Clip, just back up what you're saying with facts is all.
To say Pinbet pulled their ad becuase of BOS is nothing short of speculation without proof.
BOS flips 25 MIL to sponosr a NEXTEL car. Why don't you write the beneficiary of that deal to express your concerns of potential new players if you're so serious about your little crusade?
Do you even know the real truth behind the 500k? nope. Clip don't know.
Here is the problem Rob...I do know. I think that is what usually rubs you guys (mods) the wrong way. You take it as me boasting or trying to show you guys up when the reality is, I am just sharing information.
If I have questions or come to my own conclusions, I make that known. For some reason, my views and opinions ruffle more feathers than others and I take that as a compliment. I don't hold personal grudges against any of the mods.
As far as Nextel (or many of the print ads BOS purchases), I don't look at Nextel as a group that claims to be concerned for the players of this industry. If they did claim to settle disputes and had a forum to share this type of information, I would be there.
The only other site/forum that I know of that allows crooked books to advertise is Major and I wouldn't even waste my time there. I only post here, SBR, Covers, and EOG. Until just recently, I only posted here. I guess that is why I was so bent when they took on BOS...and not just took them on, listed them as #1 everywhere on the site where sportsbooks are promoted.
I like you Rob. You and Journey were and still are my favorite mods. I am not sure when we took a turn for the worse (I think it was when I saw you say Eve had a sexy body...lol).
I like TheRX forum and posters too...my grudge and bitterness is towards the higher ups that allow books with debts to advertise. They shouldn't have that outlet until their debts are paid. And while I feel 99% sure that every poster that deposits with BOS will be fine, that doesn't erase the debt they should be paying with the money they are using to buy more advertising space.
There are a couple guys that know who I am on here and they email me occassionally with a chuckle (or a pissed off email telling me to shut up) and even they give me shit and say I sometimes say too much on here. I guess there are certain things that should stay behind closed doors and I need to work on not sharing too much info.
Sometimes I pull a "Fishhead" and ask a question I already know the answer to. I do these things to try and spark debates and good conversation on the site. I would think that is what you guys would want on a forum.
If you guys prefer I just post blah topics and become a "yes man" like a majority of posters, I can play that role too. I just love talking about sports. Unfortunately, there are constantly things going on in this industry that rub me the wrong way and I get passionate about what I know and also what I believe...but I will try and tone it down and keep my mouth shut.
