Sting and the Shrink are still buddies, not sure why they split to be honest. I wouldn't quit reading his site or taking his advice if it is working for you. Like everyone else no one is perfect but Sting's fine and his site is useful. The more a player reads the better it is.
I didn't say I agreed with everything he said, I don't agree with everything Shrink says either but we work together well. Sting has some contacts off shore and that sort of stuff can be useful. I'm not here to defend him, he can do that on his own. In fact I was upset at him in his All-World article. He's not an employee of the site so I have no reason to lie, I find his stuff useful what can I say? In fact I registered over his forum yesterday since I drop by every now and then. Sometimes his articles are useless and I don't agree with them but other times I believe he is on the money. The more eyes we have on the off-shore books the better off we are.
Maybe we are different but I don't have to agree with someone or even like them to recognize that is someone I can learn something from. Sting's okay in my book but you are entitled to your opinion.

JJ are you done with the posting profiles of all the watchdog employees you were working on? I know you were still feeding in certain categories of information but you were close to being done. I would like the updates please as I have several decisions coming up that I have put on hold.
No Dante. Not many players that have been around will play with Yahoops/Internet1x2. ACW was one of the first around here to call out Ido and he was right on the nose. I think it took him 7 months to get his money, don't quote me but it was quite a while. I would imagine had he not posted here on the forum he would have never got it.
Also we don't like to mention Yahoops much because IceDog and his "friend" CMCS are shills. We pretend we don't know it's the same guy but it's one guy with several posting names. Plus they aren't friendly shills either. LOL. If they were it wouldn't be so bad.

Sting was controversial for the Rx because so many bookies got nervous or upset. Sting goes after Rogue bookies.
Sometimes when a single post is made in a negative manner about a book, some principles will flip out. You can only imagine what Sting would go thru if he would point out what he thought a Rogue shop.
I can only say that in my time dealing with Sting, he has never failed to assist me, and has always been pretty sharp about what is going on, and who is who.
Just speaking from my experiences with Sting.

Sting....
I think most people will agree Sting has always had some good insights. Anyone who is willing to work on behalf of players is a good thing. The downside is that for a dollar he will tout the worst books in the industry and at the same time use his credibility as a player advocate to make a buck. To my way of thinking this is very hypocritical. He also does not attempt to verify info before publishing if he thinks the sources are good and as this is a definite "no-no" for serious journalists.
Good Luck to All

I've known Sting prior to even setting up Gamblers Avenue and it still was not an easy task getting up on his website. I do know that the first day he learned Parlaycard was slow paying players he immediately contacted me to see if I would be willing to set up an assistance package for any players affected. You also have to remember Sting has operated Gambling911 as a hobby over the past two years prior to this one. He wasn't making any type of serious money off the site. Anyway that is my opinion for what it is worth and we are happy to be on there.
