I can't believe anyone would put money in this place. Why would you ever put money in a book that you are concerned about getting paid? Yes, they have good lines on some games, but that is not worth the risk of not being paid.

Unless they don't like free money.
I would pay them $1000 to be able to play there again &
make another 40K in 16 months.
Anyone with a moderate bankroll could make a living middling
& scalping SIA with other shops, especially Pinnacle.
Virtually 365 days a year {in FBL, BKL, MLB, HKY, etc}.
There is a concern about getting paid with any book.
That's why experienced gamblers here say to only invest with
what you can afford to lose.
Personally i felt relatively comfortable having 5 figures {as much
as ~ 30K} in SIA for a year.
And recieved 100K in payouts w. little difficulty.
SIA isn't going anywhere because it is a place where squares
move the lines & the sportsbook rakes in the dough.
One must determine if investing is an acceptable risk, whether
in sports, stocks, or whatever. If the risk of not getting paid is
1%, & the benefit is a 50% bonus of $250, you may lose your
$500 once in 100 times but make $250 the other 99 times for a
total of $24,750 & profit of $24,250.
