I heard rumor TheOnlinebet was for sale. Any info?
Thanks
Thanks
Hum, I must say that that is something I did not even think about. I'm starting to make up my mind that the money is lost, but if someone would buy them that could make a major difference. Please keep me posted, thx.
p.s. I have set up an easier to remember url for the site;

Pancho Sanza,
Your point is well taken by an experienced offshore gambler, but most of the people who get the shaft are people who have never heard of The Prescription.com.
Not all are as wise as you my friend.
Maybe not in this case as little Joe explained but most of the time, people do not know any better.

Just got an email from these pigs offering a 10% bonus, 10% back on losses, and 15% bonus on all re-ups...
The email came from a "Dan Wilson" with this addy: marketing@theonlinebet.com

Hi to all,
Just a little update. I have not heard anything from the book, however it seems that they are off securebuxx (could someone who has securebuxx try to add them to see if it works or not?).
Many thanks to all who have supported me, including www.majorbetting.com for a very generous bailout offer (not doing to well - have lost almost half) and www.gamblesravenue.com (doing quite well - multiplied my initial deposit by about 4) for a good bailout offer also. And lately, Buzzdaly for talking about my case in his colum (Don't get mad. Get even).
If you want more info you can check my page describing the situation with the book.
Good luck to all, LJ

Thanks for the feedback Little_Joe. Best of luck to you buddy.
I posted the following on another thread "Active books..." by Patrick McIrish and I think it is also appropriate here...
-----------------------------------------------
I agree bad exposure is necessary, but it is nowhere near sufficient. There are thousands of players here in the same boat regarding rogue sportsbooks and we need to act collectively in a way that makes all these crooks understand that their thievery will not be tolerated.
I am talking about things like jamming their 800 numbers at critical times and hacking their websites. Yes these actions are illegal and unethical but so is stealing and the latter is a more serious crime. When there is no legal system in place to govern the situation, the rules of warfare must come to the forefront.
Just like in war, precautions must be taken before a strike is made. These include making 100% sure that intentional stealing has taken place against a player who has not done anything wrong, and taking steps to resolve the issue peacefully.
The reason it is important to bring a book down after it has cheated is not because we will get our money back this way. It is simply to provide a deterrence to books who want to try such BS in the future. At the moment the message is: scam your players and you will have people talking about it on the forums, but that's it, and since there's a sucker born every minute you'll still get money coming in and you'll be able to laugh it off. The message needs to be: scam your players and you will GO DOWN, period.
What I recommend is to have an official list called the "Axis of Evil" of books who have knowingly scammed honest players for thousands of dollars and are still taking post-ups. Their wagering numbers should be made public and during the last hour or so before 1:00 pm kickoff each Sunday of NFL season we should be ringing these numbers off the hook and trying to engage the clerks for as long as possible by asking questions, giving fake account numbers, saying "I had my password somewhere, just a second" etc.
This will really do some nice damage since the books do a disproportionately huge percentage of their transactions during that short time interval.
Talking about it is good but it is really not enough. I appeal to everyone's sense of justice to follow through with what I suggested. I will certainly do it not just for the books that scammed me, but for all the books who have blatantly stolen and where guilt is obvious.
I realize that what I am suggesting is a bit strong, but it is hard to imagine anything more effective that requires such little effort. If anyone has other suggestions or thinks that what I am saying is inappropriate in any way, please state your reservations and let's discuss it.
