    EBK,

    BetterBet is displayed on a live odds page for Euro players. A few users had asked us what the status is after the homepage replaced the splash hence the report. We try to keep a good history log as well.

    Why is Stan James "only" a B ?

    I believe they should be rated higher.
    I don't recall seeing a complaint against them.

    perhaps the 8-9% hold has something to do with it

    Durito, Do you know this for a fact or are you just speculating?

    I'd like to hear the actual (official) reason(s) from someone at sbr.
