buddyboy · Nov 13, 2003

will this book be offering a bonus? and how much will it be?.. I'll just cash out in 7 days.

also... it had better not be some bullshit matchplay rollover bonus, I want a cash bonus, I mean what do they care? they are going out of business anyway.

he might be talking about blue marlin. today i saw that they had a rating of a "D" and in recently, i saw that they were in consideration for being on their recommended list.

At this point I don't think anyone should speculate on who it "might" be.....simply causes unnecessary problems for some books/

You take a big, big risk when you play CR books with only a very, very few exceptions. I have been preaching this for years now.

BOOKS ARE STARTING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE CREDIT CARD COMPAN IES CLAMPING DOWN (paypal etc). Putting it on a credit card used to be easy. The bets were gonna win of course, the bill was coming in a month.

Well now that actual cash has to be sent in, the bottom line may be hurting.

WEEKENDALKI · Nov 13, 2003

All of this conjecture surrounding imminent sportsbooks demise is a total joke. The bottom line here is that if you have done business with a book for a long time, and they have treated you professionally, you probably have zero to worry about. The things to look for when worrying about a book going under are the warning signs that indicate that any business is in trouble. First of all, are people getting out and out stiffed? In other words, is the book having issues, and making no effort at all to pay back its players. All we have to do is look back at Jazz a little over a year ago. Jazz was 10 million in debt. Their owner, a very honorable man, scratched,` clawed, begged, and borrowed to pay everyone off. Eventually he was back on his feet and better than ever. Why did people not have to worry about him? Because he is a decent guy who vowed to do the right thing. Players should worry if their sportsbook is not paying them, and is showing no good faith to do the right thing. If those factors are not in place, then people should stop worrying. Trying to guess who is going under is totally assinine. The bottom line for people who have money off-shore is that they should keep their balances reasonable, and stay with people who have treated them right. If a book starts to act improperly by either being non-accessible, posting lines that are too good to be true, etc. etc. then start to worry. if nothing weird is going on other than some forum morons stirring up the soup, then sleep well as the only thing you should be worrying about is beating the pointspread this weekend. Good luck.

I am just stating facts. People like you deserve to be stiffed.

TheGeneral+ · Nov 14, 2003

Truthteller should keep issuing the warnings. New posters daily who may think CR is like Hilton Head.

The warnings are proper although as he says, we all know there are good ones as well.

I wonder who...

buddyboy · Nov 14, 2003

holy crap,

I posted that quote from antoher site here as a joke.

I thought for sure everyone would see how retarded it is to say an un-named book in such a such country will go under in 'x' amount of days.

wait a minute.... I'm thinking of a letter... it's an A no wait a U no it is for sure the letter E yes I have it now.

Sometime in the next 3 weeks a book that has the letter E in their name will slow pay a player. I could be wrong and the "E" might be in the players name, or the country the book is in, or the "E" could be in the name of the money service the player is trying to use. Hell the 'E" might even be in the amount of money the player is trying to get.

Any books that are in trouble need to check who is running their store because this year, from what I hear, has been good to the books. It hasn't been a spectactular year but it definitely hasn't been a bad one neither.
