Known Credit stiffs...Will books ever share this info and save themselves millions???

RIOSHILL · Apr 26, 2004

Other businesses, although competitive are smart enough to pool information regarding any known scammers who intentionally attempt to damage their business. In the off-shore gambling arena, it is well known that certain individuals seek out credit shops with the sole intention of stiffing the agent. There are other notorious individuals who chargeback at as many books as they can. Can't these books put egos aside and share this info for the good of the industry? I think this premise makes too much sense to go anywhere.

I think it is a good idea to share this info. it will save a lot of money for the bm´s

Between some of them there are alliances where they share scammer, wise guys and steams lists.

I agree, they should be working harder on trying to spread the scammers information.

tough call here. Books should not give out any personal information about their players. Doing so would breach most shops T&Cs. Getting on these blacklists are much easier than getting off, even if there was no wrongdoing.

Those are good points, but at least the books that are in a "fraternity" of sorts should work at this. For example, we are very friendly with CRIS, Cascade, Hollywood, Jazz, Pinnacle, Olympic, Grande, wwts, and several others that are not named here. IMO, it would serve the books well that have a "friendship" to at least share vital info. In other words, if a few shops that are tight with one another shared this info, there would be no foul, only increased profits.

I brought this up to local B.M!S many years ago . I think it could be done great if one person was policing it , similiar to what the RX does. with only one person able to add or subtract as needed. The parties concerned could let the person know when scammers got straght and the stores could also check on a person if there was something they felt was not right. thanks BuddyM
