I have $900 in my Greek Account. WTF. No advance warning?
What do you know about Heritage?
Heritage is a mid level book that has gone under a marketing policy of "invitation only" for a long time (whatever that means).
The only other thing I know about them is that 3 years ago they would have been 50th+ on a list of best sportsbooks for Americans, and now they might be in the top 3.
I said it above and I will say it again - keeping a balance at a US facing sportsbook is now riskier than investing in junk bonds. If you have that risk tolerance, or just want to wager - have at it. But I cant spell it out for you any differently - if you have money at a US facing book you have better be willing to lose that money at any time.

Vanzack correct me if i am wrong but you mentioned that you use European books. Is that correct? Can you take us thru the process how to go about getting one? DO you need an address in Europe? Bank account? Your info would help
In order to get a European book acct, a pinnacle acct, a MB account, or a Neteller acct, you need the following:
1. An address outside of the USA, and a utility bill in your name at the same address, and preferably a drivers license with the same address.
2. An IP address of that same country.
3. A bank account in that same country.
Once you have those three things, the sports gambling world is your oyster.

So what are the drawbacks to a site like Sports Interaction? Are their prices bad? New to online books.....
1. Risk. There is a chance they will follow these other books and cave. And some (like betus) did not pay out.
2. Prices. They have large house holds.
3. Limits. Very low limits
4. Deposit and withdrawal limitations.
But if you are a rec gambler, who wants to bet 20 bucks a game and doesnt mind the risk - it is fine for you. Im not saying that in any condecending way at all - just being matter of fact about it.
It is really sad that we are even mentioning SIA as a viable book, but when you only have a handful left, the sportsbooks.coms of the world enter your thinking when they never would have before.

But just like Marijuana, the only thing that keeps the price where it is for a weed is that it is illegal and scarce.
The balance of power between book and player has sharply turned to books in the last year, and the player has no power whatsoever. Want to bet online? You have no power - NOTHING - you have to accept anything they throw at you - and you have to accept all of the risk - and all of the cost.
So while there will always be somewhere to bet (I agree with you), "bettting" is not the only goal. There will be no competition on lines, prices, risk - basically you have to accept far worse conditions for every wager you make.
that's why i was most upset at the end of matchbook. that was a 10 on the disappointment scale while the greek, pinnacle and 5dimes is more like a 5. when matchbook went down, that's when i realized i wouldn't be able to try to make any real ground anymore. the end of pinnacle, the greek, 5dimes, etc just means i probably won't be able to bet recreationally any more.
