Finger Lakes Bettor Names Sportbooks That Are STIFFING Him.

[ChuckSims]

Gold Medal Sports=STIFF...The bettor is now being told Jake is on vacation.

betus.com=STIFF...Does this place pay anybody that wins?

First Fidelity=STIFF...Not surprised. Caught them in a few lies when I was thinking about opening an account with them. RED FLAG!

Oasis Sportsbook=STIFF...Continues the lie about Las Vegas not paying. Memo to STIFF book: Las Vegas is tied into the pari-mutual pool, all bets have been paid.

Global Wager=STIFF...Not only are they not paying but are going to close his account and keep his deposit.

Empress Sportsbook=STIFF...says the race was fixed, suspends account, tells bettor to call back in 30 days.

Sportbook.com=STIFF...bettor says they have suspended his account and are affiliated with Empress Sportsbook.

Note: The bettor mistakenly says Sportsbook.com in his original post. It actually is Sportbook.com. This STIFF book is affiliated with SBG Global who also STIFFED The "Shrink" awhile back.

Fvcking shame.I will stay away from every one of these shit books.Especially Global Wager they are going to keep his deposit also wtf is that?Anyone who has money there should pull it right the fvck out.

Ive been on record for 5 yrs saying Freddy Harris of Fidelity is a lying scumbag. The cold calling is annoying, but the scammimg and lying is not acceptible. I will personally make sure that XTRA sports radio doesnt take advertising from them in the future.

Rail: We should just all get down on our hands and knees and be thankful that you are to keep this business in line.

You truly are a horn-shiner.

Rail,
I'm finally taking your advice. I'm out of first fidelity after 9 years! You won't hear me praising these guys anymore! Actually Nate Evans was cool with me the past couple years! And I NEVER had any problems other then a few cold calls!Looking forward to seeing the other no pay books! I understand the books point of view of thinking this race was fixed! A maiden 7200 claimer, a first timer and 500$ here and there , would love to KNOW the total amount placed on this horse by this guy and his partner! They honored the bets they should pay!Why these books take small tracks I'll never know! How much do you figured he wagered on He's Vivid, total???

 

[NickyDeuces]

These guys booked the bets. Say Vid dropped the jock off getting in tight early. Mr.Jones and company go to the offshore jerkys claiming foul play. Books say tough luck. We go by the official results. Beat it.

Those who cheat and steal from others, all pay a price whether dealt with or not. They pretty much have to go through life with their head on a swivel. Because one of these times they just may F the wrong person.

 

[KennyB]

These are all shit books that I would never bet with but they should all be put out of business.

F'ing crooks. They should have their legs broken. What a bunch of horsecrap (so to say)

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> for you doubters out there let it be known that i got off the phone with scotty who works for olympic sports[the greek]and he has taken off the suspension on my account.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Does it bother anyone else that Olympic actually suspended this guy's account before finally deciding to pay him?

 

[trytrytry]

It does not bother me that the greek took a bit of time in this one case to get the right answer.

 

[NickyDeuces]

I'm with Try. If decent sum is involved, go ahead and take a look at the deal. Facts are in now. First timer beat slugs. Our bad for booking the race. But we're standup guys. Pay the man his money.

 

[JimFiestSux]

Vegas I agree with you but does anyone know the AMOUNT TOTAL this guy and his 2 friends place on this horse ?? How bout a total you invested on this cheap horse???

 

[NickyDeuces]

A cheap horse can look like a million bucks when racing against slugs. Not that this one did. He won under pressure,

They do call it gambling. And these guys were gambling. Heck, horse could have broke a leg.

Cheers.

 

[NickyDeuces]

By the way, I had never heard of this horse until it hit this forum. Just an interesting story to me.

 

[ellenwisdom]

knew ehorse would pay surprised with TCBETS not paying

 

[JimFiestSux]

Vegas,
i understand they do call it gambling, been doing it for 32 years now! Just wondering what his average bet was before this shit happened! Did he bet heavy all the time or just this particular race?? He should be payed I agree cause anyone who books a 500$ bet from Finger Lakes or any other SMALL racetrack should have their head examined!

 

[NickyDeuces]

JFS, I don't know the people at all. Don't even really know the track. Though I did grow up around south Louisiana 'anything goes' racing. Sounds like they figured they had a good shot. And decided to run with it. I'm biased. I'll take the players side just about every time. The Books make all the rules. They need no help.

 

[JimFiestSux]

Vegas.
The books made their bed now they can lie in it! Stupid horse managing! If anything they should go over their track selections and void all the small tracks! Hell I wish I can find books to take Monticello action I'd never have to work again! These guys gave the offshore hosre industry a black eye! Not for all but some!

 

pinnacle takes monticello

 

[JimFiestSux]

Whats their limits on Monticello?? They don't like doing Western Union and don't dp prepaid atm like I like! But maybe I'll try them just for Monticello hope no red flags pop up,lol!

 

[JimFiestSux]

I see Monticello is a class D track with a max of 5000$ payout! OK I'll give Pinny a shot, I'll load up their this week! Thanks Michael777.
