Bettrojan, I presume ?

They were always fair with me.

From what I understand Betrojan and Topcat are the same. I am with the Topcat site.

Topcat has been booking credit players for over 20+ years now, and are very professional about it too I might add. Their first attempt at going post up years ago was a flop, but it does look like they made adjustments to correct the mistakes with BetTrojan.

The one thing about BetTrojan is that they are more of a recreational type book. Also they currently have no outstanding complaints levied against them at this time.

Mike does visit the forums from time to time and seems to listen to his clients in regards to what they want.

BetTrojan just copies lines from Don Best, they don't have a linesmaker on staff.

I am not sure what difference that makes, by the way I don't subscribe to Donbest, don't all the books pretty much follow the leaders in what their lines will be. I don't think there is much difference from one sports book to the next when it comes to lines and if there is you have to be concerned when a book has lines that are different because that usually means they are incompetent or don't care because they are not going to pay anyway. Topcat paid me and that is all that matters.

Most books do use the copy cat type lines like that Jaypavs. I don't hold that against anyone for riding others coat tails in that type of fashion either. In fact it's sometimes an advantage really if your a bonus hunter and know who's lines a book is using.

95% books copy lines from the big 3 or so, actually a good idea.

There is no need for a book to make their own lines, ect

I dealt with BetTrojan. I received a small bonus initially. I bet there relatively small because they had excellent lines and reduced juice. I was lucky enough to win a little. They cut my limits to half and shortly afterwards booted me. They were very clear about their decision, they said, and I quote, "we don't take sharp action". I don't really consider myself "sharp" but they did. They paid me whatever was my balance. Interestingly they charged a small fee for paying me my final balance because there had not been enough time between that payment and the prior withdrawal or something like that. I called and talked to them about this and they were very understanding and waved the fee. I liked dealing with them. I would still do if they 'd have me.

I have never heard a bad thing about them.

They did tell me that if I was going to play line moves, which I do not, they would shut my account down and return my money. It was explained to me that they wouldn't tolerate someone waiting for a line change then placing a wager within seconds of the line change right before they could make the adjustment. I think that is fair and they informed me of that upfront.

Try betting their on a line thats better than Pinnacle. Your opinion will change pretty quickly.

To all those who say it's no big deal they just copy Don Best, that may be true if they actually moved their lines when other books do.

It becomes a problem when they don't bother changing their lines, then make you out to be the bad guy when you bet the game.

I would agree that it would be wrong for any book to blame its players for betting a line that they neglected to change. I don't believe any book who operated in that fashion would last in the business. I think they are talking about people who wait around for a line change and jump on it before it is changed, were talking seconds. I would think it pretty easy for a book to figure out who is playing that game and put an end to it.
