I placed a small wager on the game tonight with my Cascade account and from the bet tickets you can see these guys are accepting an average of 1000 wagers per day. We have not seen a full weekend of football but I imagine it should be 4-5 times this volume on a big weekend card. Just with an average $200 wager they should be raking $5000/day and probably more with the number likely to be betting on the -110 line and that will lose. I'm not buying the fact that they don't have some money to at least make some partial payments on the post up accounts of players wishing to withdraw..

John You need to get your HEAD EXAMINED. Not to mention YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR SAYING THAT NO SERIOUSLY.

LENNY IS TRYING HIS BEST, I KNOW THIS I HAVE SPOKE TO HIM MANY TIMES AND HE IS TRYING HIS BEST TO NEGOTIATE A DEAL OUT NOW. YOU GUYS NEED TO GIVE LENNY AND RICHARD A BREAK AND JUST POSSIBLY GET YOUR HEAD EXAMINED. MAYBE THE STAFF AT SBR NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT BODOG AND THERE CURRENT SITUATIONS?

AK

I am ashamed AK. I'm ashamed that Lenny promised to pay everyone in July and has not sent out a single penny. I'm ashamed that here in Costa Rica in 2007 a bookmaker can operate for 6 months and refuse to return even the money players posted up and continues to operate. I'm even ashamed I responded to you because I know you are looking out for AK and no one else.

I'm ashamed that here in Costa Rica in 2007 a bookmaker has any political clout in the government. Kinda shows what kind of country we are talking about hence the 3rd world country slogan. Is alkida setting up camps there yet johnny?

John I'm not the one that gets paid to refer people to books so who is looking out for who. You get paid from bodog "great chance there done" and have them all over your boards, forums, and every other venture site you have. I don't get paid from books to promote, I don't get paid from any book anymore, I don't recommend any book except Skybook.. You know why I promote skybook? Because they don't take sbr's rating stance guide. "remember the A rating rule SBR must know the Owners contact info and be in contact with them on a regular basis?" Seems to me not every sportsbook likes to have there owners info on bill dozers computer only a time bomb for the government to seize. Either way stop by OGD sometime we miss ya

Amazingly got called on my cell phone twice today from Cascade asking if I knew of the specials they are running for football season. Both time I said I was owed money and both times I was hung up on immediatly. How pitiful is that. I could have jumped all over the person calling but kind felt sorry for them , knowing they will probably get stiffed to. Lenny owes me about 8K thru my account and a shared account.

Yes they are dialing for dollars. Sorry i haven't got back to you lately Lenny. I have been traveling. But don't worry, i am sure we will meet soon. Have your boys at SBR tell you where this IP came in from. It won't be too much longer my man!!

Un-Fukking-beliveable!

We are still taking Cascade at their word that payments will start to all BEFORE NFL Sunday. Its obvious this is a scam but SBR said we will wait until Sunday to publicly declare this a scam so wait we will. Hopefully players will begin reporting payments in mass in the next 8 days and I will have to apologize.

I called Lenny 2 weeks ago, he told me to call him back in a week! I called him a week later, customer service rep said I must call him on his cell phone, I have called him three times and he does not answer! My balance is $11,200

John,
You said it - un fukking believable.

A friend of mine with a zero balance account has been called twice, and he told them that he heard of the payout problems I have had. Cascade said "I know for a fact that's not true, there are no problems and your friend must be confused with a different book."

Are they STILL a "D" rated book, now that we know they are taking deposits with everyone else here getting the shaft?
