wow

Is there an explanation for these upgrades?

 

[venditto]

Mybookie has had a lot of stiff complaints so why would they go up? Nice little payment to BMR?

Players are always free to fill out and submit the BMR Complaint form for any Sportsbook issues.

Listen, I'm not trying to bad mouth BMR and I'm not trying to start an argument, but how can the ratings here be trusted when you are upgrading Mybookie and have everygame listed as an A?

It is explained in the review 'our verdict' section. https://www.bookmakersreview.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/

"MyBookie has also had some complaints about their treatment of sophisticated or “sharp” bettors, which is why their rating was previously at C+. However, MyBookie seems to have cleaned up its act as of late and there have been no new major complaints of note"

WOW!!!

Bet Us A

That’s laughable

 

[FrankDexter]

They moved the ratings the wrong way on both.

There may not be a single person on this forum that agrees with these changes.

Maybe BMR can claim bad line when people get screwed over by these garbage books.

 

[ks1986]

From my personal experience I actually agree with both.

No comment on MyBookie but I like BetUS being promoted for once. Probably not A, but I wouldn't bat an eye at a 50k balance there. Fantastic bonuses and numbers. They just need to stop their bet delay bullshit.

Is there an offshore operation Frank Dexter doesn't put down. He is either working for a US based forum or is a cheat. Anyone that puts down betonline can't be trusted with an opinion. Roland and ks1986 have opened my eyes to a few of these lower ranked books

Thanks for your feedback. There is indeed a big difference between B and A, but we welcome all opinions. Both shops are extremely well funded. We expect professionals to be treated fairly. Ratings are fluid and could change.

You are right, there aren't many I like.

You are wrong, I am an honorable gambler and in no way a cheat.

You are wrong, I don't work for any forum or anyone else but myself.

You are wrong, I love BetOnline.

Both of these books stiffed me in the past and both are well documented.

I have been betting my whole life, and offshore since the 90's over the phone before any books were online or these forums existed.

I just give my personal experiences as everyone should do.

Good luck to you pal.

Their bet delay spooling is very shady. Only mickey mouse shops do this. Any professional gambler knows the implications of this and how bad it is.
They also have been known to limit players while there is an RO remaining. That's a big no no. It happened recently to someone in my gambler circle of friends. She got put on $100 limits with 19k RO left. Not ok.
For these reasons Betus cannot be an A rated book. B or B+ is an appropriate rating.
On the bright side, they have great bonuses and pay 5k a day like clock work. They also don't over KYC like many smaller books do.

 

[rolandcorts]

Yeah but the problem is the A books aren’t pristine anymore either. Bookmaker steals 5 figures from me per year with their bet slip. Pinnacle screws you on payouts and lies about it. Both are very direct theft. Obviously I don’t like the BetUS delay tactics and I agree that huge cuts to limits with pending roll is theft or pseudo theft too, but to me they’re all pretty close. I guess the main difference is id feel totally fine with 200k at Pinn/BM but nervous at BetUS. (Although pinnacle will steal 2-4k of that when you withdraw.)

 

[Ace7550]

Bookmaker is a significant level above betus though. 25k a day payouts and you get it within an hour. And much higher limits on just about everything.
I agree the bet slip thing should be fixed by Bookmaker. But it's also easy enough to just click the "don't accept any changes" box.
Betus isn't a terrible book. I use them every day. They just aren't quite on the same level as shops like BOL and BM.
I just don't think you can make a book A rated when they slash limits in the middle of big RO's.

 

[rolandcorts]

You can request multiple payouts per day at BetUS. Since they usually pay in 4-5 hours, you could get 15k per day. I've done it before.

Limits are lower but lines are softer. High limits, high funds security, but bet slip theft vs. lower limits, good fund security, and soft lines. Apples and oranges.

I wouldn't be complaining if clicking the 'dont accept line changes' box worked. It doesn't always work. It just happened to me a second ago even (but I saw the change before hitting confirm). Same goes for all their skins.

BOL is A+, BM/Pinn A, BetUS A-.

 

[BigJay]

Go ahead and keep trusting MyBookie. It’s not if, but when they’ll stiff you. If they don’t, consider yourself lucky. Not only a history of stiffing but also very abusive customer service agents and managers.

In my opinion, what I’ve experienced and what I’ve read others have experienced, MyBookie is definitely not a B-rated book. Very poor rating by BMR here

 

[Ace7550]

BOL is A+, BM/Pinn A, BetUS A-.

Those ratings are very reasonable. I would put betus at B+. But like you said, Apples and Oranges.
