Default I had to quit TOW !

I can't even get into the site anymore since they "upgraded" it ! Tired of the BS anyway !

Maybe I'll post again at Rubbertoe's in a year or so when they straighten SHIT out, I'm going to have to delete these guys. Glad I ain't RPM, might have to get a job.

Ship of fools !

They started with good intentions. They made some incredibly bad business decisions which showed their true colors imo. When you promote BetOnSports as a perfect ‘10’ and rate NoJuice the same as BetFair and have 4 rookies grab the money and run you got a few issues. Even as slippery as they are it will be tough to spin back from these self-inflicted disasters.

Doug, you are amazing. You are quick to jump ship as soon as the water becomes a bit rough , you are a shit team player. I personally do not choose one forum over the other. I do remember the nice week end in Miami that posters recieved. Let me know when SBR takes you anywhere. I am tired of listening to your bull shit. I think its time to retire from this forum crap.

While it wasnt necessary to post this (again) by Doug, i basically agree...TOW sold out, and what could be worse for a "watchdog"?

I would even call them scam artists now, because of the way they handle the situation: as if nothing happened. TOW did nothing wrong, its all the bashers and SBRs fault.
This site is not only worthless now, its misleading and full of false information.

I have no favorites when it come to forums, but I am disappointed by how TOW is handling the No Juice and Bet4aces problems. I do not have any money in Bet4aces, but if I did I would be livid with them. They told the b4aces players they had a bailout for them last week but they have not provided any info since to those players.

In regards to No Juice, which I have money in, they have not paid anyone in 40 days and their website has been down and they have not been answering the phones for about 36 hours. The only info I have got from TOW is that there is no info. I do not see how there is no info. Either they cannot get in touch with them or if they have No Juice is telling them something. In either case, that is info. Tell me which or what it is.

sorry you feel that way. techies are aware of the problem and are working on it. fwiw, there are plenty of forums out there, you should find one that makes you happy.

TOW had some good info, esp. about bonuses like the recent Sportbet 50% one. I'd read the site... if I could ! I'll probably refrain from posting, at least for awhile at theOFFlinewire if it ever gets back online.

Quick check of TOW shows BetOnSports still rated a perfect 10. Yet their lead story is:
BREAKING NEWS: BETonSPORTS.com Web site shut down
IN LIGHT OF COURT PAPERS FILED IN THE UNITED STATES, THE COMPANY HAS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED THIS FACILITY PENDING ITS ABILITY TO ASSESS ITS FULL POSITION

RPM?

i can't see them recovering this time really.

bad enough, the forum never really caught on to begin with, add on to that, the few posters they do have, have been mislead by the tow operators into not just one scam sportsbook, but, scam after scam after scam after scam.

gotta wear down even the most gullible.

then, to add insult to injury, their is never any responsibility taken.. it is always someone esles fault, every single time.

just can't see anyone, at least, nobody with any self respect, feeling they are appreciated there..well, besides the appreciation felt for the money taken in for the advertisement cash, from those scam sportsbooks.



the party thing, that just baffles me, that people hold that over the posters.. the party was paid for, in part at least, by those scam sportsbooks.

the posters should feel some sort of obligation to remain grateful?


bizarroland for sure.

Roberto and TOW have been exposed. A horrible site that mis-directed posters into fly by night new books who went belly up weeks after, sometimes days after Roberto would give them glowing endorsements.

With The RX, MajorWager, and EOG all with egg on their faces for promoting thieves. Roberto took it one step furthur and rated BetOnSports the best of the best sportsbooks with a "10" rating in the midst of numerous stiff job complaints by BOS being reported all over the forums.

I do believe that the Perfect rating will change...

That is a hilarious statement coming from a site that has books which have been closed for a long time still rated c+ and b

I think if all you so called watchdogs just stopped fighting all the time, you may actually be able to accomplish something positive. Too bad that isn't going to happen anytime soon

Good job being the first to withdraw your support for BOS. You were a chalk favorite in the SBR office pool to be the first.

John, you must be brain dead or something

I have never been a supporter of BOS, unlike yourself

Lets not forget, your hands are dirty with their money!

If you will recall only 1 month ago I was asking you why you had them at a C-

The text of my post to you is included below

http://forum.sportsbookreview.com/sh...ad.php?t=12175

"You have sites like hollywood with extreme slow pays going on right now, rated at a C

You have betonsports at a C- yet they have confiscated players funds

You have Sportsinteraction pulling funny business with SSN requests to delay pay outs, yet they are rated C+

Then you have sites, albeit newer ones, who advertise with one of your competitors, and they have lower ratings, without any signs of slow pays, complaints or the like

Then...... you have sites which are not even online with ratings of a C+ and B

i.e. 121bets.com or betaustralia.com"

Gotsteam,
time for you to come out of the closet. I know you are envious and you acted very strange at our office but you need to butch up and be a professional. You are not hiding behind that posting name anymore if you discuss our business on a public forum.

nuts,

the ratings aren't my thing. i have nothing to do with them, but if i did, i would say there's no reason to downgrade them while this is pending. for all anyone knows, betonsports will win the appeal of the temporary restraining order and be back online in two days.

as far as tow and/or towforum being dead, we are busier than we have ever been before, and plenty of players are signing up at our sponsors sites, so if this means we are dead, so be it.
