    betus.. from recent personal experiece an EXCELLENT BOOK. Some people on hear claim they are no good but NO EXAMPLES of anything so I'm not sure what the issue is to be honest. They offer A HUGE bonus but I do have to say that there baseball lines are TERRIBLE but then again there lines are the same as bookmaker so you have been betting sucker lines for a while...

      thanks for your response...but i will certainly be your example of a reason NOT to play at betus...they never stiffed me but it always took them 2-3 months to get a check from them...maybe they have fixed there problems but they were a D book for a reason...there customer service ppl always tell you the check is on the way and they dont give tracking numbers...yea, the check is on the way 3 months later..lol

            I always wondered why bookies rarely take AMEX. Any ideas? Are they doing more to try and snuff out suspicous activity towards online gambling in the US so bookies don't generally use them? (That said, I don't think EURO bookies accept them either).

            Or is it because nobody really uses AMEX cards? Anyone know?

              Amex charges businesses higher fees then ****/********** so im guessing thats why some companies choose not to take it...the reason im still looking to use Amex is because my **** card is charging a 2% foreign transaction fee now.

                Thanks for the info, always wondered about that. I assume you are from the US and no other payment methods are available to you? Moneybookers, Neteller etc? Paypal is now an option for a few sites I have seen recently. A 2% fee every time you want to deposit into a book, thats ridicolous. I'm not trying to rub it in but the whole online gambling situation in the United States is a tad bit ridicolous. Correct me if I'm wrong because I probably am but I'm sure it costs money to even remotely attempt to stop people from gambling online so why do it? You see their points of view on gambling itself (the cons if you like) but then again they allow brick and mortar sportsbooks/casinos right?

                So basically they are saying, we're are completely fine with Gambling if it's done via this method but not this other one? Sorry for the whole rant but I always found it illogical. I guess it's because gambling is so easy here in Ireland. If I want to place a bet and I'm away from a computer, I have 6 local bookies, more if you include the smaller bookies within 20 mins walking distance from my apartment. Nothing skimmed down, all betting options that you would find on any site.

                Anway , back on topic, according to the following link DIAMOND SPORTSBOOK accept AMEX.
