Beginning the ActionBet Quest
My money from Pinnacle and the Crypto sites I cashed out of was all in my Neteller when I got home from work yesterday - so under 24 hours for anyone who was curious. I put $2,000 into Actionbets yesterday evening after dinner.
Does any one else get that little sick feeling in their stomach when they first put money into a site and then things don't go as you expect? I made my deposit last night, and my posted balance at Actionbets didn't change, even though I got a screen saying my deposit was approved. (It also said Neteller made $78 from that transaction, which makes me want to buy stock in Neteller!) I checked my Neteller account, and I was charged $2,000, but ny balance at Actionbets remained $0. I refreshed a few times, but that little voice in my head starts saying, "It finally happened, you got swindled. They took your money and you'll never see it again, etc...". I called Actionbets and the CS was great, he expalined that they have a short delay in crediting via their automated systems as a protection against other depositing methods, but since I was using Neteller, he would manually credit my account immediately - which he did. Then he credited my $300 bonus as well. Everything was fine, and my paranoia went back into hiding for now!
I had a choice between $300 at 3X rollover and $500 at 6X rollover. I don't have the 6X rollover in Pinnacle, so I had to go with the $300 bonus. Better safe than sorry.
Actionbets also has a free $21 bet they give all new accounts - no deposit required. You have to roll it over 10X, and the max cashout is $100, but it's absolutely free. Even if you have no interest in sports betting, you gotta like free-rolling! My grand plan is to arb it. If the free money grows to $100, I'll have to revise my approach - likely switiching over to straight betting to see if i can pick a few winners.
