THIS IS THE LAST STRAW WITH CARIBSPORTS

DannyMay · Sep 6, 2003

HERE IS A BOOK THAT DOESNT EVER GIVE A REUP BONUS, THAT DOESNT OFFER A DIME LINE IN BASES AND THAT DOESNT REALLY OFFER ANYTHING SPECIAL. HOWEVER WE ALL CONTINUE TO PLAY WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY PAY. THIS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE THAT BETTORS ARE LOYAL TO BOOKS THAT PAY. I MEAN HELL WHY ELSE WOULD ANY OF US HAVE ACCOUNTS WITH CARIB OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY PAY. I DIDNT EVEN GET A BONUS WHEN I MADE MY INITIAL DEPOSIT.

NOW THEY DONT SPEND ON MANY ON ADVERTISING SO I WOULD THINK THEY COULD TAKE THE MONEY THEY SAVE ON ADVERTISING EXPENSE AND KEEP THEIR DAMN SITE UP. I WOULD BE WRONG. I HAVE SO MUCH MONEY AT CARIB TODAY BECAUSE I FOUND A SCALP YESTERDAY BETWEEN INTERTOPS AND CARIB ON THE OAKLAND - 1 1/2 +120 AND TAMPA BAY + 1 1/2 -115. NOW I CANT PLAY ANY GAMES AND I CANT MAKE A WITHDRAW AND I CANT CALL ANY GAMES IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME THE SITE WILL BE UP WHENEVER THE F**K IT IS UP. F**K YOU CARIB I WILL NEVER PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN. YOU ARE MAKING ME SO MAD I AM POSTING LIKE JIM.

It is starting to get a bit ridiculous, I mean how much money is this costing them?

Simple cost benefit would tell them to change their freaking software so this doesn't happen again.

Whatever the cost, it can't possibly be as much as it is costing them in lost business.

They better be up for NFL tomorrow, I got some major cake there.

i agree,once my favorite book,quit a few weeks ago because either the site was down or even when its up it sucks,the scrolling scoreboard does nothing but freeze my computer and slow it down,how could they have all this time to get everything straight for football and not be prepared? no excuses accepted from them,

This is sad, maybe an end of an era. A Carib phone account was my first offshore experience back in 93 and I have always had a soft spot for them, but awful baseball prices, costly Neteller and website problems have caused me to stay away and now I will probably never go back, truely a shame.

DannyMay · Sep 6, 2003

THE SITE STILL ISNT UP. I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL NEVER PLAY AT THIS PLACE AGAIN.

Hard to believe how long this has gone on.

jjgold · Sep 6, 2003

some say there are more problems at this book than they are admiting??

areeff · Sep 6, 2003

I called they said it will be up before football on sunday. har har

DannyMay · Sep 6, 2003

Is you guys' balances correct ??

My balance is almost $2000 short as everything from yesterdays games is not in my account history. I cant get through on the phone and they are not returning my messages.

Is this the case with everyone ?

PanchoSanza · Sep 6, 2003

Me too danny, I'm missing a bet from yesterday for a dime which was a winner.

I am on the chat with them now, they are looking into it.

They better credit my account with the win or I'm going to be very pissed.

DannyMay · Sep 6, 2003

Thanks it must be everyone. I figured that is why I cant get through on the phone. Everyone is calling them. Luckily, I do have printouts of my plays once I get a hold of them. Thanks.

My last bets were Tuesday the 2nd. My balance is on the penny. Not sure if they had a db recovery in the mix, but worry not! If Carib gets clubbed to the ground, they tend to get right back up and keep on duking it out. Pancho and Danny, rest assured, Im sure the carib will do all they can to resolve any discrepancies. Nice to see the best around back online.

I stopped playing at Carib two months ago. Way too much aggravation.

DannyMay · Sep 6, 2003

You got that right. When a book doesnt give any bonuses, doesnt have very good lines and doesnt even cover the deposit fees on my western union deposits they have to really be a very strong book to make up for it. Instead they are one of the biggest pain in the arse outs I have. Or should I say - I used to have.

PanchoSanza · Sep 6, 2003

Account balance now corrected.

thanks carib

My 2 cents;

I have been a member at caribsports for years. The baseball 20 cent is a killer but like others, I was with them because they paid, and paid on time. I never had to ask where is my money or anything.

This last outtage though has made me decide that I am done with Carib for good. It is sad because I did like them.

But do you want to know what really pissed me off? They got back online and guess what they did? They gave a $5.00 dollar free entry into some jackoff contest. That to me was the straw that broke the camels back. A slap in the face to us bettors. They were down for 1 day, 24 hours and they want to give members a $5.00 freebie? NOpe, I would not buy it, I am done.

I hope that management can read this post and this thread and see what their " customers patronage was worth" and see what it will be worth after this week is over. ALOT of people are done with this book because of this.

Sorry to say, but an era is indeed done.

I couldn't agree more - Carib was actually down for more like 36 hours and offered all of their fine loyal players $5 in f'in lottery numbers. I am glad I got out before football season and up'ed with Bet Jamaica. Good book to go with Pinny and Olympic, IMO.
