It's obvious SBR knew that BI was in trouble. I'm certain they were involved in some way and had to have this information. Even if they didn't, players posting and emailing consistantly about slow pays would lead them to believe that there was a problem.

SBR knew about the financial situation of BI and didn't say anything because they didn't want to ruin their cash cow. If they came out and stated that BI was in financial difficulty, there would be a run on withdrawals, eliminating their income from BI.

They hoped that an alternative would be found and risked their entire reputation and integrity that BI would get bailed out. Why, with all of the affiliate books that they have, would they risk their reputation on one 2 year old sportsbook? Because they were in on it. There is no other explaination...they risked their reputation because they were in on BI and couldn't see it fail.

They didn't post anything about the slow pays, didn't change the grade on the site and overall just sat there hoping that something would happen and that it wouldn't come to this.

Well, it didn't. SBR is the primary culprit in this whole thing. They are a sham operation and need to be exposed for what they are...thieves.

I would love to see someone from SBR poke a hole in any of this logic at all. I would love to hear why there was no movement when everyone knew there was an issue at hand a lot bigger than "processing difficulties".

Come on SBR, give us your response!
