Nobody knows how deep their pockets are or how much money they have. Jon fired all of his employees and hired all new personnel having them use the names of the former employees. This is the reason that they have been having contact problems and it's not due to upgrades as stated by Jon.
    Good luck if you stay, I have no reason to believe that they will be able to honer their debts anymore. I am going back to 5 Dimes. By the way, Taxer is Jon.
    he saw it he warned everybody... amazing. If this guy knew it how come sbr didn't know ?

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbook...etislands.html

    Our payouts have been going out like clockwork and we are currently upgrading our software so that we may offer a larger betting cart , overnight lines on all mayor sports , adding tracks to our racebook.

    Far from folding we are actually trying to upgrade and expand our services.

    Cheers
    What a liar and a thief. He wanted to attract more deposits so he could load his pockets before closing shop.

    dark horse didn't listen and now he is a victim but he does have a point here regarding arrests and names.

    I hope KMarino and others that were shilling BI hard lost tons of money. On the other hand I feel sorry for those that bought into the idea that BI was a solid shop and lost money without shilling them.

He also said they would be a big anoucement today on the sbr page. He told me a bit about it but I will wait till it comes out. All I can say is they are more stable now then ever and this upgrade will surpass the other big books.

    Funny reading these comments now , and you blame SBR . Most would have confused you as a being a shill.

    I liked how jon from bi knew the ip of the OP. Just shows how good friends with sbr he is especially now that they are protecting him by deleting pics and videos with him.
