 So, as far as the payouts. Bovada has been great, and I also love the one free payout per month. Only thing that has me contemplating staying. I just have their system down, and figuring out how to work bookmaker or 5Dimes payouts most efficiently just sounds unappealing.

 But… I'm probably going to give one a shot.

Thanks for the quick response, appreciate it.

One last one. Did you have problems with the check ?

I couldn't deposit mine through the ATM so had to go in the bank, manager took it. But had to go to a few places to cash this thing and no one wanted. It wasn't for that much $700.

Had this same conversation w/ a family member this morning.

Bovada didn't have 1h lines or totals for ncaa nor did they have the early game today. 

So I re- deposited with top bet. 5dimes is good but their payout system is nowhere as good as bovada. 

I'm done with the late lines, the inflated lines, and the limitations with the bets bovada offers. Cashing out on Sunday! (yeah do love that free check once a month...oh well)

One question though. If you use a credit card for your deposits, what payout options are available to you ?

as stated above..all options available. best is to get it 'rebated' back onto credit card as this took 3 days and can do 2500 a whack.

Thanks

3.  The do pay, I use Money Gram however it takes sometimes 72 hours to have it processed, the want you to lose it in the process is my hunch. 

Other than that, nice people but your limited on things to bet on. 

hey capt..I agree..they don't have all lines that's for sure....a few years ago they had no totals at all or lines on smaller games...so they have came up a bit..but yes limited for some lines still...and I agree the not grading plays can be a girl. I rip them a new a hole when that happens and they just give an im sorry but I usually can do an if play off of it if it is a winner and not graded yet.  I know the reps personally and they take care of me...

 Luckily, before I started playing at Bovada I had a buddy who told me never to deposit via an ATM. I always deposited them without any fuss, but this last time I got my first question about the checks. Since it was the same teller three times in a row, and I had a Canadian check. I could see where that's fishy…

 It also usually clears immediately, but this time it took until the following morning. However, that could also be due to how fast it arrived. Very possible the funds just hadn't arrived to my bank yet. 

 But you shouldn't be getting that much fuss over a 700 dollar check like that. That's about what I usually cash out for. I have Chase though… perhaps they have more leniency with Canadian checks than your bank. All I can think.

I have a total of four online accounts.
Bovada & SportsBetting
I live in Nevada so I also have
William Hill and Stations.

The only thing I can suggest is spread your money around. I wouldn't want to have all my money in anyone place. Remember BeTed

Thanks man, I really appreciate your info.

Yeah, I got a bit of a hassle with the teller, wanted to send it through foreign accounts, etc.etc. then I went to the bank I normally go to and the manager there took it.

Just wanted your experience with bovada's checks. Thanks again for the input.

BOL.man !!!

5Dimes.  Use Bovada when football season rolls around since they have the best lines for dogs.

Waiting on lines, and having nothing but a full game spread to play with. Just is not what I want in my sports book.

I think I'm going to try Bookmaker. I wish I did already, so I'd have my roll in there for the super bowl. I hope there as good with payouts as Bovada is. That, I must say, they are SUPER reliable and pretty quick with.

Bookmaker is legit. The lines are up right away! I was on bovada before and switched over to bookmaker and dont regret it one bit. They also have a rewards program that you can get a free withdrawal from. Its 10,000 Betpoints which isnt alot if you bet 100 or more a game

Bovada is about as far from a big book as it gets. Despite the high visibility, they're strictly square and they throw out anyone who beats them regularly. Small potatoes.

Duke 2nd half line is +4

They just tried to counter offer me Duke +2 (would make it Duke +1 game), when the Live ML is +130


how is this book still open?
