#37hell no im no 'shill' lol. I've been around for a while as bigboydan said. Just expressing my thoughts. I'll share my experiences, simple as that. If I don't get paid I'll be more than happy to share that, if I do get paid I will also let people know.
Personally, I think it is legitimate and they have the best of intentions. I could be wrong of course. Now just because it may be legitimate and best of intentions does not mean it will be a success, as I said earlier, time will tell.Comment -

Looking at everything objectively, though, I'd say that the chances of it being legit are about 20%.
I asked the guy on chat waht they do when people don't pay. He said they just block the account. The fact that they don't pursue it any further tells me that its a scam.Comment -

#39Seeing that they owe you $600, I think that you're HOPING they are legit.

#40I understand that gmanea, and the concept is a good one.
The way they have it setup isn't. Anyone can register an account there. No matter what they say, they don't check the last 4 of your SSN against your name / address (trust me on this). They have no way of knowing who a person is until the perrson actually sends in their documents.
They don't give out a phone number or address. They consider themselves to be "a very private operation".
The way they are taking registrations now is setting them up to get burned. No one in their right mind would send them a damn cent if they lost unless they were positive that the company was paying out winners. Even then you have people that will stiff them just because there are no repercussions.Comment -

#41Ive worked for a couple of credit shops myself and their chances of getting US customers to pay is virtualy non existant , all it takes is a call to your local sheriffs department
that at such hour and such place a collector of an online gambling operation ***offshore**** that is offering you credit to make bets is asking you for money and 2 hours later , site is down no way of contact and just another ghost in this non forgiving industry and some poor collector facing jail timeComment -

#42These credit sites are indeed very private. Local bookies where i'm at run a similar type credit shop, but credit is only given to clients that they are familiar with. People they know that are legit and will pay up.Comment -

#45If you guys really want to add a crazy twist scenario to this book. The why not really think outside the box and say it's a possible sting instead of a scam site.Comment -

#47I have done some further research and it seems like this book might be a cover for something , it just doesnt add up .
All the credit shops do cold calling with lists from other books saying how getting money in and out of books is so tough specially for US residents , and how they can have someone drop off or pick up money or send a moneygram in.
And listen guys do you really trust someone thats giving you a dime for your 4 sssn #s that means nothing.
Stay away , be very awayComment -

#48I'm up over $600
If they pay me without any problems I will have no hesitation in recommending them to others. If I do get paid, I intend to pay them in future if I lose.
I do question their long term viability because I think many people will not pay, but we will see how it goes. I guess they have to build reputation like all books, perhaps it could be a success I don't know. Time will tellComment -

#52Hey, they just changed their withdrawal options from a debit card method only, to a check withdrawal only. Talk about a drastic revision in payout methods with no explanation.Comment -

#54I signed up and am up about $500 since yesterday. Before you request the payout they need a copy of your drivers license. Geez with the last 4 #'s of the SS# and DL #, DOB, Address can;t they open accounts in your name? Meaning they could be passing the info along to other people. If I remember correctly in order to open Neteller or ******* you only needed the last 4 #'s of your SS#, not the whole SS#. Maybe I am being paranoid. Even if I am up over the $400 I don't know if I will send in the DL. It is limited to $100 bets and I don't know if there is a rollover. I'll have to look. I read somewhere about a 10 time rollover. If it is true, you have to make like 100 $100 bets to meet the rollover.Comment -

#59Today I am up $1,150 w/ them. I opened the account yesterday. I am 20-5-2 go figure. I lost $200 in the casino. I really have poor expectations of getting paid but I may take a stab. The guy through live chat said play, get paid, and tell your friends. He seemed to be an american based on the grammer.Comment -

#64I played 8 1:00 spring training games and went 7-0-1. Then I played 14 or so 7:00 college baskets then later games.
I think the key here is whether Gmanea gets paid. I saw a post over at covers and he has been posting there awhile. The post is weird because it has people coming out of the wood work with it being there first post saying they were paid by moneygram. I doubt this. Honestly, I'm just going to sit on the $1,000 profit and wait until next week. I say I have a 10% shot of this being legit and don't want to send my ID until I could do some more recon.
At the other place a guy who has been there for a year said they are giving him a moneygram # later. I'll keep you posted.Comment -

#68Yeah it doesn't look good right now. I got some more info. They said there is a $1,000 max payout per week. I'll sit back and see what happens w/ this guy and the other guy. If things go well, I'll send in my Dl and cash out for $1,000. If not, I won't be upset.Comment -
