So I recieved a free $20 from sportsbook.com during the superbowl. I made some bets and was able to grow it to an amount that I can cash out ($65).

They sent an email that the check is being sent. Now I get this...

Your $65.00 withdrawal is currently in a queue. As soon as it reaches the top of that queue, it will be on its way to you. Although our customer care team is more than happy to help you at all times, there is unfortunately nothing they can do to speed this process up.

The backlog is shifting (we are processing a lot faster than new withdrawals are occurring), but it will take time. Your money is safe and with a company who could afford to take the time to ensure that it was never anything less than safe. We will be around for as long as the US public wants to make the right choices for themselves, and you are making that happen right now.

We thank you and all our customers sincerely for your understanding at this time - it is wholeheartedly appreciated.

Regards,

The Sportsbook.com Management Team.

Anyone have bad luck with this site in the past? Would be nice to boost my poker bankroll if it comes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Depends what you are looking for. Are you looking for low vig (-105) on standard events and don't really care about hitting early opening numbers? If so, a place like Cascade would be good for you. Are you looking to hit early opening numbers or a wide variety of props? If so, a place like TheGreek would be good for you.

Cascade seems to be in trouble. See Sportsbookreview.com reports. Stay away. I'm not holding out much hope that I'll see my money.

Quick question about bodog hockey bets (though it likely applies elsewhere). I currently have the under in the Calgary/Detriot game. If it goes into overtime with a score of 2-2, and the game is settled by a shootout, do I win the bet or push? Thanks.

[Performify]

The information you want is in Bodog's FAQ, under Rules and Policies, then Sport Specific Rules, then Hockey. Direct link: https://www.bodog.com/help/sportsboo...ific-rules.jsp

Hockey

1. Hockey games don't have to go full regulation play for wagers to have action. Games are official for wagering purposes after 55 minutes of play.
2. In addition to wagers on the whole game, all third period wagers include results from overtime.
3. For games that require a shootout, only one goal will be awarded to the winning team when determining the final score regardless of how many goals are scored during the shootout round.
