I am not calling out anyone imparticular, but just say this in general.

I have been lucky enough to avoid being stiffed by a offshore outfit, but that can not be said about my dealing w/ locals. I have not been paid by a local more than once.

I see people complaining about waiting 12 hours for a 5 figure payout and I just have to laugh.

I remember when you would have to wait for thursday to come and hope that all the losers paid what they owed on wednesday so that your book would have money to pay you.

I know the offshore business is completly different than dealing w/ a local, but just think of what you are really complaining about and how much worse it could be for you.

Depends on if your local is working on margin and hoping that losers pay winners. Plenty of big locals that either put in their package off shore and guarantee all stateside payoffs without delay or just book and pay. If you are in with an agent on credit off shore and he can't pay you on his end the book won't be wiring you from some caribbean country and you will be cut off into that out unless you then post up directly with them.

Most bettors will always want more. But many times they don't stop to think about what they are demanding.

Great points.

I am glad to have the chance to get down offshore. In all aspects of life though, we have the select few who are spoiled.

It's not the gambler's fault, it's the Offshore Industry's for trying to entice players with bonuses and fast payout's, is it not?

Don't make me laugh.

It's my money.

I am the customer.

If you cannot service me, I'll complain and someone else out there will.

Sportsbooks out there are raking in the dough -- what exactly have they done for me that should make me cut them some slack when dealing with large sums of my money?

*I* keep them in business placing *my* bets with *my* money -- if they don't want to accept the action there are a hundred different outs that do or room for another out that has its **** together to come in.

I simply don't see why sportsbooks running at a 10% margin on every game deserve to be cut any slack by me or anyone.
