Shrink,

While you are threatening to ban stiffs, how about you start with Patrick McIrish. Do we really have to read his **** "about what everyone should do" while he continues to not pay his debts.

And on topic, nice offer to take care of Pokerking if this isn't worked out.

Logically, Jake should be banned. I have never played at Sportbet and thanks to the candid opinions this forum's members, I never will. This site is great for bringing together the experiences of many different players who all value various things in sportsbooks. It seems almost unanimous here that Jake and his rogue book get a failing grade in every area. Their limits suck, their lines aren't even that great, their customer service personnel is unintelligent and of course, Jake the Snake is a lying crook. I have not been hurt by Jake, nor have I dealt with him in the past. HOWEVER, what if someone stumbles upon this site next week for the very first time and reads a thread about how Jake is "so great with dealing with people's problems on the RX". This individual will trust Jake and his book, perhaps to his detriment. Whether or not Jake is banned from this site makes no difference to me, and I'm sure it makes no difference to the educated members here on RX. BUT, I think the moderators have an obligation to ban Jake in the interest of the gamblers who have yet to stumble upon this site. I realize that the moderators have allegedly been trying to recruit Jake's advertising dollars, but in the long run I think it's smarter and more honest to completely cut bait with Jake and his rogue ways. It's probably better for business too since players who see this site and sign up at Sportbet will get screwed, thus leaving them disheartened with the RX.

Regardless of this outcome, Jake will not be banned. I apologize for even suggesting that. Both Jake and I have spoken and hopefully, there will be some good news to follow shortly...

If nothing else this thread proves the power of this forum. This is a lot of bad press that could have been avoided with simply booting the player, once he rolled over.

If nothing else good comes of this, at least other books will learn about this and not be too hasty to jump the gun on pulling a bonus. Threatening a book about even starting such a thread may carry some clout in disputes.

The player deserves more protection than the book. As I stated earlier I would have completed the rollover real quick, piece of cake with bases.

I do believe Sportbet is a book that would pay, they just fall short of the elite books. I'm sure Jake would like to go back in time, and reverse his initial decision, but it's way too late now !

Fall Short of the Elite Books

Boy that`s the understatement of the yr. This is a 2 bit book, posts very few CFB ML`s OR totals then not till Sat., lines don`t go up till late Mon. And the dumbest bunch of CS people I`ve ever run into. All in all a book to stay away from!! Run of the mill or worse.

Pokerking says he wouldnt waste his time on $250 plays but yet begged and pleaded on every known forum trying to sell a $400 ticket to Aruba last month.

Funny fvcking stuff :finger:


Jake dont give in to this clown. It cannot undue all the bad press if you pay him now.

Frankie,

I had a flight for 2 and my girlfriend couldn't go. You're just being stupid. I mentioned it once. Please show me the thread where I begged and pleaded.
I was doing it for my girlfriend since I told her I'd give her the money for her ticket if she couldn't go.
