1) Jay Cohen said this here at SBR. Maybe one day, but not now, they are the market now.
2) SBRJohn said this here. Consdering tony can't book his way out of a paper bag I doubt it.
3) Considering how many millions they've lost without neteller I highly doubt it.
4) skybook still exists?
5) jj is an idiot
6) yes

yeah he kind of seems like an idiot, but the only thing he's good at is picking winners. like he can just point at the screen and it's a winner automatically.

as for #6, i think it's written here that the ratings are basically paid for. sbr isn't really trying to hide that fact.

7)Betonline is owned by one of the NYC 5 boroughs "crime family's"

8)Online poker has a "kill switch and a Luck switch" on everyone's account and will activate it before and after your deposit

9)All things considered and that we all know your in business to MAKE MONEY-Dozer,Wil and Dr Jack are not bad people BUT Ken is truly a mother****er and is the type who would steal from you and than help you look for the money

10)JJ the POSTER is TWO distinct posters -the one in the videos and a home bound 600lbs women who also wagers but get's a kick out of the antics on the board and videos between her 8 super size value meals at lunch,BUT BOTH DO POST at various times during the day

I remember seeing it at the bottom of the online complaint form. It wasn't that blatant, but said more like ratings are influenced by what they pay or something. I don't really remember

I would love to see photos of a big betting out operation. But I guess it would pretty much look like a bookmaking operation. Linesman calls out the play and clerks get down via Internet accounts. I know that most of this is done over IM now with people all over the world, but there still have to be some places where they bet out like that via clerks.
