I wonder which websites these were and who these guys are on SBR.

[Nick Papageorgio]

Rossi, I have heard that last name associated with a book before. Can't remember which one? Was a customer service guy, wonder if they are linked.

3rd guy pictured was defiantly an SBR member.(picture 4 on slide show)

Bookies got caught. There's more where they came from.

[Statman]

Man - that's a nice handle they had. I wonder who blew the whistle on these guys?

[Gooleez21]

What site was it??

[jjgold]

wow big time operation there

[Capybara]

Once again it makes me wonder about the legality issues, which always confuse me. So they broke the law because they are Americans, where it is illegal to gamble outside of reservations and Vegas.

But it is legal for us Americans to gamble our money at the Costa Rica books because gambling is legal there?

Never gotten a clear answer on this stuff.

[jjgold]

always ends up not worth it

[TEXAS MICKEY]

Sounds like a Pay Per Head operation through Locals.

PPH has gotten to be the Amway of Bookies.

Pyramid Scheme unless you go out on your own.

[pavyracer]

927 million bets on NFL in one season? It has to be a big Costa Rican book. Does 5dimes even do that much action in 5 months of football season? That's 50 million every Sunday on 14 games.

[TEXAS MICKEY]

It's gotta be locals using PPH software. And that's where the pyramid scheme comes in. I set you up and you play with me, then you go out and get some players under you and your man gives you 25% of your guys losses, rinse, wash and repeat. Gets bigger and bigger.
It's not one of the sponsored type books here at SBR.
Not many gamblers here going through agents for a 5Dimes account, you post up and then wait to get your money when you cash.

[cankid]

those are some big numbers

[TheMoneyShot]

All 4 of them photoed look like broke dik fuks.

Is this story even real?

Probably paid crisis actors again.

[RudyRuetigger]

is this another false flag by the government?????

[TEXAS MICKEY]

is this another false flag by the government?????

Nah............just another disgruntled degenerate that couldn't nut up to pay the Man, so he rat's him out, and it goes up from there.

I was just kidding given saloon threads

[TEXAS MICKEY]

^
I understand, just too many guys involved in the bust on US soil, to be any regular offshore type house.
These sponsored offshores here on SBR, you post up individually and get paid (if you get paid) by them individually.
This bust had to much money and too many people involved, not to be locals on a PPH plan.

I believe it is Wager123

[sweethook]

oh this is bad

Online Gambling is illegal. You bet you go to prison.

That's what I was thinking. Assumed it was a big time site for those numbers.

[sweep]

#'s are way off....when they pop you they combine the risk/win numbers to make it look way bigger than it actually is. Trust me, I know first hand. Legit number is prob 2/3rds of stated whole figure, Fukk the feds


If your sheet took in $50,000 in action and $49,000 was paid out the crooked ass feds tally your sheet @ $99,000 instead of +$1,000.......Numbers get astronomical that way. Trust me, These cocksuckers have been on my front doorstep. All thieves

[slayer14]

Costa Rican bookies lack the facilities really so people have to look elsewhere to bet.
