I have an account there but my money mostly sits and waits. They used to have a 10 cent line in football and were very slow to move their numbers.

Now it's 20 cents or more in all US sports. Hard to find any good lines like that.

They improved their site quite a bit. I like it. Just wish I could use it more often.

After having to hound and hound them for 2 weeks for a 10 dime payout last year Bet&Win retaliated by writing the Knox County (Tenn) judge and informing him I was betting on the internet.

As it happens the judge and I went to UT together and had quite a laugh about it.

Still, at least back then, this outfit was run by ... well, you might know the word I'm thinking ...

I thought that the Austrian government would be valuable if there ever was a dispute. I got slow payed once, too. 3-4 weeks and ran around with picture id faxes,etc.

On top of that they had a $300 limit and the european time zone makes it hard to communicate with them. When they get a certain dollar amount on a game they just stop taking bets on that side. Those all add up to frustration for the player. But, maybe things have changed in the last year.

well, certainly other Austrian options anyway
