    calling them is a nightmare !

    I like them overall, one of only two books I use now, Matchbook being the other. I'm looking to get back into 5D,Greek, and one more, for the last stand.

        Cascade confiscated my balance of around 6 figures. They also took my friends balance which was mid 5 figures even though Lenny confirmed several times that he made the payment.

          Have Bill Dozer look into it, their reputation is very good, there must be a little more to this ?

            They have two phone numbers, no matter which one you call, they tell you to call the other one.

            It can take dozens of calls to get through, then you get the worst hold music ever. Clerks not very well informed. If judging by the phone experience, one would say.... I'm not playing here !

                I tried being more agressive about it on the cascade thread on the prescription and they won't let me post anything about it. They're censoring me so I can't even let people know about it there. I'm trying to be polite as possible.

                  They allowed it with the old software, now it seems it is over.
                  I am at zero there and still not sure if I lost everything or something else happened.

                    I rarely buy points, but wanted to see if it's available, and if goes from +1.5 -105 to +2 -115, or if becomes -120.

                    I don't think you can buy at all.

                    If you parlay you get -110 not -105, halves are at -110.

                    I do like that they have overnite and at -105.

                    I've never cashed out yet. I transfered in from another book about a week ago and I'm close to even. I want to win some and transfer some out to get me a 3rd book.

                        I find it very disturbing how the rx allows all the shills for cascade say how great cascade is and when I post my problem they just censor me.

                          For the question about buying of points :-

                          When you select a bet do you not get a pull-down box in the left half of the screen with options "Buy 0, Buy 1/2, Buy 1" ?

                            Yes,I see it now, it goes to -115 buying a half, good to know you can do it.

                            Thanks

                              Odd since I think Cascade isn't a sponsor presently.

                              I don't know if they are great or not until I ask for a transfer.

                                I heard that one of the owners of the rx is a good friend of Lenny's. That might explain why the rx is so protective of Cascade.

                                    RX likes to censor,edit and delete. The mods are famous for that.

                                        I'd like to hear this also, since I'm playing at Cascade.

                                          I've told you what happened. My money and my friend's money has been confiscated. Lenny even agreed to mediate with the shrink and we started the mediation but when Lenny didn't like how it was going he backed out. He has the money so he doesn't need to mediate.

                                            Pokerking: I'm not calling you a liar or anything like that. You've found SBR. Bill is the man. IMO, what seems lacking is the other side of this story, I see your claim, but no details.

                                            Your story seems to be .... " I had 100k+ at Cascade and Lenny simply erased my balance... methinks there is more to this.

                                            I'm going to try a transfer out of Cascade on Friday, not because of your rather vaque accusation, but because I won , and desire to re-distribute some funds,I'll leave about half, because I want their lines. Mine isn't 100k, but its not $800 either.

                                            I'll update how the transfer goes. If anybody can help you its Bill over Wilheim by a landslide, and Wilheim has helped me before, although he has little pull with a book that doesn't advertise at the RX.

                                              It's very dangerous to have a large balance at Cascade because it's a lot easier to take a few large balance than the smaller balances. I know of another player with a 6 figure balance who Lenny is refusing to pay. The fact that Del-mar has cut ties with Cascade should be a big warning to you.

                                                The Del-mar change is more serious, I concede that. I want to see how well my transfer request is accepted, that will tell a lot, IMO.

                                                I'm going to send you a PM, Pokerking since it's allowed here !

                                                  this should be investigated asap, Cascade is no A shop anymore and Pokerking doesnt sound like an attention whore who posts this 100k thing for fun.

                                                    Anybody notice they didn't hang a line for H2 of Dallas/Houston and left up H2 lines for games well into Q3 ?

                                                    WTF ?

                                                              Well said 707782. The rx has gone way downhill since the shrink left. Their censorship is pathetic.

                                                                        Your story seems to be .... " I had 100k+ at Cascade and Lenny simply erased my balance... methinks there is more to this.

                                                                        I'm going to try a transfer out of Cascade on Friday, not because of your rather vaque accusation, but because I won , and desire to re-distribute some funds,I'll leave about half, because I want their lines. Mine isn't 100k, but its not $800 either.

                                                                        I'll update how the transfer goes. If anybody can help you its Bill over Wilheim by a landslide, and Wilheim has helped me before, although he has little pull with a book that doesn't advertise at the RX.

                                                                        I just got the transfer done, it took a lot of calling Lenny, and the other book owner, but it was done, and Lenny didn't charge me.

                                                                        He has respect of other bookies, that is not easy to earn.

                                                                        3 days for a transfer is not fantastic, but problems exist everywhere you look since 1-11.
