Bowmans SportsBook

Bowmans SportsBook Remember those juicy lines?? My questions, is there any sportsbook that would be similar now??? What ever happend to Bowmans?? Thanks bj

What a great book this was and I was only in there for a few weeks. I was in WWTS that was also a fantastic book with good numbers and always paid. I think Bowmans took them over so I never signed up directly with Bowmans. They had really advantageous halftime bets I recall. I believe Bet365 took them over shortly after I got in so as far as I know they don't exist now. You can probably look into Bet365 but they are quick to put a collar on people betting off numbers. Their rating at sportsbook review has dropped into the "C" class as well. I'm not sure why. My experience there was they always paid and from people I knew that had accounts. They advertise quite heavily in Canada and you can see them on the fields of some of the stadiums. I'm a little surprised at their rating because of that. But I'm certain that you be put on a collar quickly for betting good numbers. One time I was collared at the book only up a few hundred dollars and before I had even earned the bonus just for playing "off" numbers. I think Sportsinteraction would be the book for good numbers right now and their rating is in the "B" category at sportsbook review. I do think sharp players have had problems there for obvious abuse but if playing yourself their reputation is pretty good recently. Unlike Bet365 they are fairly consistent in allowing you to at least win some money before putting on drastic collars or kicking you out of the book.

Thanks your 2 cents Skeeter well appreciated. What do you think of matchbook, I like the way they price.. I know Fezz says watch,,, but What do you And others say about matchbook??? thanks again,, bj

I do review carefully the ratings at [url]www.sportsbookreview.com[/url]. I don't believe that is the final word in ratings but if I see some problems at books I may avoid them. But not always. For instance, SIA is a book that I see a number of complaints abound but I have been paid and all other "beards" or "friends" have been paid. I have to go with my own experience here. It is encouraging that the ratings are now "B-" I think now which more reflects my experience. WSEX is a book one has to avoid at the moment. I was owed money there and the sportsbook review site was still A- and clearly my withdrawals were taking 60 days with several calls made to the book for payment. I don't know how it will work out there. They did pay me but I never went back in with another account and last payment was received about a year ago. It has dropped to D or something like that and the complaints are numerous. Matchbook I would defer more to the experts that are here and who make large bets. Fez would be one and there would be others on this forum. Its rating is in the "B" category at sportsbookreview.com. It meets my standards for payment then. I don't think I've seen any complaints of non-payment from this book. My own experience has been when I've requested payment there the withdrawals have been received in a timely manner through the e:wallets which I can use. I would guess the rating drop is from some relationship with WSEX which I don't know a lot about and I heard some rumour about credit betting while ago. My own concern that is unique to this book is that although we believe we are playing amongst ourselves and the book would not have risk, I have concerns that there are large bettors who may be on credit at this book who actually supply the liquidity at great prices that we like. Like a market maker on a stock exchange, a money maker although an expert on a stock can lose. If some of these Matchbook "market makers" lose and play on credit and lose big, isn't my credit risk as a player just with these individuals ultimately? In other words, one has to know that the book is being played by everyone who has made cash deposits. If it isn't and too much of this funding is credit backed well if they don't pay I don't like my balance security too much.
