i've used sportsfanatik.com, and they were very efficient in their payouts.
quick question, was this the first time you cashed out from mvp? I had to fax a copy of my drivers license to sportsfanatik...as i've had to do at a couple poker sites too....the first time i made a cashout. After that though, it was quick and painless

I had cashed out before, a couple years ago and never had them request a copy of my ID. I hear other sites do it now as well and it doesn't really bother me except they could have told me that when I made a deposit (which they didn't need ID for, hhmm). The other stuff was a giant sized pain in the ass thought for sure. Like I said I did get my money and thats the bottom line, I will just play elsewhere though for sure.

ouch man, that sounds like a HELL of a lot of pain in the ass -- i probably would have broke down and threatened to kill the cust. service guy's children

Yeah, these books, and poker sites, dont seem to have problems at all taking deposits from people...it's just when they try to cashout that," we need to protect the security of our players" and what not. But, in an unregulated business, I guess we have to expect that.

I'm waiting for the day some politician gets the balls to attempt and legalize and regulate online poker and gambling. Think of all the tax dollars this country is losing....

Use english bookies. It's regulated there and there are no problems.
I've used William Hill and Bet365 for about 5 years. Never had a problem ever.
Of couse, I'm Canadian so I never too many problems when it comes to sports betting

Kind of off-topic but is sports betting profitable, or is it kinda like a coinflip since your just betting on who's going to win.

sports betting can be profitable but so can playing poker. they kind of go hand and hand since you could bet lets say USC vs Penn St and go
'allin' on USC and Penn St. (72o) ends up winning. Same thing with poker all you can do is get your money in with the best of it and go from there.
