I'm sorry Shrink but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. If somebody tells you that you have to sign a waiver in order to receive monies that you worked hard to earn, I beleive that the word forced fits. Alot of the people that were let go have famalies that have to be provide for by them it so oviously that they were going to sign instead of not receive any funds with which to live.
This should not really be a major issue at all .
As both Shrink & Joey C have stated all along if the players get paid and the laid off employees are paid in FULL there is NO issue on hand here.
Obviously the employees who no longer have a job are not going to like it , but with the industry as it is and the time of year ( low season) this is a standard pratice at many outs.
Both Stretch and Dino have always been stand up guys in the past , so whats the big deal with moving and downsizing ?
Answer : ZERO
Just my 2cents

Shrink-
Thanks for the response. Business is business , people are fired and let go all the time in every business. That is part of the cycle. To me there wages being higher or not than the rest of Cr is irrelevant , but I can appreciate the point you were making. Again, provided they were upfront with you, your information should help a lot of people

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> What triggered all this was a combination of factors, but one thing that cannot go unnoticed was the firing of their main marketing man, Robbie.

Diamond Sports did not do this. What it did was take the high road offering all their clerks and other employees compensation when they were terminated. Costa Rica has very strict laws regarding workmen compensation and what employers must follow when they fire an employee.

spive, why are you continually chiming in on a SPECIFIC subject you don't know shit about? YAWN is right......."nevada bm's experiencing growth".....what the F are you talking about? vegas has no heart, any major action hits the streets then offshore. grande, cris, etc. are doing transfers with them, STING was wrong as usual, nobody was stiffed, shorted, etc....THAT IS all you need to be concerned with, and if you have no post up with them, then DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!
someone mentioned the other day in the thread about DSI whether we should be concerned about betpregame too. I have no idea what book owns another book, or who is associated with who and how one affects another, but for some reason I can't log into my betpregame account today...should I be worried about this?

The same thing can be said about your knowledge of certain topics yet you continue to post about things you obviously are clueless about.
You strike me as the type that likes to see their own words in print.

"Thanks Ken for digging up what you can on this. Nice article.
Good hustle!!"
-----------------
Is that all ya got for us, McIrish ?
What's your recommended course of action with DSI and it's affiliated sites ?? Poor Crazy Ivan is practically in tears over his $70 at BetPreGame - he needs some words of wisdom.

Shrink,
You should have titled this thread and article "DSI's version" or something along that line because it ain't the truth.
Employees got the shaft big time by DSI. The following quote below is total garbage.
"Diamond Sports met these legal obligations, or they would not be permitted to do business in Costa Rica. Sure, there will be disgruntled employees who have a right to be upset, but there are other recourses available to them if they are not happy with the manner in which Diamond Sports behaved during the downsizing of its company."

Joey C,
It's a simple question. I believe that was the first post regarding that I made regarding the whole thing too.
If you would like to discuss it with me feel free to e-mail me at bettorstalk@aol.com

Hello,
I usually surf theprescription without posting to read peoples opinion on the baseball, nba matches etc.
But, i have been using DSI for quite a long time, and i can say that they are the most reputable sportsbook available.
Always quick responses to e-mails, withdrawal requests etc..
Great company, and i will not move from them, i trust their every word.
You Go DSI!
