I used to get these scumbags junk mail when I lived in the states. Another good reason to live in Panama--no junk mail. (Well, there is really no mail at all)

Everyone remember this..." HE SETTLED " not that he got his full funds he had in his account..but settled for most likely half or less than that... TERRIBLE BOOK!! Do not play with books that dont pay.. Even when they do pay they will dance around for months/years trying to get rid of you..eventually just settle to get rid of you but never had any intentions on paying the customer in full..

Yup, i just don't understand how players can hold that much money in shitty books

Good job to SBR and anyone else that was involved in getting him something he finds acceptable. Well done.

I think the name says it all.. "Oddsmaker".. They lie to you right off the get-go.. They don't make shit.. They don't set lines for any other book!!..and no other book really cares what their lines are!!..

The term: "Odds-maker" should be left for an original book who really does set lines for most,.. if not all other books..

Crazy...i worry bout my money being on A+ books, cant imagine how these people lose so much to these books that have no intention of paying. $250k+ in funds confiscated? Thats nuts.

I cant believe someone hasnt travelled over there and taken care of it themselves with that much money at stake...People can do bad for $100 so i can only imagine if they owe you 45k...

Oddsmaker is one of the Shrink's old scam books.

The article mentions the settlement was five figures. Low end would be $10K, probably much closer to that than $45K
