Those around when ACE GOLD jumped ship, what was it like that day?

[wantitall4moi]

Yes, I remember. More than one poster posted questions on how Aces Gold could offer bonuses and let you buy on and off 3 for 10 cents without losing money. Those posters were ignored or were drowned out by the "I love them" and "they pay fast" posts.

I never sent them any money because I did not want to be there when the tent folded.

When playing at sportsbooks, do not dismiss minimum cues that may indiacate the books in trouble or dishonest.

I was one of the most vocal. But as usual people laughed at my comments. Same as they continue to laugh when I point the same things out at books today that do similar things.

These books are just a lttle more lucky than Aces IMO.

If that year hadn't had such an inordinant amount of games landing on the 3 Aces probably would have stayed in business a little while longer. They surely would have gone under as Charlie was out and out stealing the money. But he would have been able to stay in business a little longer probably if he hadn't gotten middled so many times.

But I honestly cannot believe this guy is still walking around. The best thing for the industry would have been for this guy to disappear and surface a little while later identifiable only by dental record.

If that had happened I have to think Mark Del wouldn't have done pretty much the very same thing a few weeks later at Camelot.

That was a banner year for the offshore industry I tell you.

But it also goes to show people and books can do pretty much anything they want, and even if you know how to get to them, they don't really have to fear any kind of repercussions.

Shrinkiee told me and others that things looked rather strange there. Back then there were lots of strange things that happend in the offshore industry.
Took me about 2 minutes that morning to make up my mind as what to do.
I did in fact close my account that day and got paid. At the same time i was haveing trouble with another one that took me 6 months to get loose from.
Got 90% of that money and felt very fornuate to get that much before they went south.

From memory, they gambled on the superbowl when patriots did the rams. Rams were -14 and aces stuck out 14.5 - all the money was on the pats so they would have got absolutely smashed. Before that their numbers were always very 'opinionated' and after the pats won straight up i think that's when they bailed. Does this sound right?

Yes. Thats what I remember. I thought I heard 15. They got hammered with either +14.5 or +15 action on
juice free friday.

From my experience, I woke up one morning and aces was gone. I was out a dime.
I'm using 5D now and all though things are definitely not right, 5D is still paying out. With 5D at least you have the option to get out now if you want to.

From my experience, I woke up one morning and aces was gone with no warning. I was out a dime. Bastards!!

My impression has been from lots of posters.... for quite some time...... With 5D you get out WHEN THEY WANT YOU TO! And no sooner!

Why risk it with 5D if there is Bookmaker or BetDSI, way bigger books than 5D and owned by class acts not a whiny bully piece of shit?

They got me for about 4.K

Don't know what to tell ya. I took out a dime a little while ago with no problem. Didn't leave much in there. Building it back up now. If other guys are getting squeezed I guess it's time to go.

Some are, some have been... I mean, 5D is such a powerful book that customers that have been fucked by Tony usually get a hush hush from the forums... it has happened, Tony has threatened to send gumbas to player's houses to collect when he feels players were out to get him. Guy is nuts. Is like the bookie version of Donald Trump and that's not a compliment even tho I know most love Trump down here.

CR government is looking at him closely for tax evasion and money laundering... if media and US keep the pressure the government officials being paid off by him to have "immunity" might turn a blind eye and let him rot in jail.

Bookmaker is almost as safe as Vegas.

5D might be the next BetOnSports. Dont say the warnings werent there... so far players have had 2 months to cash out since the news broke out, time is thicking.

 

[Redagger029]

First Aces Gold and now 5D. I really miss Pinny!

Bookmaker is almost as safe as Vegas.

PR,

What is their best means to send money back and forth now? Meaning fastest and most dependable way. Do they any sort of debit card set-up?

Thanks!

Hey buddy

http://www.bookmaker.eu/cashier

Here you go... and voila, they take credit cards... Id say thats the favorite method for most... the safest? Bankwire and Bankdraft IMHO... No limits either, just a minimum, no max.

 

[packer2012]

Thank you Sir!

Makes me feel crazy to think of the the amounts I used to see move back and forth off shore. Then even Vegas started to get real gun shy about booking many winners.

Anytime Packer, offshore will never be as it was at least for the next decade... BUT as I said, you can wire 500k to BM today and have it in your account by Tuesday/Wednesday... and their usual limits per bet are 50K on major sports.

 

[The Guesser]

Why the hell are you guys protecting The Crooked Jay Cohen, who hasn't posted here in over 5 years, and the crooked shop WSEX, who stole millions from players? Cannot believe you removed my post.

 

[HorseInvestor]

They were in trouble and gambled on the super bowl by giving 14 1/2 15pts on Ne---instead of 14pts that EVERY other book had posted-If the rams would have covered they would have been around for a little while longer.....when a book starts to gamble by giving out soft lines--it is only a matter of time
