I thought TOW closed 4 months ago. I have no clue what that site is anymore or if functional.
Their function is seeding shit books on the scam.

Is there any particular advantage or disadvantage to a book being located specifically in Costa Rica ?

What really puzzles me is: why do books like pinny or Cris still advertise there? Being mentioned along with BETUS, Royal, the great industry leader BetBet and other shit books that pay enough doesnt look like a good strategy to me lol.

I think they have no other chance.
If some new guy is coming to bet on-line and if he decides to look who is good and who is not (I bet 1 from 50 is not total idiot and does so), he randomly googles to some watchdog.
If we have "n" watchdog sites, but you advertise only on SBR, you have chance 1/n that that guy will see you. If you do advertise on every site your chance is coverging to n/n=1.
So the reason why they advertise there is IMO idiocy of average bettor.

fortunatelly... measured for example by posts at forum (even if we co not count some posting experts )
then we should have parametr w(weight) and the probability will be 1/(w x n)
unfortunatelly the number of bad sites overweight the quality and there are plenty of them much worse than TOW... (and in my country the worst sites HAVE the highest "w" - highest traffic, and they are linked together so it seems they are opinion of the whole world)
Sometimes I post there and try their censorship

I dont know if tow will hold on much longer. Roberto's activety kind of died with the last book to go under and fear that they would come after him for bogus insurance.
He could stage a comeback if he could just learn to avoid slippery books. The problem is slippery books is where the money is at these days.
Touting rookie books at a place where he is trying to build credibility in ratings kind of showed his hand at business smarts. And so far, there is no sign of avoiding the BetUS type thugs that bring so much danger to everyday players. No comeback in sight.

Wonder how long it will be before Herman Munster AKA "RPM" becomes Shrink's newest lackey ? He is great shilling for shit books.

Can someone ask Rob to check his email?
Correct me if I'm wrong but was the Superbowl last Sunday? The bet is graded. Roberto you lost. Kindly send the dime.

Is the Superbowl over? Has March 1st come and gone? Have my last couple of emails to ole roberto asking him to pay up been ignored? Yes to all.
Rob it was a dumb bet. But you did make it right here in this thread. Could you please settle your debt now?

There are very beautiful girls in abundance in CR. They can be a little high strung as far as the 3rd world goes. Im not into the prostitute scene. If you come here for that you should be very careful. Curacao is a much better place for that endeavor and safer too.

I dont think its classy to embarass Roberto from TOW like this. If you guys have business to deal with, do it in private. Not Cool.
