intertops.com???

Just wanted to pass this along to my fellow cappers. I received a letter today about a free bonus, and you know how we likes the sound of free bonus. Hs anyone heard of this book or played here before? I went to the site and its basically the same as the mailer I got.

The site has a B+ review from SBR, in order to get the $20 Bet token you must first deposit and wager $20 first. I did not check out the rollover for the $20 wager. I have never used the site so I have no clue how there software or support is. They seem to have many options for depo & payout. This book seems safe to use. I would like to hear from people that have used this book before I would sign up.

They were the FIRST, if not, then second, book to offer online wagers.

i've used them. Huscroft uses them and spoke highly of them so I gave them a try. They have ICC(intertops cash card)like betjm. Good book but extremely poor software, very confusing and hard to find a line if your up against the clock. two things going for them, easy deposits, and tons of variety. I don't think you can buy points, if you can I could never navigate the software to figure out how to. I think B+ is a fairly accurate rating. They don't telemarket like some annoying books do, which is a plus.

Seems like these guys are willing to cut their losses and let you go.

If you beat them, no big deal, they will look for someone else who can't beat them.

I just cant understand why some books turn down sharp play. If anything they should welcome it.

They don't want to keep paying out.
