    So, your saying Brobury was the reputable arm of SB.com? Sorry, crooks are crooks.

    Just shows how messed up ratings can be. These guys were as tight as greek-betjm or BP and any of their other brands. Honestly for me the truth is somewhere in between. Sb.com wasn't a di and brobury closer to a c book. Sb.com past can't be denied, but they aren't as bad as they once were

      To their credit, Brobury did not confiscate funds and they had had their own payment processer--one which issued good checks. Overall they were significantly better than their parent company IMO. My main complaint with them is they were quick to limit me to $100 bets max. I agree that SB is not stealing as much as they did, but individual incidents continue to arise often.

        Why doesn't that stuff on Iwager go in with Brobury as they are the same brand as Sportsbook.com, why does it go with Sportsbook.com as they are not the owners Jazette is the owners. Its because Brobury is B and Sportsbook is D and because everyone has a hardone for Sportsbook. Do you know how many books that Jazette owns why doesn't any negative feedback go on with the others shy does it only go on Sportsbook.com. I was very sympathetic about your losses there and then you started with the name calling, but your probably right as i don't think its plausible to take peoples money for small things like that.
        Oh that guy in the other thread got them to reimburse the $150 overdraft fee from the bounced check and got a new one but he was saying how bad they were, i don't even think that he had to wait a day. And all what im saying is from experience as well as i have a different view than you of course. Can i ask you a question? did they just take your money and no chance to get any of it back? Well they are new owners from back then did you try to talk to them since then and try and work something out with one of the managers to see if there was something you might be able to do? You never know what could happen. Im sure the would be able to bring it back up

              Sorry about the comment (edited out now); chalk it up to frustration regarding SB.com. SBR has been working hard on getting the matter resolved, but the new SB.com owners backed out of it in the end (see below). SB.com considers the matter closed.

              sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) backtracks on plans to repay balance confiscation victims
              SBR provided sportsbook.com with account information for players, who were cheated over the past two years, in hopes that new management would follow through with plans to pay users back for stolen funds. Although some managers at sportsbook.com want to see this debt cleared, sportsbook.com tells SBR that board discussions have stalled and there are currently no plans to pay owed customers. SBR estimates sportsbook.com and sportsbooks that the group service stole over $500,000.

                BroburySports no longer accepting new players; pending move to Sportsbook.com
                BroburySports is no longer taking new players. Current players are expected to be moved to Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) by the end of the month. BroburySports, formerly rated as high as B- by SportsbookReview, managed to move up in the ratings above the Sportsbook.com family due to having independent management which agreed to SBR arbitration. Brobury Sports has been downgraded to D. | Full Report
