatever). so there are plenty of times that youre paying more for a side at pinnacle than you would elsewhere. no doubt you can find some great value there (laying -101 on a team instead of -110). but theres far too many times when youll be forced to lay more than -110 if you really want a side.

That is why I posted this......

That is why I don't have Pinnacle as my only sportsbook. Thats why you should have at least 2-3 sportsbooks. I currently have 6 active sportsbooks. Always taking the best line and/or lowest vig possible. You can save ton of $$$$ as I demonstrated to Master Capper. Plus Pinny gets their lines out fast!

If Master Capper had used Pinny and BetJamaca this college hoops season, and wagering most of his plays with Pinny, I guarantee he would have saved at least $1,500 in vig and prob. win/push on quite a few more games that he lost by 1/2 pt or pushed. End result is MC would have 3-4k more in his pocket if he was a $200 unit bettor.

Makes sense to me. But you are right Pinny will juice up lines instead of moving them. Pinny will have -4.5 -120 vs -5 -110 at other sportsbooks. Thats why you should have other sportsbooks. I don't use Pinny much for 2h's because they juice up one side often but then if you like the other side you can get + vig. So works both ways.
