the problem i see here, is the sportsbook is acting like the hurt little puppies here, whereas they have all the advantages....
first off, no book should be able to get stiffed, unless they want to....simply don't credit money into the account until it is cleared...do not take checks, unless cleared, and do not release western union funds until the funds are picked up....
second, we have to give you all of our personal info, while we get NONE of yours.....
and that is exactly what it is, PERSONAL INFO...
that should not be released on an internet forum for everyone, including 6 fred's to see...
if that is the fair way to do it, then anytime any of us send funds offshore, we should be given the names, addresses, and home phone numbers, of all people working at the book at that time....that way if we feel we have a slow pay or no pay, we can post all of your personal info on here.....SOUND FAIR?
i dont condone someone cheating a book either, in the instance where the guy alerted bhb about the mistake, i would have done exactly the same...i have notified books about bad lines before....because i want the same courtesy in the reverse situation.....
but to reveal personal info on the net like that is way out of bounds......
one thing has still never been explained....
HOW DOES A PLAYER STIFF THE BOOK?
(at a non-credit shop)
and was this bad press worth the 600.00?
i mean i know for sure i wouldnt want to play at easy-bets....although i wouldnt stiff any book, like i said, it shouldnt be possible, i wouldnt want to play at a book who would want to spread my name and personal info everywhere, if they got mad at me for some reason....
and i must be honest, while bhb is my favorite book right now, and has ALWAYS TREATED ME WELL, it bothers me that they condoned this posting of personal info on the forum....
