    We Need An Official Statement From SBR

    John,
    We need an official statement from you on what all went down with BetIslands. A sticky at the top of players talk explaining your involvement, when you knew they were done for, etc. None of this, I'll throw a two sentence comment out there here and there. Your company just helped fuk a lot of people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and everyone knows you got a healthy cut before they ran for the hills. If you did nothing wrong, then why not be up front about everything?

    Were you guys doped into thinking that BetIslands had no affiliation with Ez and 7Red?

    Why was no warning given, when undoubtedly you knew before 2 days ago?

    How can anyone give your site credibility anymore?

    Did Justin7 get any of his 85K out, or did he get his shit pushed in like the rest of us?

    You need a serious public relations person, ASAP!

    A wise man once said: "The Truth Will Set You Free..." ironic that it is John 8:32

    Looking forward to any type of statement from SBR...

    they pretty much unofficially made the statement

    they claim they were lied to as well by betislands

    they say they gave them the benefit of the doubt with the processor issues

    not saying you should believe them or not, but it's what was mentioned if you missed it

    cheers

    Yeah, I have to spend 2 hours, reading a dozen threads to get a weaved together assumption. If SBR has nothing to hide, then why are they not talking on center stage?

    Unfortunately, there are so many complaints about mundane shit. I didn't give them any credit. Especially when SBR was promoting BI so heavy and reassuring us there was nothing to worry about.

BI was our smallest forum sponsor and never should have been allowed to be in a position to damage our reputation. We don't need these books and I don't want them. SBR was greedy and turned a blind eye to the reckless bookmaking policies and instead over valued their CS. I'm as equally at fault if not moreso for not asking questions until last Sunday.
    this is also sorta his official statement i believe.

    what we don't need is more clowns like cuse who came into a thread and basically said if walker had no money his wife would skate

    cuse if the money was gone she would actually get to spend time with him

    cuse the guy works more hours by accident than you do all week

    cuse taking shots at family members is as pvssy as it gets

    cuse take a break peel your dikkbeaters off the keyboard and get some fresh air or something boss

    I totally agree here that SBR does need to come out with a statement here that will clear everything up of what involvement they had with these jokers. SBR has been a good site and finding out bad ones from the good ones and one slipped through so I would say it is time for them to admit that they made a mistake here by rating them so high even though the people here liked them and look to do better next time when this comes up again. Come on John, Bill, Shari and other moderators do the right thing here and let us know what happened and move on. I didn't have an account there but I am feeling for the others that had such a stake there and got screwed right before the Christmas holiday and New Years with all these bowl games going on and other things when now they are now wondering what are they going to do now since this went under right around now. That is why I am advocating for you SBR to do the right thing here and do whatever you guys can to help these folks even if it means getting another book to take over for that one and at least recover some of the losses that the players here have gotten here and it will help you on your name also which will benefit you in the long run.

    I honestly dont see any other way a book like BI could be rated so high within such a short period of time unless SBR was getting serious kickbacks from them for all the referrals. Two years ago this book was nowhere on the map.. Hell,..a year ago they were no where.. The last year BI blew up!! Only because of SBR of course,..but if you say you saw all the signs..then why keep the referrals going? Ohh thats right...because
    BI was not a SMALL sponsor..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA...

    PLAYERS,..just ask yourself this..........."SBR REMEMBER THIS"!!!


    HOW MUCH WILL YOU TRUST THOSE SPORTSBOOK RATINGS NOW???





    Cant trust the ratings at SBR now,..couldnt EVER trust the ratings at Covers...VegasInsider still has some JAZZ sportsbooks listed very high...
    So...

    HOW MUCH WILL YOU TRUST THOSE SPORTSBOOK RATINGS NOW???
