What do you think of BAS?

[DontTailMe]

Thanks for letting me know!

I was down to near zero. And asked their CS, does it zero out that is what the CS told me it doesn’t

I am guessing their front CS just didn’t know.

Yeah, I didn't realize that information was based on a single offshore customer service rep interaction. Trusting them on anything like this is never wise.

 

[FrankDexter]

Maybe it has to be zero to reset the rollover.

Possibly they told you that because you were just low but not at zero

 

[Enikk]

Most place need to be under 1.00 and have no free plays available.

 

[Enikk]

They need to speed up their deposit times and offer more altcoins. BM almost instant. BOL not much longer than BM.

Reloaded for the 1st time in about 8 months. Impressions so far:
Pros:
1. Customer service has been great at answering questions and fairly quick.
2. Their 3rd party live wagering is offering same bets as before
3.Still have open Parlays up to 15
4. Bonus funds can be used on any kind of bet in main platform(except open parlay).

Cons:
1.Took forever to get bitcoin to account. I couldn't even send from one of the bigger platforms so had to transfer it back than send from there. Customer service said they are using a longer address than previously. So took many transfers/fees and about 3 hours to complete.
2. Have to go back into chat to get your bonus
3. Your rollover is not displayed anywhere on site. You have to go into chat and ask.
4. Only wagers on their main platform count towards rollover. You will sometime find better odds on their other platforms but isn't going to count. In other words it is going to be a pain in the ass to reach.
5. Original deposit amount and bonus need to stay in account 30 days even if rollover is met. Any winnings over deposit amount can be withdrawn after rollover.
6. They offer "in progress" lines on main platform but they can not be used in parlays.
7. 3rd party live lines have lower limits than they did before and seem to change more frequently so it is very hard to get a live parlay in or any play for that matter without needing to resubmit bet.
8. Missing so many lines. Other books have tons of tennis lines up and BAS only had a handful. Also the prop bets are gone from main platform(set betting, points, ect).

I haven't made a straight bet on main platform yet so I do not know if "rolling ifs" are back. Although I have a lot of cons, I believe it is a book everyone should have. Most bettors will never be affected by what I consider a con. I do not recommend taking a bonus though unless you are only depositing a small amount or are a long-term flat bet grinder.

What is the difference between main site? Not sure what you are referring to there. But thanks for the heads up!

If you click on "Live" at the top than it will give you the option to bet at 3 different 3rd party sites. I never use the middle one. The other 2 I used for years at 5Dimes. The top one gave you 4% cash back on all bets at 5Dimes to make up for some of the higher juice.

The top one I prefer BOL live lines. Think they are sourcing it the the same place, but the lines are better on BOL in all ways. Faster acceptance rate, higher limits, and rebets. BAS is kind of crazy to only limit $500 even on +1000 odds. So essentially you can only buy $50 to win 500 on those bets.

Only problem I have at BOL is everything is so hard to get to especially live and not having parlays on live bets. As far as odds, it is hard to beat their tennis or golf match-up odds. Top notch.

I honestly do not know how the hell I will roll over this last deposit. I rarely bet pre-game. I will have to grind a big figure doing my normal odds and ends bets than lay big straight bets on tennis dogs/ncaa hoops 1st halves/Nba halves and quarters. I easily roll over 12k in a few days at BM where EVERYTHING counts toward rollover. I will never take a bonus at BAS or BOL again unless I am making a very small deposit. Just not worth it.

I usually grind out parlays without doing same leg parlay. Say you want to do a $10 5 leg parlay, I do 5 bets $10, if win $20, $40, $80, $160. This way my $10 if wins, end up with $330 or so rollover. Downside is you lose same game correlation value, but books normally don’t let you get to much value out of those anyways.

 

[sportsbettor5]

They let you rebet until recently.

I would guess up until about a month ago, or so.

No longer allowing rebets after max bet makes them a little less appealing than they were just a short time ago.

Wow, I was expecting they would just like 5D in this regard. To be fair, 5D would often book my bet and then I would have to wait a very long time (sometimes 30 minutes!) to rebet. I wonder if BAS will ever revert to that style, hope so.

Yep.

As soon as you take a withdrawal, you get slashed.

Seriously? Did this happen to you?

I haven't signed up yet and this might dissuade me.

Yep.

Take a withdrawal and next day my limits down to 100 bucks.

Which sport or what were the limtis before the withdrawal?

 

[DontTailMe]

Were you limited at 5Dimes before? In my experience, this limiting upon first withdrawal was mostly done for 5Dimes players who were previously limited. It's like they had to take on so many new customers so quickly when 5Dimes folded, that they didn't have a chance to apply the same risk management decisions, so they did so upon withdrawal.

My sharp friends who were not previous 5Dimes customers have been getting paid out large sums with no changes to their accounts.

 

[FrankDexter]

College basketball and NHL.

I don't remember what they were exactly and no way to go back and check now.

This wasn't my 1st withdrawal but I wasn't making max bets nor max withdrawals.

Left more than 75% of my balance in there.

I know some who have been limited at BAS that have never played at 5D.

They obviously do not have the ability to book to action.

Just another clone robot book who cuts limits because they don't have the talent to hack being a real bookie.

Which books do you consider to be real bookmakers?
