Default so many horror stories

It is scary how many rip off- non paying sportbooks are out there. With the lady who wont get paid almost 20,000 from Bet Ed- and they have a B- rating??? how does this crap happen- how can they be a B-?? Will I have a similar situation on my hands? I have turned $100 into $10,000 with VIP in less than a week. They are rated A- - why in my gut I feel Im not going to get paid. Is $10,000 a lot of money to a so called A- book. Im not saying I wont get paid- but what recourse is there for the bettor who does everything the proper way ? I posted a few days back and a few people said I will have no problem getting paid- but then you read how VIPs rating will drop soon- I guess I will find out when I try and withdraw next week. I hope your A- rating is accurate because thats what a lot of bettors who arent familiar with offshore books take as gospel-that you guys @sbr are accurate. Any comments people???

There is more to teh BEt Ed situation that was later evelaed in the massive thread. There were issues on the players story and she had a lack of proper paperwork needed.

The moral of the story is: If you lose at a sportsbook it doesn't matter if you broke any rules depositing, wagering late, playing correlated parlays, playing bad lines etc. The book will keep the money for a losing bet no matter what the circumstances. Now if you win then you are a criminal because you broke all the rules. Keep that in mind.
