When the place of advertisment has a bullseye on it the books don't want to get hit.
If the books really want to blame someone for the players reaching and sniffing around they can blame BM, GA, and the like.
They have 2 choices after a BM goes down and the advertising site gets hurt, try to go beyond what defunct books tried to do to prove themselves or walk away from a battle not worth fighting.
I believe them when they say it is really a business decision and not personal. I for one appreciate a book that lets its actions speak for itself. Words even though correct, can be twisted 8 ways to Sunday and explode when someone speaks.

We simply decided to stop advertising on any forums, the RX included. Nothing more to it than that. I will still be in here from time to time as a poster. My friendship with Russ and Ken will not be altered. Contrary to popular opinion, it was my call to stop the advertising at both sites. Cascade is headed in a different direction. Thanks to all our supporters and detractors, as they have helped make us a stronger book.

A different direction? I don't want an excellent book to go in a different direction.

Beantown Jim has a claim against Cascade. The right thing to do would be for a moderator to negotiate the claim with Cascade and reach a conclusion. Beantown should not have to fester an unsettled claim until hell freezes over. Once a decision is made on this claim BT needs to let go. It is wrong for him to continually have to express his opinion against an otherwise excellent book. Remember book operators can be excellent in what they do such as Cascade but for the most part lack communication skills. This is where the moderators of this forum needs to intervene.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Nice post. I agree

Cascade is a quality shop. Lenny is a bookmaker's bookmaker. If I ever was in position to go for the Big One, this would be one of the places I would be comfortable going for six figures.
I remember back when I used PayPal, for some reason I was being charged an extra $10 fee from my bank. They gave me a $10 Bonus Play because of that. Same thing with Cris allowing me to place an "overdraft" bonus parlay. That's called customer service.
And yes I lost both.
