My experience with betphoenix:

I give this book an A-.


I would give them an A, but it is pretty tough to deposit with a credit card, you have to call them rather than just do it online.


Here are some reasons why I love this book:

1. They have 10 cent baseball lines
2. They have 10 cent 5 inning lines
3. They also offer +/- runlines on 5 inning lines as well
4. You can parlay ANY 5 inning runline/moneyline with other 5 inning lines OR full game lines or runlines (You dont see that often)
5. They paid out via moneygram on 3 occassions within 24 hours.
6. People actually speak english! Not some damn person from India!
7. Lines are up around 7pm for the next days MLB action and STILL offer 10 cent lines
8. Their lines ARE not the same as other books. It just so happens that fucked me on 2 occassions in basketball though, but oh well, my fault.
9. They offer some of the best bonuses in the industry for a book that ACTUALLY pays players. (By the way, I did not take any bonuses so maybe that might have made a difference, who knows)
10. I phone in around 40% of my bets, and these GUYS speak english again!!!!! They are always real fast and courteous while taking the bets.
11. Many other reasons


I do have one little problem. I mentioned it above, but it involves the CC issue. When you call in and try and make the deposit, they always transfer you to your account manager to make the deposit. I am not used to that. At betjam, the first customer service rep that couldnt give a damn who you are takes all of the information over the phone. Or you of course deposit online at betjam, but I guess that they do this because of security issues.

I dont know anything about djeffries issue, but if it involves bonuses then I would not be able to help. I didnt take any bonuses so I cant comment on that. But they do offer great bonuses from what I see

Re: My experience with betphoenix:

seem pretty vanilla to me, no variety of sports.

they offer somewhat opinionated lines. it's tougher to do it with so few NBA games on the schedule but they have been offering half points different. sometimes with added vig sometimes not, basically opposite of SIA/Bodog. I like their gameplan with 2nd halves a lot.

Re: My experience with betphoenix:

i've been very impressed with phoenix too, but i haven't played there long so take it for what it's worth. i haven't requested a payout yet, as i'm still working on a rollover requirement for a $200 contest i won.

depositing via credit card really was a bit of a pain in the ass, but at least they offer that feature.

lines are good, gotta love low juice.

and yeah, i'd say the best part i've experienced thus far has to be the customer service. the best of any book i've used thus far.

my one complaint - and it isn't even really a complaint, just a comment - is that their software seems a bit outdated/messy. looks like a good tech-guy/programmer could clean that up a bit. but that's not really anything relevant to $$$, just an aesthetic thing. i wish more books used the software used by all the sportsbook.com books. terribly-rated books, but betting softward second to none, imo.

but yeah, i rate this book an A- too. if/when the day comes i request a payout and get it without problems, i'd gladly give 'em an A+ and rank them right there with the big boys.

I was told that if you waive the bonus, then you don`t get a straight 10cent baseball line.

A CS rep told me that at -145 it goes to a 15 cent line and continusly gets higher.

Another problem they have is the very low limits your able to cashout, 950 max via MG, 2K money order, No W.U cashout,no checks or bank wires.

there CS was excellent, as you stated clear english speaking and very helpful.

Re: My experience with betphoenix:

Well I believe that the MG payout max was $1000, but that is why I did 3 payouts. I thought that you can get a cashiers check though
 
Re: My experience with betphoenix:

What I thought BP was a -105 book?

Is is possible to sign up, deposit and get -105 MLB lines without having them lock up your money for two weeks and require a rollover? I'd rather get -105 than a 15% freeplay or whatever.

Re: My experience with betphoenix:

not a bonus issue..and not really a phoenix issue, it is regarding a mania account not used since phoenix took over things. they just decided to make it a phoenix issue.

see my post, up to now i loved these guys. Great c/s, best bonus in the industry and been very good to me and many posters here with the freebies. I had issues with mania in the past, but that was prior to phoenix and i cant fault phoenix management for issues before they took over. I am sure it will be worked out..just not happy with the way someone decided to handle this.

I spoke with Richard in regards to your matter, you need to contact him if you want to get it worked out. He would be more than happy to speak with you about it. It may be a misunderstanding and then again it may not be.....

i asked a very nice customer service rep of theres the exact same question this afternnon,and was told absolutly not.

i told her i want no bonus of any kind, could i still recieve the 5 cent line she said no, i then asked if it was a 10cent line, she told me only up to -145, then it goes higher and higher as the line increases.

ballwonder, why would a cs rep tell me i could not even get a straight 10 cent line?

I understand refusing me the reduced juice line of -105, all i wanted to do was open up an account with no bonus involved and a 10cent lne, but was told NO WAY.

Contact Richard tommorow, I spoke with him and he said 100 percent if you do not request and bonus or special promos we run here than the 105 is not a problem. Please contact him. Thanks.

Hey boob, yes they are a sponsor here.

Now, was the post I found the same one that was deleted, or is it just one that magically appeared out of thin air?
