Wow... That's brutal. Any idea how much Bestake netted off of this BS, Justin?

It's very hard to say. They got a lot of deposits from players by offering ridiculous odds on WC dogs. Basically, it looks like every deposit was stolen now.

Justin,

One thing you said didn't make a lot of sense.

You advised people to hold off on depositing with BetStake until they get this whole thing sorted out.

Even if they somehow get this thing sorted out, how could you ever advise anyone to deposit money with this book after what they tried to pull here?

This book should be permanently blacklisted no matter what happens from this point going forward.

I'm not saying you should deposit later... But you definitely should not deposit now.

Many books have gone through situations and recovered. Until they do, steer clear.

I love how you addressed the payout odds of the wager first, llike it mattered in even the most remote sense.. the whole video should have been railing them for this theft tactic.. not 1st complaining that you aren't getting true odds on it

What a unique way to steal players' funds. Excellent vid BTW. In less than four minutes, you clearly laid out this Book's elaborate method of theft. I thought I had seen everything....

wow. hell i feel sorry for all the people this has happened to.

i would be raising hell, and devote every free second of my life into making sure this sportsbook dies.

is there anyway to find out who is the owner of the site. i am sure they have to file some paper work in costa rica.

Betstake are no more then thieving vultures

Hope punters caught up in this somehow get their cash back. But that does not look a likely outcome sadly

I was just waiting for this to happen the past weeks. Why did they even bother to pull of that click-here-and-your-balance-is-void-button thing... Could of just taken the money and close down, what's the difference anyway? Just incredible...

Agreed

Justin7 is right that legitimate books have gone through situations and recovered, but the kinda scam this book tubesnake is pulling is like an episode of Punk'd, I would have trouble ever believing the guys runnin this book are worthy of sending a penny to after this. I've got a feeling this book is going to be out of business within a couple weeks anyway so it really doesnt matter
