Sports InterAction

Anyone else frustrated with their low minimums? I tried today to play a 3-team parlay for $60 and the system came back and said $20 was the maximum! Is this outfit nickel-dime?

[walleyek]

Sorry. I meant to say low maximums.

Is SportsInteraction the sportsbook that is located in Canada? If so, has anyone had any experience with them on the internet. Thanks for any response in advance.

Beachboy, this is the same outfit located Canada on the Mohawk Indian Reservation. No experience with them though.

Interesting. Which reservation are they on Sting?

I've been with this book for a year and a half and am very satisfied. Never a problem with payment, and their lines are good for the anti public player. They do have low limits though, so if you are a big puncher, they cannot be your primary book, just a secondary out, and for middling.

Hartley, the one in Quebec.

OKA?

I, like Guesser, have been using SIA for over a year and a half. I have NEVER had a problem with them. They had some server problems last December, and I recently read a negative post about them disputing a win for a reputable poster. They did honor his bet, but he says he had to threaten them to collect. This was the first complaint I ever heard that I didn't regard as complete BS nonsense. I am a small bettor, so such things don't worry me, but they may be cause for reservations from bigger bettors.

I really like the ability to parlay ANY bets together at their compounded odds( they are the only place I know about that does this ). So you could parlay Tiger to win with Sampras to win with the Jets, and the Bulls etc. A $5 bet can theoretically win you tens of thousands ( I know they have some upper cap but it is pretty high ). They also have some good lines on props and some other occasional soft lines. For instance their odds on golfers to win ALWAYS seem to be much better than any of my other golf outs ( though these are tough bets to win, as are the huge odds parlays obviously ).

I find it a little amusing that SIA got unfairly criticised so much over their Dec. server outage, but betmaker LOSES several hours of bets and noone is badmouthing them. To me, losing bets is worse than not being up at all. They must have terrible database software if they can't recover those bets, I am in the database field so I know. They are lucky this didn't happen to them on the weekend. I think both problems were handled professionally, with explanations posted here, so they both should be looked on as minor inconveniences and not treated as major reasons for bailing.

Just my 2.2 cents
