And this " sucks " because.......?

It's an illegal bookmaking site. Nothing you bet there gets returned to racing whatsoever. People use these sites for different reasons, in general selfish, which is fine, but not knowing the deal you have made doesn't mean you got screwed.

I'm not making a judgement. Everyone is free to make whatever deal works for them. But I don't understand how you got screwed.

I never said I got screwed. I should have read the "fine print". I understand that. I used the site because I could play some poker, bet some football games and play the horses, all on one site.

It sucks when the wager you placed pays $1400 and you only get $300.

Anyway, i've closed my account and need some advice on which site you think would be best.

Thanks

You honestly have a lot of easy options. I'll let other people recommend sites.

This is part of the problem that has
brought racing down. It is in essence parasitic.
The track puts on the show, they should get
a piece of the pie. I guess the fed. gov. played a role
in pushing the money out to these spots.

This situation has been replayed so many times...
drugs, etc... I never took economics but I think
I have some concept of markets. People like to bet.
Dont drive it away. We cannot save people from
themselves.

i would recommend you go to legit sites, who work as partners with the tracks. that way you get the right payouts, and the tracks who put on the show get their rightful cut.

I did the same with Bodog...hit a tri and super on same race! Paid 2500, and I got 600 into my acct! What a freakin letdown...but I learned the lesson!

If you want a solid offshore site, it's hard to beat Bookmaker.com. They do not cap the odds on any bet, but they do cap the amount you can win from a single race. The amount depends on whether it's a major or minor track. For Gulfstream, the max profit is $30,000/race.

Bookmaker also gives an 8% rebate on exotics and 3% on WPS bets. 5Dimes is another good choice, but read its rules carefully for cap info.

Before sending money to ANY offshore site, you should check out the site's rating at SportsbookReview.com. fyi, Sportsbook.com currently has a D- rating. Here is the most recent entry regarding Sportsbook.com:

"1/11/2008 08:39 PM

Sportsbook.com Group steals $5,677 from player
The player held accounts at Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-), Sportsbooks.com (SBR rating D-), Sportfanatik (SBR rating D-), and PlayersOnly (SBR rating D-). He was debited for the amounts won over the life of the account totaling $5,677. Sportsbook.com cites "bonus abuse" as the reason for stealing these funds. The Sportsbook.com operation often labels players who have won money and utilized promotions in more than one of the many sister sportsbooks as bonus abusers. Sportsbook.com and sister Jazette books do not have rules against using multiple brands and using their promotions. It is often encouraged through cross marketing and the sales departments which market each website as an independent sportsbook.


Player: I did everything above board and was having a good season of NFL picks and now they've stolen from me. I guess I should have known better since you had it listed as D- but they'd fixed their payout issues over the last few months and I had never had other problems with them over 5+ years of active use. However, I have no email to send you since they didn't even bother to email me."
