    Default Covers: Lou's Blog Bad News From BetUS 5/09/11

    Funny how BetUS didnt want to take any new US Customers 2 weeks before Feds dropped the hammer. Clearly word got out and they didnt want to get hooked up with a fed sting operation.

    Hey Boys ,

    I have some bad news from BetUS.

    I have just confirmed that BetUS will no longer be taking new customers from the US and it will be long time before they do if they ever do.

    BetUS was a big player in the US and they will be missed . The big question now is where will the thousands of new players end up playing?

    If you are recreational player like most Covers users I think BetEd if the obvious choice. With a nice looking site and state of the art software betED is real easy to navigate. They have a variety of odds and a rock solid reputation. betED is a dream book for the average bettor. And if its Poker you are after they do a nice job here too. betED just put on a free $2000 total prize freeroil for Covers customers only this weekend. The turnout was great and the betED guys tell me there will be more freerolls in the near future. Click here to check betED out today.

    If you don’t find what your after at betED you should give SBG Global and SPORTSBETTING a look. They both have a solid reputation and focus on paying players as quick as possible.

    Keep winning my friends,

    Lou.

    Beted "the obvious choice" LOL I think they need to reevaluate how they rank their sportsbooks without using the whoever pays them the most model.

    Wow, Covers has hit a new low. "Sorry the top book we recommended went under, but here are two other books that we pinky promise are good."

    Disgusting.

    This pretty much makes Covers' affiliate payout from BetEd quite massive if it is based upon player losses eh?

    Didn't I read someplace (here or elsewhere) that they were just short of promising outright to do whatever it took to get everyone made whole ?

    Covers is such a joke. A lot of peple there are actually believing they will get their Beted $$ back

    Obviously out of convenience, the rest of the thread is not published. He admitted that he was given the wrong information and as of now BetUs still welcomes US players.

    We are all on this together, wishing and pushing for books and websites to shutdown definitely help us all right?

    lou is a clown , someone complained about sportsbetting taking 6 months to pay him and lou's response was , well atleast you got paid what are you complaining about,


    but i will give cover credit for their injury reports and matchups, they have who is resting before anyone and the stat matchups is good

    A lot of people attack SBR's credibility. While I disagree with the attacks, at least SBR has an A+ list that stands the test for recreational and professional bettors. Cover's list is laughable and gives them zero integrity. The sentence in red shows a complete lack of intelligence and total disregard for their players to have them directed to either of those three books (even before BetEd was closed). TheRX isn't any better either. Why doesn't covers add in WSEX, Apex Sportsbook, and Oddsmaker all as "Top Books"?

    So you might not like SBR but they are head and shoulders above the rest who ONLY make their list based on who shows them the money.

    People overestimate and give Covers way too much attention than they deserve. It's obvious all they are about is make money out of sportsbook advertisements so it's normal they defend their interests. The BetEd scandal harms them as well.. Their rep is suffering a blow. SBR is a bigger company and more involved in the industry. You cant really compare them

    They never did have credibility. Anyone who isn't a newb has never given them cred. Look at their books, SBG
