Would your recommendation be to just wait for the funds to clear then? Or is there a way for me to talk to the branch manager without mentioning gambling?

Personally i'd wait for them to clear. At this point coming back in after you've made the deposit is probably going to look more suspicious and draw more attention to you than you want. I'd just let the check clear which should only be another couple banking days.\

If you did want to call, I'd call up the bank's main number and just ask to see if the deposit was misplaced (ideally you should have your deposit slip handy) because you hadn't seen the money hit your account. You could also do this in person - just walk in with the deposit slip and ask if they bank made a mistake. Don't mention anything about them holding the money, just act like you made any other normal deposit, waited a couple days, and didn't see the money so you wanted to check it didn't go to the wrong account or something.

I have been waiting for 3 things: tax refunds from the federal and 2 state governments, unauthorized charges to my debit card to be reversed by my bank, and a check from TradeSports.

The check from Tradesports is the first and only one that's cleared.

Shows how competent our government and banks are.

Thank you, UIGEA, for watching out for me!

Thremp will be back in a couple days (assuming he choses to come back).

He's not on an IP ban, he can still read the boards (in theory, was having some trouble earlier) just can't post.

Hey guys, I have a question:

Can I be successful at sports betting even if I don't know ANYTHING about sports? If I will only pick lines from this forum, can I achieve positive ROI?

I am interested in gambling in general and since sports betting is such a big part of it, I want to learn something about it. I was thinking about depositing $100 in to a sportsbook and betting $1 per time just to get a feal of it.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Yes. Pick off soft lines at slow to move books and/or follow known winners.

What have you people never banked before? Jesus. Any non payroll check regardless has a "hold" for 5 days on it. Correction, any non payroll check not from your bank. Totally standard. It's okay and absolutely nothing to worry about.

That's not true. I've never had them place a hold on a check from Neteller, Pinnacle, Stars, etc., this was the first time. Every other time my money has been available that evening. Either way, I was never concerned about my money being safe but rather getting access to it earlier without jeopardizing it.

well, so my post isn't 100% accurate, it does happen often though. It's nothing to worry about.

You probably hate this kind of questions but I have to ask:

What sportsbook should I open an account with if I only want to deposit $100? The reason I ask is because I don't want to open an account where I can get a big deposit bonus later on. So basicaly I want to deposit without getting any bonuses. Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
