Is everything going to SHIT lately (5 year old thread) ?

[deucedeuce]

Greek wants ID

SIA wants SSN

why would anybody need a SSN, i dont know if i would give that out. There is no earthly reason they would need that, maybe if they asked for the final four digits but i wouldn't give out my ssn for any reason

Wow the glass is half-empty in this thread!

ADDING:

From tow:

BetCRIS.com, DSI, Guardian Guaranty, Tradewinds and many other Web sites went offline Wednesday night when U.S. Law enforcement shut down D.S. servers.

BetCRIS is now back online, however many others are still offline.
This is the first time a service provider and web designers are indicted in an illegal gambling bust by U.S. authorities.
Operators are reportedly working around the clock to find new providers. However the blackout may last a few days, probably a couple of weeks for smaller operations.

I´m seeing good things. The Exchanges are the best thing ever happened in gambling. Learn to use them and make offers. Very easy. Betfair, Mansion and Matchbook. You money is safe and the prices are better.

Why are they safer than other books? Your still trusting illegal operators(if you live in US) with your money.

Safer in that they are financially very stable.

I guess the Sportsbook situation qualifies under "things going to SHIT" !

not looking much better lately.

depends on attitude

Which is very puzzling .......The Democrats who we all know LOVE THE PEOPLE and are HUGE supporters of internet gambling have been in power for 2 years now and yet NOT 1 BILL to legalize ANY FORM OF GAMBLING WHATSOEVER has been introduced....I just dont understand it. They got us out of Iraq in 90 days just like they said they would, they repealed ALL of GWB tax cuts JUST LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD...They've turned around the ECONOMY JUST LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD but yet..........NO internet gambling. So weird......If i didnt know better i might even think the Democrats are liars who say ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED then DO NOTHING once their in...
hmmmmmm like i said, VERY weird..

I 1,000,000% agree with you on this.

 

[TTinCO]

Doug, get yourself on some anti depressants.

Funny that Mods are the only ones that think is all is well ?

Those look OK, but a lot of sponsor books are missing from the list. I'm not familiar with Looselines, but have used everyone of those except VV, and maybe las palmas ( I don't recall).

This has absolutely nothing to do with being a mod. Never has either, you should know me better than that Doug. I am not trying to sell anything to anyone.

I still play mainly offshore (close to 80% of my plays are there).

I think whatever someone decides to do in life they better go about it as hard as they can and have the best attitude while attempting it if they want too be successfull at it. So I better have a great attitude with this.

It could be better sure, everything can better in life. It could be 3 years ago but it also could be 15 years ago. Talk about a scary shitty time.

This I what I chose to do for a living right now and I love it. I have done things a lot less enjoyable in my life. Heck, it could be way worse and I could have got into the stock market, talk about shit, now that is going to shit.

All I am saying is I have done fairly well since this thread first came out, so I simply dont agree with it. Now I am sure I probably would have done even better if somethings didnt happen but they did and I made some adjustments and moved on.

If everything came to a complete stop tomorrow I would walk away from all this very very happy on how the past few years have went.

Things ain't getting any better, guys !
