    Default Why is thegreek off the SBR recommended list

    Last I checked thegreek was on the list, it is still rated A+ in the rating guide but it's been taken off the recommended list, can someone please tell me what happened?

    Any why is betislands, a B rated booker on the recommended list, what's the criteria nowadays?

    You're looking at the posters list.Like 4 lenghts said Greek doesn't take US anymore so the voting changed.

    I am in the UK and 7 of the 12 banners at the top of my screen are not US friendly books.
    Can't comment on the value of those ads, of course.

    They dropped off my radar when I noticed they changed their rotation numbers to non-industry standard. I would occasionally notice a good line there and place a bet. So I kept a small balance there. Once I couldn't track them with any reliable line service, I dropped them. I think I am not the only one who did this.

    'cos they're the mut's nuts and trying to pretend anything else just reduces your credibility.

    same goes for Ladbrokes, Wm. Hill and Bet$3.65
    Greek is miles ahead of that trio who won't take a reasonable sized bet

    If I can guess, even Pinnacle does not advertise here, making it A+ will make SBR look more serious, authentic and less bias on sportsbook review. Another reason is probably Justin7.

    Everyone sees different ads: Some might not make sense though because I think their IP database has issues because I get ads in the wrong language.

    Edit by SBR Lou: I've sent you a PM.

    Pinnacle most certainly does advertise on this site.

    When the Greek dumped all their USA players into Heritage, they cleaned up the expense they had paying affiliates, including SBR.

    I think SBR is just extracting a bit of revenge here, rather petty IMO.

    They are there. Use the arrow by the books and you will see another row of books. You can customize them to put TheGreek in the first group.

    Thanks John.

    I like the Greek, always have, and I know you appreciate them too.

    Why do you think they left the US market?

    I think processing woes beat these guys down. Processors they do have end up running off with their money. Some of these guys are trying to ease into a less complicated situation as they get a little older.
