    Is this another RED FLAG for this operation?

        If no banner, expect their SBR GRADE to be dropping within the next 1-7 days.

          Fishhead you were one of their biggest supporters a few months ago? They stop throwing you a bonus?

            Yes on your first question...............

            No on your second question............

            I slowly began to see what I thought were warning signs and the book steadily moved their way down on my list of top books.


            I was offered a very lucrative bonus a couple weeks ago and declined...........overall, I'm down a tad there lifetime.


            They are a shop with many great offers............contests, bonuses, types of wagers, etc., etc., etc.

            I wish them absolutely nothing but the best, they have treated my beautifully in my time spent there and hope they become a top notch shop for all of us as time passes.

              This is what happens to off shore books that take a hit. They have no way of recovering their losses, like the books in Vegas casino's have. Everytime they take a major hit, you will see something like this happen. This is what happensw to books that have limited cash resources. They may bounce back eventually.

                    I love the sportsbook forum..........at least your dealing with posters that actually wager.

                      I think they still have a place in my betting scheme but they will never be my only out or my preferred out. They tend to deal with some things a real bush league manner and I noticed this a year ago when I first dealt with them

                        I hope this isn't true. I've never deposited there, but am working my way through the rollover of a freeplay I purchased with the SBR points. I'd never played before there and used the points as an excuse to check them out. I like the interface and appreciate that they offer 2H lines right away. I would consider depositing there in the future, but these threads give me some pause.

                          They payed me before but too many bad posts. They are still a part of SBR store though, when that goes away, stop dealing with them.

                            Alot of the bad publicity is uncalled for,I've yet to see a thread where somebody didn't get paid who was playing straight.They bit off more than they could chew with the reduced juice and rediculous bonuses but they are straightening that out.I think given time,these guys will be ok.

                              I checked into this book. They are in trouble and I would NEVER put one red cent in with them. They are not what I would call a decent book by no means!!!

                                If they can't afford a cheap banner at a website they won't be in business for much longer. This is a big red flag.

                                  I still think they have server issues. Wonder how many customers this cost them?

                                      Seemed like a poor business plan from the start. They offered wayy too much.

                                        No - BetPhoenix had issues with their banner service again.

                                                The Phoenix sportsbook is fine. Rating is unchanged. Marketing, banner serving, and working with books on contests, poker and things for our posters to do changes what banners that might be at top from month to month. We had to switch up a contest and remove a banner due to banner issues again. Unlike other forums, SBRforum is part of a network of sites and changing banners or rotating multiple sponsors is not significant.

                                                Tobias, Each banner is served from the sponsors server and if it is not working correctly will give users a bad page.

Marketing, banner serving, and working with books on contests, poker and things for our posters to do changes what banners that might be at top from month to month. We had to switch up a contest and remove a banner due to banner issues again. Unlike other forums, SBRforum is part of a network of sites and changing banners or rotating multiple sponsors is not significant.

                                                          Tobias, Each banner is served from the sponsors server and if it is not working correctly will give users a bad page.

                                                          yeah usually has to do with hosting or tracking software.. all of these banners have analytics and a lot of time its a 3rd party issue..

                                                            They took away my -105 lines today. I am as good as done there.

                                                            I think Phoenix have realised that their future is as a book for recreational players. They have way too many stale lines to be able to compete with Pinny as a low juice ´pro´ book. No hard feelings (I lost there overall) but at -110 lines and reduced limits they have nothing that I can´t get elsewhere.

                                                            I wouldn´t be surprised if they kept their rating despite pulling their ads.

                                                              You should really look outside Player´s Talk now and again.
