I didn't mean to question you about a thread that a Mod started to bash a fellow poster that was moved to the Rubber Room when it didn't get its desired effect.

I think I got my point across quite well.....but several people were bitching about the thread being RR material, so someone finally complied.

We try, but no-we can't win (but hopefully we all knew that coming into the game).

Personally, if I hear or read + or - from personal friends and/or posters about a particular book, I dont see any need for myself to have played there to have an opinion.

I only add books which I receive positive ratings from personal friends or posters here that I respect.

If Chuck finds what suits his playing style with a handful of books, I see nothing wrong with that.

Fish, I realize you want dozens of outs, and that works for your style. However, most players would find little use with dozens of outs.

Your own thread which annually rates books is among the many sources I will consider before I add a book.

Personally, I have several outs. The books I decide to add (or not add) this football season will be decided from what I hear from friends and read here from posters I trust.

I will take any bonus I may recieve, but its not among my top requirements when I add a book as an out. I want to be sure the book has money & history to pay its customers and not have limits cut and/or shown the door the day after I bet into a good # or win a few dimes.

The world of offshore bookmakers according to Chuck Sims is important for this site.

This pretty much somes it up.
I agree there is absolutely No sense in haveing dozens of places to play. Offshore numbers are merely painted anyway. One does need the "openers" from someplace.
These So called "R" recreational books will be gobbled up by the big shops sooner or later. OBTW i dont remember ANY of the "R" rated recreational books ever have the nerve to hangup the numbers or take a bet anyway.

I myself like the way that Chuck stands up! But i always did like people that tell it like it is anyway.
Lots here play follow ole so and so, and dont make any waves.

That's right J-man you're suppose to take any abuse from various posters and not defend yourself. The customer is always right remember? You shouldn't have a backbone because you're paid to put up with other posters' shit! Is that what you wanted me to say? Geesh guys you need to lighten up. I didn't mean to question you about a thread that a Mod started to bash a fellow poster that was moved to the Rubber Room when it didn't get its desired effect.

Lighten up?

We can't say anything right anymore, if we snap back we need to lighten up, makes no sense, you want clones or people? If a mod gives his opinion he must be a shill, and if a mod says nothing he must be hiding something.

Chuck needs to lighten up, has that ever occured to you?

He may just bash for the hell of it, because he's become known for bashing, big bad Chuck Sims, what will he say to the Mods next, because he 'tells it like it is' LMAO whatever...

Like Dicky says he we've seen him throw out the 'shit book' statement without any reasoning behind it for years now.

You can tell it's June, so much bitching and not enough games to bet on.

And what was the point??? That some people actually respect what Chuck has to say even though he maybe too blunt or repetitive as some of you think at times? Why not just email the guy and tell him that he is pissing advertisers, both potential and future off, and this is not conducive for business. We reserve the right to ban your ass if you keep coming in here saying particular books are shit book. Instead you wanted the posters to do the dirty work for you and it backfired IMO.

Well i didnt know that he had been doing it for 5 years? Has Shrinkiee really been gone that long? Where has the time gone?
I understand about someone saying the same thing over and over, time and time again, and that does get old quickly.
I myslef was absent for the biggest part of that 5 years so i really didnt know that has been an on going affair.

And yes, one must understand what kinda of a shop or store it is BEFORE you post up an start playing. Anymore i just flat ask them up front. Some say what i wanna hear and some dont. So its just like life we ALL move on to the next order of business and just keep on keepin on.

As you know i dont agree with everything, but as Wil once said "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" and thats the way it should be.
And you an i will have to compare notebooks someday, as its back to trying to find baseball winners, and you know how TUFF that is to do !

You know what I really respect about Chuck Sims?

He was a huge fan of GrandCentral Sports in the early days. But when they took a fall Chuck admitted he was wrong and put them in the shit book category. The guy has class and he is usually right.

For the fun of it I did a search for Chuck Sims and shit book but it only went back 3 years. I had to laugh a little as it seems not much has changed since 2003 (and I'm pretty sure a few years before that)...

There are a lot more but you get the picture..

posted here last year Millennium stole money out of my account. Now it was your turn to get robbed by this crooked operation.
Avoid this SHIT book.

FF, recreational player is code word for LOSER in the bookie business. If you ever figure out a way to win at this
"fine" place, you'll see how fast yourlimits get cut and thrown out. This is a SHIT place to play at Frank.

I would not even call BML a shit book. They are not that good. This is a scam outfit.

SIA kept the bet until General Clark entered the race and the polls indicated he was one of the front runners. When that happened,
the SHIT book voids the bet. Another reason to avoid this SHIT book.

09-18-2003, 12:33 PM

Stop playing at these SHIT books and you won't get robbed. Why did you
gnore the many poster complaints at this shit book to play there? I would like to know.

Did you not believe other posters who complained Gameday is a SHIT book? Gameday has stolen bonuses
back from players because they placed wagers on juice free Fri. You can forget about the $1000. Gameday's motto
"Losers only need apply".

I guess Chuck deserves kudos for determination if not originality..

No. He has lit me up more than a few times over the years but always in a respectable manner.

I think he's out in Vegas.

Its vintage Chuck. He doesn't like recreational books that collar players. I have no idea about the details of that particular dispute.

The arguement that 95% of all players actually like recreational books better, get better bonuses, better customer service for small players, lower transfer fees and lower cost payouts has to be continually made to ole Chuck. He changed his mind on GrandCentral and he could see the place in the market for recreational books if he is allowed time and decent arguements.

Just my opinion, but he doesn't seem like a guy that is trying to intentionally trying to hurt the forum.

I actually believe that also - Chuck honestly wants to help players above anything but he can be very intolerant towards anyone who disagrees with him which after a while can get pretty tiresome. Calling into questions the ethics of anyone who does not agree with his views is bound to create friction.

The so called recreational books here at The Rx. get a lot of good press but generally that kind of thread or post goes mostly un-noticed, it's the disputes and beefs that get the coverage and at least IMO stick in posters minds later. I try to at least get all the facts out before making judgements.

Chuck is OK. He has his opinions, he means well, I often agree with him. I'll play a lot more marginal places then he will. Chuck won't get Panam'ed, or Betonstar'ed, or Blue Marlin'ed. He refuses that risk, forfeits bonuses and SIA-type lines

chacon ses gouts...if I remember my HS french correctly.

Perhaps he got burnt once before and doesn't want to talk about it ?

I like Lil Chucky too! Love the shit book with the thumbs down icon. Only thing that scares me is that he's from Vegas and still can't get a grip on the 3 way boxing line. OK Chuckster! heres the deal you have the two fighters and the draw you can't get a refund if you bet a side and it ends in a draw

Why are bonues such a HUGE deal around here?

Myslef i would rather have NO bonus and NOT sweat the payout, or get limtis lowered. Lots of things that are Much better than bonus, such as Openers for one.
ALL those joints that BEG for despoits right before football season, hardly any, if any have openers.
CRIS not the best for baseball, but sometimes Up First an Always close to First with the CFB openers.

Sure you can ! Vegas offers 2-way.Seems the Vegas standard, it's all wether or not you bet 2-way or 3-way, Winkyduck has problem with that also.

Soccer you bet similar... 3-way with draw or Asian-style. What matters is the hold.

Yes I understand that Vegas and many books offer a two way line...thanks for that. My point was if your betting a boxing match would'nt you understand what way you were betting before you placed the bet? BTW I am new to this forum shit who the fuck is Winky?

Y'all can't be too virgin with 2500 posts, Winky don't like 3-way soccer. I believe all Vegas boxing is 2-way.

I appreciate his posts on this and other forums.

Haven't followed all the drama going on here, I guess, so not sure why TTinCO attacked him in this thread.
