Lol..........I guess they are hoping the 14x rollover will give them enough time to use new depositors money to pay their debts and if those guys win than they will stiff them

[dark_knight]

Morally bankrupt. Don't understand how he can live with himself. Having said that I can't fault the business model as sharpcat describes it.

wow!


i did not know that

[Hareeba!]

what they are doing surely is illegal in any jurisdiction?
continuing to trade with virtually no prospect of being able to pay your debts when they are due is a crime in any civilised country
this guy should end up behind bars

[dark_knight]

Not that this makes up for still taking deposits, but I'm not sure they've actually increased the bonus. I'm fairly sure they had 70% free play with 14x roll a few weeks back.

[acarmelo1]

wow, unreal didn't some fukk come on here spouting how reputable they were

no shame, no honor, no dignity.

They were highly recommended by the SHRINK

What is it that you are asking about that March upgrade? Bet911, as many lower rated books are, were upgraded then for performance improvement. They cleaned up their bonus rules based on SBR's suggestions, were open to mediation and there weren't any no-pay complaints.

[katstale]

that was before Robert went to the Lenny "Improve your bottomline sportsbook" seminar which I am sure is given out in some bar in San Jose each week. Promotional flyer reads in part: "Sportsbook having cash flow problems? You tired of listening to players whine for their money? No need to fret--Uncle Lenny will help you overcome that feeling of being a lowlife weasel. After my seminar, you will be able to sleep at night (with bodyguards) and have no problem talking out of multiple sides of your face. Best of all, you will not have to close up your business at all. All of this and so much more you will get at my one day seminar AND one free bet on a rooster fight"

This doesn't fit with this:

Bet911 has been downgraded to F. SBR is aware of at least one sportsbook looking at the possibility of taking over player balances. Bet911 has a higher than average amount of sharp players that make the acquisition undesirable to most potential suiters. Bet911 has been attempting to partner or sell to another sportsbook for at least the past year. Bet911 offered too-good-to-be-true bonuses in conjunction with reduced juice pricing; a very risky model especially for a sportsbook that has to balance its own costs and processing without the help of a white label host

Just a look at what they offered suggested they were ****ed. You could have won there. I know you can only go on whats reported and these guys tried to clean everything up -- but a thief is thief and you know they had a bad history.


For another book I predict trouble for, look at BetOnline.

It is really interesting seeing the SBR employees try to rejoin the "facts" from the newsfeed with what happens after. J7 apparently gave up on his attempts in the "betphoenix sinking ship" thread, which is probably the best option IMO.

Its pretty clear from the amount of random upgrades/downgrades/random stories that SBR is wiling to manipulate ratings for a price, the real question is... how much will they do this for? Carib newsfeed makes no mention of my complaint, the lies to SBR, and the open policy of theft. Apparently stealing from players and lying is what "B" books do. Congrats.

[SBR Lou]

Thremp,

Was Carib downgraded following your complaint?

Did SBR also help get you paid?

[chrikar]

Things get worse and worse. I had some hopes about not losing my money there...but i have already forgotten them. F**k

[jackkkk2009]

they are already not able to psy their owed players. why still taking new deposit? SBR should give them a warning and tell them to take off their deposit page.

LOL.

They won't listen to SBR or anyone. They are a rouge book, planning on scamming what they can for as long as they can.

Disgusting.

Hi, I was on live chat yesterday and asked about this issue. Robert said that he hasn't taken any deposits for the last two weeks.

I asked how discussions were going, he said he is "waiting for an email". So I know that one of these two is a lie.

He then told me to get a life.

What is his real name?

[tommy83]

there's no 'firm' that giving licenses in costa rica? everybody can open a book without any problem?

Not sure that many people would deposit there right now.. but there are probably some people who didn't see the news and got suckered in.

At this point I don't expect him to get much done. He probably just e-mailed a bunch of bookies and asked if they were interested. Unless there is something in it for him then I doubt he is working towards a solution for the players. It is much easier for him to just pocket new deposits that come in.

As for his name.. I don't know. He has said he is from kansas. Are you gonna send a collector or something?

[Peep]

What is his real name?

I don't think "Robert" owns the book. I think he just works there.

[ringemup]

y would u even try out these scums after hearing of their fraud? haha

[blix177]

Someone should send a fax to ** and **********, and tell them this person "roberto steinshouer mickey in san jose costa rica" is running a scam. And if ** and ** want to save from an headache that name should be red flag for any transaction and be rejected.

hey that's a good idea! perhaps SBR is organization with authority which could do that?
