if you were to tell me 5 yrs ago that WSEX would go broke one day, i would have laughed at you.. they were bigger than anything, bigger than oly, bigger than CRIS, you name it.. now they are gone.. wow.. who's to say..
it goes to show you that no book is ever safe, not even thegreek or cris. same could happen to them..
there was this book about 6 yrs ago named WWTS.. they were top 3 offshore.. they were solid.. a few yrs ago, they too disappeared.. i could not believe that one.
and in 2001, a book named Aces Gold, who were probably the biggest ever and strongest at that time just like that went broke and stiffed everyone..

you are one lucky dude.. i am the total opposite.. i have been stiffed by about 25 books, no lie...
and as for aces gold, i might have been the luckiest that day.. i swear, i had posted huge money there 4 days before.. i lost it all.. then friday night i called them to send even a way bigger deposit, they told me to call back monday morning for that..i don't know why they said that for.
i wake up monday morning bright and early to send them a big NETeller, and guess what? just before i send it, i opened up MW and saw the headlines..
imagine that.. GOD was with me that day..

what do you expect if a book offers no juice lines and attractive bonusses
no wonder they went broke and stiffed everyone.

Easy to see now, but the no juice lines were just on NFL and just Friday and plenty of people who supposedly knew stuff argued that they wrote enough business on other days to make it a go. The telltale for me was they way they invited in middlers by pretending they didn't know the value of the NFL three.

I stayed away from Aces Gold when I saw that they were letting players buy on/off 3 for 10 cents. I thought they would get killed every time the fav won by 3. They did and Aces Gold closed shop after the super bowl.

having locals that let you buy on/off the 3 in nfl for 10c is the nuts
back on topic, can't really believe wsex has collapsed. remember wwts, they allowed action points up to 50 at any $/point as long as you agreed that would be the standard $/point per every wager
