Bovada has really good cash back bonuses if you bet ponies a lot

I’d love a 5-4-6 outcome right now in a tri box in Australia

Just started using Bovada this football season, no complaints.

Used 5dimes and liked it but their reload bonuses are non-existent which is why I moved on.

Well then, don't lose so much. I pulled out my original deposit a few weeks ago and playing on all house money now. I'll see how it goes through bowl season then either leave it or pull out some more and leave some for next year.

That being said, and I"ve said it on her before, I bet relatively small units. I consistently make about 6-7 bets a week, but they aren't the $200 bets I see people on here bragging about. But, I got 4 months of entertainment out of it, it didn't cost a dime and I'll end up with $150 profit or so unless I lose my arse in bowl season. That's the plan.

So, I"m not OT Baller and I know it. Plus, I just can't stomach losing $250 in a weekend.

When I was betting, the problem I had with these offshore accounts is that they would pay me in a check from a bank in Tapei or the like. I'd bring it to the bank, the teller would look at me funny and say "we have to send this to collections."
And if it ever came to it, endorsing that check is pretty much prima facia evidence of...
Still, the checks always cleared. Just uncomfortable. Bitcoin I suppose is the best method.

I use bovada and never had issues. Best is to find a local book though.

Bovada screwed me once sending a check from a Canadian bank that closed down. Haven’t used it since never will again.

Interesting. I’m on Bovada but I dont have to worry about that because I just donate money to them.

Good friend of mine went through a ton of issues trying to cash a Canadian check from them.

I have used Bovada because when I was looking for an online sports book it was the only one I could find that you could open an account and make the deposit with a credit card. Looked like the other ones you needed to use bit coin or western union them a check.

They gave me a $100 bonus on my $200 deposit but I was not aware that you have to bet 5 times your bonus within six months or lose winnings won with your bonus. The way figure it, that is your whole account. By 5 times your bonus ($100 in my case) they mean $1500 not $500 as you would think. I had built my account up to about $800 from my original account of $300 before reading some fine print when I noticed I couldn't withdraw any money. I had to hurry up and make a lot more bets in a short period of time in order to cover the minimum betting requirements and lost about $400 by not betting in my usual pattern of making safe small bets. But if Nunes beats DeRandamie this weekend my account should be back up to about $675 after that fight.
I might try to make a withdrawel of some of that money after that fight and see how it goes. Not very confident it will work out.

I notice that they say that you get one free withdrawel every 3 months. Other than that they charge 10% on the amount withdrawn. For some reason I think they are going to find some fine point or small print point of why I cant make the withdrawel or will send me a bogus check.
