Best Web Books Bovada And Bookmaker

[Tanko]

@jjgold if you’re anything of an expert at all here at BMR on who should be POTM for August. @KingKolzig better in your fucking top 3 or it will be 100% blasphemy on your part as an arbiter for that selection.

THIS!

 

[KingKolzig]

bovada is worth it for the poker alone

always a sit-n-go or tournament right in your price range from $5 to $500 ect

Nice interface but really, some of the worst lines and hold anywhere. Might find an occasional arb but in general, dealing 30 and 40 cent lines is a losing proposition.

Bovada never paid me. And as far as I know none of the other complaints were ever resolved. They are not a safe book to deposit at. It's not the place you wanna run up a balance.

can we ask how much they owed you. and what their reason was?

Sure. It's all in another thread I started but I can summarize.
They only owed me a few thousand. I got off easy compared to most of the others that got ripped off.
They claimed I bet over my max and that this was a violation of their rules. These are bets they willingly took. I'd go pick something, click max bet, and then bet it. According to them I was supposed to calculate my own max bet (per their bonus rules).
They sure weren't complaining about me going over my "max" bet when I was losing. They freerolled me big time. Freerolled a lot of guys. No justice for any of us so far.
All I can do is move on. But I will certainly remind other players of what they did every chance I get.

jjgold has probably 700k posts on forums about offshore sports betting (plus 50k on bodybuilding.com and TheLovelineCompanion but thats another matter), yet remains one of the absolute most CLUELESS posters out there.

Dogshit books, that’s why I don’t care to be a “baller”

All of those books are Dogshit

Everybody loses, so it doesn’t really matter what book you play at guys are talking like they’re sharps

Since we all lose, may as well use a book with the nice software so we can lose in comfort.

Bookmaker is a B+ book at best, a big fall from their heyday. Their betslip changes odds on you as you make a bet. It costs me 50-100k a year. Next, they harass winners and leave their payouts pending for days slowly asking for more and more KYC. This selfie, then that selfie, then fill out this spreadsheet. And after these delays, the BTC price has fluctuated and if it has fallen they short you. If BTC goes up, they pay you at the current market rate.

Bookmaker takes a big bet but they are shady too.

I've experienced this as well but on BOL. At first I thought it might be due to lines just moving but it makes you wonder when it happens so frequently.

I’m glad to hear a positive experience coming from a customer at BMR.

Bovada has been good to me (non-bonus player), but I guess they got strict with their bonus wagering limits and that hurt players including @Ace7550 .

Bovada is definitely a recreational book, however. They cut my wagering limits to peanuts and are not very useful compared to the big boys.

They don't even take big bets from me anymore. My limits there are 25% of my limits at BOL and Circa.

Their payouts have been silky smooth for me.

That never happens at BOL. They will change the odds on you perhaps, because odds change, but they won't force your bet in at worse odds without telling you.

So you're saying Bookmaker does this without letting you know its going to happen?
I've never had that happen.

As for BOL, I agree they let you know its happening before accepting the play. It just happens more frequently there than anywhere else. Maybe they update more often becasue of their size.

Yeah I've also never had it happen at BM and I've risked a ton there.

From what I've read it happens much more frequently in live betting. @caramba would have more info.
