I'll tell you my theory on sending money offshore...

TheGeneral+ · Nov 13, 2003

If you would be terribly upset or financially hurt by the loss of your monies on account in offshore Sportbooks, then you should be worried now. I do not care if it is Pinnacle or Cris, never invest monies in any book that you cannot afford to lose or be stolen from you.

Best of luck

Why the "SKy is Falling" thread? You sound like the idiot jjgold.

DannyMay · Nov 13, 2003

Is this mearly a blanket statement saying we shouldnt send money we cant afford to lose - or are you saying there are many books in trouble ?

Do you know something ?

DannyMay · Nov 13, 2003

Why start this shit up and then disappear ?

TheGeneral+ · Nov 13, 2003

Whoaaaa. Went on a phone call and come back to conspiracies. No one is in trouble that I know of guys. I cannot believe this opinion got me a comparison of JJgold. Just simply giving advice. Relax LOL.

Yes, Simply stating, do not send money that you cannot afford to lose.

LOL. I was talking to Roberto from Royal and it had nothing to do with a withdrawl.

Geeez....I thought Biff was back posting as the General. Reread your post...it says you should be worried NOW! Good basic advice though...too many people get lazy and park their money in these joints like they were a bank or credit union.

TheGeneral+ · Nov 13, 2003

My apologies.

The analogy is to not wait for the worry. Worry now and make sure your bills are ok. Good point on the bank account as well. If ya aint betting, may as well draw some interest somewhere.

WildBill · Nov 13, 2003

It is good advice in good and bad times don't we all agree? Doesn't matter how safe a place is, as long as all your money is in places that transfer to Neteller or to other books you use you can quickly adjust your balances as needed. No reason to give any book more than a reasonable amount of funds. Since nothing is certain or insured in this world I think this is sound advice for people who have six figure bankrolls on down to people playing $20 a game.

YES I am not the lowest player!

DarrylParsons · Nov 13, 2003

General,

I think what you are saying is true but has little to do with the safety of the books. The reason most people send money to a sportsbook is to gamble so the advice boils down to "don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose" which of course is one of the ten commandments of sports betting.

By adding this dimension of safety of funds you are implying that this is a significant portion of overall risk, which is not true if one sticks with the solid shops. Do you not agree?

trytrytry · Nov 13, 2003

I really do not like the...or be stolen from you.

sure only gamble with what you can afford.

solid advise.

bit to add this or stolen from you in the same sentence as pinnacle or Cris that is a very poor post.

worst post of the year award. Like the Slammies!

dont worry General your other 28974 have been better!

TheGeneral+ · Nov 13, 2003

I want to see criminal convictions of sportbook owners who steal, then I will feel some safety and believe in it. I feel safe at many books, but based on a diff theory than feeling safe in a bomb shelter. Kinda strange maybe.

Try,

Sorry to insult anyone.

wilheim · Nov 13, 2003

no matter what book, no matter how strong their reputation, something could happen offshore at anytime. Political unstablility, U.S. pressure on offshore governments, even an earthquake or other natural diasters are more apt to happen in the Latin American geographical region than in say England or Australia. If a diaster of any sort might cause very serious financial difficulty at home, then don't risk the money anywhere. At least thats how I read the post.

wil.
