    Uhh no dear I believe you're confused, crappy as in the type of betting site that's taking over 12 weeks to pay, or is this time acceptable with you?

    Why don't you go peruse this topic and report back on what you think of D- websites? http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...3-players.html

    I lost 10k at Betislands and wouldn't have minded a 12 week payout time, so while 12 weeks isn't great, it isn't the worst.

    Crappy is closing up shop with an entire forums money

    Without SBR, Betislands never existed. This is where they made their name, this was their target clientele, this was the place that touted them....

    I'm not bitter

    sportsbook linesmakers basically give you money though. You are better off getting slowpayed or no payed by books that you can beat than trying to beat the best linesmakers.

    With Sportsbook.ag I can say the average joe chooses them because they've been around so long and there website is nice and flashy not to mention easy to use.

    Cliff notes for Natalie, Im not sure you were around

    The above words belong to a high ranking SBR official

    Now that's crappy

    slow pay doesn't mean broke, you gotta remember how many people give up after a certain time after getting no where with payouts

    I will tell you why Natalia. I put money in a B rated bookie being sure that the bookie is safe, just after couple of months I've found myself in the same boat waiting for my withdraw to be processed for about 10 weeks.

    SBR is most of the time slow to update the bookies ratings, and they only update them when something bad happens. We would like to see ratings updated before something bad has already happened, that would really help bettors and prevent many troubles.

    I think a lot more time goes into it than most realize. Here is a log of all rating changes: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/upgrade-archive/

    Not really, I did my research, SBR rating was B-, yea I was unlucky cos just couple of weeks later SBR downgraded the ratings to C-. But my point still stays. SBR has reacted AFTER ppl have started to complaint about the slow pay. It would be really useful if SBR can warn users BEFORE a certain bookie gets into troubles. Probably difficult but I guess SBR must be able to get some information using the connections with bookies they have.

    lol i think everyone would love to beable to see the future.....

    think the only connection sbr have with the bookies is sbr toss goodies about the book on their website and the bookie tosses the benjamins into their pocket....you know just like the majority of others on here no that sbr is a business, they could care less if it takes 10 weeks for you to get their money...the bookies pay them and thats all that matters to them.....
