    For a guy with quite a bit of education seems to be lacking in the common sense department.

    I sure would like to hear from him on this. If it is true $85k is an awful big amount to be owed by these clowns.

    Was "Jon" really that SSLP guy? If so, you really have to question guys like Justin and SBR John's judge of character, who say they knew him personally. Based on that video someone posted of SSLP heading to the Costa Rican whore house, playing with his guns, harassing women, ect... it is obvious the guy was a low life thug. Anyone who thought he could run a legitimate business (financial backer or not) or trusted him in any form has a few screws loose.

    I wasn't paid. While it sucks getting stiffed 85k, this is not a life-changing amount to me. When I accumulated that balance the risk to reward ratio seemed favorable. It's not the first time I've been stiffed, and it won't be the last.

    Yeah, but I imagined they were swayed by all his sharp neck tattoos and the "Fukk Pigs" inked on his digits!

    Isn't that nice. Would you mind donating 85K toward a fund to pay SBR posters who 1K is life-changing?

    You can use the File a sportsbook complaint form if you think you have a pay dispute with a book. This is what I did when a book stiffed me in the past.

    It's him 100%. Don't ask me how I know but there is no question it's him. This is not the first time he bankrupted a book.

    lucky for you. I am out 50k and it is a life changing amount of money to me. My life is dramatically worse off.

    Exactly what I was expecting. I am sure that all the sharps on that list have bankrolls at least ten times bigger then the figures they had at BI.

    Did Justin start that fund yet to get players paid?

    Did he file his SBR Complaint Form?

    I think they are talking with some of the big books, but nobody seems to be interested

    you can't file a complaint against a book that doesn't exist anymore

    What RISK are you referring to? Wasn't this supposed to be a solid book accoring to SBR?
