Why do ppl sign up for crap books?

I just dont get ppl who put money into crap books like betonsports , sportingbet , if you are serious you research your info first. I really have no sympathy for ppl who lost money, look up SBR book review and u will see their ratings, serve ppl right who can't research anything, ppl are just lazy these days. Its widely known pinnacle, betjamica, VIP , anything with a A + rating is reliable.

The ratings, you speak of, are one man's opinion, Bill Dozier. And for the most part I agree with him. However, he rates sportsbook as a d+, and many of us here, myself included have had incredibly good service with them on payouts and customer service. Also he rates, cris and bet 365 as a+ while both offer 20 cent lines on baseball. In my opinion a sportsbook that lags so far behind the competion in one of the 3 major sports would not be rated an A+. Also he doesn't rate sia very well. To really do research you check more than one site, and when you check all the rating sites, you find that about 50 different books get really good ratings. And while risk is obviously involved,all 50 or so are probably a pretty good bet.....

robert - I agree. It's still about opinions. While I think people should look their way at times - the bottom line is they are not perfect. As far as SIA, I think they rate them a C+ (because of cust service)
