    No more carib classic challenge. No more last man standing contest. The only two reasons I used carib. It was great while it lasted. Did a withdrawal a few months ago. Looks like the end

              If they hire swinging Johnson back they would be a powerhouse again, he made that book a big time book.

                  They were my favorite book for about 6 years, until about 2009. They made there own prop lines & were certainly not a vanilla book!
                  Gave up on them when they started with 40 cent prop lines.

                        Might not have enough demand from USA players or they do not want the exposure

                          Ya but who plays there then? Its not like the rest of the world can't bet pretty much anywhere, plus carib is us sports centric, their soccer lines are awful.

                            Was one of my first three books and I've always liked them. Guess paying that big Carib Classic grand prize to someone in the US could be tough these days.

                              It's not like the Boston Marathon where you knew what country was going to win.(Kenyans). Didn't mean the US players were going to win the grand prize. If I won I could only get 850 at a time.

                                      Well, Hitman. Always treated me well.

                                      Good vs. Well
                                      Good is an adjective while well is an adverb answering the question how.

                                      Examples:
                                      You did a good job.
                                      Good describes job, which is a noun, so good is an adjective.

                                      You did the job well.
                                      Well answers how the job was performed.

                                      Rule: With the four senses–look, smell, taste, feel–discern if these words are being used actively to decide whether to follow them with good or well. (Hear is always used actively.)

                                      Examples:
                                      You smell good today.
                                      Good describes you, not how you sniff with your nose.

                                      You smell well for someone with a cold.
                                      You are sniffing actively with your nose here so use the adverb.

                                      She looks good for a 75-year-old grandmother.
                                      She is not looking actively with eyes so use the adjective.

                                      Rule: When referring to health, always use well.

                                      Examples:
                                      I do not feel well today.
                                      You do not look well.

                                      Rule: When describing someone’s emotional state, use good.

                                      Example: He doesn’t feel good about having cheated.

                                      So, how should you answer the question, “How are you?” If you think someone is asking about your physical well-being, answer, “I feel well,” or “I don’t feel well.” If someone is asking about your emotional state, answer, “I feel good,” or “I don’t feel good.” To get around this problem, you could answer, “I feel fine,” “I feel great,” or “I feel sick.”

                                      Quiz
                                      1. She jogged very good/well for her age.
                                      2. She had a good/well time yesterday.
                                      3. With a high fever, it is unlikely he will feel good/well enough to play basketball tomorrow.
                                      4. Those glasses look good/well on you.

                                          Carib will give my account to someone else that I'm already with and make me have to roll it over 5-10 times.

                                            Carib was my first too. Definitely more off-market lines than any other I've been at.

                                                  Thank Swinging Johnson for Carib's sudden low key approach. I don't think they even accept new American punters. This asshole helped prosecute the founders of SOS which was Carib's sister book. Since then Carib has been hiding under the covers. Thanks SJ!

                                                      if you did the math, Carib lost money on the contest. They should just payout 90% of the take, and they would make money, but get all that traffic. I so looked forward to the contest every year. that was the only reason I played at Carib

                                                        You should never lose money on a contest like that. Simple arithmetic.

                                                                They fixed the rules last year to make it almost impossible for them to lose money, like they had in prior years. But they had far, far less players, and even if they made a few $$$, it wasn't worth the effort I guess to host it. Shame.
