Book steals for peanuts - will take YOUR big $$

[sds]

When I first came here a couple of months ago, it was concerning a "past post" issue I had with Virtualbookmaker.com. They claimed that their software had a "Glitch" so my horse bet was void. I argued and got suspended. lmao So then we left it with them forwarding me the few dollars that I had in there. Now granted I only had a mere $50 in the account when this occurred (since it was my initial $100 deposit to test offshore betting out ); however, I believe that this is not the POINT. Whether a book steals $50 or $5000 from you makes no difference. I imagine that there are many books out there who use this practice and actually collect a fair deal of dollars with small insignificant accounts. I have made many calls to Bruce over the last month or so and have YET to receive a return call or an e-mail! When I call him, his customer service rep runs interference and gives me the "he's in a meeting all day" line! lmfao
What is your take on this? Here is a book that is APPARENTLY reputable and referrable, pulling stunts like this one! I had hoped from day 1 that they would have met me somewhere reasonably in between on my winning bet, but not likely. Instead, they close my account and take the money!!??

$50 or $5000 doesn't matter. Stealing is stealing. I do not think Virtualbookmaker did anything wrong here though. You got your $50 back right?

wrong.
They did not send me the balance. They will not return my calls/e-mails. Bruce hides under his desk.
I called today and was told that he was "busy" and he'd call me in 10 mins. I called back two hours later and was told that "he had not arrived to work yet" lol
Bad shell game.

I actually think that the questionable books I have delat with treat the small player much better than the larger one. They "know" that the guy with the big balance is not coming back after the slow pay or material issue, so why bother being responsive to him. Rather, they keep the small player going, knowing he will utlimately lose his funds and likely reload becuase "he was treated well". I'm not sure how else to explain how shops like WW stay in business. There were at least 3 of us on the message boards there owed between $20M-$30M combined, you'd think everyone there would stop playing. Hell no, little guys still looking to reload all the time.

Although I am not sure which player they would "cater" to , I do know that this is fraud. It is outright theft regardless of the amount. I can turn that $50 into $1000 in a day of handicapping - or even off of 1 GOOD race. That is why I want that pittance returned to me. While you baseball guys often require larger wagers, I can do well with a $2 boxed trifecta ($6 bet) and make $1000 with some good capping and some luck.
thanks all

I think this SHOULD be read by more clients. Today it is ME, tomorrow it is YOU.

Just spoke with "Carlos" at Virtualbookmaker.
It seeems that Bruce is "out on lunch" LMFAO
I told Carlo that we were facing one oftwo issues here. Either

a) Bruce is 800 lbs from being "at lunch" every time I have called for the last month"
or
b) Someone is Bs-ing me.

www.virtualbookmaker.com - be aware of their business model. "If you win more than $100 you are "Past Post" and if you lose ,we will gladly accept your bad fortune

This seems to be the credo of MANY offshore books from what I have read here since joining. I will say that the Rx definately opened my eyes to the industry. I have LITERALLY made a bet, watched the race go off minutes later, won, then had a service rep tell me that the bet was "Past Post" LMAO
It is frightening how these people use their "rules" to their advantage.

good luck to all
