Sad to say

I hate to see you leave the offshore sceen bud. It's the banking options the U.S. is trying to block, not gambling just yet. As long as you stick with the top notch books you will have no problems getting paid.

Neteller should be a good out for roughly another 9 months (give or take) I'm thinking we really won't have to worry about them at all til after the NBA season is over.

BigDog · 10-19-06, 05:47 PM

GL with your locals BigD but I really dont think you had to do that........The books will find a way around this when that time comes.....Personally,I'm NOT concerned @ all @ this point

SBR_John · 10-19-06, 05:54 PM

It would be impossible for me to ever go back. I cant play that run down game and busy signals and meeting in the graveyard on Tuesday. As long as CRIS and Pinny are going strong, so am I.

jjgold · 10-19-06, 06:01 PM

You should not need any rundowns unless your an action junkie.

SBR_John · 10-19-06, 06:49 PM

What about playing a couple of 7 team parlays for $10 each? No local with any customer base will let you throw in more than a 4teamer.

And how about when you wake up late hung over out of your mind and start calling 10 minutes before kick off and all you get is a busy signal? Of course thats the AM you would have gone 3-0.

nah... you guys have fun. I'll be at pinnaclesports.com.

Sam Odom · 10-19-06, 06:52 PM

There is no reason not to bet into Pinny, WSEX, Matchbook & Greek. Just like the pioneer days of online betting.

Along with the local sportsbooks, Im with you on that. Pinnacle is my main offshore book. You cant go wrong with them.

durito · 10-19-06, 06:55 PM

Nothing could keep me from betting with pinnacle at this point. If I have to fly to Curaco with a suitcase of cash once a year, I will.

The GUYS around here who will take real action use Don Best

Can find only a few guys with low limits who hang stale lines

Johhny you cannot beat the feeling of cutting out the lines in the NY Post every day with a razor blade and you have your lines pocket size right in front of you to look at the board. Johhny many locals use the NY Daily News and NY Post for their lines. Johnny go to any deli in Newark and the garbage pales are loaded with newspapers untouched except the part where the lines are. We all brink our razor blades and cut them out and then discard the paper.

Johhny you will never experience the feeling betting at Pinnacle Sports after a winning week where you go to get paid with a fukkin briefcase full of cash and then you bring it home and spread it all over your bed rubbing your pecker in excitment.

Johhny you can have the 5 Dime transfer when you win at Pinnacle transfered into Neteller and let it sit there until you blow it again.

Johhny..Big D and I like our cash when we win and meeting guys in bowling alleys to collect.

Sam Odom · 10-19-06, 07:00 PM

JJ, dont forget about the thrill of throwing bazooka joe out the window to the street kids after a big collection.

Uh.. you know, I guess thats one sensation I'll have to let pass me by.

jjgold · 10-19-06, 07:09 PM

Sammy I do that all the time whether I win or lose and throw out the hot dog gums too.

BigD · 10-19-06, 07:50 PM

I love the online books that why I gave up the locals four years ago. I guess we'll just see how it all shakes out in the nexts few months but I will always be at SBR as long as it around

Not true most local have sites that manage there action and it all the same action that is offered through pinny and many of the top books with the same prices.

isetcap · 10-19-06, 08:02 PM

That's a good move, BigD. I've been looking for a middle man to pay for putting my bets in online.

I'm not paying any middle man I get to use some the of the same sites I had before. I still put my own action in online I pay the same juice as if I was betting through pinny or cris but I pay or get paid by an agent. If you ask me I would be in a better position then anyone funded in a online book because I no longer have to worry about transferring money or netteller. If anything the middle man is paying the book to manage the action, bit I think I will give up gaming altogether

I can't see myself going back to locals either. Those damn freaking Tuesdays are a nightmare.

neither can I freebie...

Its fvcked up, it really is. You go to your bank and make a big-azz withdraw and it gets so the tellers know your a big-azz loser. Then you go to the designated spot which is usually confirmed by a cell call. Some guy with a 3rd grade education and bloodshot eyes pulls up in his new Lexus and takes all your money. You swear you will never gamble again but luckily by Friday you feel a little better and check a few lines.

Sam Odom · 10-20-06, 09:28 AM

Damn John!! You needed to change Locals.

I like the ones you sit down with on Tue and have a beer and sausage/pepper/onion sub

Ya it's much better losing to someone like Calvin who take your money 10sec after you lose, going to the bank to take a cash advance off the credit card to fund you netteller account so they let you play again not to mention seeing Calvin all over his hot chicks, privet jets selling the dream that you'll make millions playing with Bodog. I never had a local cold call 5 times a day send me 6 emails daily begging to fund my account like cris does. Your right online books are much better.

SBR_John · 10-20-06, 12:30 PM

At least with the online books you dont have to endure the whole Tuesday thing. I mean it takes time hitting the bank and driving to the graveyard and waiting for your dropout bookie to roll up in his 07 Lexus with the price sheet still on the back seat window.

BigD · 10-20-06, 12:43 PM

Ya but let's not act like the online world is filled with a bunch of MBA's from Harvard. Plus half of these online book many of the 10 ten that advertise here are in bed with street books more then happy to manage there action for a %. If the online book world was so good filled with such honest people there would no need for a site like SBR to protect the player. No local I every dealt with every shut down operations without paying players and pay day are now on Friday

pags11 · 10-21-06, 01:20 AM

pinnacle
matchbook
