New BoS management informs us they are considering taking down scam site->

**isetcap** · 03-28-06, 10:32 AM

Considering??? Hmmm, I want to run a legit business so I'm "considering" paying my taxes. I'm also "considering" not bribing government officials anymore. In fact, I'm also giving some "consideration" to not hiring illegal immigrants.

Dominant. Relentless. Exceptional. BETonSTARS are a credt to the profession

I think the mis-spelling leaves no doubt as to who the true author was.

There is only one suspect.

**natrass** · 03-28-06, 10:44 AM

Sorry, I got betonsports mixed up with betonstars.

Ah well, at least I can spell though.

Well, as my poll clearly showed, there are multiple individuals who are under the impression that C-R-E-D-I-T is in fact a 5-letter word.

How gracious of them.

From SportsbookAudit

...BoS aced our 12-point checklist of relevant factors in choosing a sportsbook.

I have managed to gain access to the checklist...

__ Rents office space
__ Partially maintains a staff of at least 2
__ Serves doughnuts at staff meetings
__ Regularly cancels accepted wagers
__ Uses a lottery system to decide which players they will screw
__ Withholds payments to players who win large amounts
__ Offers Kmart level customer service
__ Markets relentlessly with a junkmail campaign that frightens environmentalists
__ Keeps weasels and snakes as company mascots
__ Is contacted often by SBR
__ Refuses to advertise with any legitimate watchdog sites
__ Operates a "watchdog" site that eerily resembles SBR

Based on the sparkling results from this checklist, it appears that BetOnSpurts is indeed running a legitimate watchdog site called sportsbookaudACitY.com

I find it amusing that their blacklist only makes it to the letter "L."

**SBR_John** · 03-28-06, 12:56 PM

isetcap LOL, good stuff!

Actually Mr. X they had copied and pasted the SBR Black List, BetOnSports was ON the SBR Black List at the time. So their scam site had BoS on the Black List too. How gay is that?

We were the one to bring this to their attention. At first they said with a sarcastic laugh that they didnt know what we were talking about. But about an hour later BetOnSports was off the SportsbookAudit Black List. At least those that read this know what kind of people these guys really are.

John, the nice people at BoSpo wanted to show their modest side to offset the glowing review they gave themselves on their review page. It makes sense. If you average out the two ratings, then you come up with the C+ (overrated) that SBR is giving them.

**bigboydan** · 03-28-06, 02:13 PM

if they did that, it would be a step in the right direction thats for sure.

**SBR_John** · 03-28-06, 09:37 PM

Can you imagine a book with class doing something like this? Seriously, like a Pinnacle or a CRIS???? It just shows you that under all the hype these are still garden variety scammers.

**slacker00** · 03-28-06, 11:49 PM

John, have you talked to BOS directly and gotten an explanation about this site? I agree that SBR should be bothered by this obvious ripoff/spoof.

**Dave** · 03-29-06, 01:48 PM

it doesnt do us any good to keep posting a link to their scam site on our sites. All we do is give them traffic and a higher alexa ranking and higher google ranking. The higher there page rank, the more search results they get.

I know its a good idea to let our users know about scams like this, however getting them a higer page rank and more search results will end up having more players getting bad info.

just my 2 cents.

SBA Reviews of the Best Sportsbooks
Graded by focus groups, SBR research and of course by you, the players.
Visit it now

Uh BetOnSports, you may want to take out the "SBR" in that sentence? Thats the trouble when you copy and paste our material. So lets keep it straight you are SBA and we are SBR.

**Mudcat** · 03-29-06, 03:47 PM

Again, this is kinda funny in a look at the inept buffoons fumble around sense - but in another sense it is a serious indication of scamming minds at work, probably to the highest levels of the organization. I don't want scamming, fumbling people like that handling my wagers or anyone else's.

If they stop "considering" taking down this scam site and take it down, and then have, say, a year of uninterrupted good behavior regarding bookmaking issues, I might start to take them seriously. But until then, they will be just another book to firmly steer people away from for me.

**Doug** · 03-29-06, 04:27 PM

Look at the site under "SBA reviews", they slip up and say "SBR" instead of "SBA", that's classic !

**drunkguy** · 03-29-06, 04:33 PM

if this really is BOS (and it seems it is), this is one of the worst things I have seen them pull

**isetcap** · 03-29-06, 05:00 PM

I just can't believe that you guys at SBR would rip off a reputable watchdog site like SBA!!! Come on John, don't you have enough staff to be able to write your own reviews instead of having to cut and paste your material from SportsbookAudacity?!?

Not much of an effort to hide that they ripped it off considering it's got Dozer's name down as the author...

thats perty low!

**SBR_John** · 03-29-06, 08:33 PM

I see BoS has lied to some that have asked them about this scam. Peter Wilson, the Marketing Director, knew, approved and laughed about this site the day it went live. Peter Wilson is STILL there so spare me the new management thing. And now BoS knows nothing?? Insulting.

Think about it...can you imagine a Pinnacle allowing an afiliate to pull something like this even for a second?? They still have zero class.
