SPORTS BOOKS THAT ARE STRUGGLING...

[DarrylParsons]

For the sake of argument, let's suppose that 3 days is indeed a slow pay. The question then arises: Does a slow pay deserve a blanket statement like: "be careful with this book" BEFORE the facts of the slow pay are ascertained, or does it deserve a simple mention that xyz is getting slow paid by sportsbook abc and nothing more?

I call upon the General here to answer the question in light of his experience in handling slow pays...is this the usual manner in which slow pay situations are handled, or is it not? I think everyone already knows the answer to this.

I have been gone forever but it never seems to change. Nothing against V Wager or any other book mentioned, but when the competition for gamblers is so high ANY controversey can kill.

But it is the same old thing, why play with books in CR? Pinnacle and Canbet(even tho they have shitty lines sometimes) are the tops. I have been with both for about 5 years, and have never ever had a problem with money. Even way back when, when people were talking about Pin and their financial problems, they survived a run and are now considered a concensus best in the business. And that incident is all but forgotten by everyone.

Bottomline getting paid is paramount. Waiting to get paid is a pain for sure, but if you get paid so be it.

As long as these places survive until football all will be well. Then all the "full time" bettors get paid by all the football warriors who sign up basically knowing they will go broke.

Many of us believe that it is indeed too slow.

If you do not, then all you are doing is lowering the bar for yourself.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't waste my time with Neteller. I hate it! I don't see the big deal about 3 days. He got paid on his first request immediately so it isn't like he was waiting for the money in dire straits & being left sitting around with nothing.

EGD,
Agreed there is a world of difference between a once in a blue moon 3 day pay, and a constantly slow pay book.

Just like a book taking it to a known scammer is an unfair indication of what 99.9% of the other punters experience.

btw - What dep method do you use? WU?

Yes, I use Western Union. I rather deal with straight up cash instead of electronic transfers. Plus it is easier for me for a few different reasons

The MAJOR question is this...why wasn't APEX slow pay reported on this forum? This is a VERIFIED slow pay, yet no mention here. Seems only "ex-adverisers" get raked over the coals

Hell, when a poster questioned RIO, he was bashed and the thread was then sent to the RR. Nevermind if he was a scammer or not, I'm sure someone could have dug up some shit about SUV's and satelite dishes.

 

[wilheim]

Apex problems were discussed, and actually are still fairly current in this thread from the top of page two.

The Rio thread stayed offshore for 2 days and was moved only after the original poster got himself banned for repeated juvinile attacks against anyone who did not agree with him. It is still in the Rubber Room.

wow...didnt have the energy to read all this...what a shame that the forums are used for such mudslinging

...

not sure if it is a coincidence or not but I seem to remember that when SPORTBET decided to not advertise here anymore there were some insinuations made my the SHRINK that they were not exactly safe?...maybe they weren't or aren't?

it is of course possible that when a Book decides to no longer advertise at the RX, that the RX fires back with 'allegations'?

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO REMEMBER, RX IS A BUSINESS, A BUSINESS THAT COLLECTS ADVERTISING DOLLARS, THEY ARE NOT NEUTRAL, THEY ARE NOT A WATCHDOG & THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDENTIALS AS SUCH... TAKE THIS FORUM FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH..A FORUM...

THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR ALL THOSE OTHER SUPPOSED WATCHDOG SITES....$$$ IS THE ONLY THING THAT TALKS... THE ONLY INFORMATION THAT IS WORTHWHILE IS THE REPORTS FROM COMMON POSTERS/PLAYERS.

when I post a review on a sportsbook as I have done a few times...I now ask that all 'SPECULATORS' stay out of my threads...so much 'SPECULATION' goes on here. There is not one player in this 11 page thread that has come forward to say they have been slow or no paid...that is all that matters...EVERY BOOK IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THEIR LAST PAYMENT... All we have is FISH grasping at straws to show that there is in fact one example of a slow pay...

SHRINK, posting that email that was sent to you by without disclosing the entire context means nothing...it is pure speculation...Also think about it, if it is true that they were spending too much money on advertising does it not stand to reason that they are pulling some out to reduce costs? what is suspicious about that?

What is suspicious of raising a bonus from 10% to 20%...especially if you are pulling advertising costs? Nothing...thats what... TONS of reputable books offer 20%...

Anyway, maybe V-Wager is in real trouble...who knows... but when I hear reports from actual players about actual stiffs....then I DONT REALLY CARE.... but bashing in this thread a company that has been an advertiser for so long is irresponsible, unprofessional & quite frankly disgusting... whats worse is when the MODS come in to help with the battle...

 

[SportSavant]

This was similar back in the day when I first joined the RX, as I was having a SLOW pay problem from SIA...

Tons & Tons of posters claimed that they are a stiff book that stiffs right & left....& although TONS of evidence came forward that they are a notorious SLOW pay book NOT ONE gambler/poster came forward stating that they had been stiffed... All those saying they were a NO pay book were only speculating & the facts remain that although SIA has probably the worst customer serivice in the Business...THEY DO PAY...

 

[Fishhead]

THE ONLY INFORMATION THAT IS WORTHWHILE IS THE REPORTS FROM COMMON POSTERS/PLAYERS....SPORTSSAVANT

That is me, and if you think that any of this has to do with me working for the RX as a MOD.........you are 100% mistaken.

 

[SportSavant]

fish I do not, I also have tremendous respect for you...

HOWEVER,

I find this post/thread terribly irresponsible, especially without a SHRED OF EVIDENCE, of any player getting stiffed as of yet...

Also seems like a strange coincidence that when Books decide to pull the plug on advertising here, they seem to get bad mouthed some of those associated with RX... Forgive me if I am wrong, did this not happen with JAKE at sportsbet...when he left?

 

[PeteRoseJR]

SPORTSSAVANT,


Sports Interaction is a shi*ty book.........end of story.

Apart from having your limits lowered (which nobody would be happy about), have you ever been SLow Paid/No Paid by this book?

Do you know of ANY player that has been stiffed completely?

Are there NUMEROUS examples of SLOW plays or is it few & far between?

This is all that counts...all this other BS about advertising etc etc, cant help but to make me feel that the agenda is that the RX is not happy that they are not gonna get a 3500$ check from V Wager anymore every month.... or whatever it was....

I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG, BUT, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ HERE, this is the only conclusion that I can draw thus far....

If there is more evidence Bring it on & I can easily be convinced otherwise, in the meantime I think THAT THIS THREAD IS EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE BY THE SHRINK & NOT FAIR TO V-WAGER....

ADVERTISING DISAGREEMENTS OR SLOW PAYS SHOULD BE KEPT OUTSIDE THIS FORUM ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL...IMHO
