I know the rx/sbr is a business. But I have to question why they would immediately start showing a betanysports banner that they know is a clone site of 5 dimes and probably ran by the old 5 dimes team.

With all the issues, complaints, hoops and many people still not paid by 5 dimes, I find this to really be a slap to the face of the members of this site.

Money before the members and that's a real shame.

Where have the SBR Moderators been? They only show up when their is unrest in the forum? Where has the SBR Moderators in regards to the brutal GT Bets hidden rules scam?

If there was an image of someone sitting at a desk counting money, they would be there.

Many won't agree with me here and will bash away but that's fine. I just think this is all wrong.

Well said.

The reason is simple. When you are making loads of cash(as this site once did along with others) you can afford morals. When you're scraping by(present) the morals quickly go out the window.

If this was circa 2005. GTBets would have already paid the money they stole because of pressure from sites like these. I use to see it all the time. If the poster wasn't scamming the book, then the larger sites(like this one use to be) would have forced them to pay up. Largely because advertising here was so important.

Now these sites need the books a hell of a lot more then the books need the site.

No mods will ever address this and will simply let time do its thing.

Never understood why Offshore so shady. You can't win being the house legit?

There's the real point.

Why are the offshores so shady?

Has their customer base, which undoubtedly boomed as the internet became household, but also undoubtedly retracted when neophyte gamblers began to understand how tough it is to win, now diminished to the point where they need to scam or shut the window?

Its amazing how years ago the books were afraid of these forums if they fucked someone.

There has been confusion about whether 5 Dimes is affiliated with them. I believe they said they are not but there are posts in the other forum going back to 2009 where people were saying they are connected

Looks like the federal government is responsible for this, it's part of a legal settlement

Don't waste your time trying to explain it Willie. You'd be better off talking to a wall with the cast of characters here.
