    Google/Youtube censoring Betfair robbery video
    At the end of November, I uploaded a video containing specific facts against BetFair with their happy hour promotion abuse. Tonight, it was pulled down as "defamatory". I don't think there were any statements in it that were false.

    I'm a bit surprised that Betfair has this kind of pull with Youtube. Anyways, if any of you have any recommendations on how to get it back up, tell me.

    You should be able to reply to their message of them informing you that your video was removed. Simply tell them you have proof (if you have none your probably SOL), and inform them you would be more then happy to provide the information to them, and they should then allow you to reupload your video.

        Unreal. Youtube now even taking down videos exposing fraudulent sportsbooks. Youtube is building a rep for enforcing biased censorship.

          So does this mean that Betfair cares about their standing here at SBR after all? I would never have expected this.

            Hmm weird. How do you know that is why your video was taken down?

            Try going here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/...mpaign=youtube and then to post a question and explain everything there. Actual youtube employees reply to questions, so start there.

            With all the copyright bullshit going on, youtube is quick to pull almost anything once someone complains lol.

                  upload the video on another site. Sucks that Google would pull this type of crap.

                      They pulled the Alex Jones channel down too.

                      Just another American company that hates the truth.

                            Since you work for SBR and it was a SBR video have one of SBR's lawyer's kindly contact google and tell them to mind their own business.

                                How can this video be viewed now? I figured it would be available on this website, but both this and the other thread headlined "Befair cheats players (Video)" or something like that don't have a working link to the video.

                                Tried searching on this site but can't find it.

                                      So Betfair does care after all... lol

                                      This little episode makes them even more creepy to me. They steal money, but want to keep a lid on it. Add it to their resume at SBR, so everybody can judge for himself what kind of people run that outfit.

                                        Make a video now of youtube taking down the original video. In the new video state how in your original video what happened and why you need to make a new video. All the while, once again stating the fact stated against Betfair in the new video and in that video ask why this is considered "defamatory" in you new video.

                                        It sounds like a lot of videos, but it's only two

                                          Betfair considers criticism over stolen money 'defamatory'.

                                          A virtual guarantee that their my-way-or-the-highway mentality, that is screaming all over this, will cost players more money.

                                            Betfair is a Gorilla - with all due respect majority in the US or offshore just don't understand.

                                            Just a quick example - ask 1000 educated Australian adults (at random) if they have heard of Betfair - you would get 900+ say yes.

                                            Ask 1000 educated Australian adults (at random) have they heard of Pinnacle Sportsbook - about 10 would say yes.

                                            I can't speak for the rest of the world.

                                            You cannot watch a Rugby Leagues, Aussie Rules or Cricket match in Australia without Betfair odds updates being screened on TV. You guys really can't appreciate how all others are minnows.

                                                Now I'm curious to see it too. I only use Betfair for trading mainly, I long lost the idea they were an outstanding "bookie" but even so I want to see it :P

                                                In my country Betfair isn't know at all, but instead we have Betclic that is a sponsor of 12(!) of our 16 soccer teams and we get to see their odds in TV and newspapers all the time. Everytime I open the newspaper I laugh a bit and then proceed to read the articles

                                                      Don't know if betfair advertises on youtube in europe when people pull up soccer vids and such. But if they do, there is your answer why the vid was pulled.

                                                          Agreed - Google is the biggest corporate dictator there is.

                                                            What exactly does Google censor? I do not see them censoring wikileaks and that type of shit?
