i just got off the phone with eric at global wager and must tell you that this guy is absolute scum. i really feel that even if there was no bullshit about this race that global wager would'nt pay anyway. they probably could'nt afford to lose that kind of money and figured lets just use this excuse to get out of paying. i quickly asked him if he had credited my acct. yet and he said "i told you 3 times, no!!!!! click..... and thats how much class they have,i cant even get my deposit back let alone try to reason with them. i talked to mr. nate evans at payoffs plus and at first he had said that they wer'nt paying. then he said he would credit my acct. if i rolled my balance over 10 times ya 10 times. i'll play by his rules. he was thinking that this was a hit and run, but im game and i'll put it on the line.its not right but ......i spoke with robert at bet us-omni, and he said he put the balance i had before the race in my acct. but not yet any horse winnings. i asked why and the reply was "we know there was no wrong doing with the race but you still manipulated the pools. this guy will say anything to get out of paying this.i also called triple crown race book twice today and tried to talk to david ,whom i still not talkrd to,and they told me once that he was out of the office and the other time he would call me me back in one hour. i have yet to hear from him. being a race book you would think that this would be no problem for them .i talked to wilson at oasis he very casually told me were not paying you basically because we are already on the no pay list. my reply was because i went on the rx and said my case that you were'nt paying your now stiffing me. and he said ya, thats how i would say it. this guy tries to be nice when he's f..ing you. now thats a nice guy. i stongly suggest that nobody be tricked by this snake in the grass by his sweet ass bullshit. i would also suggest never sending money to wilson or oasis.im taking a break to eat dinner and will finish later.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Good job on the race. Congrats on your win, and if you can make a score like that you must be a smart guy who knows when he has a huge edge. The area where I believe you guys erred was in your overwhelming greed in this situation. I personally have had "steam" horses that i have profited nicely off of. I, however, was smart enough to not assume that every off shore book would pay out when I played these "steam" horses. In your greed to get down all you could, you made one astronomical mistake--not playing your horse with established books that you know will pay. when i played steam horses, i played them at the spots that i knew would pay, (like rio) , no matter how bitter they were. In life sometimes, it is quality over quantity. You can go ahead and lash out at the books who didn't pay, but jesus christ, you certainly played with a lot of fringe books that a lot of people barely know about. This is analagous to someone going out and walking into a sportsbook in North Vegas and asking them if they take 100k on the super bowl. They of course, say yes, and then after the game is over, the doors are closed. Perhaps you guys didn't get burned by Aces Gold, but we all certainly did. Bottom line, if you would have simply played your horses with all of the BIG BOYS, you wouldn't be in this predicament. Bottom line, you can bitch about these books until you are blue in the face, and in all likelihood, it is not shame on them, but shame on you. How can you possibly assume that way 40 sportsbooks are going to react to the sound beating that you administered? RIO, and many others paid, and you should be thankful for that. In the future, perhaps you guys will take another approach when betting steam horses. When I used to move steam, we would "massage" the account with some square chalk bets for a couple of months, and then get set for the kill. Posting up 24 hours before the race with myriad books and then hoping they will all do the right thing IMO is downright amateur.
