    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
    The final straw was when BI confessed to laying off Employees, because if business is going great why lay ppl off??

    Smart people knew it's time to never give this shit house any money, when they see no overnight and late lines, bitching over why lines are not up etc etc. A book with money takes these easy opportunities to get action in, a "book" sitting in a deep hole will act like copying and watching a Pinny line is a big fukkin' deal and will blame it on "risk management".

    Had you posted this before last week warning everyone to leave, Idmake you an appreciation thread. However in hindsight its easy to connect the dots and have 20/20.

    Marco, good for you though fuy, glad you got your money

    I posted as many warnings as I possibly could about how bad BI smelled. Was told I had an "obvious agenda" in return. I guess if my agenda is to sniff out frauds, I do have one. You can only help people who want to be helped. In general, book managers who frequent the forums, and who settle player complaints via private msgs. by paying people off, all while the site operations are going to shit with a million excuses -- those are the guys you look out for. Bet Camelot 10 years ago, and then Bet Phoenix more recently were each the hottest book around with the best staff around in their early years. Until they weren't. Lack of overnight lines, slow line movement, pulling lines from SBRodds, never getting a book to book transfer option....all red flags to me. I'm a conservative guy when it comes to gambling, but you need to be in this age.

    Actually BetPhoenix had a book to book transfer option until they didn't anymore.
    Although the last remaining book they did transfers with they then acquired.

    An equally big red flag: having book to book and then mysteriously ending it.
