Which sportsbooks other than Directbet has instant payouts? Only asking because that's the most important thing for me, I saw some of the complaints in this section where some people had to wait upwards of 24 hours after initiating the withdrawal and this is not acceptable to me at all. Also, I don't see why Directbet is still stuck on 'C', I don't think these ratings are accurate, to me they seem bias, no offense. A Poll should have been really useful in determining the real results because it seems even after inputs from various members some of the sportsbooks are wrongly rated.
It's well known that Peeps Place is highly biased against DirectBet. This stems back to last year, if you check the old thread you will see that basically DirectBet accused Peeps of lowering their rating as DirectBet refused to pay Peeps for advertising.
Pretty simple stuff and very plausible. As you and others have mentioned, there's no reason for DB to still be a C category book.
DirectBet was a fairly new book unhappy with their rating. They spammed and shilled daily which caused the closing of the original thread.
The only rule for books was to keep their conversation to their own book. DirectBet refused to do this. DirectBet falsely claimed that Anonibet scammed posters in 4 different contests.
Now that DirectBet has become civilized, they no longer send in shills with false claims against other books.
If DirectBet can figure out a way to insure immediate confirmation of bets, then the rating will be raised. As of this time the possibility exists that a player may not get a confirmation/rejection of a bet in an acceptable time period.
