    Small sites that have no traffic often spread offshore rumors and try to drum up interest. GIQ is nothing more than another posting forum Enquirer.

    Curious, why is GIQ so unreliable ? Jazz was a sponsor there and they pulled them and posted this story.

    Now I consider SBR the leader in offshore news, and generally above question. Are there books rated here I have had different experiences with, sure, but overall you guys are best.

    My question is why slam a smaller competitor...if GIQ was looking just for a traffic builder why not pull this 2 years ago when they opened ? They are fairly low profile with a solid group of loyalist..this story ain't making them the talk of the industry.

    A more cynical person might think it's sour grapes over the betonline story there. BO remains a sponsor here and highly rated. I don't think that's the case of course..but what incentive is there for Dirty to post completely bogus stories about a shop the site had a relationship with.

    Nobody is being slammed. Just acknowledging that 'rumors' tend to be more plentiful from staff at sites with less of a draw. You can read into that if you like, but there's really nothing more to it than that.

    Umm...your posting GIQ is nothing more than a "posting forum enquirer" doesn't leave much to read into...it's a fairly cut and dry statement, unless of course your consider the Enquirer a legit news source.

    I have never seen this site but went to read this article. The books that advertise there seem to be only top notch books, no BetEd's or Bodog's (keep in mind I just scanned for 5mins).

    I think that has to say something positive about their site.

    I can't find the article on their site. What is it? What does it say? (Assuming SBR doesn't censor it.)

    Well....just saw Sportsbook.com on their site, advertised as a "trusted sportsbook".

    That lowers their credibility if you ask me.

    GIQ touted Heroes, and admitted they screwed up. Since then they changed things up and went with solid books. Say what you will about sportsbook.com, many sites fly their banner.

    My 2 cents is that Jazz is a safe out

    And SBR hates bookmaker by that train of thought...never saw anyone at therx call out CRIS/Bookmaker in some time. It was well known Shrink had a agenda with Skybook, appears he had some valid points.

    Dirty made it clear this wasn't yet effecting post up players at Jazz in this thread. But if an agent stiffed a large number of clients, the book is going to need to pay..eventually that could impact the post up side.

    Why would Jazz be responsible if some scumbag agent stiffed his players.

    Will someone link the article or post the rumor?

    Jazz had an agent who stiffed people?

    Jazz has always treated me good, and I was paid out same day without any problem, although the fee was a bit high.
