biglubes · 03-06-08, 05:28 PM

I picked up the money gram today for 640. Everything went smooth and Im still in shock that they paid. good luck

bigboydan · 03-06-08, 05:34 PM

Thanks for the update sir... And congrats.

gmanea · 03-07-08, 01:16 AM

Note to all, I got paid today $602 by creditwager through moneygram. I have the money IN MY HAND. These guys do pay and are legit. I just hope that most people do the right thing by them in return.

I wagered well, picked winners and they rightfully paid me for it.
I intend to pay them in future, should I lose but I'm not planning on losing haha

bigboydan · 03-07-08, 01:20 AM

I for one thank you for sharing your experiences with us sir.

BTW, Congrats on your winnings

2Pac · 03-07-08, 01:33 AM

Congrats on winnings, but I still think this is a scam.

bigboydan · 03-07-08, 01:46 AM

I agree 2Pac.

I'm sure that the backers of Creditwagering saw this thread and feel it's a small price to pay for the exposure they are receiving. However if they are really legit their going to attract every shot taker on the planet, and won't last long IMHOO.

bettilimbroke999 · 03-07-08, 11:41 AM

My understanding is this.....

This book will last about a month.

Their business concept is to offer an unsecured 1000 credit line to a bunch of degenerate gamblers for the sole purpose of gambling. If the gambler wins of course he'll ask to be paid and in all likelihood will never be paid. If the gambler loses of course he will not pay b/c he figures that he wouldn't have been paid if he won anyway and/or he doesn't have the money and/or there is no consequences for not sending the sportsbook the money he lost so he decides to keep the money in his pocket. This is a TERRIBLE idea and is, in all likelihood, a complete scam as the only reason to pay them would be so you could continue gambling on their site and unless they've got some incredible lines you could just deposit the money in another sportsbook and bet there.

frostno98 · 03-07-08, 04:16 PM

If they've paid me I'll play there but won't reup anything more than what I've won there. So if I get scammed that's all I'll lose back.

bigboydan · 03-07-08, 06:20 PM

I received your PM frostno98, and I'd say it could be a possibility, however I'm hoping it's just an error of some kind though. Because if it's the case then I must say thats some wicked snake oil coming down the road for people.

Care to elaborate? I'm up w/ them but don't think I'll send in my DL. I have a weird feeling.

I think this is something that frostno98 should share with everyone if it is indeed not a minor glitch. However, If you can help it don't cash out just yet Rob until I can see what else I can find out on this subject.

frostno98 · 03-07-08, 07:00 PM

Be very wary in sending information to sites that are not established. I don't know if there's any correlation in my situation, but I registered with creditwager last week. Gave my regular info and last 4 digit ssn. That was the last time my ******** prepaid **** was able deposit at a sportsbook, and I play at many of the decent one's here.

My ******** card was working fine until I registered with creditwager, now it's restricted at virtually every single sportsbook, even sportsbook.com who accept anything and everything. Like I said, don't know if there's any correlation, but it's one hell of a coincidence though. Be careful, I think big brother is watching.

robmpink · 03-07-08, 07:05 PM

I registered w/ them on Tuesday. I also loaded and made a deposit at a book succesfully yesterday. Personally I think it is a coincidence. As a test you should try to purchase something w/ your card that is non book related and see if it would go through.

I really don't think I'm going to try and cash out. I'll just leave it at that.

I can't say I blame you one bit Rob, because the risk isn't worth the reward IMO.

diggystyon · 04-10-08, 03:42 PM

In the March payout report you will see some posters have reported being paid by Creditwagering. I like a lot of other posters here at SBR are still a bit skeptical about this establishment, but so far so good from what I've been reading sir. I mean the negatives just outweigh the positives in regards to the current business model IMHOO.

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 time

some good information sir.....

bigboydan · 01-09-09, 10:40 PM

Hard to believe this book has almost made it an entire year since I first stumbled across it. I would have thought for sure with a business model like that it would have folded after 6 months.

tommy2711 · 01-09-09, 10:49 PM

How many slow pays have been reported in the last month Dan?
