I wouldnt play with them if they gave me a free 1000.00 account. Dave is a true scumbag.

TCBets was about to STIFF the Finger Lakes bettor until an avalanche of criticism on the forums forced them to do an about face. This crap about the race being fixed, doping, scam, Vegas not paying, on going investigation, were all started by some sore losers who booked the bets.

TCB is an excellent place to play if you are willing to lose.

I think the posters are becoming wiser to the ways of a lot of books nowadays.

All posts are correct in this thread.

They have misrepresented their business actions before on this board.

They gave the impression they were going to stiff the Finger Lakes bettor until the pressure on the boards.

They definitely don't like anybody that can possibly win.

Been playing with TCB for some time; I'm up a little overall, but I've reommended them to my buddies.

However, this last episode on the FL bettor got me thinking about them. Yes they did the right thing, but not after a scene. That's the risk that offshore shops face every race, every day; small enough tracks that can be duped to create higher payouts, if there is no risk management or hands on racebook manager, then they are running a risky business. IMHO.

Just the fact that dave has not shown his wormy face in this thread speaks volume. He and tcbets have pulled similar tactics in the past. I think the finger lakes fiasco finally brought it out in the open. Anyone that sends them a nickel (and i mean 5 cents) is nuts.

TCbets sounds like another Gibraltor to me.

They do everything to get you in there, but don't even think about winning.

Thanks for the heads up...

I requested a withdrawal for under $5000 from tc bets last monday 5/24... still no check and no tracking number.

Every time I call they say call back tomorrow
