    Did any of you have money in BI? If no, why not.

    If yes did you get paid?

    J7, Lou, John, loshak, jj, bill?

    Check in you gulls. People want to know if your in the same boat as us, bailed prior to the crash and subsequent sinking or knew something before hand to never get on this boat in the first place.

    Thx

    J7 is busy writing his next book on how to open a sportsbook, take the players funds and get away with it. He is writing SSLP's memoirs.

    So many great A rated books...why play with anything but the best and safest? As long as there are books we all agree are the best like 5Dimes, Bookmaker, Legends, Heritage, DSI, Pinny, ect why even waste time with a B or especially a D rated book?

    Dopie said something like, "why would I put money in such a stupid book when there's better books out there"

    Glad to know SBR employees don't even trust their rating system.

    It sure makes you wonder.

    Bet islands was ran by friends of SBR and this site made bet islands the book that they were.

    Only play at "A" rated books

    Really? Then why advertise for B rated books? If you don't trust a B rated book enough to play there yet still waive their flag, you're a penetrating sell out and a crook just like BI.

    I don't hold SBR or John accountable in the least. I'm a grown man can and don't need a scapegoat to sleep at night. I lost money with BI and life goes on. I'm more disgusted at the business model than anything else. John makes a lot of money at the expense of credibility.

    How in good conscious can you, John, give a book a B rating and then when it goes under and steals the funds of the guys paying your bills and the guys that trusted your business and ratings, turn around and say " sucks to be y'all. should only play at books I've rated A or better?"

    Disgusting.

    Some of you guys aren't really thinking about this in business perspective. Just like Kraken the little girlie man. Of course BI and SBR had business going on... just like SBR does business with other books. But SBR had no idea that BI was going under. Krak... you are a clown to think anything other than that. Yes, I'm cracking your nuts cuz you've cracked mine... so stop with the hillbilly threads and cut the sh#$. SBR John had no way of knowing... no one knew. And if they did... they didn't know it until the damage was already done. SBR doesn't hold every books hand... like the way you hold my cok.

    I dont believe that

    But... If true

    SBR's Ratings have ZERO credibility - None , in fact would be fraudulent

    MM,
    I guess I don't care when he said it, The fact he said it is enough for me.

    Basically John is saying BI is good enough for him to accept their ad money and raise their banner. They're good enough to be an affiliate book and get kickbacks on players losses, the same players that came to his site to find a trustworthy book to play at. Yet
    , they're not good enough for him to put HIS own money in and in some weird and contradictory way, they're really not even good enough for a "personal" recommendation because he gave them a B instead of an A , iin spite of the banner. Ya, a bit contradictory and confusing, especially for new guys. And it completely undermines everything this website is supposed to be and stand for.

    TMS,
    I think you missed my point or I did a poor job conveying it. I'm not saying SBR knew of this beforehand and I've said that all along. Nor do I believe they could have done anything to prevent it.

    More so, I believe John has evolved his business to be in complete contradiction to what it started out as. His entire business is one big conflict of interest.

    It would be illogical to think not, based on all the evidence. How large of a piece? That's up for debate. (Not talking about the standard players' losses kickback percentage, but rather on the front end)

    Milmike,no I didn't, at least not before I responded to TMS. I'm still learning how to type on an iPad and I'm painfully slow.

    If what you say is true, if SBR knew something about this beforehand and sat silently on the sidelines as it all unfolded, I don't see how it can't be game over. That would have to be the unforgivable sin for a site that was built on player advocacy.

    SBRmarketing only works with site hits and affiliate referrals.

    Mil mike, is what you are saying true?

    Kraken......from what I've seen........not a single mod.....nor John.....has responded to anything regarding BI since yesterday. SBR brass has obviously decided that at this point in time............not engaging in further conversation regarding BI is the best course of action.
