I waded through that whole initial thread and in reading wsexsteve's first reaction he was being deceitful. He may have adjusted his statement later to say they *tried* to cancel the bets but couldn't, but if I am not mistaken he only corrected himself after Revere posted the record showing that the bets were cancelled officially about 3 hours after the game ended.
Personally, I find all this muckraking about Revere somewhat offensive. How is any of his personal information about whatever outside shady dealings he has relevant to the issue of whether his bets are valid? It isn't. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that people are now trying to make Revere look as bad as possible to gain sympathy for WSEX. I hope that isn't the case but that is my initial reaction after reading many of these posts.
I should say that I have used WSEX in the past and I have always found them to be a superb book, but they really should pay Revere and then wash their hands of it. I mean, why are they even worried whether Revere can get paid via Neteller? What does that have to do with this issue? Why not just credit his WSEX account for his win and then let him worry about getting his money.
