How fishy does this sound?

[SECplayer]

I was trying to set up an account with a new book. I was on the phone with them and they were telling me how to use Western Union to set up the account with them. He told me when Western Union asked what the nature of this transaction was, to be sure and not mention gambling or gaming. He told me to tell them it was a person-to-person international transaction. The country he said to mention was Venezuela and he gave me a person's name to say to the Western Union operator. Should I just not sign up with this book. For what it's worth, the book was Betonstars.

I dont know about this book but that is not unusual. It is perfectly common.

 

[Duke1]

It is very common.

 

[SECplayer]

Really...

So you don't thnk I should be worried at all. I'm pretty new at this so any info is appreciated.

 

[Fishhead]

That is a common procedure.

You seem to be rather a "newbie" to the offshore gambling world and if so, you have MANY better choices available to you other than betonstars.

why not simply use NETELLER , I do not get all these WU stuff , sorry

i wouldnt worry. w.u almost never asks why you are sending the money, unless it is a large amoung. however, as fishhead as stated, you could choose a better book

Changeabet people are evil (and are now a D at SBR...not that SBR is the end all be all but there are a lot of better places to play than at CAB/BetonStars).

Dante....you must have lived a very sheltered and rich life (nothing wrong w/ that).....what do you think everyone has $347,876 lying around?

There are ALOT of people without bank accounts etc.....

 

[Stickie]

Sherm, I would think that most people have had a bank account since they were 3 years old. How could you not have a bank account unless you deal strictly in illegal type transactions.

Ask Bill Dozer about that matter... Don't start rumors that are not true.. it is in SBR archives after a misunderstanding, which has already been talked with Bill Dozer. We are not related with does people at all.

 

[jay88]

Why can't I edit my posts?? Sorry about the mispelling...

 

[sportsbet]

Is SBR going to take you off the AVOID list too? That doesn't seem to be archived. So you guys are not Change-a-Butt? I hope for your sake you're not. I WILL also say that SBR initiated coverage of you on 08/30/05 so I would be happy to apologize assuming Dozer would be happy to clear it up. I wasn't posting rumor I was posting as is written and I happen to have friends that Change-A-Butt f'd over so you should be able to understand my post.

No worries sportsbet. I understand your position.. Just wanted to set things straight. We are rated D in SBR since we just got our rating, in SBR all sportsbook that are not B or up are in that list, which is about 95% of the industry!! Just give us some time and little by little we'll get to the recommended lists.

 

[sportsbet]

I hear ya bud....I apologize for any misunderstanding. Don't want to mislead anyone. Just tell Billy to get his butt in gear and get that thing off of there. I know how they put everyone in a D status when they start off so I am certainly willing to give you guys the benefit of the doubt.
