Aces,

You state that the shop closes up at 2 EST time so no phone bets are allowed after that time. Why not just play the games through the internet??

I'm not aware of this book having server issues. A lot of books though have been having them as they have been attaced by DOS attacks to imobile them. Did you incquire to see if that was the problem?

As for them not having your 1st half wager graded in time for you to place a 2nd half wager that is quite common with a lot of books as they are extremely busy especially during football season. You need to make sure that you're not wagering your whole bankroll so that you do have free money left to make other wagers.

As far as trusting my list and getting burned I will state this:

If you want to go play with another sites books that have advertised numerous books that closed shops where players got stiffed $$ then you can. There were even sites that had books up as advertisors that they knew were in financial trouble.

I've helped several people get paid too in the past that have or were getting stiffed by books.

My list is based on payout ability first and foremost. And I can tell you that sportingbet does indeed pay their players. They own over 28 other sportsbooks/casinos.

The best thing for you would have been to send me an e-mail with the problems and maybe I could have contacted someone on your behalf to see what's going on.

Send me an e-mail at [email protected] along with your user ID.

Thanks But

SportingBet PLC indeed is a large company however be assured they suck. I am blasting this company on every major gambling forum on the net and the damage is already setting in. I didnt think you would be happy with me attacking one of your advertisers on this site but this is where I found these Crooks. You can defend them Closing up shop early as well as explain betting stratagies to me, and how the poor sports book is just to busy to settle a winning wager but I personally think future players are entitled to know what kind of crap there getting in to prior to signing up. Its my opinion if under the review you put (this book is slow at settling wagers so you may want to have money in reserve to play on as well as there may not always be a line for the game you want oh yes and by the way the customer service department is a no service department they cant do a thing for you however if you can overcome all of this there is a good chance you will get paid.) I dont think I would have signed up. I am only stating facts if facts are not welcomed on this site I am sorry however I have facts as well as proof so I will continue to attack.

Aces,

Say what you want to say about them, but as of yet I still have nothing from you showing that you even had an account there.

Send me an e-mail with your user ID like I suggested before and maybe I can take a look into what your stating.

Account has been sent

You really are trying hard to defend your account with these guys.
OK you have my account number now, so lets see what you can do with it. All of my alligations are true so unless you come back with my $1600 don't defend these guys anymore it only makes you and your site look bad. Look at the letter sent by them admitting there mistake they were even nice enough to give me a $20.00 free play. (I guess I wrote that letter) I have posted this in multiple forums and I am getting negative comments about this book from quite a few players. You are the only person in America that has anything positive to say about these guys. Would you like me to post links? I bet you don't. Dump this book. Stop the Defense because I will not stop the Offense. The more you state what a good book this is, the madder I get. I will spend this evening winning money with a good book and posting what a piece of crap this book is all over the net.

You know what? I already sent them some question prior to receiving your e-mail. And I must say i'm getting sick of your attitude. If you don't like my recommended list then don't fucking use it. Theres only 2 sites out there that give recommended lists that have books on there that don't advertise with them and mine being one of them.

I've helped people get paid that were stiffed before, warned people about shit books that were having problems etc. You don't know me at all and if you want to think sportingbet sucks then that's your opinion. I have numerous players with them that haven't had any complaints.

You opened up an account with them and lost your ass betting over your head is what happened. Again never bet your whole bankroll on a play as it ties your money up not to mention its stupid betting.

If you want to talk to me further about this then e-mail me as you're not going to get your driven agenda across on this forum.

This shows what kind of book sportingbet is:

Sportingbet Makes Good on Bet Grading Error

There was a grading problem last weekend in which both sides were paid of the Eagles/Redskins game (losing bets were paid as winners).

This letter went out to all customers effected. Anyone who made a withdraw of funds got a Christmas bonus.

Subject: Important Update on Your Account Balance

Dear Name,

We apologize for the inconvenience, but on Saturday night there was a computer error in regards to the grading of the eagles / redskins football
game. As a result of this error, your bet, bet id: xxxxxx was graded incorrectly and an extra $xx.xx was deposited into your account with cid: xxxxx early Sunday morning.

After checking and rechecking our logs to verify this amount, we have adjusted your account balance by xx.xx to correct this over crediting.

We further apologize, but note that you had a pending withdrawal also in process and so we deducted xx.xx from that to bring your account balance into proper order.

There is still an amount of $xx.xx which was credited to your account but we could not recover. We will not seek to recover these funds, you may keep these funds and consider them a bonus for our mistake.

No further adjustments will be done to your account.

We realize that this adjustment was a bit abrupt but we felt we had to act as soon as we could to put accounts into their proper state. If you are at all confused or have any questions about this matter, please don't
hesitate to contact us at either 1-800-***-XXXX or ***@***.com.

Aces,

While i'm at it i'll add the following:

Sportingbet is one of the biggest sportsbooks out there in terms of players, customers, number of bets and bet volume taken.

They are one of the very few books that have an escrow account of players money. Meaning they maintain all players post up funds in a separate escrow account.

Under British law they have to keep a certain amount of cash on hand for payouts and to cover players post up funds. So they are one of the most capitalized sportsbooks out there.

Their stock is trading at its 52 week high as well.

Aces,

Making threats to me now is not the way for me to look into your allegations.

You're now banned as I don't have to put up with physical threats....sorry
