    That was a big one. Don't think it would as bad if SBR stuck around with an explanation and took their medicine. Instead there was fukkin tumbleweeds blowing through this place for 6 months and come August everyone came back like business as usual/nothing ever happened.

    You would have had better taste if you made this a highlights of 2013 thread instead of Most Controversial Sportsbook Theft of 2013. Use your head, man. Geez.

    I understand the " syndicate" players were ripped off but what about everyone else? That book is still hanging lines yet still have many payouts that aren't being nor will ever be paid. I around 1k that's still "pending" since June. Yes it's not 30k but I bet if you add up the amounts still pending, it's around that number. They're a still book still operating with a disconnected number and an a$$hole putting in lines.

    LMAO JJ never had any credibility in anything sports betting related anyway but his posts in this thread are just icing on the cake.

    Guy would shoot up with an HIV infested needle if someone paid him 5 bucks.

    You could spin it whatever way you like. I'd like to get back on course though.

    #1 The author of this article, which laughably is on the home page, either has HIS head up his ass or is just dumb.
    #2 JJ Gold comments usually only adds fuel to a burning fire. Whoever it is. Could be the same person who typed this article.

    If BetRev was an " unforgettable fiasco" I wonder what verbiage SBR would have used in the 2012 rendition of Most Controversial Sportsbook Theft, if there was one?

    Have a feeling their will be two or three more books small and big fall before start of baseball. Sucks, but it is the democracy we live in. Most of us American's are forced to play at shit books and a lot of these fail.

    so easy to understand but people are real dumb here

    So if one or two SBR posters suffered with the Bet Rev "unforgettable fiasco" why do you think hundreds of SBR posters who were raped and pillaged by BI move on? Obviously the writer of this piece considers the Bet Rev thing an unforgettable fiasco.

    I take it you both aren't on the same page.

    I appreciate peoples creativeness and being proactive in material. You just have to scratch your head here and wonder why. Maybe the writer was locked up abroad for the past 14 months and wasn't privy to the situation. If so, I apologize for being so critical.

    Yet SBR didnt lower the rating.


    Horrible.

    Ding ding ding we have a winner. But lets all sit hear and condemn betrev LOL

    betislands went bandito in december 2012 and people were still K.O.ed and trying to figure out what hit them well into 2013 so we can technically include betislands into 2013

    change that shit article, like the 23k betrevolution stole can come close to the millions betislands probably stole

    Look how fuk'in classy this douche bag is, the vpn scammer asking if he can buy shit in the store if he turns pro. And is fuk'in clueless enough to ask about it in a thread about a scamming sports book!

    Just one problem vpn lying whore, where the fuk are you really posting from and what charity do you plan on donating to, since you called all SBR charities a "fuk'in scam"?

    The only way to turn pro in the USA is to donate to a charity, so you better get crack a lack'in on those vpn's from the good 'ol U.S of A!

    And Centy dork, try to come up with a better excuse this time, instead of the "whoops I didn't realize I was using a foreign vp network." "Oh boo hoo, you caught me sbr, I tried to make a fuk'in fool outta you and scam my way to free shit."

    No apology to SBR or the good PRO members on here who earn their points the honest way. Just, "Wahhh, I wanna make sure I can get shit if I turn pro!" Do us all a favor and go crawl back under that fuk'in sleaze rock you came out of.

    Shameful

    ...........it's a shame that the people that lost money at BI continue to be ridiculed at SBR, although know many do not frequent this site as much or not at all anymore.

    "Business as usual" is going to be a shameful slogan at SBR forever.

    A post mordem on BI from an industry "watchdog" with intimate knowledge of what happened? What an idea!!! I still struggle to understand how these guys do their little industry report videos and never talk about BI. It would be like if your boss beats the piss out of his secretary one day and they're both still working there in the weeks and months following. It's beyond the elephant in the room.
