BHB would rather lose 10k then keep their banners up on Majors site. MW site is a scam...

Fair enough, Scott....like I said, your motives/intentions were honorable. And if Rio/Skybook is proven to be sound, you will benefit from this situation. I am the wrong person to say this since I have learned it the hard way myself, but discretion is truly the better part of valor. Good luck, and quit the cold calling!

Halifax should be embarrassed.

For some reason the top books in the industry advertise at MW,

I guess bookie in a box has a better feel for what's going on than the proprietors of

Canbet
WSEX
Olympic
Bowmans
Intertops

I think if you add up the longevity and online experience operating under the same name of these books, it would add up to more than every book at the top of this page, TIMES 2.


Most new businesses look to emulate and improve upon already successful ideas.

People please.....please see this for what it is....a CHEAP ADVERTISING PLAY! Would this small time wanna be bookie be doing this if everyone wouldnt have jump on the rio band wagon? Rio stands up to MW and now this small timer wants to ride the coat tails!

You say you got 8 players....well that should almost double your business

BHB now serving almost 15 players. lol. You guys should open your own book with all your knowledge. Maybe you can operate in Panama. Oh wait...

Maybe you could hire hundreds of people to facilitate your 15 players, oh wait....

maybe you would have enough capitol to say "keep the 10k, i just want off of your site", oh wait...... you cant do any of those things.

Yes, Rio are my friends. Yes their money is good. yes. good books do advertise on MW. and yes. most of them are just there to be there. not because they have to be but because they dont care about wasting the money. yes. it is a waste.

in all honesty most are. they really really are.

we also advertise with bettorsworld and have had next to no signups. But i stay with them because they havent given me any other reason to leave.

If they were to take shots at my friends, i would leave them too.

I dont know why, but the rx really is a valuable site. We open hundreds of accounts from here 2 years strong now.

We arent leaving MW only becasue of the lack of signups, it took the situation with rio to make up my mind. had that not happened i would have stayed all year with them. just wouldnt have re uped for next year.

now i just want to make a point, even if it costs 10k.

Yes, but how many of those accounts are multiple accounts, and how many does Sick G have?

I don't get in the advertising end here so not aware of what the policies are but I don't think Russ should keep their money. If he is insistant on not returning it then at least keep the banners up. Again, I don't know the rules of all this stuff and maybe Russ is justified but I personally wouldn't want someone's money whom I'm not providing a service to. To take them down and take a years worth of advertising fees from a book seems harsh. I understand if the book has asked to be taken down but if they do and feel strongly then I would just return their money.

Overall I think BHB may have had good intentions but didn't think it through all the way. They know the thing about Rio isn't true and wanted to show some support for their buddies, I can respect that. I even spoke with Russ and I think he feels strongly but in no way will I sit here and believe Rio is in any trouble whatsoever. Is it a coincidence that they stopped advertising over there two years and thats when the attacks started? I don't know, Russ says it is. But I do know Rio is as good as anyone out there in my view. They have been around and have a proven track record. Just my 02 cents.

As for the actual situation itself I only know what I have read over here which is half of the sotry. That makes me in no position to judge. find it hard to believe anyone would pay a year in advance without some kind of guarantee.

I have always operated under the premise that the customer is always right. I sell subscriptions, books, software, and advertising.

I have offered a money-back guarantee to all our customers. If you're not happy with what you paid for, I'll make it right, or refund all or a prorated part of your money.

An advertiser, in my mind, is a customer just like any other. You don't feel you received value from the deal? I'll give you more exposures, extend your time on the site, or refund some or all the money.

It helps me sleep at night.

BHB: I got to say this, if you worked for me your ass would be in the street. Your making your book look horrible, you have offended everyone in this joint. We all know Roy is your boy, and you need to stick up for your friends. I applaud you for your loyalty, but you just threw your book under the bus. Im sure all the Hollywood superstars, that you bragged about being your investors, are loving this. Maybe you should send Paulie Shore up to Canada to take out Russy. Everyone knows Roy is one of the biggest bettors in the industry, he might owe a few bucks around town, but believe me when i tell you, he is in a clique, that takes care of there own. Rio/ Skybook will still be a top 10 book and BHB will always be a bottom 100 book. All you did was do damage to your book today, no one in this popstand plays with you, so why grandstand in here. STUPIDITY AT ITS FINEST!!!

BHB,

Whatever points you are making by pulling out of MW you are losing with your discussion of the "stand-up" or "right thing" arguments. You paid for a year in advance and received a discount for doing so. You proved you are not a good business manager by not having a signed agreement and you expect people to send their hard earned cash to a place they likely can not find, to a person they do not know who admits managing his business in a loose manner. NOT GOOD -- quit while you are behind, it will only get worse.

LOW CLASS MOVE.

SOUR GRAPES.

Just tell them to take down the banners, you already said you don't want the money.

No need to let the world know how crappy their site is by publishing results.

You guys sound like a bitter ex-spouse.

Now go make some more "pay-a-year-in-advance" advertising deals with your players post up money.

jezzz
