What kind of service scams have you heard of?

chameleon · Feb 7, 2005

The longer i stay in the game the more crap I see. Anyone have some solid stories on what kinds of scams services have pulled on their clients. What about a service teaming up with a books and having all clients register with the book and then the service send bad plays to its clients...?

Making sure I'm not the only one seeing services taking peoples' money with elaborative scams.

Thanks for the time everyone.

the infamous 50% game where half get one side, & half get the other

or the infamous I won my "enter hype title here" game but fail to acknowledge that this game was their only win of like 10 plays.

Oh can't forget the BS about giving out free "enter hype title here" games free & in the end just try to get you on the phone to get an expensive package with the free game being some computer pick.

Oh another one is the typical bs of you pay x for one package but if you pay some more you can get his "really really really srong" plays.

" Guaranteed" If this $99 play loses I'll give you a month of my crappy " Super-locks" , " Executive Club", " Bookie-Burners", or whatever, for free !!!!!!! I'm on FIRE !

The "each side of scam" play is retarded.

:toast: Why would any service have to keep track of who they sent which side, etc.

If you were a scamdicapper, you could just pick 10 different games to send out, etc. You wouldn't have to be an idiot and give out each side of a game to "guarantee" 50%. That way, you wouldn't have to constantly remember which side you gave who, or expose yourself to being an obvious scammer when exposed

I worked for ESB for a while in Montego Bay ...

Classic story: remember that goofy looking dude that goes by The Professor -- "I love these games!"

Well, the owner of ESB and The Professor get into a dispute over money when I was down there ... The Professor hires a bunch of kids and they tie up the betting lines during a football weekend in September .. this was back before wagering online was the "comfortable" thing to do

a room of 400 Jamaicans on the phones and a bunch of kids calling in giving em crap .. a deft PRICELESS moment!

If a service could send bad plays to a book -that means they'd bet the opposite side of the game themselves right? I think what a service does for a book is send a player there and then feed him a lot of games therefore pretty much guaranteeing that he will lose. As a service though, you always get guys with no place to play. When this happens you can't make any money off a guy unless he is betting- so sometimes when a service refers a guy to a book it is legit.

Fezzik and I agree on this issue. You will find more services just spreading out the clients over more plays rather than siding.

JD- be careful when referring clients offshore. The Govt. takes that very serious and if you have noticed most services are not helping clinets select a book.

A quote from Dan the Man Wilson (John Rodney). " Get your clients to bet big. Win big, get paid big. Win small, get paid small." The biggest thing that I have seen services do is to tell stories to try to get the client to bet over their head and if that game wins they sell more of those games to the clients.
