Stan James Acquires Betdirect

[bigboydan]

I know Stan James wasn't too fond of U.S. players way back when we could actually play there about a year and a half ago.

I have to wonder how this integration process will go.

Stan James Acquires Betdirect

32Red Plc has announced that it is to sell betdirect to Stan James in a deal worth £5.75m. The sale includes the betdirect brand, customer database and certain assets of the betdirect business.

Contracts were exchanged last night and expectations are that both parties wish to complete the transaction by December 10, 2007.

Ed Ware CEO 32Red stated, “We are pleased to announce the sale of betdirect to such an established and reputable company within the industry and in Gibraltar. We are working with the Stan James team to ensure that the integration and migration of betdirect is as smooth as possible.

“The sale of betdirect enables us to re-focus on our core and resonant 32Red brand and to maximize opportunities to develop our international reach and launch new products and services.”

32Red confirmed that it will continue to offer its online sportsbetting and gaming services.

My online limit at Stan James is currently 49 eurocents. I called in Baseball Playoffs and had one bet accepted for up to $100 Euros. It was truly a ego pumping experience.

My online limit at Stan James is currently 49 eurocents.

At least it's .48 cents higher than my current Pinnacle limits.

God I miss playing at Pinnacle.

stanjames is not a good book and i would never recommend them

their interface sucks and not geared towards anything other than the English market

stanjames is too old outdated and has not caught up with the rest of the worlds betting community

A fair book. They used to be one of the few Euro-focused books to take Americans but very limited offerings. I remember they had 30 cent NBA sides.

[Vietbet]

Good Book
Good offerings
The 2 Euro limits on NFL and NBA are a little tough to overcome

Did Pinnacle cut your limits or is that they are not offered to the US?

Sounds like -Losers come on here ?
I suppose it will be the new moto of this Gibraltar bookmaker.

[GoodOldTed]

that's British bookmaking for you... won't find too many who don't do that, just depends how much you take off them in the first place.

Probably not getting the full story, Eastern European countries are filled with poor people, gypsies, scammers and the lot - undesirables basically, Stan James is a class act and has no need to do business undesirables.

I wouldn't be surpriesd if the op left out some important facts.

All British/european books do that eventually if you're winning, just varies in teh length of time they take. Stan usually just limit you to near nothing though.

This post makes BetPlom cry.

Your post makes me scratch my head

Durito, since perception is clearly a weakness of yours I'll give you a heads up on this one, my response to the op was in jest.

Scammers usually become very upset when confronted, he took the bait.

Did you know how many millionaires we have in Russia? 100times more than in your country.

Unless you are a millionaire yourself this stat is unimpressive.

You think we are poor-but my laptop is for 2000$ yours ?

My laptop is worth much less because prices here tend to decrease over time on technology items, I spent less on my laptop and it is probably newer with more features.

How many times Russia beat Canada on hockey,so be quiet and fair when you didnt understand problems of our region!!!

It's been a while since Russia has beaten Canada in hockey for a medal/title game. Canada has won the world junior championships 5 straight years.

PS: I'm in Canada - not the USA - we are two different countries.
