pja, it is obvious that you have it out for this book for some reason. To go after posters who contribute greatly to this site and discuss varied topics intelligently is simply wrong. I have looked at all of their posts, and they discuss more diverse topics than most people here. If you have it out for a book why not keep it between yourself and that book. Calling good posters biased shills is wrong when i know for a fact that these guys have contributed greatly. The biggest complaint we get from the advertisers here is the unwarranted negativity that permiates the forums. Can't we all get along?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Shrink, I definitely do NOT have it out for this book. I simply made the post out of disgust in seeing the 1,000th Skybook thread this month.
How many times did fishill have to bump this thread to give Skybook a toast? 3? Come on, and promo isn't even over yet.
Not a great number of books put promos in the offshore section. IIS/Skybook/Bet365 are the only ones that really come to mind.
IIS/Skybook's threads are full of mods and meyer winninghanski posters complimenting them. Bet365's promos either get ripped apart by the posters here, or fall into the abyss with 0 replies. Bet365 is in the same class as skybook/IIS, if not a class above. Yet, it's funny how the mods don't seem to care to either compliment or defend them, and the Meyer's don't "go to bat" for them either.
I don't have any beef with skybook, I'm just sick of them. For instance, if Thursday's tourney games have 1,000 commercial breaks that each began with a McDonald's commercial, I'd certainly choose Burger King next time I'm in the mood for fast food.
..and I love your comment about ME going after the posters. Should I have taken WINNINGHAND's post as a compliment? I promise to strive to post as meaningful topics as meyer winninghandski does in the future.
I guess I'm just a poster that is sad to see what was once a somewhat reliable source for offshore info, to be going down the toilet.
