Default "The Top Ranked Sportsbook in the World"

I am laughing as I type this. But that is the flyer I got from BetUS.

They mention the top 10 things to look for in a book.

Please note...getting paid is not among the top 10 things per BetUS.

1. Years in Operation
2. Security of Funds
3. Management
4. Method of Deposit
5. Customer Service
6. Liberal Wagering Rules
7. State of the Art Technology
8. Country of Operations
9. Internet Access
10. Advertising and Promotions.

I kid you not. No where do they promote or suggest they pay their customers in any form of reasonable time.

I have to give them credit for having the stones to put that in print and obviously they can count on enough people to fall prey to this nonsense.

Oh, and the service who ranked the as the best sportsbook in the world...."Insiders Betting Digest".... I can't stop laughing.

Sounds like the same type of advertising BetonSports did prior to going bust.

How can they be the Top Ranked Sportsbook in the World? I have an email right here making it clear that SBG-Global is the Top Ranked Sportsbook in the World.

Why, something's not adding up here.

That's an impressive accomplishment in the year 2008.

I read in that same magazine that "The book that spends the most on things like direct mailers and celebrity endorsements is the book you need to play with. Why? Because it shows that they have a large enough base of valuable customers to allow them to affor those types of promotions."
