    WSEX Sportsbook down for the count?

    WSEX Sportsbook down for the count?

    WSEX (SBR rating F) is not offering betting lines on any market and its live help application is off-line. The WSEX phones are operational however an automated message indicates the hold time is 125 minutes. An SBR analyst is presently attempting to connect with WSEX support. SBR will update this report as more information becomes available. | Read more

    I got a check on March 25th. Maybe that was their going away present? Seem to be incommunicado for days. I suspect the person holding will be holding for a LONG time.

    You will probably get an answer faster at WSEX than at BI

    I can add they haven't graded yesterdays baseball games.

    I kept playing but never asking for a payout at WSEX for obvious reasons.
    Now I may be the only one thinking this way but I've always assumed if they reached a point where they had to close their doors, they would sell the WSEX domain name for ZILLIONS of dollars and pay everybody off.

    I AM kinda torn because one time I was down to TEN BUCKS in my account and then ran it back up to a $1000
    I guess today I'm hoping for my analogy of selling the WSEX name to be correct

    They did grade the NCAA Championship game, however. It seems like some of their operation is on autopilot, some not. They graded a golf bet from this weekend, but still haven't graded one from 2 weeks ago. I Hope to G-d you're right about some legit place taking them over, but that should have been done years ago.

    Can't imagine they had too many/any depositors. But if you had a balance there, that you couldn't get it out except in extreme dribs and drabs over the years, why not play, hopefully get lucky and lose, although unfortunately it was tough to lose there. There are still some betting options left. Maybe I can max bet the Raptors, Kings, Magic, Suns, Cavs, Robert Guerrero, and Zab Judah and have the satisfaction of "losing" some paper money back to them.

    NO.... they got a small judgement in the millions. They were sueing for billions. So now Antigua is countering by now threatening to produce and distribute copyrighted and patented materials on the grounds that the US violated the international agreement affecting their national gaming economy so they no longer have to honor copyrights and patents. The US recently responded to this within the last few months threatening financial retaliation against Antigua. This will be very interesting to say the least... guess you will see copies of movies and games and software for a fraction of its retail cost coming out of Antigua.

    It was fun beating them to movement and nailing in-game lines on big plays.
    RIP WSEX.

    They slow-paid me $300 for about 2 months..... then when I read on here they owed players more than a million $1,000,000 I told them to pay up immediately or I was going to call Interpol... I received my withdrawal via moneybookers later that day.
