    I just logged into my account. Not sure if my DNS is just behind or whatever, but I was able to get in. Not that that means anything anymore.

    Thanks -

    Damn, I was hoping to get that free 1/2 point in a few hours and make "air" bets with my monopoly money.

    PS As Shakespeare would say "Et tu SBR". Your betrayal was the unkindest cut of all.

    Excellent. I think SBR's overall response to this has been casual, unconcerned and basically awful. This place was talked up so much as being the future of sports betting and I went there only because of SBR. I didn't need SBR to tell me about Tony, or Mickey, or Spiro, when it comes to those guys track record speaks for itself. But BI was talked up so much they were seen as the next big thing. Now they're the latest last thing and SBR bears as least some of the responsibility. I've learned my lesson, the last time I relied on recommendations from SBR and it's supposed rating guide....was the last time.

    I got some out before the collapse, but should've been a little smarter and just paid the fees, and pulled more out. Hindsight is 20/20... Lesson learned. This seems to repeat itself over and over (wsex, full tilt, etc etc). This is the first time I got shafted personally though so this will stick w me. Next thing you know, one of the bigger "solid" books will pull this. The thing about it is... You have to keep a decent balance in an offshore to make any real money. It is just the nature of it. Until the laws change, this might just be too risky to do. There is no point in betting $50 a game other than just entertainment, which of course you don't need a big balance for.
