How does sportsbookreview determine the grades they give to sportsbooks ?

Some of these grades are nuts. They have Enterbet with an F. I have been paid so much money with Enterbet that I wouldnt be scared to keep $25,000 there. This book deserves anywhere from a B+ to an A. I think sportsbookreview just gives good grades to books that advertise a lot and have their name out there. Sometimes limiting your advertising budget can be a goos fiscal move. This is a very strong book and doesnt deserve an F.

They have given mvpsportsbook a C. Please this should be another A.

Hey just like opening lines,

they are merely the opinion of the proprietor.

Jigsaw · Sep 9, 2003

Depends on how much you line the owner of the sites pocket?

$$$ = good rating

Mr.Jones · Sep 9, 2003

I agree, but for the newbie SBR provides a valuable service. Whether you agree with John's ratings or not, and I do not, they are IMO never going to lead someone to a slow or no pay out. At least their recommended list is SAFE. So during your first year or two they're fine.

Eventually, if you stay in this game, you figure things out. But as I say they are valuable for a newbie.

Your statement that his recommended list is safe, is your opinion.

Everyone is entitled to his opinion and your personal experience with a book is going to influence your review. The only sportsbooreview 100% accurate is JJgold's 40 top sportsbook , comming soon !!!

None of us are perfect and I do not know what, if any agendas buzz has against some books, but he is a good assistance for us i think. Us being the players.

Danny...

I think before Shrink takes on a book he researches it to see if its on the up and up. in fact at times going to the book itself to view it and see how it operates.

I know ken also talks to the owners to get a feel for them and how serious they take things like CS and payouts and how serious they take there software.

NO ONE is perfect but I believe that Shrink would not take a BAD book just for $$ we have seen evidence of that when he gave sports911 the BOOT..its NOT all about the money its his REP that is on the line as well.

thats MY take on it

Hey Dante,

In regard to the Rx, how do you spell Goliath and Pro 5?

I'm sure the list is longer than those 2 books that this place has promoted and buried players!!!

Hahaha I just looked at Pro5 over at SBR and here is their most recent comment:
Upgraded from the RUN! List to the Black List - No recent complaints to justify RUN! rating

There are no recent complaints because nobody from the forums plays with these guys!!!
But what an positive upgrade...going Up to the black list

sportsbook review has the policy of calling books and asking for money to give them a good grade. given that they have such low morals, how can you care what they rate the books morals. if they had something specific to say about a book that would be different.

Buzzsaw · Dec 4, 2003

Speedy I noticed from your past posts SBR has helped keep you from a few dog books. SBR asks for money to raise ratings? LOL..never heard that one before so you get an F- for stupidity but an A for originality.

As far as the ratings and recommended books, players go by results. SBR has not had any recommeded list books have even a hint of trouble for nearly 3 years.

Players like Speedy are spared from crap books like GoTo. A poster today played at Sportfanatic a long time SBR Black Listed book. NAB a forum darling was a long time black list book before going tits

up. BlueMarlin was recently downgraded 3 times in two weeks and then promptly went tits

up. Homebets was on the RUN! List for months while being recommended here and finally went tits

up.

Posters always have a good time in forumville, everyone loves to be a basher (even me

). But no one questions which site has always had the strongest recommended list.

No offense to you all , but I am amazed at the amount of stupidty that floats on these forums. I post little, but I try to make it count.

SBR IS NOT an offshore indicator of what is good or bad. He is a person with low morals and half ass does his homework on the books he grades or puts on his "Shit" list. Most of the books listed on his list DON'T EXIST, and the ones that do, I KNOW FOR A FACT he did not research them or their existence. His reasoning for placing them is absurd at best, and I would never trust his judgement on anything he does.

The mere fact this lame ass is even remotely looked upon as a gauge as to where to play is a plain joke. Like Sting, MW, BW, even this site, they are NOT objective by any means of the imagination unless it favors them.

Al of you seem highly intelligent, but please do not humor these web sites as to think they truly are in your favor. Lining their pockets while sucking up to potential clients cash is their main goals.

Everyone knows, $$$ does indeed = Good Promotion.

I personally think a ton more common sense and more research into whatever books you want to register with is your own best way to enjoy online gaming.

Sory if this insults anyone.

NBAlive2005 · Dec 4, 2003

don't trust SBR, they are very biased and they BS without any good evidences..

when they do put books on run-list, usually it's already too late for you...
and any fools would know that.. don't need them to say.

their ratings are absolutely wrong....
site ran by some clowns...
stay away from these clowns....

NBAlive2005 · Dec 4, 2003

come on, if you're a sportsbook.
just give SBR like 5 dimes, and they immediately raise your F ratings to A.

these guys are lying jokers. stay away!!!

Buzzsaw · Dec 4, 2003

Wow! a real ghosts with 39 posts in over 3 years. Let me guess "all-in"? Your just too easy. Did the Major give you permission to post?

The truth is all these sites are good resources. So many players day after day are signing up with BetUs, BML or NASA because they find them on the search engines.

There are envious guys, ghosts and even forum mods and their lackeys that put these sites down but as in SBR's case, SBR referred thousands of players the last two years and not one player has been hurt by a book going under, not one. And that can only be good for the players and the industry.

NBAlive2005 · Dec 4, 2003

i know eh?
these guys are like sluts...
very cheap..

A well known poster posted some months ago in another forum that Enterbet was slow paying him and had worked out an installment plan or something. Perhaps thats why SBR lowered their rating. Here's a link to some of that chatter.
If you really keep 25 dimes in there Danny I wish you luck.

Enterbet

buzzsaw,i know for a fact sbr calls books and asks them for money to give them a good grade. as for you noticing from my past posts that sbr saved me from some dog books in the past, i'm not saying your lying. i just don't remember, but it should be easy for you to cut and past the post the you saw that made you think sbr saved me in the past.
