Should an offshore book be allowed ownership of a watchdog site?

[IDENTITY]

Is there anythign wrong with a book being a part owner of a watchdog site? i think not as long as it's disclosed.

you suck always

ID, do you think there might be any forum owners who also have a financial interest in a sportsbook?

 

[kidslick]

id i think this is a good thread


it would be best served in the offshore forum to have more view's and responses. also i brought up a thread earlier would it be acceptable for a person, who talks highly about a sportsbook or poker site to get referrals?? (ex -would be fishhead promoting dolyesroom site ,which many people have joined) whould it be fair for a moderator or a person who posts here at the rx to get a referral???

(fishhead has stated he never recieved a referral...fwiw) i think that would be a good debate.

moderators - why was this moved to the RR? isn't this directly related to offshore gambling? lol

How so?! Can you give me an example?


Thats the most rediculous thing I've heard.

If I own forum XYZ and sportsbook ABC, I put an ad for ABC at my XYZ forum and it's the same size as everyone else's. . .what difference would it make? Can't Robfunk own a book and a forum? cant Robfunk own 2 business's?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

are u serious rob? it's like these books that publish these football magazines and advertise their sites in there as though they are a 3rd party endorsing the books, what a joke...

anyways....it would be wrong for a WATCHDOG site t own a book.....what are they going to do, give themselves a bad rating when they slow pay?

it would be like me owning a home improvement company and at the same time i was president of the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU....wouldn't fly!

 

[RobFunk]

You know what Sherman. You are right. I am thinking of gambling forums. Identity is talking about a watchdog site like SBR.

Yes, IF a business such as SBR owned a book or a group of books that wouldnt be right.

My mistake.

not what i mean.

i aam asking whether a sportsbook, wholly owned by different people who own a posting watchdog forum (isnt the rx a watchdog site), should also be an owner of the watchdog site. thats the issue. can a sportsbook own a watchdog.....gl..
