Before you continue giving BJO that-a-boys, take a look at SBR's rating. I don't think you'll be too happy.

KDMJAM2000 · 12-03-07, 12:11 AM

BJO Rating

BJO's current rating is D+ and was previously D- about a month ago until they gave approximately 20 players who were denied their winnings from SBG / BetRoyal an opportunity to transfer their winning balance from SBG; only stipulation is we have to attain 20x rollover prior to being able to request any of our money. Take a look at the article that SBR released on 11/29 that BJO already compensated the first person who attained their 20x rollover. I am 75% of the way there and have more then doubled my initial rollover. BJO's rating was be moving up soon; they are definately on the right track and making all of the right customer service and support moves to increase their customer base.

I posted a while back that SBR would help them rebrand a better name. We own several from different aquisitions made in the past like iSportsbook.com and others. Haven't heard from them yet.

I might have to move into Manhattans village area and style my hair differently to be a Big Juicy Odds player.

Doug · 12-03-07, 02:04 AM

How do people even find this book ? The name is goofy, but more important is a customer base, do they have one ?

Now that is one of the funniest posts I've seen!!

Anyone ever try to register any gambling domain names?? People have taken just about everything.

I guess thats why we are seeing books like LAZER, and BIGJUICY.

When we started at BJO after the Betroyal fiasco, the odds were all -103, indeed BIG AND JUICY. Now the odds are the usual -110, not big and juicy at all.

I feel a sense of loyalty to BJO because they gave me $4500 (subject to the rollover), but I am not sure why someone else has the incentive to go there.

KDMJAM2000 · 12-11-07, 07:50 PM

As a previous BetRoyal / SBG client, I too was one of the 20 or so unfortunate clients who was not refunded my profits with SBG due to their "syndicate" unfounded claim for many of us who pay monthly or annual subscription fees to Sebastian (sports handicapper) and followed his selections to place wagers with SBG.

Fortunately, Big Juicy Odds took the initiative and rolled over our "winnings" into their sports book, requiring a 20x rollover to be able to withdraw any proceeds. I was fortunate enough to more then double my 7K initial "transfer" of winnings from SBG to BJO and attain my 20x rollover (140K) this past Saturday. Charlie Stanton with BJO has been terrific to work with and I have to thank Bill Dozer with SBR for assisting in making this possible for all of us.

I received a portion of my winnings from BJO today and expect another transfer from Western Union tomorrow. I will, however, leave some of my funds with BJO as a show of faith and gratitude for their initiatve in making this all happen.

I will provide an update tomorrow or Thursday on whether I encountered any problems on receiving the remaining portion of what I have requesteed for withdrawal.

Good luck to all of you ex SBG clients who are with BJO; hopefully you are well on your way to attaining the 20x rollover requirement.

Also, the odds at Betroyal ARE -103. The bailout players were put at -110 until they made the 20X rollover. I made it, and my odds are now back to -103.

That is BJO, not Betroyal.

Hap · 12-11-07, 09:37 PM

Yes, thanks. I meant BJO. Why did I say Betroyal? Betroyal is still a bunch of crooks and no one should bet there.

Well, I am hoping that everyone on this forum opens a small account with them and plays weak lines only and immediately withdraws their winnings. MUUUUWWAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHAAAA

i thought there was an i-sportsbook, they probably didn't want to be confused with another.

I like the big juicy name. I would like to help them hire some nice ladies to be the Big Juicy Girls. Think of the radio ad they could do, "*** and play with the Big Juicy Girls at BigJuicyOdds.com"...

Will this books rating be increased based on payouts as more of the players start to hit there 20x roll over?

BJO helped out a bunch of players and also did something good for an industry that has its share of SBG-like scum. Does that automatically get them an upgrade? No. It does get them our attention for sure. But a new broom always sweeps good. We will raise them when we can. The -103 is concerning. We need to talk more with them and figure out what their plan is for making money.

They are off to a nice start. If you are a new book thats all you could hope for.

exstatman · 12-12-07, 01:25 AM

If you want to know how they'll make money, just check the racebook section

"If you make a wager within this 5-minute window, or after the actual post time, any winning bets made will be returned to your account and all losing wagers will stand. These wagers will show as a LOSS in your Bet history."

All losing wagers will stand? Let's suppose they set the clock at 4 minutes to post instead of 5, they'll accept wagers that can only lose. That's a racket, not a racebook.
