Went to see and didn't like it and for US bettors, company is located in UK, so they probably won't deal with you.
And odds. Oh no!!!!
Oakland vs Philly
Ov7.5 -125 (1.80)
Un7.5 -125 (1.80)
You wanna deal with these odds?

I don't want to say this is a bad book, but after I saw those odds on totals, 50 cent line on every sports, I won't deposit any money to this book.
They have 20 cent line on sides (US sport) and soccer odds are average vs others. Lower than most of the top books anyway.
I had never heard them before and I think they haven't operated since 1981 from England......
BUT AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO MAKE A CLOSER VIEW AND TYPED GOOGLE AND BETEUROPE. THIS IS WHAT I GOT.
07] Turkish Sports Betting Mafia launders money in the pseudostate
Milliyet newspaper (16/2/02) publishes the following commentary in the column "Backstage" by Tuncay Ozkan under the title: "The Mafia Makes Money Even as it Launders Money":
"I have three conclusions about why the Mafia uses sports and athletes. First, the Mafia makes money from sports. Second, by using sports clubs and athletes it legitimizes itself and its operatives. It uses gambling and betting mechanisms to launder the money on its hands. It earns money from them. Third, by controlling the infrastructure organizations of sports clubs and the young people who run sports organizations it builds up its own militant cadres. These cadres are in charge of arousing and egging on spectators in stadiums. Mafia people are always in the administrative cadres of sports clubs. They are also responsible for hooliganism and the anarchy of swearwords in stadiums. Undesirable administrators and players are eliminated through these militant cadres.
The Mafia makes money by booking bets over the Internet. Based on these bets games are fixed from inside to generate more money. Gambling and betting are banned in Turkey but betting games run by the National Lottery Administration are legal.
Internet Betting
When one casually browses the Internet one finds sites such as www.willhill.com <http://www.willhill.com/> ,www.intertops.com,www.easybet.com,www.superbahis.com,www.bahis.com,www.easy bahis.com,www.turkbetonline.com,www.bahsegir.com,and www.megatoto.com.
Joining these sites as members is as easy as obtaining an e-mail address. You provide your name, address, and other personal information, plus your credit card number. If you win the money is deposited to your credit card account. For example, the main page of superbahis.com says that it is "state licensed and legal." The operators of bahis.com have a "Santo Domingo Carribean" license. The Website of easybahis.com contains no information about who is running it. Bahsegir.com is a subsidiary of Beteurope, a firm that has been running a mutual betting business out of Luxembourg since 1981. Megatoto.com is a subsidiary of the Lloyds of London, a large insurance firm based in London. Turkbetonline.com is affiliated with BAS Communications. This firm was established in 1994, is registered in the island of Jersey, and operates out of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus [TRNC]". It is estimated that these lines generate revenues of nearly DM 100 million per month for the Turkish Mafia.
They advertise on other Internet sites. For example whenever you enter any Website to read your e-mail you may encounter their advertisements.
There are two ways to play. In the first method some money is deposited in an account number they provide. In the second method the player provides his or her credit card number. The operators of the sites can then draw money from the credit card account depending on the bets the player makes.
On these sites the bets must be placed in dollars. The minimum bet varies between $1 and $10. There is no maximum.
Because all transactions are conducted via the Internet and because the operators provide no street address, players have no chance of reaching the operators in the event of disputes.

These sites allow bets not just on games involving Turkey's major [soccer] teams but also teams that play in the Third League.
One person who has placed bets at these sites contacted me. What A.T. told me is very interesting: "These Internet sites do not have any [street] addresses. Even when you win they pay you only if your winnings are small. If you make a large sum of money they do not pay you. You try to reach them by e-mail but they do not respond. I won $6,000 but I was forced to forget about it. They did not pay me. Of course what I lost is gone also. I tried to find out where they are located in London. Their address turned out to be a train station."
There are also those who bet by phone. The system works the same way. You call toll-free numbers; some of them have Turkish operators who take your bet. Sites that receive bets by phone also accept credit cards or deposits by bank wire. Some of the account numbers given are in Turkish banks, others are in "TRNC" banks.

Address they are using, is their REGISTED ADDRESS, NOT WHERE THEY OPERATE FROM.

The Company who actually works there is Cargil Management Services Limited.
I think that a same situation is going on with many Costa Rican books also. Fake owner names and false info. I hope that a betting industry wakes up someday and realize that this kind of stuff is very bad publicity for them.
