Exclamation Can't believe Loose Lines is even allowed to advertise here

I am disappointed at the fact that Loose Lines is even allowed to even have advertising here (top of page). Their management includes Absolute Poker super user scandal employees. Stay away!

Potsie,

Do you have facts to support this? Were these "scandal employees" at fault in the super-user issue?

I could name hundreds of sources, but you can see it here

It names Russ Hamilton at the 4:30 mark as being the mastermind behind the scandal. He was let go, and started a site called "BetRuss"...from there he went to Loose Lines. Whoever does business and allows this idiot to have anything to do with their company should be avoided at all costs. Unless you like getting cheated out of your money.

Potsie, old news...Russ is out of the business and is no longer associated with Looseline or the defunt (BetRuss)... Jazz (DPT) owns Looselines and is as solid as they come. Actually, its amazing how long it took for a Jazz book to finally make it to the top of SBR. One last thing, Russ is a scumbag for scamming poker players and I am not endorcing any Jazz book, but get your facts straight before you blast them.

Everybody has to work someplace I guess.

Unless he is paying off the Giants to win by less than 3 1/2, I don't think he can do to much to cheat sportsbettors.

But it isn't my business really. Carry on. Were you personally effected by his thievery Potsie?

BetRuss has been around for many years spamming for customers. I have no idea if Russ Hamilton was connected to it, but he certainly didn't "leave UB to start BetRuss" as BetRuss was around before the scandal happen.

I have never played with looselines because i knew all along that it was run by Russ, the absolute poker thief, but i have played with Jazz sports and got cheated out of $500 by someone named Alex Powers who i think is one of their managers/general managers. They used to have a free blackjack tourny every Monday night that not too many people even knew about. I think only about 15-20 people even participated in it. Well, I played in it every week for a few months and then I actually won it 2 weeks in a row (1st place was $500 cash) and this moron manager named Alex Powers told me that the same person couldnt win in 2 weeks in a row, even though no where in the rules did it say that. We proceded to have a shouting match on the phone and he then closed my acct and i have obviously never been back. I would recommend to proceed with caution when dealing with this Alex Powers also. I posted this story on therx when it happened last year and every response i got was how crooked this Alex Powers is.

How long ago did this happen? Fill out a complaint form and we'll be happy to look at it. If there was no rule against it, they owe you.
