    So whats SBR stance on the Bet Revolution Drama

    And not the forumville vendetta nonsense
    but
    The whole Antigua Licensing fiasco

    1)Honest mistake
    or
    2)Typical "stiff" book maneuver and if you send money to these guys you need your head examined
    and if it was a mistake or wasn't will you take it into account when you rate them

    What drama ?

    My understanding they maintain servers in CR. No license required there. Assuming because they have CS op's in Antigua, they are claiming to be licensed and are not. Don't read EOG as much.

    If your trusting the Antiguan licensing commision to protect you from a stiff job by a book, your kidding yourself. Didn't Panama have the same kind of commision years ago, basically just a bunch of govt thugs taking their cut.

    BR is ok, wouldn't trust them with a large amt. Still have the funny feeling there's something being hid there. But if your a risk taker and the bonus is right, fire away..provided you can stand the risk.

    You have little respect for your cash to send it there given the information currently available about BR

    You nuts?

    So you can pay -130/-130 ? The government, used to 50% takes on lotteries and 20% grabs on horse racing will be looking to rape sports gamblers real good. If you think they are willing to settle for -110/4.54% hold you are smoking some good stuff.

    and if you can still make a profit on lines like that you have to pay tax on it?

    Exactly Hareeba/Peep!

    Want to bet the lottery here in South Korea? An MLB game of pk, is -145 each way! 90 cent lines! And we complain about some books having 20 cent lines, lol.

    If thats not crazy enough, for the insane players that play the huge ripoff odds parlays, if they happen to hit and it pays 100-1 odds or more, they take the tax out right away, 23%!

    Remember the illegal day number? Some of you younger guys may not remember, but the mob paid 800-1 odds for the 3 digit number. The government/state lotteries start booming everywhere- their payout, 500-1 odds! Government/state run gambling although regulated, always rips us off!
