SportsBettingOnline poaching customers

SBR might want to refrain from abbreviating SportsBettingOnline 'SBO' (as seen in the linked article), as people might confuse it with the far more famous (and reputable) Sports Bookie Online (SBOBet). Just sayin'.

Anyone who associates SportsBettingOnline with SBOBet after four references of the full name is beyond salvation. It's actually appropriate to abbreviate after the first reference.

Doesn't this go on daily in this industry? I have been contacted many times by former employees of books with offers to join the new book they represent. And, I get called all the time by new books that had to have gotten my info from one of the books that I have an account at.

Why are top rated books giving out our info?

It seems you misread the article. The individual was employed at another sportsbook.

Lou,
Thanks for the clarification.

I couldn't read most of the article because my tin foil hat kept slipping off.
And as you know, I'll only be protected from the Gravity Shelf if I can quickly sprinkle used coffee grinds into the corners of the room.

Gotta run, put on baseball cap and look down, sattalite will be overhead in 12 seconds.....

Glad that guy wasn't banned, guess he just decided to stop posting.
