Is Sportbet an advertiser here or do they have an affilation to the Rx (i.e. sponsor contest or etc.) in any form?

Jake or anyone else, has SBR explained why they have you rated at a D-? Or maybe you can answer this question Buzz?

I'm looking for the answer to my other question as well, is Sportbet an advertiser here? It appears they have a presence here and Jake is around quite often, anybody?

Go2,
A lot has happened with Sportbet and their partners and owners. Some of their ex owners gave us some very worrying info earlier this year. It looks in hindsight to be just a dispute among partners.

We upgraded them today along with Legendz and Hollywood.

I think Sportbet is OK, I like Sportbet mgmt. We have dissagreed at times over the years but my personal impression of them is thay they are good guys.

btw, they were a D+ and now are C-, hopefully the upswing will continue.

Not an advertiser here, but Sportbet remains cooperative and friendly to the Rx. However there is no "official" affilation (any more than other non-advertiser books).

Thanks Wil and Buzz!
 
Go2guy,

For starters,

We are not currently an advertisor here. We will allow any moderator at the Rx to mediate any situations that arise, however.

As for SBR, I have spoken to Will since the thread in question (mentioned by Assassin). Will told me that some "sources in the know" had emailed him with "information" regarding our companies. I asked for copies of those emails, was told they would be sent, and I am still waiting on them (I still believe they will be sent).

I will say this: Will can only do so much. He is still a newbie there. I understand that he does not want to give me special treatment, since we are friends, and I applaud him for that. John has had us at a D FOREVER...but today, I guess he moved us to a C-. I gotta say, I am not content with that grade. I appreciate the upgrade, without a doubt. However, I am firm in my belief that, by the end of FB, we should stand at a solid B or better. John...take that as a challenge, so please test us out. ;-)

Anyway, so it goes. Personally, I agree with most of the posters here...in that SBR, MW, and the Rx are all sources of information. Some of what is posted in these forums is not true, and a lot is true. SBR, MW, and The Rx all make money based on the books on their sites. Therefore, there will always be bias on one end or another.

Fortunately for Sportbet, we have many clients on these forums. These clients know we pay, know we offer a great service, they know we have solid bonuses and promos, and they know that they have confidence in us. THAT is what matters.

SBR, MW, and The Rx all provide a valuable tool for the players. How the players use that tool is entirely up to them. Thanks for your time, folks, and best of luck!!!

I don't want Will to forward you that info Jake. If you want, Will can read you excerpts as a professional courtesy but I don't want emails from BM's, owners, ect., forwarded.

I think we are past that. So much info on Sportbet has not panned out, this year, last year and the year before too. I guess I apologize that opinions have been based on info that in hindsight was not reliable.

Sportbet is a good alternative in the Offshore world. Rated 8 by TOW after a long due diligence which has primarily taken into consideration players feedbacks along with information provided by its management.
