    i think i just had to originally provide name/account/address/balance.
    it was worth the 2 minutes of time, but of course i still wish the payout could've been higher

    I would hope they would give your percentage to your players who likely lost a much larger figure after you referred them to a crap book...

    good to hear you saved that other 3500. i also got lucky that i lost a couple of large wagers on the bos side (being a bonus whore and betting against myself) in the days leading up to the shutdown.

    Does sharing your dumb luck with others who obviously lost money make you feel good?

    I should be getting a check around $200 but I've moved since I last filled out that form (that was what, 5 years ago???). We'll see if the check finds its way to me.

    I got mine today, its 4.63% to be exact. LOL. It says this is the first and final payment.

    Herbie, you cant really blame him for referring people to a crap book. There was a time when this book was being touted by all the forums, including this one. I mean, did SBR or any other forum apaogize for referring us to that crap book. No, they just lowered its rating from A to F and hoped that everyone would foregt it used to be an A book.

    Oh and in case some people dont know, BOS was Dalton Wagners VWAGER/MVPSPORTSBOOK/BHB. These 3 books were huge advertisers on all the forums and were thus considered great books. Then when the company was bankrupt, Dalton Wagner claimed the company was under new ownership and now called BOS, then he took the money.
