It's a NEW BEtOnline. There has been a change in shareholders and a new executive team put in, including myself as CMO, one of the world's TOP linesguys who's not afraid of taking almost ANYONE's action, a super solid CTO who was one of the first in the online sportsbook business and a top notch CFO who can make sense out the chaos we've bought into/inherited/uncovered.
And we have Clive as CEO, the ONE GUY who stood up for BOS' players while all the shit came down. The one guy who stayed and worked and fought to get players paid. That BoS turned into a Ball of Shit is true--Clive was the one guy who stayed to sort it out. Ask Calvin. Ask Mickey. Ask Luke. HE didn't take your money then--and we're not doing it now. We've got a much longer term view.
Hence we HAVE removed the reduced limits on EVERYBODY in the book. The nonsense of "make up figures" and "wait screens" ALL GONE. 100%. And we're launching dime lines for MLB.
I've been working with these guys for 6 months now. I've personally met the owners and know and trust them. We all share the same vision--offer a book with great prices and superior service and, over time, we'll have a decent margin and make some cash. Bill and Shannon have met all of us, and we're in the process of getting with all of the key forums and other sports sites.
We WILL disagree on points, as we are now disputing a futures call with a player. That happens in this business, especially when you have smart guys on both ends. Will we occasionally disappoint? Count on it--shit happens outside of our control and none of of us are happy. But we'll sort it
But will we consistently and persistently work to be a new, exciting, fun, viable option for sports bettors? That you can bet on.
I signed on 'cause these guys aren't amateurs who got lucky, they're NOT the guys from the streets who came online; they are seasoned experienced online industry vets from around the world who came together to service the most exciting sports betting market in the world. That's why I signed up and moved my family over and hung onto the rollercoaster of change the past few months.
You ALWAYS have a choice. With us you have one more. Prefer to take your cash out and sit on the sidelines for now and see how we do? No worries, come on back anytime, your choice. Want to play with us and work with us to make the best book on the planet? You're input is always welcome, we will listen. We won't always be able to act on everything--the exec team is very focused on the US hence no ewallets... we're chasing mainly square action so no book-to-book...YET. But these elements of the offering will evolve.
And when you request your payout, we will always pay.
