Honestly, you'll find the full, accurate breakdown right on their own site. Here:

And yeah, you definitely have to send stuff—standard procedure to prove you actually are who you say you are and that your info matches your registration.

Jacob Ruiz86 said:It's already 2-0 in the 15th minute... should be an easy win. Not like I was sweating it too much, though—I wasn't exactly playing for high stakes, just some mid-tier action.

You called it a mess.

Jacob Ruiz86 said:I'm with you on that. Time to go all out against the French today.

Stuffing definitely isn't some small or mid-sized stake. 🤷

Jacob Ruiz86 said:People seem to be overlooking the big picture here. In games like this, it’s all about building momentum and setting the right vibe before the big tournament kicks off. Plus, the intensity is insane—everyone is fighting tooth and nail just to secure a spot in the starting lineup. Those mid-summer stakes depend on performances exactly like this. Anyway, I didn't go with the French handicap today; just stuck to a straight win, pairing up with Jacob Torres21 and those young Spaniards.

Look, it’s just a preseason scrimmage. The score isn't everything. Plus, what Ethan Jones5 was saying... hmm. And honestly, I highly doubt these players are actually out to kill each other on the field.

What I really want to drive home is... Games like these? Not worth betting big money on.At the end of the day, we’re all just betting our own cash. Do what you want.

Did everyone forget this game doesn't actually matter? Winning isn't some life-or-death requirement here. There’s zero reason to go all in on a friendly or a preseason match. Personally, I might throw a casual bet on an app for fun, but I'd never put real money down on something like this.

swiftlynx34 said:Hey guys, does our bank get twitchy if they see money coming in from a betting site?
Mainly asking about Chase... the payout would be from DraftKings.
I heard if they spot transfers like that, they might call you in to sign some paperwork or whatever... I really don't want the headache!

Never had any issues with Chase before.🤷

Lawrence Castillo76 said:My bad for bringing up roles again.

It's all good. Just don't bring it up again until you actually post a screenshot of the ticket.😉

Lawrence Castillo76 said:I should probably just bet on the Nets and Detroit to win for a few dozen bucks, just so I don't feel bad later.

Then show us the slip with those few dozen bucks on it.😉

From now on, don't mention specific amounts unless you've got a photo of the ticket.🙂

Posts that aren't about the NBA have been moved to their proper threads. Please try to stay on topic.

Zachary Palmer3 said:Tried using 1.27 and it says it's wrong... now I'm stuck waiting 24 hours

I think I see what happened.
I selected Visa as the card type, but it's supposed to be Visa ELECTORN.
Does anyone know how to fix this or who I should call for customer support?
Thanks

Nah, that's not it. It's the amount.
They tend to swap the numbers on you—one minute it's 1.27, then a few hours later it's 1.21 or whatever. Basically, you have to wait 24 hours to request a new check, and then you just sit there for days. After my third attempt, I ended up waiting a full week before I could finally enter the right amount.

Harold Carter72 said:Bayern vs Real 2 at 5.50, thoughts?

Why not list some reasons for that bet? Why do you think it lands?
I'm thinking Real won't find their rhythm, while Bayern will just kill it on the pitch and take all three points... though I have this weird grudge against Real (and Barca), so maybe don't take my word for it.🤷

quietcrane452 said:Hey, I'm new here. Been lurking for a while reading all your sports takes—mostly NBA stuff—so I finally decided to jump in... watching a bit tonight and here's my current gut feeling:

Blake Griffin less
Joe Johnson less
Phoenix Suns
🙂

Welcome aboard! Good luck.
Just try to stick to the rules, alright? 😉

Christian Ruiz said:Can't be bothered to type out the analysis.😁

Jason Baker59 said:Nah. Just don't feel like it. 😁

Dana Baker2 said:Just say the word. Your track record and those "expert" analyses of yours certainly give you the authority.👍

Cut the trolling. So, just roll up your sleeves and get typing already. You could’ve finished this whole analysis by now if you’d actually started when you wrote that. ☕

Amy Miller47 said:Real Madrid will definitely pull off the win, but hitting that handicap at the Vicente Calderón? Unlikely.
I know things always get intense when Atletico Madrid is playing at home.

If you actually enjoy the chaos of betting, then go ahead and give it a shot. 😁

It’s not just about Madrid. 😉
Out of their last six away games, they've only covered the handicap once. Tough run.

March 31, 2012. La Liga. Osasuna vs. Real Madrid. Final score: 3-1. Rough outing for the visitors.
March 21, 2012. Villarreal vs. Real Madrid ended in a 1-1 draw. Just another day at the office.
March 10, 2012. La Liga. Real Betis vs. Real Madrid. A wild 3-2 finish. Intense stuff.
February 26, 2012. La Liga. Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Madrid. Final score: 3-0. Tough outing for the visitors.
Match results: Getafe vs. Real Madrid, 3-0.
Match results: RCD Mallorca 3-1 Real Madrid.

Handicap on Real Madrid? Yeah, no thanks. ☕

Bryan Adams6 said:Asking silly questions... does it even matter? All in. Real Madrid... that's just Real Madrid. REAAAALLLL. F2... all in... no reason needed, no explanation given. 😂

Yeah, I see that too. Just one. 🤦 For me.

James Carter18 said:What do you guys think about taking the handicap on Real Madrid for dinner tonight?

Why do you think that's a good pick?

D. Nowitzki (Dallas) (23,5) 1.85 More

What do you guys think about these 5 players (who should I keep, who should I cut according to you)? 🙂

Raymond Brown11 said:Chicago vs New York (+9.5) 2 at 1.85
New Jersey vs Philadelphia KP2 at 1.65

for a decent roll

Dennis Doyle44 said:-6.5 / Cleveland vs Charlotte 1st half at 1.85

and so on...

I don't get these kinds of posts. People are actually discussing things here, giving explanations for every single matchup, and then you just barge in with stuff like this?
Please, just stop.

Robert Foster86 said:Right, where am I supposed to upload a scan of my ID, passport, or whatever else they need? I don't see an option anywhere.

I'm thinking it would be under Members > my Account > know Your customer . Nothing is popping up for me since I sent my scans ages ago, but it feels like it should be tucked away under KYC 🤷

You could just ask them via chat. Under Contact US you've got Live chat.

Bryan Adams6 said:Anyone got an account at an ATM? How do they handle payouts? 🤷

Neteller? I see there's an option to use Maestra from the US. Anyone have any experience with that?

Where do you even find them? 🤣

Jose Peterson7 said:Is this actually true? Pinnacle just doesn't have any competition when it comes to the classic sportsbooks. Fewer sports to choose from, no crazy prop bets, but those limits are absolutely massive.

Authorization? Doesn't exist. There's a limit listed above every single match showing how much you can deposit per minute. So if the limit is $7,000 on the Premier League, you can basically drop another $7,000 every single minute. Ridiculous.

Blockade? Never heard of it. They’re too busy acting all proud about welcoming the "sharks"—those big-time American pros dropping $100,000 per match. Thanks in advance.

Which one of these?
Check out the offers here. Pinnacle And there it is. Just look at what they're peddling.

I don't know about all those minute-by-minute deposits up to a certain limit—doesn't really make sense to me. Why even have a maximum cap if that's the case? I've never actually needed to deposit more than what's allowed, but I know at Bet365 you can request a higher amount and it just goes to an agent for approval. So, I'm pretty sure Pinnacle works the same way.

They've got the best odds for singles. For the pros dropping $100 bucks at a time? I don't know, I figure those guys are probably sticking to Asian books.

Adam Cox25 said:Hey everyone.
Some online sportsbooks require a deposit before you can place your first bet. Since I'll be using Moneybookers to fund my account, I'm wondering if I can just bet directly on a specific game using my Moneybookers balance without making a separate deposit first? (And if I win, I'd just withdraw the winnings back to my Moneybookers account). Thanks.

(I scanned the first two pages of this thread, but reading the whole thing feels like too much work)

You really should have started from the last N pages. This thread has been open since way back in 2005—I'm sure things have changed quite a bit since then. 😉

Yeah, if the sportsbook supports Moneybookers, you can use it for deposits and withdrawals. I know for a fact that Pinnacle and Bet365 allow it.

goldenlynx182 said:Right, thanks. One more thing though—about the Social Security number and tax filings and all that nonsense... is that actually monitored? Since everything goes straight through the card, it shouldn't be hard for them to track the SSN.

Well, that's the catch. And honestly, that's exactly why BetMGM is so good.

Joshua Garcia8 said:BetMGM is great because it lets you sidestep the US regulations regarding gambling taxes. I haven't heard of anyone getting hit with taxes from depositing betting money into their bank account yet, but once the SSN tracking really kicks in, I doubt the government will let those crumbs slip by.
