    I will never re-up with Bookmaker again !!!!!
    So I'm driving home from work today and wanted to get a line on the 6pm bowl game. (I was playing the game with my local and he plays with the line, so I needed a current line to see which way he is moving it.) and yes, it would be nice to have a funded account somewhere, but went bust last night going 0-3!

    So anyways, I'm scrolling down my contact list and Bookmakers # is the first I come to. I call them and ask them for the line. The clerk says "you have a zero balance and haven't made a deposit in a few months so I can't give you the line." I'm like WTF!!!

    So what's so secret about their lines???? What a fukkin joke!!! If I were on line I could see their lines anyways!!!

    I will never give them my business again! Fukkin assholes!!!

    Wow this is good to know.....I remember having a question like that with my current sportsbook, but they just gave me the line, actually they gave me a few lines. My account balance was also Zero.

      That is bad business practice. They could have just given you the line and invited you to make a deposit. Maybe offer you a nice bonus, but to flat out say no to giving you the line because you haven't played there recently is just cold.

        That's silly. You can pull up their website and get the lines without logging in.

          but they can't have every bum call in and get whatever lines they want. they aren't paying their phone answering bitches to accommodate people that don't have any investment/balance with them.

            i am thinking that they arent a line service and they definatly dont want to tie up lines with giving out lines. i dont think they even want someone to call to check the line then call back to make the bet. at least i dont. i think people should be on the call. that is just my thoughts.

              Get a smartphone and look it up. You are wasting their valuable time by calling for no good reason.

                  can't blame them. why should you expect them to let you tie their phone lines up when you can't even make a bet?

                    worst book and most overrated book offshore..

                    they lied to me. they told me if i made large deposit, i'd get loyalty pts for life. 1 week later, they took em out (even though i was down money also). They also stole money from me. they promised me free withdrawals if i made that deposit. then they charged me 280$ for each transfer i made to matchbook.. Then i told them i'd let it go if they gave me a bonus after i make a deposit and they said NO..

                    Fukk this book. They lied to my face...i hope everyone leaves this place and their huge withdrawal fees and their crappy 20 cent lines and i hope everyone there cashes out and never go back.

                                    I had them as one of my books a while back and withdrew everything after a month or so. Much better books out there and ya, they are priks. They need a blood sample to answer a simple question.

                                          Have you filed a complaint with SBR yet?

                                          Can't believe they would not offer a free service to someone who is not playing with them and has not played with them in several months.

                                            OK, so I understand that they don't want to tie up their phone lines, but it would have been a lot quicker to just give me the line instead of explaining why they wont! It's not like I never played there before!

                                            So now they pissed me off and will never get another dime from me! Their loss, not mine!

                                              Point is if they do it for you then they need to do it for everybody and before you know it every local bookie in the world will be calling them before accepting bets from their players. Sure it would have been quicker to tell you the line but long term it is more likely to save them more time by deterring you from calling them every time you need to know what the line is.

                                              Lets be realistic here you have $0 funded with them and can't bet the game anyhow so in what way would it benefit them to be your free line feed????

                                              Maybe you can start calling and asking them for scores also??? it would be pretty simple for them to look up the score for you.

                                                  They pay well but worse MLB lines ever not up to date they need to find a new manager.
