    Very Difficult To Rate Small/Obscure Books

    Why?? Not a ton of info on them not a lot of player input, many dont advertise much, many want zero attention and just have a small solid customer base whether credit or post up. I am sure many small books are high risk but some have to be solid C's and better.

    after the betislands scandal i doubt many people want to risk sending their money to a new book that doesnt have a solid reputation.

    Smokey I think that was the sales pitch..when I was posting back then I think they just used their lines and servers but ZERO money backing.

    There really is no point anymore
    you can safely play at and not be limited
    Costa Rican International Sports
    Pinnacle
    SBO
    and a line of credit with Grande
    and you safe at 5 dimes/heritage and the b365
    otherwise not worth it

    Never played there..at time I guess it would of been a C

    Poor management and no track record and I always knew that

    Some I guess got fooled by them or they forged docs...I was not around for all that
