Test Email Submission

Dear sirs,

I just opened a new account with your place and have a few questions.

1) Will you offer lines on the NIT men’s hoops tourney?
2) What betting limits will there be for the NCAA men’s hoops tourney?
3) Are overnite lines offered for either tourney?
4) If I lose all of my initial deposit, is there a reload bonus?

Thanks, Dennis Holcomb

Comments: Mike’s honesty has frightened Mr. Holcomb out of moving forward. Dennis wonders why his betting limits depend on the amount deposited and if he would benefit from sending more or less. Dennis is now also wondering what potential problems can occur with a processor.

Comments: Dennis had his hart set on betting the NIT tournament but will have to contact 10Bet again to find out if they are a viable option. He will also have to ask 10Bet what they consider to be "early" in reference to the statement, "We post our odds early".

Comments: Dennis is puzzled by Ian’s offer for “further assistance” since he doesn’t feel he received any assistance to start with. Mr. Holcomb’s only remaining question is, How Ian managed to write a paragraph absent of any kind of relevant information. Dennis will pass on BetUSA due to his impression that clerks will not try to help with his account questions.
