Their URL is down and after calling player support, I find out they have packed their bags. This shop was considered Futurebet's flagship site. I received a p/o a couple of weeks ago and had a losing week over there last week which makes this a little more palatable. Playersupport claims they are trying to work something out. We shall see. The thing that drives me nuts, is there is one gentleman at player support who really provides good CS. He has been very helpful with me in the past and continues to do so. It seems as if many of the other people up there turn a deaf ear. When I called yesterday I was told (by another gentleman) that he had no idea what I was talking about. A dead URL, Duh.

Do me a favor, please spare the 'you should only play with established shops...' I do. But its a matter of risk and reward. I am merely letting others here know. Its surprising because, this was the flagship site which advertised and was featured on betbrain.com

How the fu(k a shop goes down right before football is beyond me. Hopefully, some of the folks carrying larger balances will be paid and/or bailed out.

All kidding aside, this blows for those carrying large balances. This site was featured on betbrain and they had loads of soccer matches listed. More people played there than you think.

Not surprising ... one could have had a 5 or 10 cent scalp on almost every baseball game with them (at almost any point in time during the day, not just on line moves). It's no wonder Pino gets pissed with Futurebet, sending out odds like that.

I guess this might spell the end of Futurebet, since Maxi was actually owned by Futurebet (if I recall correctly).

That is correct. They are owned by futurebet. The only reason I have $ in there to begin with is because when I was booted from Pino's, I proceeded to transfer half my balance to another futurebet shop and w/d the other half. Out of all the licensees, I would figure maxi would have been the safest so thats where I transferred it.

I've never played with any Futurebet sites, but if I would have played with one, it would have been this one (for the same reasons you mentioned).

Oh boy. I was getting a bad feeling when Pino decided to stiff a guy for less than a dime! If your rep is not worth paying that much you know there has to be trouble near.

Thanks for the heads up.
