has anyone done this w any of these books? i have money coming to me from bodog which they are transferring via western union and im unsure of how to actually collect it? i know most of the grocery stores near me have a little western union desk but will they be able to pay out the transfer there if its over 1500? how does this work? thx

Hey naught. Did you check out your other thread.

using western union for payout?

Just go ahead and do it. Bodog will give you the details on what you need to do. Ask the WU place what kind of transactions they can handle before you go through with it. All WU spots are different. Some have a 1k max or something.

Check it out with bodog and your local WU. They can give you a better understanding because all WU spots are pretty much different on paying.

yeah man bodog was supposed to send me a check via courier but 2 weeks later they called me and told me that was no longer an option for payout so i either had to wait about another 3 weeks for a check in rthe mail or could do western union money transfer which was faster....they made the transfer and i have all the info just dont know where to go to get it done, prob gonna call western unino and have them give me more info on where the best place near me to get the payout is, thanks

Yeah, alot of check processors are very limited for most sportsbooks right now. Alot of the check issuers either stopped doing business altogether or put a strict policy of only a few sent a day.

This would definitely affect Bodog because of thier huge US clientel.

Just see what WU in your area can make that transaction and you'll be fine...

I'm suprised to see you cashing out with the Tourney coming up as well as Bases. If I remember correctly, you kicked balls last year in Bases.

Hi Naught

You need to have a transfer control number from sender , if you have this number you just go in Western Union and require your money ...it's not problem

Bank wires are the easiest and fastest methods of payouts right now. I highly suggest if you can, do so...

WU and Fed-Ex checks are also popular right now...

I've heard alot of books have been slower than normal in paying recently, but things are starting to be worked out and stabilize a little more and more as time goes on at some places, which is a very good sign....
