Does anyone use this book? I've been using it for years and love it.
They accept all credit cards and my mastercard still works fine there. They also will send FedEx Checks if you need to withdraw. You get 1 free withdrawal a month.

Well, it's the biggest sportsbook in the world basically so I'd guess a couple people in here use it.

Well, I'm using it right now and while it serves its purpose, I've got to say.....compared to Pinnacle...well, lets just say it isn't comparable to Pinnacle.
My buddy and I have been talking about this recently. You don't realize how good Pinnacle is until you have to go somewhere else.
Very few O/U in college basketball. I would have loved to have taken the over in the X/Duquesne game last night...couldn't do it. Plus, I got on the site this morning around 9:45 a.m. and this evening's lines weren't even up yet.
While funding it is convenient, you definitely take a hit on what is offered and when its offered on sportsbook.
I had always used Pinnacle....in the past, when posters have asked "what is the best site?" many people reply that Pinny is by far the best. I didn't really know because I didn't use any other sites.....
Well, now I know.

Nigel - Sportsbook doesn't put the day's lines up until 11am at the earliest, and they only carry o/u's for nationally televised games (as I'm sure you've found out).
I use a local, and have an unfunded account there just to track line movement and public betting when I get curious.

They aren't great with the lines but you don't have to worry about them closing shop or freezing funds.
That's my big concern right now.

I just got a call from them cause I my credit card didn't work and what they basically do is if your card won't work then they just figure out a way to make it work. I asked him about whether they would continue to accept US customers and he said it was a private company as opposed to a public trading one so it was just like using your credit card to buy something on e-bay and they would continue to accept US customers, then they pay you by fed ex-check for withdrawals.
