Tinco is correct about Wagerstreet. Yes they do pay but they HATE winners and will cut you down to a $200 limit in no time if you win. If this is the kind of place you want to send your hard earned money to more power to you.

Darryl, as far as a profitable business model-they probably have it pegged. Keep the squares that post up & lose 2-300 at a time and toss anyone with a clue.

I'm not a online cards player, so I can't really comment on party poker, but they shouldn't have to bend the rules to win-I'd assume they get their little slice of everything.

wanderer,

I know. I got cut to $200, then $100 myself before I threw in the towel with them. I don't like it either but at least they don't lie, cheat and steal like some other books. I also noticed they had a rep come on here to give his side of the story in a player dispute situation. That's a classy thing that a lot of books don't do. And it even turned out Wagerstreet was right, so more kudos to them.

TT seems to have lost his cool (a bit) over something that does not merit losing one's cool over (imo). I was looking for an explanation to that.

"I got cut to $200, then $100 myself before I threw in the towel with them."

My point exactly...if you are a SMALL player, they may work out for you. If you have a clue, who bother playing there knowing that the boot is right around the corner.

In the end, it's a JOKE that ANYone would claim that they are a top 5 book. NONE of the top 5 books would do that to ANYone.

TT,

OK I think I see where you're coming from. You see lowering limits as bending rules, am I right? How about barring people? Isn't that the same as lowering their limits to zero? Are you saying it's OK to lower the limits to zero, but not OK to lower it to some other amount, or is barring also bending the rules?

You and your "family" using the same computer don't count. Where is UK2000 to back your story? You're a busted bonus scam.

And BTW I agree that calling any book "top 5" that can't handle dime action is ridiculous

Darryl, I call it the "soft boot". The players will get the hint.

Not that it's bad, but it shows that someone is by no means a "top 5" book.

A top 5 book absorbs the action & adjusts accordingly.

OK you are right, I guess the "top 5" claim must have triggered the reaction, which is understandable.
 
"the major Curacao books have formed CIGA, with does a hell of a lot more to guarantee your funds"

Tell me specifically what ciga does to guarantee player funds.

You are talking the talk now lets see if you can walk it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still waiting.


And I don't see anyone in this thread calling ws a top 5 book, 'cept you.

but lets not get off the above question. You are all over the place in this thread spouting 3rd hand info, so lets deal with one thing at a time.

Explain the ciga quote.

Megladon, let me know when you get stiffed by a CIGA member, and I'll get you paid.

BTW...the link at the top of this thread claimed that Wagerjoke was a top 5 book.
 
You should contact all those bettors stiffed by Aces Gold and a bookie joint and get them paid.

As I knew, you have no facts about ciga to back you up, just the propaganda.

There is no difference now with ciga than there was before it. You have been challenged to post some facts and instead are blowing your chest up how you'll get me paid. So prove the ciga claims or shut up about it.

Walk it, instead of talking it with thousands of misinformed posts all over the net.

Regarding wagerstreet, for those who actually want to play there:

Ws offers an opinion, they can not do this to steam chasing scalping movers.

Like most other shops who offer an opinion, they cut limits. This is much the same as bet365, or bowmans moving players to the sharp line.

For all the players who "claim" to have been given the soft boot from Ws, there are none who wouldn't go back there in a second given the chance, and many still play there, accepting the opportunity to play the value on a limited basis.

There is however, a small internet crowd acting like big bettors who run around claiming they are a bad shop because of limiting some players.

These fellows do not understand the value of such a shop, and its doubtful they even have played there.

Anyone else find this stuff ironic?

Remember that they "fully endorse" VIP, Gameday, Intertops, Wagerstreet, etc.

joewager.com says this about Bet365:
"A UK-based book offering action on virtually everything possible, including TV shows and political elections. Complaints about dual lines and limiting sharp action prevent our full recommendation."

joewager.com says this about Grande:
"High limit book with generally positive feedback. we have concerns, however, with regards to the location of this book. Where are we playing now? Costa Rica? Dominican Republic? They’re not telling us much on the website."

joewager says this about Las Vegas Offshore Sports Betting:
"A clone of several other identical sites all registered to the same guy in Vancouver. The game here looks to be: How many keyword-stuffed domain names can we register and spam the search engines with – all pointing to the exact same content?"

What is the point of all this back and forth. To me it is simple, any site that doesn't have Pinnacle in their top 5 is kidding us all. I don't know of one person, square or big bettor that doesn't give that place a lot of their action. Only people that complain about the place are the ones that want an 800 number to use to complain about something. Otherwise they pay as fast as anyone, offer better value than anyone, and handle just about anyone's action. What the hell more could a book need to offer to make any top 5 list???

Joeeeeeeeeeeeeeewager!!!!!!!1

I am still worried of my BetFair account. That one is loaded now and you do not recommend that book. And now I see that this football site has black-listed the biggest online book (Macauslot) in the world! I do not know what to tell Stanley next time. Is he really a criminal?

Not to mention the good ole' objective criterion of $$$ volume. If Pinnacle is not the #1 online book (for US sports) by that standard then I have no business doing anything requiring a brain.

Such a list is subjective; the posters here seem to feel the list should be about who is the biggest or takes on the wiseguys. If a gambling site is geared towards small players, it's list isn't going to be about volume and limits, it's going to be who is good for small players, and Pinnacle won't necessarily top that list.

Sky,

Good point. The little guy figures to do better at Wagerstreet than Pinnacle, but somewhere it should be mentioned that the list applies to small stakes players only, otherwise it's misleading imo.
