WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
Im debating between which site to put money on, mainly for sportsbetting. Im a relatively small stakes bettor, and ive had money on both sites before but it was along time ago. I know Wsex has rakeback and it seems like they offer more lines than sportsbook. How are both sites with cashouts? Which would you guys suggest? Thanks for your help

If you're in the U.S. it's kind of hard to get money on these sites.

Rakeback on WSEX has nothing to do with sports-betting. It has only to do with poker.
The lines they offer on the games at WSEX are pretty lousy.

Have some people been having trouble getting their money out of sportsbook? I haven't paid attention as I don't have an account there.

WSEX is one of the sites I would trust the very most regarding cash-outs.

between these 2, wsex in a landslide.

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
No doubt.

Mathcbook.com isn't bad though.

Getting money on there is kind of a pain just like so many other places these days...but you can transfer your funds over from WSEX or Olympic for example if you happen to have money on those sites.

Tony_Money 03-08-2007 08:55 PM

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
why would you trust them the most?
And I did say MAINLY for sportsbetting
Also Im looking right now and the lines are the same for the most part, but there are 2 games with a .5 differential

WSEX has a very good relationship with regard to the way they treat their players. Sportsbook.com not so much. Check out SportsbookReview.com for alot of good info on sportsbooks.

I would choose Bodog over WSEX and Sportsbook.

For a casual sports bettor, WSEX is easily the correct choice. For someone looking to make money, Sportsbook is easily the correct choice.

Sportsbook more frequently has lines that are different than the rest of the market.

Run a search on sportsbook and you'll see one bettors problem.

WSEX of course, support the rake free poker site anyway possible.

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
I cashed out within the last month at WSEX and received a check within a week so I can confirm their cashout process is pretty solid.

Thremp 03-09-2007 03:49 PM

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
sportsbook.com is much easier to print money at.

Why wouldn't this make Sportsbook the preferred choice for the casual gambler also?

There is more variance involved with regard to slow pays and the potential for strange things like canceled futures bets (as happened during the sales to "shell" sites after UIGEA). I made the assumption that a casual bettor is more interested in security of funds than in maximizing profit.

WSEX...

In the years of business, they never have one payout stiff, is this enough reason? and they're rated A+ on SBR? is this enough? They have super customer service, is this enough?

The casual gambler doesn't shop the sites for half points; he sets up his account, and gets his money in there on the team he likes for the game on TV that night.

Didn't sportsbook change ownership (and regulating home country) recently? It may be that we're dealing with an essentially new entity - which could be either net negative or net positive, I don't know.

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
Sportsbook has great live chat support to help with any problem. Right now they are changing processors like many sites so cashouts are backed up and slow right now. But so far I like them for the poker and sports bets and helpful support. Just sucks cashouts are slow right now.

707782 03-09-2007 10:52 PM

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
Please...

Choosing WSEX or sportsbook is a no brainer... not even close.

Just do some research, and you'll see for yourself.

Thremp 03-09-2007 10:54 PM

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
Clearly if you plan on making +EV bets it sportsbook.com and if you wanna lose your deposit it WSEX.


Homer was dead on. This question is retardo. Choosing a sportsbook isn't like choosing a poker room at all.

Which part of my posts do you disagree with?

Incidentally, how much do you bet per game? How many books do you use? Are you aware of how much a half-point is worth for spreads/totals in NBA/NCAA/etc?

EDIT - I don't mean to come across as a condescending prick. My questions are genuine. Most casual bettors who are more interested in security than in profit will prefer WSEX. Most professional sports bettors would take Sportsbook over WSEX if given the choice of only one of the two sites.

this is a poker forum, just go to any sportsbetting forum, rx, eog, sbr, and make a thread ask for anyone that's intereted.

and for those two guys, they're [censored].

Those sites consist of mostly losing players, why would you ask them?

Which two guys are [censored] (not sure exactly what word that is)? Thremp and I, because our opinion doesn't mesh with yours? Please explain why you disagree instead of calling us names and saying "wtf whatever". That is something a little kid would do.

It's sad that whenever someone expresses a different opinion on this website they are flamed instead of being spoken to rationally.

Just to pop this thread up to remain you guys that sportsbook have not make one payout in over a month.

Also, I would like to say F U to all those dicks that recommend a scam type book.

cardman 03-22-2007 02:39 PM

Re: Uhh, Homer...Thremp...
 
I can't believe people are comparing WSEX to Sportsbook.com. The industry's in chaos mode. WSEX wins hands down for security of funds and likelyhood of payment. Who would you trust more?

Moneyline 03-22-2007 03:50 PM

Re: WSEX or Sportsbook.com?
 
Go with Matchbook. WSEX owns matchbook, so your funds are 100% safe, but at matchbook you'll be able to get better lines than at either WSEX or sportsbook.com. If you want to play no-rake poker at WSEX, I'm pretty sure (although not 100% positive) that you can transfer money from matchbook to WSEX. Sportsbook.com will have good dog lines on occasion, but on the whole you'll get better lines at matchbook, and you'll get them without the headache of wondering if you'll ever receive your cashouts, as sportsbook.com has had major problems with payouts lately.

EDIT: Also, 5dimes is a very good book too. They offer reduced juice on most sports, have a poker room, and are incredibly safe.

Re: Uhh, Homer...Thremp...
 
I personally prefer both sportsbook.com's poker and their sportsbook. Just one man's opinion though.

Re: Uhh, Homer...Thremp...
 
Let's pump this up again to remind people to AVOID SPORTSBOOK.

Thousand of customers are waiting for a payout from them for months, and on one has got one yet in months.

Homer and Thremp just lost all his credit for recommend a scam book to people.
