Open letter to RX readers from RIO/SKYBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bhbookie]

ya Rio, stop cold calling.

As some of you know I worked for Rio for more than 4 years. Although I dont know much, I do know a lot of people in this wonderful business of ours. Not one of them has expressed any concern about Rio/Skybooks finances. I dont know anyone they owe money to, and feel like the major is just trying to get back at rio because they arent advertising there anymore.

Bottom line. The next time MW posts against Rio for some bullsh*t, BHB will request a pro rated refund for what we paid them for the year. I dont want to be associated with a site that will turn their back on me if I stop paying them.

mark my words

That is a very commendable Sir.

 

[FunkSoulBrother]

That would be a class move, Scott

 

[bhbookie]

100%. If I see a post that they make after today against Rio, I am asking for a refund for the rest of the year. Period.

If Rio paid them they wouldnt have a thing to say. They are just trying to extort Rio.

FO Shizzle My Nizzle!

 

[bhbookie]

Matter of fact, why wait. Their agenda is so blatent.

Some one please post the following in the MW forums. I would but I have never posted there myself.

MW - Please refund the remaining balance of my annual payment to your site. We made payment at the beginning of august for 12 months. Please pro rate my refund based on 2.5 months of exposure. Thanks.

BEVERLY HILLS BOOKIE HAS OBVIOUSLY GOT SOME BALLS. IT IS GOOD TO SEE THAT BHB HAS STOOD UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT PEOPLE STAND UP TO GUYS LIKE RUSS INSTEAD OF ADVERTISING THERE ONLY OUT OF FEAR OF WHAT HE MIGHT SAY. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO ADVERTISE THERE ONLY DO SO OUT OF FEAR OF HIS LIES. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACKS. I THINK THAT ONLY TWO BOOKS STOOD UP TO THE ATTACKERS WITHOUT PAYING-RIO AND HOLLYWOOD. MORE BOOKS SHOULD DO THE SAME WITH MAJOR WAGER. BHB, KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR FINE OUTFIT. I JUST WISH I COULD WIN A BET THERE.

 

[Francesalbert]

Scott why does BHB advertise on Major wager? Do you guys not know you will be next in line especially now if you choose to stop advertising there?

I think the Major's thread about Rio should be reported to all of their advertisers. It will be in their best interest.

The title will be

Are you next? This is what happens when you do business with 2nd class thugs.

I posted this at MW but have not gotten a response.

[Fishhead]

Dont see it over there.

 

[TheGeneral+]

I think all of the MW advertisers will see this. The problem may lie in the fact that some will overlook or are friends, but there is no question that this event is one of the alltime lows as Major has stooped to a low of the lowest levels trying to harm a sportsbook by lying about its financial security in front of the forum.

 

[BeverlyHillsBookie.com]

Strut,

I posted it in the thread he started about Rio.

Balls? Standing up for what they believe in? Who wants a bridge?

I might agree if they weren't demanding the premium first few months of football discounted at the pro-rated annual rate.

I guess they weren't offended the last time Russ slammed/warned about RIO in August. This time, since it was October, suddenly they were so offended their morals just seized control of them.

I think it is trashy what the Major is doing if all these accusations are not true, but General how is this any different then what the Shrink did with E-Winner? He said they were broke, but they are still up and paying from what I have seen. Please explain. Thanks.

BTW, good job BHB for sticking up for another book.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Posted by Rio Management:
In other words, he (Major) makes you think that if you don't re-up with him, that he will badmouth you and ruin your company. We at Rio/Skybook were intimidated at first, but knew that this individual had to be stopped in his denial of service types of attacks that extort sportsbooks <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Rio-
I certainly don't know the details of your conversations with Major, but the term denial of service has a very specific meaning. Badmouthing is one thing, and people can always consider the source.

However, denial of service implies an active effort to disrupt services to your business. Could you please be specific as to this incendiary charge?

 

[TheGeneral+]

There was no agenda against Ewinner. There was a stiffing of a player. Ken was maybe misinformed by an insider and posted trusting what he was told. Ewinner was an advertiser of this site. The persons losing money were the players and ken. Not an ex-advertiser who would not renew. I can see the point, but more so I can see the difference.

 

[nets2k2]

Thanks for answering General. Did Shrink ever retract his statement about E-Winner being broke? I don't think I ever saw that.

 

[TheGeneral+]

I do not remember seeing a retraction from ken. After Ewinner made it clear that they would be stiffing the players I lost track. At that time, there is really nothing more to ponder.

 

[Socrates]

Firgues, major banned me for telling the truth about the place and has always done this. he has been bullying around adertisers for a logn while but no body has the balls to call him on it. Good for you rio and bhb.
