I am not a big player by any means. I currently use an offshore book that doesn't charge a dime to deposit or collect any amount of money. I have had no problems with them at all, pay on time, good customer service, etc. However, I would like to join a few more books so I can shop the lines. People have recommended Olympic, Pinnacle, which I am sure are great books, but it just doesn't make sense for me to pay to get a relatively small amount of money. Any suggestions of good books that don't charge to collect or deposit?

Well I want to do direct bank transfer, give them my savings acct. number, not really my "real" savings, theres basically nothing in there, so I don't care about giving it out. This what I do at my current book and I've never been charged a dime. I don't see why no other books offer this???

Canbet doesn't charge for debit cards, but that is only available for UK residents, no help for me there. Credit cards has no charge either, as long as you keep the funds in there for 7 months, also no help for me. Gameday I wrote an email regardging this quesion and they didn't even understand the email because and didn't answer my question what so ever, it was a very basic email with one question. So I appreciate the advice, but I am not leaving my cash there for seven months and Gameday couldn't even grasp a very basic question. Any other suggestions?

Gameday has always had great customer service with me as well.

CRIS will allow you to deposit directly form your checking account. They offer a 15% free play bonus with deposits made via this method. The only drawback is that you have to pay $40 to make a withdrawl via check. Maybe the free play would make up for that amount?

Sportsinteraction, Wagerstreet and Bodog are all books that do ACH transfers to and from your bank accounts. SIA has a bad reputation among some posters but I have never had a problem there. Wagerstreet has a very good reputation from what I have read. As far as Bodog goes, I remember Jack posting that they stiffed him on some advertising. Since I read that I have not played there, though I must say that they have always paid me without a problem.

TMS DONT LISTEN TO THESE PAID SCHILLS.DO NOT GO TO CRIS OR WWTS BELIEVE ME KID.THEY CHARGE LIKE 40 DOLLARS TO GET A CHECK FED EX.IF YOU ARE A MICKEY MOUSE PLAYER LIKE YOURSELF GO TO ANY SPORTSBOOK WHO GIVES YOU ONE FREE PAYOUT PER MONTH NOBODY WANTS TO PAY TO HAVE YOUR WINNINGS SENT TO YOU.WWTS CHARGES THE MOST IN THE BUSINESS I BELIEVE 45 DOLLARS AND NO FREEBIES.HERE ARE A COUPLE OF BOOKS I WOULD LOOK INTO FOR A SMALL TIME PLAYER LIKE YOURSELF.

HOLLYWOOD SPORTSBOOK (ONE FREE PAYOUT PER MONTH)

GIBRALTAR ? THEY USED TO BE GOOD BUT CHANGED MANAGEMNET

BET AUSTRALIA (THEY HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE FREE)

THAT ONE FREE PAYOUT IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I HATE HAVING A CHARGE TO TAKE OUT MY WINNINGS.KID ALWAYS GO WITH 10 CENT SPORTSBOOKS AND REMEMBER ASK THEM IF THEY GIVE AT LEAST ONE FREE PAYOUT PER MONTH THIS IS THE LEAST THEY CAN DO FOR YOU

Couldn't agree with you more on SIA Nick. Love the book because of their uniquie lines and offers but try to not keep over $500 there because of the rumors---and an added note on rumors that might be of interest to you,I read from source I would give a reliabilty rating of an 8 (from 1-10 scale) that recently VIP was looking into aquiring SIA but SIA not interested. Must have had good foots season :)

DTB,

I read the rumor about VIP being interested in SIA but didn't know that SIA turned them down. In my opinion that is good because I doubt SIA could keep their soft lines under the VIP umbrella. I agree with keeping the SIA balance low. Usually I look at $1,000 as the number I try to stay under. Of course the great part about SIA is that the withdrawls are free when you go directly to and from your checking account. The only drawback is you have to wait 14 days after a deposit to make a withdrawl if you use that method.

Beantown, thanks for your advice! I totally agree with what you were saying, but was having problems finding those kind of books. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. One question for you though, what do you mean by always go to ten cent books? Thanks again!

TMS THE 2 BOOKS NICK DOUGLAS RECOMENDED CRIS AND OLYMPIC DEAL A 20 CENT LINE THE BOOKS I MENTIONED DEAL A 10 CENT LINE THIS IS HOW IT WORKS PAY ATTENTION KID AND LEARN SOMETHING

OLYMPIC AND CRIS (RED SOX -155 TAKE BACK +135) YOU SEE THAT 20 CENT LINE I WAS TALKING ABOUT NOW LOOK AT THE SAME GAME AT A 10 CENT SHOP

HOLLYWOOD RED SOX -155 TAKE BACK +145) YOU SEE THE 10 CENT DIFFERECE IN THE LINES WHEN YOU BET AT A 10 CENT SPORTSBOOK.VERY IMPORTANT STUFF BECAUSE 20 CENT SHOPS ALWAYS GOUGE YOU AND RAISE THERE PRICE ON A FAVORITE BECAUSE THEY KNOW IF THE UNDERDOG WINS THEY ARE PAYING OUT THE SAME AS EVERYBODY ELSE.HOWEVER IF THE FAVORITE LOSES THEY GET THE OVERLAY THEY CHARGED YOU BY RAISING THERE PRICE ON THE GAME.

TMS JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR TRY HOLLYWOOD OR BET AUSTRALIA -107 IN BASKETBALL AND 10 CENT BASEBALL THIS IS ALL YOU WANT TRY ANS SAVE EVERY PENNY YOU CAN OFFSHORE.BOTH OF THESE BOOKS ALSO DO -107 IN ALL FOOTBALL GAMES AND TOTALS.

DONT EVER SEND MONEY TO A 20 CENT BASEBALL SHOP THEY WILL GOUGE THE SH-T OUT OF YOU IF YOU PLAY A FAVORITE.

But Jimmy, do those places charge for a withdrawl? That was the initial reason for this thread. I haven't used them so I don't know.

Both Gameday and Canbet need you to fax a DL for proof of ID before you make a first withdrawl, but after that, they are free and credited to your account in a short period of time.

I'm with the other guys in the thread on Gameday's customer service. I've always found it top-of-the-line, so I'm surprised they wouldn't answer any question you had for them. Their software leaves much to be desired, but the dimelines and free payouts more than compensate IMO.

HOLLYWOOD GIVES YOU ONE FREE PAYOUT PER MONTH PLUS I THINK THEY PAY LIKE 70% IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR MONEY REALLY FAST WESTERN UNION YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL AND FIND OUT.

BET AUSTRALIA MAKES DIRECT DEPOSIT INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT THE MONEY IS THERE IN 2 DAYS I LOVE THIS CONCEPT THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING IS I HAVE TO BEAT MY WIFE TO THE BANK AND GET MY WINNINGS OUT IF SHE SEES IT SHE WILL WASTE THE DOUGH ON SOMETHING LIKE CURTAINS:shrug:

I AM A BIG FAN OF HOLLYWOOD SPORTSBOOK BUT I LOVE BETAUSTRALIA.COM BECAUSE I KNOW 100% I WONT GET RIPPED OFF PLUS I LOVE TALKING TO THE WOMEN WHO AMSWER THE PHONES THERE SHANNON IS SO NICE I OFTEN THINK ABOUT ASKING HER FOR PHONE SEX.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE GREAT CASCADE ROBBERY OF 2003 THE DAY LENNY AND CASCADE SPORTSBOOK STOLE 660 DOLLARS FROM ME (THANK GOD THESE CROOKS ARE OUT OF BUSINESS AND CANT STEAL FROM ANYBODY ELSE):nono: STAY AWAY FROM CASCADE SPORTSBOOK BOYS BELIEVE ME THEY ARE NO GOOD THIEVES:thefinger

Sirbet is a very good book, and it deals low juice lines. I highly recommend them. Free Instacash transactions as well, all the time
