The question of BOS ownership of BetMill (Millennium Sports) has been posed to the RX many times over, especially by Mister Jay C, who has got his answer recently through me via Ken. Ken has raved to me in the past of how intelligent Jay C is…but apparently he still doesn’t get it, and in a post today he (Jay) tried to implicate Millennium with a so called debt owed by BOS to individual years ago. To tell you the truth, I didn’t know much about it at the time, only to the extent of what I myself read about it on forums etc. which involved the late Kenny Hense etc. From what I heard the debt wasn’t refused, only payment to the beard was. The true owner of the wagers was asked to come forward to make the claim, which he didn’t. The company (BOS) and the site explicitly stated that they don’t cater to syndicate betting, a warning that was obviously ignored at the time by Mr. **.

Now to the Millennium question for the last time. Back in the late 90’s some gents were looking to open a company appropriately named for that period of time….Millennium Sports. The principals of BOS (Big NASA) at that time were in the midst of building out the hotel part of the Mall San Pedro, consisting of 6 floors. Like many companies do today, instead of making a humongous investment into equipment and personnel, the principals of Millennium opted to share facilities on the 9<SUP>th</SUP> floor of the Mall San Pedro with BOS (then NASA) to see if they could make a go of the company. In return for these amenities the principals of Millennium chose to offer the principals of BOS Millennium stock, without management rights. The rest was history as Millennium Sports grew to be one of the largest sportsbooks in the world and occupies the entire 5<SUP>th</SUP> floor of the Mall San Pedro to this day. As Millennium grew it in turn became a BOS of its own in that they started to acquire other companies around the world such as <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace>Gibraltar</st1lace> off the <st1lace><st1laceType>island</st1laceType> of <st1laceName>St. Kitts</st1laceName></st1lace> in 2001, founded other companies such as Infinity, and innovated the software for WagerMall. These companies affiliated with Millennium became known as the “Millennium Group”, not companies under the BOS umbrella, a fallacy which so many posters claim. Ken has been to the Millennium offices on many occasions, and can attest to all of this. DID ANYONE EVER WONDER AS TO WHY ONLY MILLENNIUM ADVERTISES ON THE RX and not BOS? Maybe with that statement alone, you can understand that the two companies are distinctly apart and run separately, and make their own management and advertising decisions.

Then in July of 2004 the management of BOS decided to go public on the British Market. The Millennium Group was offered the opportunity to bring its stock along with the stock originally owned by the BOS group into the offering. BOS became the public company because they were the larger of the two companies, but to this day they are still separately run, and each part of the “new” BOS group has the responsibility to hold up its end in profits and accountability to the stock holders and banking institutions that had so much faith to go public with them. I must add that even though the day to day decisions might be made by the same management that all of you were accustomed to dealing with in the past, larger decisions concerning advertising agreements etc must now be approved by the higher ups (the board of directors) which do not include any of the original principals of either Millennium or BOS.

Lastly, Millennium Sports was designed with the recreational player in mind. Most posters on the RX would not be the type of player that the company looks for. If Millennium was a company such as CRIS, we would be up on the DB screen. The company never seeks out prop players, movers, shakers, originators, or the so called sharps. That’s why the company states under rule #4 on its site that Millennium Sports reserves the right to preclude or terminate membership and any time…with funds being returned to the player. Also the reason why the company is an annual advertiser to the RX is because the company advertises just about everywhere…for branding purposes. Even Mr. Baus received his winnings (minus his bonus) before he was banished from Millennium. Although Ken is not allowed to play at Millennium, he did so in the past, and all his winnings were paid in full. All I can tell any legitimate recreational gambler who wishes to play at Millennium is that his funds are safe, and the company has godzillions of dollars in reserve.
