Might have been the other way but that was the two books involved, huge thread over at the RX about it. My point is it's not uncommon at all for books (or their employees) to show each other up or take advantage of each other if they can. Guys at a sharp book who know what they are doing lick their lips when they see soft or slow moving lines just like everyone else. They create accounts (knowing they aren't supposed to) in their sister, mother, cousin or anyone else's name they know back here in the USA. If they run it up or get questioned when trying to get their money then they have the people put in some bets back in the USA and the game is on. That might have been what happened here, once they ran into problems cashing out they had SGC do that in hopes of trying to convince us she made the bets on vacation in CR and deserved to get paid.
Some don't but I actually believe SGC is a woman, they just told her what to post. I knew she had never been to Costa Rica, knew nothing about sports or a Pinnacle lean, she was just the name a boyfriend, brother or whatever used to sign up an account through. She was probably promised a piece of the winnings if she could pull it off. Just a guess, I have no way of knowing for sure but no surprise here if the player behind this is an employee of another CR book.
