BETWWTS is DOWN!

[savage1]

I predict that WWTS will be up and running again within 72 hours max. and probably a lot sooner.

[jeedd2]

Man i hope so...have 9 ncaa bets in for tomorrow.

[savage1]

Jeedd2-Actually I chatted online with someone at wwts and was told that all existing/pending bets count(only if they lose.jk .)

[jeedd2]

Savage1 -haha would it be any other way?

[jeedd2]

talked to cs---they said all pending wagers will be honered

I am glad but am still disappointed that they are intimidated enough to suspend operations in terms of the actual wording of the bill and the timeframes listed by which it must be implemented.

[jeedd2]

I agree Savage, I think this is some BULLSHIT. Come Monday everyone is gonna pull what money they have and be gone.
My balance reflects that I won my Det. play...

[savage1]

Jeedd2-as I said previously, someone has to somehow get this entire issue to the highest court in the land for a ruling on what I consider an infringement of human rights.

That's not true. BetOnSports/Millenium hasn't refunded a penny since it was criminally charged and its lawyers admit they don't have assets to do so.

My guess is that many of the books that shut down won't be able to pay customers. That's when the real political fallout will begin.

they have given back the money to their canadian customers I believe by handing over their accounts to BetCris (dont quote me but Im 99% sure) with a rollover requirement.

Maybe BetCris but these accounts for a certain % amount?

Who knows but its a start

PEACE

also the shit hit the fan pretty quick in regards to this didnt it? I thought this whole bill was in regards to funding of accounts and the govt wanted to hold the banks liable, right? why are these books in other countries giving a flying fuck what our govt does....I know I wouldnt if I ran a book.....Id wanna take as much action as possible......very fishy

BOS is a complete different story from these other books. The Government wanted them to pay taxes of $3.6 billion. What book out there could do that? Not to mention that the former owner of the book before he sold it was wanted in the USA since he ran out of the Country with his book to start it back up in Costa Rica.

The only book that has shut down is betwwts and it worries me that their not allowing people to withdraw their funds from the USA.

As I stated earlier it either means they are trying to sell the book to make it private thus the value will be more with the US players still there. Or they don't have the funds to cover every USA player if they wanted their money.

As for BOS and all books under them Cris is taking over them with a bailout plan if anyones interested.

For the first time in 9 years, I have no action on any team thanks to WWTS. Watch me have a monster weekend.
