TOW book without mentioning that they also have a banner on his site
Brilliant Captain Obvious- Why the hell do you think the picture is up. It's to get at TOW and myself.

SBR- I noticed you ignored my request to show other books. Are you going to mislead people or tell them that this isn't unusual.

Not much difference especially when you consider that SBR has 5Dimes rated as one of their top books at an A.

It's like hitting the lottery. Of all the books SBR photographed to show us it's a book up at both TOW and ****. It's a miracle.

Honestly,

Five Dimes Looks like sh*t. Their sh*t is just spread out over a bigger area.

I know a guy who makes close to 7 figures a year (legitimately) and you'd fall down if you saw his car. In no way am I implying that bodog is better than 5dimes because of the $ they spend on their "compound" (LMAO), but its quite sobering when you have thousands of dollars going to a place to the size of a walk in closet.

You would be surprised how many books look like those photos. However, the majority of bets are done online so you have to be really huge to warrant an office like BOS.

You shill for NoJuice too Raiders?

We can post other shops. I know we have posted pics of CRIS and BoDog. We can do Hollywood and 5Dimes. We were in ABC and Nine 3 days ago, both very impressive.

NoJuice is a new book. What do you expect?

John- You have NoJuice rated a D+. Let me pick 10 books with a rating higher than D+ so that I can show posters how misleading that SBR can be. As TT said those pics are the norm.

Go for it raiders, am sure it can be a nice idea for your site, but don't expect SBR to pay and execute your experiment.

I mean I know Buckeye and Las Palmas size books at times have one or two clerks for baseball action, but with basketball still going on you think you can find place with TWO clerk stations and only one being manned? C+ rated you likely couldn't find one out of ten if you picked at random.

Sure, go ahead Raiders.

BTW, what is missleading?

I have no problem with this book and have never said a bad word..even said a few good. The SBR rating is sharp at D+. The ownership I think are trying and do a decent job. What do you expect? This is not BoDog, its a brand new book. When they grow they will need more space...simple as that.

Lakerfan- It's not up to you so why don't you stay out of it. I don't need your advice. I'm asking John and Dozer about taking photos.

John- That would be a great idea. Why don't the posters here vote on some books that they would like to see.

does anyone here really care what this place looks like, as long as they pay. hell, some of those pics remind me of a few of the bigger locals i use around town.

as somebody else mentioned above. the only thing that really concerns me at all about this place is there bussiness model over the long haul. no signs of them folding as of yet.

Royal: have Dave lead the way and go in unannounced. Then take his picture before taking him to the hospital.

I say Nine.com
