    Again the facts are what they are…. You choose to think you know all the facts.

    First I did not say Bill D is backing us in any way shape or form. Please re-read what I said…. In fact just the opposite… I said He chose to keep our rating at D or now D+ since he feels the brand is still liable for the incident, while we feel the previous owners are solely liable…. right or wrong. Matter of opinion.

    Thanks for the acknowledgement about our past. It certainly is the reason sportingbet chose to buy us. Considering we are basically back in the same hands, your continued animosity is disappointing. I am not sure what happened immediately after the sale to sportingbet regarding your accounts or anybody’s for that matter…. We were out and there is no way now to determine who was negatively affected. But currently multiple accounts are allowed here as long as not set up to violate wagering limits…. Not that you care……..

    Again you miss the point of what I said.… We did not buy a shit brand, we took back a great brand and industry pioneer due to our unhappiness as well, we just chose to keep silent on the matter for the last few years for obvious reasons… again not that you care, but HW is back bigger and better than ever to ensuring our players enjoy our site from log on to log off.

    We will have to just agree to both be the best we can be at this point..
    About the only major point we agree on is that Hollywood was a top tier Book pre-2006. Then Jazette happened and it soiled your rep, a stain you can't erase today under the guise of new management. Your brand participated in outright theft in '07 & '08, and I find your argument that you have "no way of knowing who was negatively affected" unbelievable. If you want that once great brand name back, along with that A+ rating, then you need to address the thefts (as Dozer said), which you refuse to do. Sure SBR tossed you a bone and raised your rating to a whopping D+, but think of it as an incentive for your promise not to steal again. Hardly the ringing endorsement you make it out to be.

    To those that want what Hollywood (D+) has to offer, I suggest you consider BetUSA (B-) instead. Same great lines, but w/o the thieving history.

    we miss you too robertg but when a suitor comes calling with an offer you can’t refuse, you have to take it. The good news is some of the same ownership is here but yes it is certainly a different time but we continue to do things no one else does. In fact send me a message at hannah@hollywoodsportsbook.com and if interested, we have a special welcome back deal for you



    cheers

    Just do the right thing, if you want to get closer to being a great book again like the old Hollywood was..start paying back the stolen money slowly.
    Without this, you can say or do what you want, people with a brain will always consider your book as high risk.

    Don't do it Rob, Hollywood-107 died in '06. I know because I experienced the before and after. Hey, HW how about a welcome back special for me. I'd like to see my 9k again. Put up or shut up.

    PS Consider a name change to Hollow-Wood--a stiff shop with empty promises.

    Limited on Soccer to $100 but all other experiences have been good, decent bonuses and very quick to pay out on withdrawal, more than happy to go on betting here despite some negative comments.

    I've enjoyed Hollywood from the -107 days, and thru the Jazzette days until recently when my limits were cut very low.

    You will get paid if you play there.

    a business that does not admit up to their past liabilities is not a business that can be considered sufficiently trustworthy going forward, what's the stopping hollywood from stealing again and then again promising another "change in management" and another falsehood statement regarding a prospective player-friendly attitude going forward.

    if you don't admit up to your past mistakes, how can we be able to trust that you will own up to the decisions in the future. in any case, why should we the players have to pay for any of hollywood's possible mismanagement? (even according to your own words)

    I would be as careful listening to any advice from BAUS, as i would be with FH.
    In other words, he doesn't care how crooked the books he plays at are.
    Attracted by bonuses and easy (?) money, when he gets paid there is an adrenaline kick nice enuf to report he likes the book, has always been paid blah blah blah.
    This is easy to find out, i saw posts like that from him for years now, just as i saw when he got stiffed and reported that.
    Has no shame, yea his advice is surely golden

    SIR!! I report everything the way it happens; good or bad.

    Belmont.com stiffed me. Hollywood has not. I had many LARGE payouts from Hollywood in the past 12 months within 24-48 hrs to Moneybookers.

    I probably received enough in payouts from Hollywood to buy Betphoenix!

    When one person has funds confiscated by more than one book, then a light should go on. Can all of these books be wrong or is that one person attempting to gain by circumventing the rules. Think about it.......

    Not sure who you are referring to (if anyone), but I would say you'd have to look at the type of Books this person plays at as well. A risk-taking player may use several sub-C Books where confiscation, rightly or wrongly done, is more likely. Looking at it from a player's perspective, it's much easier to spot a crooked Book. Simply look for multiple confiscations w/o adequate justification. This is Jazette in a nutshell, especially in 2007. Over 90% of their brands participated in the theft spree--including Hollywood.

    casino bonuses aren't bad, how long are payout times? Last time a jazette book paid me by check it was..4+ months at least. Is the only real viable option *** still?

    Quick response from TrixTrix( and I didn't even mention any names in my original comment). The truth must really hurt. Funds confiscated by at least 4 different sportsbooks. I have been in this game over 10 years and never once was not paid or had funds confisicated. Why do all of these books pick on poor TrixTrix. Duh???
