    SportsBettingOnline poaching customers

    SportsBettingOnline poaching customers

    SportsBettingOnline is apparently attempting to poach players from other sportsbooks. Three players have reported that SportsBettingOnline has called them saying an account for them was set up at SportsBettingOnline.ag using the details the player initially entered when joining a top rated sportsbook. | Read more

    SBR might want to refrain from abbreviating SportsBettingOnline 'SBO' (as seen in the linked article), as people might confuse it with the far more famous (and reputable) Sports Bookie Online (SBOBet). Just sayin'.

    Anyone who associates SportsBettingOnline with SBOBet after four references of the full name is beyond salvation. It's actually appropriate to abbreviate after the first reference.

    Doesn't this go on daily in this industry? I have been contacted many times by former employees of books with offers to join the new book they represent. And, I get called all the time by new books that had to have gotten my info from one of the books that I have an account at.

    It seems you misread the article. The individual was employed at another sportsbook.

    Lou,
    Thanks for the clarification.

    I couldn't read most of the article because my tin foil hat kept slipping off.
    And as you know, I'll only be protected from the Gravity Shelf if I can quickly sprinkle used coffee grinds into the corners of the room.

    Gotta run, put on baseball cap and look down, sattalite will be overhead in 12 seconds.....

    Glad that guy wasn't banned, guess he just decided to stop posting.
