If BOS steals from you, sue them. SBR will pay all legal fees:

Now that's what you call putting your money where your mouth is.

Nice to see a gaming site taking a stand for the good of the industry rather than simply trying to line their own pockets.

Mudcat · 06-16-06, 06:00 PM

That's an interesting new development.

Chuck Sims · 06-16-06, 06:20 PM

Once again SportsBookReview shows why they are far away the watchdog site for players. John, I hope traffic increases 10x for your efferts against a giant sportsbook who has been ripping players off for years.

bigboydan · 06-16-06, 06:21 PM

thats a very nice offer your extending john. i wonder who will be the first one to accept the offer.

Dark Horse · 06-16-06, 06:35 PM

Very impressive. Great stuff guys.

SwampyJ · 06-16-06, 06:52 PM

John, I am totally shocked and amazed at your gesture. In my short time dealing with books, forums and affiliates, I had begun to think that everyone involved were in it for themselves and did not care about the individual bettor. This huge gesture has alleviated a lot of those fears and anxieties.

Thank you,

Jack Jouette

We consider this a real threat to the industry. There have been a about a dozen real complaints in the past week and this is the slowest time of the year.

Imagine how many complaints there will be in September if BOS continues their policy to confiscate winnings based on obsecure syndicate rules?

BOS policy has to change. If they book the bet, they damn sure better pay the bet and not try to welch citing an obsecure rule.

Doug · 06-16-06, 07:19 PM

I'll fund my accounts if John throws in airfare and a 5* hotel.

Welcome to the forum Swampy!

Very nice John. Im just wondering who will prosue a lawsuit against BOS. But with SBR's help, it could make things a little more easier for them.

Welcome to SBR SwampyJ.

Doug if you can find a 5star hotel in Antigua let me know. I'm happy to just get a room with A/C when I go there. Once I found a room with a TV, black & white of course.

Blue Waters Resort & Spa, Antigua & Barbuda

http://www.bluewaters.net/

Located in the Dominican Republic's Cap Cana, a boutique resort that presents 34 Suites & Villas with private pools, and 26 Two Bedroom Beachfront Suites.

When I went over for the England test series, stayed there. Nice hotel.

Not sure how many *'s officially, but there are a number of decent hotels there.

Patrick McIrish · 06-16-06, 10:23 PM

Damn, SBR stepping up big time again. Props.

isetcap · 06-16-06, 10:39 PM

John, I think it's inappropriate for you to be Curt Shilling for the judicial system in Antigua and Barbuda just because you have some lawyer friends and judges that work out there.

goldengoat · 06-17-06, 02:29 AM

go get em sbr

BadAzz · 06-17-06, 02:37 AM

This is what I call a watchdog. Excellent gesture and it put's SBR in a class of their own. SBR actually does things. Honorable mention to The Shrink thought, for paying Artie.

SBR_John · 06-17-06, 02:38 AM

Why is it inapproriate isetcap?

I know and BOS knows that players they cheat for lets say $4,000 can not afford to hire a lawyer and sue them. Well, now they can.

We are making it clear that there are no more free passes to pencil whipping players. The goal is to stop this confiscation policy of theirs right here and right now.

We are fighting them with every thing we have because its time to make a stand and apparently we will get no help from our friends. We are making our stand now. Time will tell if we can stop these complaints/change their policy.

I'm just kidding on all levels with this one, John. All joking aside, this is an excellent idea. I'd love to have a case go to court.

Mudcat · 06-17-06, 10:46 AM

Man it would be great if someone went for this.

If you were suing them, I wonder if you could include your travel costs, SBR's legal costs - and maybe even punitve damages (!!!) - in your requested settlement figure.

Any Antiguan and Barbudan legal experts on board?

I agree,I would love to see someone take advantage of the very generous SBR offer and kick the shit out of BoS in court

Nice job SBR John

Mudcat · 06-17-06, 10:58 AM

Maybe factor some pain and suffering into the settlement equation.

I doubt BOS would let it go to court anyway. From what I can gather from the forums - and applying the considerable expertise I have gained from watching a lot of Law and Order - I would think they would realize they didn't have a leg to stand on and would have to settle.

tacomax · 06-24-06, 12:45 PM

Any takers for this?

And any update on the other cases of theft aside from the one bailed out by The Shrink?

custer · 06-24-06, 01:19 PM

I've been reading over here since Hollywood was bought and I needed information. Don't know why I wasn't reading before. Good, informative stuff.

Thanks guys.

There should be an edit buttun directly below your post. BTW, welcome to SBR.

Bump for Thundercat

Chuck Sims · 07-13-06, 10:47 PM

Certainly a downgrade of the BetOnSports/Millennium Crime Family is in order for the lastest stiff job. According to player Millennium stiffed him for the tune of $20,000.

No need to ever ask how BOS/Millennium can give 50% bonuses on $10,000 deposits. They just steal it back if you win.

Doug · 07-13-06, 10:59 PM

Yep, Chuck ! That cat should get over here quick, RX ain't gonna get him the $$$. He'd be a great test case. He is sure to be here soon enough.

You goin to BASH, Chuck ?

ThunderCat13 · 07-14-06, 03:58 AM

Doug

Thank you for inviting me to the forum and this thread.

http://forum.therx.com/showthread.php?t=389520

This is in reference to Millenium/BOS outright stealing 20k from me. I would like to pursue legal action thru you. I am willing to travel to Antigua to seek justice. In that case, not only will I sue them for 20k, but my friend who lost the 20k he bet on Washington Nationals, when I won 4.7k on the other side, will also sue for his loss, coz they closed his accnt immediately after taking the bets. Had he won, they would not have paid him. I won 4.7k, they paid me at that time, only to steal 20k from me after my 240k+ roll over was complete.

It's a very complex case from what I know of it. It will take some time to review everything.
