BML Sports

burned · May 27, 2003

What is the deal with this book? I have been waiting over two months for a payout. Everytime I call they give me a new story.... Should I write this one off or is there anything I can do?

TheGeneral+ · May 27, 2003

Welcome to The Rx

I just contacted BML & asked that Jay be notified of this situation. He was not in, but CS was very adament about notifying him.

Good Luck

they are another stiff book

TTinCO · May 27, 2003

BML has a long history of stiffing players. You should be able to find many horror stories by searching the archives here & at MW.

Nothing but bad, bad news to be found about these guys.

Sorry man, but the deal is your screwed. I don't think you will find one positive post about them.

Assuming claim is legit...

Paid -170
Not Paid +130

Your deposit has probably already been spent on a car payment for a new Jag.

This place must be stopped.

I'll take No for the limit.....

"BML stiffed me last year, only $210! Unbelievable, countless phone calls and aggrivation just to get $210 and they still would not give it to me so I gave up...bunch of crooks.." (Bayshore Kid)

"Many complaints on BML and Skytower over a long period..." (SBR.COM)

"A friend of mine who I bet bases with also got beat by this book." (Patrick McIrish)

Here's a classic from last fall.......
"Saturday, September 28, 2002 10:13 AM
This is an official warning letter for all clients about potential bankruptcy of www.bmlsports.com (AKA www.bringmeluck.com ). As www.bmlsports.com worked since March, 2002 without any gambling license, there took places numerous cases of client's frauds, big payments' delays and non- paying at all. A group of federal agents now investigating illegal financial activity of owners and managers of www.bmlsports.com. As part of their investigating, they stopped work of www.bmlsports.com' server to get machine's logs, on last weekend, both Saturday and Monday.

Federal agents now have proofs and evidences of illegal selling all clients' private info (Credit Cards info, E-mails and billing addresses info, Banking accounts info) to third part. Also managers of www.bmlsports.com practiced absolutely illegal way to limit all clients' withdrawal or delays without any reasons. We at Internet Gaming Commission receiving numerous claims about www.bmlsports.com and we want to inform you at advance, about urgent withdrawing all your money from www.bmlsports.com . Also, managers and operators of www.bmlspors.com can give you wrong information about their existing problems to avoid global withdrawal.

If you don't get your funds very soon, all www.bmlsports.com banking accounts will be frozen by federal agents, and process of withdrawal will take up to 6-12 months. Our financial experts say that www.bmlsports.com doesn't have sufficient funds to cover all clients' withdrawals. So probably, only little part of clients will get their money before process of bankruptcy will begin.

Please do not respond this letter. If you want to submit a complaint, or claim about illegal or suspicious activity of www.bmlsport.com (AKA www.bringmeluck.com), please use following link: http://www.internetcommission.com/dispute.asp Sincerely, R. Whitson Carter Chairman, Internet Gaming Commission"

yes when i first started gambling they were one of the first sites I stumbled upon because they offered a 50% matchplay bonus. I really feel bad for all the new bettors who fall into this book.

What was this guy SMOKING when he wrote that?

TTinCO · May 27, 2003

I did hesitate to include that email......I'm yet to see any "commission" in this industry that is worth the paper they put their name on.

Regardless, BML has apparently made a habit out of stiffing and slow playing people.

StoneCold+ · May 27, 2003

You got that right Tin.....

burned · May 27, 2003

I appreciate everyone's comments. Having realized that I will probably never see a dime, is there anything I can do to try and get my money back (they owe me $1,000).

burned · May 27, 2003

Also, one more question. Why is BML not listed on the sites to avoid? Given their clearly inappropriate practices and refusal to pay, I would think they should be a prime candidate for the list. Had they been there, I would be $1,000 better off.

Tekari · May 27, 2003

you should check out sportsbookreview.com they are on their blacklist

TTinCO · May 27, 2003

That's actually a good question Burned......

They are missing from a couple blacklists.

bettorstalk.com · May 28, 2003

I have them on my blacklist and have had them there for some time now.

http://www.bettorstalk.com/badbooks.shtml

BML also owns OSG Sports

Also they have this clause in their rules:

Bring Me Luck Sports also has the following withdrawal clause "In order to maintain a regular $1000.00 maximum of weekly withdrawal amount, all customers must at least wager 20% of the monthly redemption amount and maintain activity for the last 2 weeks"

burned · May 28, 2003

I called them again today and they still have no explanation for why they won't pay me. They acknowledge that I am owed the money, but they are just not paying me because they don't want to. It is just downright bizzare. I even offered to settle for less than they owe me.

TTinCO · May 28, 2003

General, any response from them?

TTinCO · May 28, 2003

Shrink, does this guy have a chance at his $$, or is this book a long gone write off?

(He's a newbie in a bad spot...and least give him some "official" word.}

Thanks

p.s. I don't hate all books....just those that screw people.
