My reviews of our sponsor books so far.

1.WWTS
Ok lines,Easy to bet teasers ect,I tried to transfer money to poker and I had to call them twice to get it done.Withdraws are like pulling teeth.They are very slow.Still waiting for an email or something from them to even confirm the request.
2.Wager St
Lines are a little off.Teasers ect a little bit of a hastle but not bad.Fast 2nd half lines.Quickest withdraw ever.I ask for it and less than 24 hours it was in my bank account
3.BJam
Ok lines.Office squares and contest are the best.Very good book.I have not tried a withdraw yet but the way they run things I don't see any problems.
4.SI
I just don't care for the site personally.So it is hard for me to review.I don't use it at all anymore.
5.Cris
I just opened one there so it's new to me.It seems to be pretty good.I don't care for the continue set up but it isn't to complicated.We will see on the withdraws.

best book I have ever used and I have used 10+. Their customer service talks to you like you are a long lost cousin. I actually had to talk to the manager once because i had a special kind of question. The guy was probably the nicest man i have ever talked to lol. I call in a lot of my bets now and I usually talk to them for hours because i dont have many friends

SI sucks...knew that for several years.
Bad Lines biggest problem...way off. Pay-out no problem though.

LOL, it's only a bad line if you want the other side. SIA is a great resource for dog bettors but their customer service needs work. I will probably be withdrawing some of my winnings from this book next week so I'll report back as to how that goes.

I would rate our sponsors:

1. pinny
t1. bet jm
3. betcris
4. the greek(i know this is a stupid reason, but I hate the black background of their webpage)
5. Wagerstreet(i haven't used them in several years, but even before Spiros acquired them, customer service was top knotch and payouts were fast)
6. wwts( i have used them and payout is quick, but nothing special or better than other books, just a solid book)
7. SIA (one of the early onlines I used, and I look for dogs, so I have used them quite a bit, but......customer service sucks and a couple of years ago I waited 3 weeks for a measley $1800 payout.

I have no personal experience with the others and fully realize that I am a true degenerate to have experience with so many of the others.....just my two cents worth, fwiw.

yes they are a good book....im new ive used 3 books in like a month but BetJ is the best ive delt with...the lines mabey not the best but there service is the best really quick withdraw within 10 hrs .....im using SIA and WWTS right now i tried to withdraw from SIA and it took pretty long lik 10 days and i kept asking when i was going to get my money and they said the next morning for 4 days so im probably not going to deposit no more into there...WWTS is ok im only using it for football picks for the contest but BetJ is the best....there menu and that is the best and it is so easy to bet.

only downfall to BetJ right now is that they dont have poker ATM but they will soon which will make it 2 times better if there poker is "good" unlike other sportsbooks ones that i think are pretty easy to catch real good hands n get beat by it somehow

I have not made a WWTS withdrawal as of yet.... Most at the bar/restaurant where our now dearly-departed local bookie took our action use CRIS.

I only know of one who uses WWTS...he has been with them for almost 18 months and has no complaints.... I negelected to ask what funding source he uses(Maybe WU... maybe Neteller).

It should not matter what funding method one uses...and indeed it is the book's responsibility to pay out as fast as possible...

...but if the player uses Neteller...it at least appears to me that most probelems("perceived" or "real") evaporate.

CRIS, among others, has solid management and a commitment to Customer Service(which costs big $$$$)...others may be attempting to handle things "on the cheap"

Pinny offered reduced juice lines...but their CS was not very well thought of....solid book;bad CS

It is more of a management issue than anything else("solvency"..."stiff",etc) that slows payouts
