Is it true Blue Grass is partners with Millenium? I heard this rumor and gave them a call. It always concerns me when the phone reps answer the phone saying "sports" instead of the books name. That's exactly what happens at Blue Grass. I called and said I was trying to reach Millenium to see what would happen. The guy that answered said he'd transfer me. I had so many problems with Millenium a couple of years ago as they're website was so slow at times and I got a slow pay. I'm done posting at Blue Grass until this gets straightened out. I just feel that books are hiding something when they answer the phone by saying "sports". I think I'll stick with Olympic, Carib and 5 Dimes for a while.
This is great!!! The first BS post and now its an avalanche lol. We rent space in the same building as Millenium!! As has been said ALL YEAR we are not affiliated with anyone. However, I have the upmost respect for the people at MILL and im sorry if you had a bad experience with them. To date i dont know of anyone that has had a bad experience with us!!! (except for the possible cc scammer)
Bluegrass- Thanks but why not have your customer service people answer by saying Bluegrass instead of sports. It might be a petty concern of mine but it would ease my concerns. We've all seen the "signs" before and have a right to question whats going on. I think you grade games faster than anyone out there so I know your software is good. I wish you had more golf, LLWS etc but I guess thats why I have my 5Dimes account. If you only share space with Millenium, why call them your "sister-company" in a previous post. That leads me to believe some form of co-ownership is there, whether it is public or only perception.
Good point! These books come in here soo offended that anyone would question their intentions or integrity. Well EXCUSE ME it is still my money and I`ll put up all the screens I can to protect it. I sure as hell won`t worry that some outfit in CR is made to feel bad. My kinship is w/all the players here, yes even FF & O&U in disputes w/books. I`m sure that girl in Colo was quite surprised too when Kobe told her "don`t worry" as she was about to get it up the ass.
Jacksorbetter,
The reason that we answer the phones "sports" is because we are a call center for another book that has their own website. That is the only reason that we don't answer Bluegrass. If you check into posts made about 3 or 4 months ago you can verify this. We have absolutely nothing to hide.
Thanks
Ted

Jacks,
BlueGrass has been one of the most upfront and honest books on this site is some time.
If you had concerns why would you not just ask them? There is no need to imply they are doing anything "tricky" or are affiliated with anybody. If you have facts, then BY ALL MEANS present them ...
but because a book answers as "sports" doens't mean they are the same. Ask Sirbet/E-Winner .. seperate with shared CS. Ask Gameday/Bet19. Ask VIP/Sunny. The list goes on and on and on.
BG took a responsible step to keep overhead to a minimum. The more books that "productively" lower overhead the better the bottom number & the safer they become.
That's the bottom line.
It is not "hip" to jump on the smear campaign.

Lander,
I can raise my concerns if I like. If I want any advice from anyone named Landers, I'll start my post "Dear Abby". I didn't try to smear anyone. You love kissing Bluegrass a** you shill. I don't like books by answering the phone by saying "sports". Thats my opinion and I will stick to it. I will play with books I want to play at. In regards to affiliation, they said Millenium was their sister company, not me. I called their # and was transferred to Millenium. Do you think if I asked them to transfer me to Pinnacle, they would have done so. I have an account at Bluegrass and will keep it open. They pay and grade games lightning quick. In the short term, my money will go elsewhere.

While I am still out of town with limited access, it has been brought to my attention that someone started a rumor that BlueGrass may be in some trouble...
While I have still not been able to complete my entire investigation, I will say that BLUEGRASS was NOT one of the sports books that I had a concern about...
There is a positive relationship between them and Millenium and both sports books can be completely trusted...
To suggest that BLUEGRASS is in any financial hardship is assanine and irresponsible...
THE SHRINK

You go girl.
Look, I explained to you that many companies work off shared CS. Instead of shutting you fuking mouth and learning something you fly off the handle ..
so I'm sure next time you'll just cry fire (again) instead of actually thinking.
Wow, isn't that great for everyone

Ignoring for the moment that the book in question was Bluegrass, this kind of suggestion was inevitable due to the information posted by Joey C., and your response to it, yesterday. I'm not questioning anyone's motives, what I am saying is that posting vague warnings about 2 unnamed books is akin to yelling 'fire!' in a crowded theater - a lot of people panic or overreact, and unfairly good books get tarred and feathered in the process. Whether or not the person posting about BG had an axe to grind, the door was flung open.
By not naming Bluegrass as a good book, you opened the floodgates for speculation, and then you say that it's 'irresponsible' for people to speculate on their financial condition. Without rancor, I submit that there is a lot of irresponsibility in this whole situation, and as someone else pointed out, a lot of money ain't going to the suspect CR books this weekend until the book is cleared or named.
Is there a better way to handle it? I don't know, maybe - next time perhaps simply don't respond or post anything until you know what's what. When someone with your standing posts that 2 unnamed books may be in trouble, fallout was inevitable. IMHO.
p.s. If you are now willing to say BG wasn't one of the books in question after they got slammed, why didn't you say that before they got slammed? For that matter, why not name the books you know for a fact are okay, to avoid this problem?
