Has there ever been a incident where a Grade A sportbook hit rockbottom and now receives D's or F's? I might have heard BetRoyal was something like that. Does anyone know of any Grade A range sportbooks that have fallen from the face of the earth?

I don't know the answer, but I wouldn't doubt it if an A rated book had to be downgraded. Even A-rated stocks can take a nosedive in the NYSE or NASDAQ. There's no guarantees in life.
If you bet sports, you'll be better served with an A-rated book than an F-rated book, I'd imagine. The ratings here on SBR or elsewhere are just a guide. Nobody can predict the future.

How often have you done that yourself, AK? Have you got paid from SunsetSports and stopped your shilling?Originally Posted by AK
In fact that statement is a bit like Hilter telling someone off for shortchanging a Jewish guy in the supermarket.

SBR ratings are good guide to go by although not perfect. We had another thread on this where I stated that one B rated book went down and one top 20 book, years back that I consider an A rated book. With all the books that SBR has rated and all the years they have been rating books that's really not a bad number.

Taco- Seriously, stop stalking Img and AK. You're cluttering every thread with BS.

No. No book that ever reached an A- rating has ever even slow paid.
BetPanAm reached B+ status before they started down. AcesGold was before the rating guide's creation and never broke into the top 10.
Since the SBR A+ to F- rating guide was published there has only been 1 B book that failed and zero A books.

Bluegrass B-
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
Yep, Bluegrass is another that reached into B territory and then went out of business.
I'm amazed there have not been more. In the early years places like the Rx had 5 sponsor books a year go under on average. But in recent years there have been extremely few failures of top shelf books.
