Joined on Friday.

Can't buy points, lines don't go out until 3 hours before gametime, and now the crap book don't even have a 2H line up for VCU-St.Joe's.

Regretting switching over there.

Anybody have anything positive to say about Bovada?

yea they are solid for me...   u can't buy pts on lines that are even (2,3,4,6,7,8 etc)  but i been playing with them for years...

cashed out $2997 4pm eastern last sunday.. it was approved by 4:20pm and my check arrived on friday...  4 business days, faster than a bookie, yet everyone complains about them... 

any other books pay you in 4 business days?

Thanks for all the replies guys...

APOLOGIES by me for saying they didn't have 2h line on VCU game.

They did and I didn't see it but the slow lines coming out and not buying points is kinda discouraging...

keep as many books as possible because...........if you ever become successful at this you'll eventually be chased from books. Meaning, they will drastically reduce your betting amount to a point where it's not even worth betting OR they'll flat out refuse your action. They will tell you "it's a business decision and that you should take it as a compliment"

I know .....I have had this happen to me at several off shore books.

KEEP EVERY BOOK YOU CAN....EVEN BOVADA !!

I have accounts with Bovada, 5 dimes and the greek. All pay....isn't that what is important? If you have OPTIONS, you bet your best line. Bovada is ok for my purposes.

I don't care for them either. When you deposit via credit card they they hit you with a percentage on deposit and they also don't like to let you parlay same games with totals. They can be selective on what they let you parlay and half time bets are not there on a lot of games.
