Is Bet Royal Safe now?

[curious]

I just started betting seriously on baseball a short time ago. Unfortunately, I opened an account at Bet Royal on the same day that they sold out to SBG. Funny that they didn't mention that fact to me when I opened the account. Anyway, I have not made any withdrawels yet and I am wondering if other Bet Royal customers are satisfied with the new owners/set up/etc.

Any outstanding unresolved issues?

They are ok, going through sale still so might be some slight delays.

Both the old Royal and SBG are books with shady histories. Different people will rank their relative safety in different ways.

Personally, I am disappointed at the change. I did very well at Royal over the years and never had a problem. I'm still trying to work out what the change is going to mean to my action. But I'm drifting away from the specific topic which is safety.

Bottom line: neither book is a place to go if you're looking for safety. They should both be pretty far down any sensible player's list. If they've got something else you are willing to take some risk to get then fine. But if safety is a high priority, there are a hell of a lot of books you should go to before SBG/Royal.

I do not think though any no pays at either book that I have read or heard.

Wasn't it SBG that stiffed Walters?
