RussMan Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Anyone have a online site they could suggest for betting on football games? One that is ezy to use... transferring funds in and out without a lot of fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz13 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I have been using Bodog for the last 5 years. They have a ton of betting options( good props for us fantasy players), an excellent reputation and no fees for payouts. I highly recommend them.

Goopster24 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I used Bodog for the longest time and switched over to a few others which I don't recommend. Bodog was solid. Recently I used matchbook.com for gambling but haven't placed a bet in a long time. I might get back into it during football season but I doubt it. Matchbook.com provides some interesting things though depending on how much you bet per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are fairly reliable, but not all that competitive with their lines. They are really stragglers with getting their lines out. They let everyone in Vegas and on the net get beat down before they release their numbers. If you are just a casual bettor you will probably find them ok, but if you are looking for the best lines and the best parlay options you might look elsewhere.

Steeltown Dre Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Here are some of the top ones: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/Reviews/default.aspx Spend some time reading both what SBR says about the outlet, and some of the player reviews.

Spartans91 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Interesting stuff. I too am looking for a place that won't kill ya on the way out. I just got mail from betonline.com that looked cool enough, but it is a min. of $50 fee to get a payout of any amount. Yeah, that is competitive.

Spartans91 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Oh, yeah...so I used BetUs.com last year and was generally pleased. But there payouts are a min. of $10 fee which is okay but still frustrating. Way back, I used sportsinteraction.com which is out of Canada. Nice site and features but was down far to often on MNF, Super Bowl, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) In the past I used sportsbetting.com and liked it but then they started charing $40 for payouts... It looks like Bodog gives you one a month for fee and subsequents payouts $20. So betus.com looks like the best deal... Ill check it out..

gowdemon Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 You guys need to be careful before you deposit this season. The offshore sportsbooks are vastly different this year than this year due to the Internet Gambling Act which goes into law this fall. Many books have withdrawn from the US Market. Neteller is gone. You no longer can do wire transfers to deposit or withdrawl. Books now are issuing payout via-check..and it can take upwards of a month (although I've heard bodog is pretty quick), BUT be warned that just getting your check doesnt guarantee your money.. since all the books are offshore, many banks are not cashing the checks! I'm not saying you won't get your money.. but no one really knows whats going to happen come november. My best advice is to not put money there that you cant afford to lose. I pulled all my money from offshore books when Pinnacle withdrew from the US Market. It is just far too uncertain. Best bet is to find a local guy to take your action.

bushwacked Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I didn't know it was that feasible to bet from the US anymore. My sportsbook last year stopped taking bets during the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpanda Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) There are plenty of places you can still bet offshore. Another great site for sportsbetting info: http://www.therx.com. They have a huge message board where you can find info on funding offshore in addition to betting tips.

gowdemon Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The issue isn't if you can bet NOW. The issue is if you can get your money come November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 This was a very helpful link thank you. http://www.sportsbookreview.com/Ratings+on....aspx?show=Name Most everyone is charging to get a payout now, and bank transfers are history, and the payouts take a lot longer to arrive.. you deposit with a credit card and payouts come by check mailed in 2-6 weeks. Looks like I am going with Bodog.... http://www.newbodog.com/ Good luck this season folks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
