Every time I post about a questionable book, the majority response is basically "You dont have to play here, play in these A books instead- Pinny, Greek, Cris, etc."
This may be a good point for some. If you're a casual gambler and need a few books, then this advice is right on the money. Why play a C book if you can play an A book? But for some (like me), this misses the point. Money is made in gambling from soft books, and its not a question of either-or but of how much additional +EV can one get. If I post about a B-F book its because I see something there that will almost certainly make me money that I cannot get from an A book.
I've played at lots of C books, a few D books. I've never been stiffed until Betonsports (and I'm at Betwwts and hoping that one will work out!). But those who say the lesson of Betonsports is not to play at low-rated books are missing the point, because this ignores what people have won at low-rated books.
So while I'd dodge the F- books as these are deemed outright scams, what about the F books? F to F+ is defined as, "caution, extreme risk to players funds. Possibility of a scam." So these F books, what's the story? Does ANYONE make it out alive, presumably no one hears about a book until there is bad news so how do we know some of these books are F's. Not really my point to question the rankings and say that these F's are not F's but that is a consideration. Let's say you use a little common sense, skip the crazy good bonuses and anything that causes alarm bells to go off. What are the chances of say getting into an F book with $1k and being allowed to cash out $4k? Is there a 5% chance you won't get out or is it a 75% chance. I want to learn all the F books- there's a whole unexplored F-World out there!
