Legends Sports player balances to be assumed

[AlwaysDrawing]

Dude, sorry to hear that.

Have you called them? Ask to speak with Judy

What number can you get through to a person on?

[RonPaul2008]

Disconcerting that this has not happened yet.

Agree but they said 24-48 hrs. so tommorow will be pissed off time.

They could make the announcement and then say that the plan will be implemented in X amount of time...

[raydog]

todays rumor is dsi...which is cris...which is the absolute best possible scenario..

of course, its just a rumor.

Did they disconnect the 800-246-9828 today?

It worked when I called last week

Man I hope that rumor is correct raydog.

The menus are up but the call disconnects once the menus end.

SBR brass certainly knows more than we peons...please enlighten us...

another issue arising the same day, April 17, involving Bodog...

[bubblebuttluv]

Don't tell me you believe that Snow on da Bluff is a documentary.

That shit's real, homie. I saw White Hat rollin' in Fulton county the other day.

didnt sbr say it wouldnt effect anything when all this went down a few weeks back? lol they arent going to tell anything if they did know

but to be fair, U.S. players shouldnt need to be told since writing was on the wall something was going to happen

[shaunovery]

sbr knew over a week ago when they removed legends from there sportsbook cash option in the store

not sure what you expect them to know... they, like the rest of the world, they had no clue what was going to happen to legends, nor do they know what bodog is going to do on a daily basis...that company is whack

you guys that are under the impression that these forum owners know what the fukk is going on, are being completely ignorant, unfortunately... sbr doesnt have shit to do with where legends accts go, nor did they have any say so with a book cutting ties with moneybookers

shaunovery, they cut legends money the day the shit hit the fan...

[fitguy67]

sbr knew over a week ago when they removed legends from there sportsbook cash option in the store

'nother interesting development: not long before SBR dropped the "points to cash" option at Legends...it dropped the "points to Moneybookers cash" option

close confluence of lots of possibly-unrelated occurrences...in the face of a deafening silence by our "watchdog"

if SBR brass really "know nothing" (brings to mind Sgt. Schultz on Hogan's Heroes) of any substance... then they should at least come on and tell us that...rather than let us twist in the wind while getting increasingly receptive to conspiratorial theories--as we are now

[MBENZ]

No way SBR takes the rap for this fiasco.This also wasn't some elaborate plan by Legends to close up shop with everybodys funds.Even after taking part of my money out last week and leaving part in I truly believed these guys wouldn't shut down and I still believe that our funds will go to a decent book.These guys were always good for the money and even with the heat on them now they will go out as standup.

[raydog]

lolz...you think sbr knew something and legends, along with spiros and other bigs in the business knew nothing? .. please fukking stop, man . ... you are killing me

If they knew, how did so much people got captured? I guess that if you know they are coming for you, you would flee the country.

But they got Spiro, and the other guy on Miami, and few others.

[Ballpark]

It would just be good to hear something.
The longer it drags on, the worse it looks for a bailout (if you want to call it that).

CS were answering emails yesterday. Today nothing.

melo, thats what im saying...nobody had any idea what was coming...yet the conspiracy morons here think sbr always knows ahead of time and that they are always involved in shit... i hate to laugh, because i know they are worried about their money, but good grief...

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Somewhere inbetween what the conspiracy theorists believe and what SBR says, is the truth. Sweep predicted the BI fiasco well-before it went down. Another poster told posters to get their money out of Legends ASAP. Maybe if SBR were a bit more investigative, they might act instead of constantly reacting. If only SBR were offshore, where all the action is.

this happened the morning of all the busts and was all over the news...not before...again, good grief

[ChewFu]

We are in the process of negotiating to have an A rated sports book assume the balances...We would like to assure you that all funds are perfectly safe and secure. Any unsettled bets will be honored and settled by the provider assuming your account.

How can they make assurances about the safety of funds when negotiations are ongoing with this mystery book? What if the A rated (by whom? Legendz itself/SBR/Santa Claus?) book decides it doesn't fancy taking on the new accounts?

Hopefully the wording stems from there being a contingency plan in place all along, with the 24-48 hours being needed to transfer/merge accounts, and isn't just speculation that one of the major books might want to take the accounts on.

Ray, it was before the Legends transfer issue occurred. The point is, this poster was on it before SBR was. Good grief.

not worth arguing, but no, he wasnt breaking huge news or "on" to anything...he started the thread after all the news came out and there were plenty of threads about the busts... it was nothing earth shattering...and he didnt have any inside info... he read about the bust and started a thread... what is it that you think sbr should have done??? there were threads all over the forums... did sbr need to start one more with the exact same info? they know as much as you or i do

[mighty maron]

Hindsight Bias is in play. The BI poster who predicted it had tell tale signs that were apperant. The legends situation was less so because who could believe that an A+ book would risk assets in the geographic USA.

For every poster that predicted it right were at least the same amount of posters who cried wolf incorrectly...

[bubblebuttluv]

What exactly saves a sportsbook from being shut down by the f*cking U.S. government? Is 5Dimes going to be shut down too?

1. Not having assets in the geographic USA or bank accounts within reach

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Ray, if SBR started a thread with the exact information that was shared, it would have been worth more. SBR knows more than they let on and I find it difficult to believe that someone could truly believe that they know as much as the next poster. There is a variable in the equation that is quite revealing. BI, LEGENDS, and all of the other books do not pay me or you advertising dollars. If you don't believe that getting paid by a sponser creates a bias, then I can't say much more. Maybe you should check out Lou's lightspeed response in the Bet Revolution case and then ask yourself why this level of response is not the norm? Then, ask yourself, if Bet Revolution was a sponser, would Lou have responded in the same manner? And before someone says it, SBR is not picky on who pays the bills. Justin7 famously buried a paid advertiser for being a scammer.

players really shouldnt need any more info than what was already known

should have ask for payouts that day...if players rolled the dice and waited, well...

Bookmaker had assets in U.S. siezed and yet somehow they still carry on.I think the correct answer would be not have too much of your funds in geographic USA.

[bubblebuttluv]

But is 5Dimes still looking good? I really don't want to have to go looking for a local because I've never done that before. I'm a college kid and I have only been betting for a few months.

[raydog]

higherelement... there is no doubt sbr is biased towards advertisers... but you people keep comparing BI to Legends and its fall out of the chair hilarious when you do... there is NOTHING about the 2 that is even comparable... please tell me you realize this... sbr wouldnt and shouldnt have come out saying "get your money out of legends" .. sure, the writing was there, but there was also nothing definite and legends would still be in business and processing payment if their license wasnt revoked... people, you arent losing your money! what you do with it after the transfer, is up to you.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Ray,

If you read my comments, you will see that the context of stating BI and Legends was not to compare each other or insinuate that they are the same situation. Rather, I mentioned both to demonstrate SBR's informational role, or lack thereof.

Please keep the discussion within the context of what I said. You are quick to give SBR a free pass. I am arguing that SBR knows more than the average poster, which you stated.

[spankie]

raydog,

i don't mean to startle you

BUT i heard legends was behind the boston marathon attack.

i would be VERY afraid that they have personal information of SBR posters!

5D ever goes I'll probably stop gambling.
