SIA
 

So Bowmans finally caught on and stopped offering me good dog lines. As a result, I need to shift my money to another book for week 17 and going forward for the NFL. Sports Interaction seems to be the next best spot for dog betting. Can I trust them with payouts? Are their dogs lines reliably 10 cents better than their sportsbook competition (i.e. get +7.5 instead of WA +7 in NFL?)...other pros and cons? Thanks for the help.

hey sygamel, i've been using sia since hs, around 1998 and they have always made good. In fact, I was leery of going to other online books because sia has been so reliable.

If not for me, take it from the buffalo bills great Jim Kelly. He is a spokesperson for sia, which I find humorous.

I'm not sure which method you will be using to fund the account. I use neteller and they have always made payment within 24-36 hours. You will occasionally see deposit bonuses as well. They have some pretty interesting prop bets as well.

Check your PM as well.

Re: SIA
 

Reports about them are mixed, but SIA generally does not have a good reputation. Cash outs sometimes take 30 days or longer, and it is widely known that they close accounts of people who win money from them long term. Their lines are excellent however.

Re: SIA
 

they DO payout... it's just a matter of when - i've used the book for many years because they dont move their lines very quickly

so just be wary that your money may not come when you expect it when you withdrawl...

Well one potential problem I have upcoming is I need to withdraw my NFL $ immediately after 1/1/06 to pile it into baseball Hall of Fame betting (election results on 1/10). Will 5 business days be enough to get my money? Could I get it in 3?

Re: SIA
 

your best bet is to use Neteller as your deposit/withdrawl methods as they seem to be the quickest - i couldn't tell you if 5 business days would be enough to get your money, and neither could they

Re: SIA
 

thanks. I emailed them for further info, still waiting on their response.

edit:

One last question. You make no mention on how your website of how long it takes Neteller customers to receive requested withdrawal money. Could you clarify this time frame for me? Thanks.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for contacting Sports Interaction.

Should you request a Neteller withdrawal from the Sports book it will be processed the business day following the date of request and will be available in your Neteller account in 24-48 hours.

If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Happy Holidays,

Matthew

Lines are even better than Bowman's square side IMO. As CCx said, they seem slow to adjust (as well as shading the favorite side as much as Bowman's). I frequently find middles/scalps checking SIA lines with Pinnacle/Mansion.


In fact at this moment the Jets are +8 +110 at SIA and Pats are -7.5 -104 at Mansion.

I have not cashed out with them yet, but from what I hear their reputation is improving.

Re: SIA
 

i made one cashout with them so far and it was doing quickly via neteller. i wouldn't say the dog lines are as good as bowmans (no friday afternoon specials), but they are very, very good, and i think you will be pleasantly surprised with them as an out. they have lots of good futures odds as well.
