SportsInteraction Warning!

Buzzsaw · Oct 29, 2003

Guys I know everyone knows what kind of service this book is known for. And I suspect there are a few of you that have balances there going after those juicy and never moving lines. But;

This book is getting crushed with more complaints than I have seen since AcesGold. You should be getting in line to get your funds out of there if you have not already.

if you can withdraw, sadly.. Is dennis still over there running things?

TheGeneral+ · Oct 29, 2003

Thanks Buzzsaw.

There are way to many complaints for sure.

lakerfan · Oct 29, 2003

This is just my experience so take it for what it is worth. Made a withdrawal request yesterday. And after seeing Buzzsaw post above made another withdrawal today. Both hit my Neteller in under one hour after the second request.

Will the RX continue to keep this shit book on their recommended list?

Buzzsaw · Oct 29, 2003

And lakerfan, I hate to blow the whistle too early and I really don't think its a money problem yet. But I am getting the strangest complaints and tons of slow pays. They are not on the SBR RUN! List yet because I don't believe its a money issue, yet. But it could become one if they don't stop digging.

TheGeneral+ · Oct 29, 2003

I will pass along this info to SHRINK.

Buzz - thanks for the heads up. For you to mention this it must be a marked increase in problems? Keep us posted on it if you would please.

lakerfan · Oct 29, 2003

Buzz, I appreciate the warning. Always better to be cautious. As mentioned I took it seriously, and made an additional withdrawal.

The thing I like best about SIA is their large square base and that actually try to balance action to a large degree by moving their numbers. Doesn't mean they can't screw over players, but I feel more comfortable with them than some of the books here and elsewhere (based on the "cecil" rule).

Hope this works out. They obviously are having more issues than normal. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone at the moment.

I would also like to add that my previously
posted Neteller withdrawl was processed today.
It was completed in 36 hours. They also responded to my email about withdrawl promptly.

Has anyone using neteller not been paid?

vindaloo · Oct 30, 2003

I always thought SIA was a good book but in the past year or so it has taken a big downturn. I stopped betting with them when they ripped me off for my winnings on a tennis bet I had during Wimbledon, but since then I've heard and seen a lot of stories of similar incidents. Basically they've started ripping people off and withholding winnings with the flimsiest of excuses, something that they never did in the past. I suspect that they've hit hard times and are trying anything to stay in business, but with rumours now rife about them and SBR downgrading them yet again I think their days could be numbered.

May be! But the NFL-results this season seem to have been extremely favorable to SIA with almost all of the dogs that was so well paid at SIA losing....

I have a small acct at SIA, I use for middling purposes. They may be having trouble, but I will give them this they seem to move lines based on their customers(favorites and overs). I would be concerned if I saw a bunch of middles being hit over a long period of time. This year I have not been very successful with middles in football.

vindaloo · Oct 30, 2003

Last week they went Cincinnati +3.5 and +105 for good measure when the line was 2. Cincinnati won the game so anyone middling would have taken money from SIA, although in all probability SIA won on the game because their customers were all lumping on the favourite as usual.

Buzzsaw · Oct 30, 2003

What a shame to be have such a great player base and then run the joint into the ground. My fear is they are so screwed up that pretty soon they will stop taking deposits.

Yeah, but that's one of 2-3 exceptions out of like 20 matches.

JackStraw+ · Oct 30, 2003

Sportsbook Review rating is a joke. Like I said
show me people who are using Neteller who are
not getting paid. I'm not going to defend SIA
for some of their suspicious bet cancelling on
Soccer or Tennis. I think Sportsbook Review is
making a mountain out of molehill.

Football would not be the same without SIA and their crazy dog lines.

Are these lines created by moving on money from a large % of squares and ignoring everyone else?

Or does anyone think they are a "fly-by" organisation trying to make a quick buck booking action on dogs hoping that not too many bark and then pull the plug when they have made enough stiffing everyone in the process.
