Say hello to SBG Global. Be very aware of the history of this place and keep your wallet in your back pocket if they ever approach you. In fact someone very prominent around here took a big stiff job from these people. He may not want it all brought up again but even when I was wearing my "critical poster hat" I had to call BS on this book. Besides that notorious case things have never changed with this joint. We have recieved complaints about people not getting paid and unethical marketing almost from the start. They advertise they give a car away on certain promotions but this has been told by former employees to be false. They were told to never mention the car and if a caller got persistant in asking who won to immediately transfer them to a supervisor. There was never a car at all we were informed. This is the milder stuff. If there is a scam to be had these people are in on it. Once they told players the max payout on a baseball 3 team parlay was 6-1. Didn't matter if you took three dogs or not that was all they paid. Of course you never realized it until you tried to get your money though it was never mentioned anywhere on the site. In one particular case the player had about 8 dimes coming before SBG Global made up this new rule to keep from paying off.
Please remember this if ever approached and move on. Other books associated with SBG are www.empressgaming.com www.sportbook.com and www.wsibet.com - stay clear of all of them!! This place has been a frequent member on SBR's "run list" and for good reason. Like he says don't walk, RUN from this place. Stick with high quality long lasting sportbooks. If you have a question about a book please ask. Hard enough to win without letting people steal our money along the way. Thanks for listening.
