BHB I can understand, but why Bluegrass. Nothing but gold from betbg.

JoeyC · Dec 6, 2003

Don't have a clue. Ask Buzzsaw.

I just saw the up & downgrades and cut/pasted here.

Does SBR still have know stiff TheOnlineBet at a "good faith" C?

That's a still, well, fuking stupid if that is indeed still the case and they're now ranked higher than always/fast paying BlueGrass.

peteep · Dec 6, 2003

Last time I looked SBR had onlinebet as "under review".

lander · Dec 6, 2003

Oh, wait a minute. The only thing that has changed with BlueGrass is that Ted blasted that shmuck Buzzsaw for posting blatant lies about me being a bonus whore. Ted discredited him by showing that I didn't accept a single bonus upon any of the 26 deposits that I've made. Does that destroy Buzz's credibility? Would that public embarrassment be enough to slander BlueGrass for no appartent reason.

The only facts that we know are that BlueGrass has always paid and paid fast, whereas Buzz was recently caught posting lies by Bluegrass.

hmmmmmmmm ... can you say agenda?

TheGeneral+ · Dec 6, 2003

Thanks Joey

Onlinebet back to F.

D- = Poor, some risk to players funds. Poor customer service, ect

Not arguing but disagreeing with BHB. Have seen no indication of a risk to players funds.

Interesting.....could you point me to the thread where Buzz did this pls.....I must have missed it.

lander · Dec 6, 2003

Good to hear that TOB is "back" to an F, where they clearly belong. But it certianly concerns me that he was openly considering putting a proven stiff ahead of quality always paying books like BlueGrass.

Peteep,
http://therxforum.com/6/ubb.x?q=Y&a=tpc&s=100090022&f=988094022&m=15810718&p=2 - Judge for yourself sir.

I have about 5 dimes in BlueGrass, and have no intention of cashing out. They are one of my favorite books out there, and it irritates me to see them slandered by some turkey that doesn't even play there.

JoeyC · Dec 6, 2003

Lander:

Ask Buzzsaw, you have his e addy, don't you?

General:

On the date the BHB downgrade was made, BHB was down, and couldn't provide a date when they would be back up. Now that BHB is back up, I guess Buzzsaw will take that into account??

I don't have a clue as to what criteria they use to grade books, especially those with no financial links.

lander · Dec 6, 2003

Joey,
I don't have his email address. I've never spoken with the guy, just pointing out his agendas.

But I will say Panam & BC are worthy of the upgrade from what I've seen and heard. So his list is half right, I guess.

peteep · Dec 6, 2003

I didn't see too much of Buzz attacking BG, but it does irritate me to see people getting involved in others business. I see too much of that crap on this board.

JoeyC · Dec 6, 2003

Lander:

I also played (lost) at BG, I couldn't get a jump on the lines. I think they move on helium.

I just found it odd that a week after Blue Grass made him look bad then they are suddenly downgraded. No new reports have come in on them. Never a no/slow pay. And Buzz doesn't play there.

I just find it odd.

Joey,
You're just a little slower than me in your old age - EVERY book can be beaten to the punch if you know how to do it

peteep · Dec 6, 2003

I agree....it is a little odd. I would like to hear his reasoning.

BeverlyHillsBookie · Dec 6, 2003

I don't see any other reason for BHB getting downgraded other than us having our site down. Yes, it was down for longer than others...but our call center handled the increase of calls quite well, payouts of all amounts were going out fast and there were no reports of slow/no pays. So, I believe that this downgrading had nothing to do with any financial info SBR recieved, and based this only on our site being down. JMO.

I would imagine that BHB will be upgraded in the near future.....as long as the site stays up of course.

JoeyC · Dec 6, 2003

Lander:

I'll buy a faster mouse..

Justin: Why don't you contact Buzzsaw and see what he has to say about your most unfortunate situation. It couldn't hurt.

NickDouglas · Dec 6, 2003

lander,

Your catfight with Buzzsaw happened after the downgrade for Bluegrass. Either read SBR daily so that you know what you are talking about, or stop making a fool of yourself by criticizing them for imaginary agendas.
