As Johnny D. recently stated, these off-shore outlets never expect any bettor to recover their post-up funds. Although Boomer and Reno apparently get five figure payouts without any problem, I can almost see the tears in the books' eyes whenever I request a payout. I guess squares like me aren't supposed to get the money back. The BMs' marketing play is promise the bettor anything to get the post-up and then watch the balance disappear.
For example, last Thanksgiving my balance was running low in my only remaining account and I was looking to make a deposit with an establishment that would give me a bonus. Pinnacle had a nice promotional ad here that appealed to me. I called and spoke to this guy, Allie (respectable by all accounts here), but his offer wasn't consistent with what Pinnacle had advertised at this site. In fact, every type Allie explained the promotion to me the terms were different. I decided to pass on Allie's British jive. Instead, I re-uped with Post-Time which had a Thanksgiving special of a ten percent bonus and, as I recall, a free 50 buck parlay. I was planning to use the parlay as a hole card so that when my balance ran low I would get one last chance to restore it a bit. Well, I attempted to use the parlay last weekend as my balance (following one more re-up and some transfers to other books) was finally running low. The parlay was gone because, as one manager explained, it was only good for the life of the promotion. He compared it to airline miles that expire. Well, I beg to disagree. Nobody ever told me that the "free" parlay would expire and think Post-time had an obligation to do this. Thus, I strongly agree with Johnny that the deal is to get the money and worry about the consequences of the marketing devices latter. To balance my complaint, I should add that Post-Time is an excellent book, abeit a bit boring with clone lines and few props, in that it pays timely and can be reached quickly even at crunch time. I just think that when they make offers they should be good for the life of the account unless the bettor is informed otherwise. It certainly didn't kill me to lose the 50 buck parlay, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
