Who has an active account at BHB?

[Jazz]

To answer the original question, I've never had an account at BHB.

But, if I did belong to a book that was down THIS long due to DDoS attacks, they probably would see my skeedaddling out right after they came back up. Why? Because I'd have no confidence that there wouldn't be a second down-time just as long, assuming it would be hacker-driven. In other words, the response time involved here simply is of such a long nature compared to other books under similar attack that I would not want to risk it again. But then, I happen to be one of those who vastly prefer to place bets online rather than the phone, and though of COURSE I'm certainly not referring to BHB here since I don't have an acct there, I simply don't wish to risk having a line just happen to change when I called in to get it. If I have to call, then I don't play - but of course that is not what a lot of people prefer.

p.s. this isn't anti-BHB at all - this is simple common sense - BHB or whomever runs their computers had more than ample time from seeing other books get attacked in the past few months to be proactive and prevent it. If this is a question of the basic infrastructure having to be changed, then it should have been done as a preventive measure weeks ago in stages that wouldn't result in such a long down-time.

Jazz - I see your point. And it is valid.

Please consider this - Some (if not all) sites that were back up and running (quicker that we are) have had multiple intermittant problems. Site being up, then down, then up, then down. etc.

We are taking our time, and trying to resolve the problem once and for all.

Once we are back up, its unlikely this issue will be revisited. ever.

i for one hope this books stays around.. they are really good about sponsoring our contests and some of us enjoy playing them.. my compliments to BHB on that and whenever ive asked for a withdraw it has been done very fast. I can only speak for myself and have had a positive experience there, sure there are some things that id like (ml on nhl games, 10 cents mlb lines on anything under 1.80), for me this is a big issue as i play all year. I do not care for bonuses, except maybe a 10% on initial deposit.. as far as im concerned (keep up the good work) and get back online asap, although i dont have a problem with phone wagers, i still bet with 3 locals anyway..

SSI,

Thanks for the good words

meant them, hope you stick around.. what we are going to have is a weeding out of the books that cant last.. hope your one of the ones that do.. cut out the big bonuses, get the .10 cent mlb lines, at least for anything under -1.50.. that is huge for some of us, my locals deal 10 cent lines under -1.80. get the ML for the nhl,.. little things like this could put you guys up on peoples list.. your efforts in sponsoring these contests here should count for a lot more than people are giving you credit for... i notice that several are playing in your weekly nfl contest.. I dont see a lot of the bigger books sponsoring these.. Now like i said, these are only my comments, i dont know a thing about your business but i do know this business..

BHB,

I made a post in this thread which was not fair to you and was bourbon induced. I may not like your marketing plan, but I have no right to spout off like I did.

I would appreciate it if you would accept my apology and I do in fact wish you well. I have managed to not make enemies here and certainly don't want to start now.

And posters, I was speaking out of my asshole about something I know nothing about. Pay no mind to anything else I say tonight please.

Sorry BHB.

Mr. Jones - Apology accepted. Thank you very much for your honesty.
