ExecutiveSportsbookdr closes and stiffs with player’s money

[bigboydan]

Looks like we have another victim of the CypressSportsbook scam.

ExecutiveSportsbookdr (SBR rating F-) closes with player’s $27,900 balance. The book attracted depositors by working with touts who would build a relationship with the player and then recommend the deposit-only sportsbook. Bettors can expect an increase in scam attempts that utilize Western Union now that Neteller and Citadel are no longer servicing U.S. bettors. Thieves behind Executive Sportsbookdr are likely already preparing to rob bettors under a new sportsbook front.

Good example of why gambling should be legalized. Otherwise there will always be these type of criminals. The only language they understand is an offer they can't refuse. The names of these people need to be out in the public, with pictures, on a website.

Some type of Regulation is likely to happen in the United States.

I certianly agree that it should be legalized in a regulated way with our government. That way the government can say hey here is a book that has a great reputation of not ripping off anyone and the government could say that they got a license to be a book in the United States and then the United States should require them to put a deposit of so much money on hold to pay players with if the book fails. I think we are going to keep having these rip-off books that are scams if they continue this way of trying to prohibit it. I sure don't see this happening with the President we currently have now but when a new President get voted in this may be a possiblity here when they find out that this prohibiting hasn't worked. If a Democrat President gets voted in, I believe that they will make this legal under some type of regulation either run by the countries that have them or the regulation will be ran by some committee in the United States.
