</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>RichCoastSports.com(SBR rating F) has failed. Supposedly a new ownership group is trying to be formed. It is unclear if players will recover any money or be forced into a lengthy roll over. The victims seem to be limited to referrals from a watchdog touting high risk operations. RichCoast Sports appears to be a victim of under capitalization and poor management.

Bitches didn't bother to say a word about it when i reupped 3 days ago...

It's the "AK factor".....second book in a week that he was a shill for that went belly up.

I have never dealt with them before but from what I read they are just changing locations because the owner had a heart attack. What am I missing?

It didn't help when they gave this notice that the plugs were going to be pulled in 10 minutes. Seems like a few important details were left out.


Please be advised that Rich Coast Sports site will be down until 1:30 pm EST. We are relocating some servers and making some IP changes and as with anything in Costa Rica it always longer than expected. I will let you know as soon as we are back up and running. Thank you for your patience and understanding.


Sincerely,

Rich Coast Sports

Sounds like AK, Oldfriend & Sick Gambler are all tits deep in the place.

Building a player base with an organized group of bonus whores is probably not the best business plan.

If you have a balance there i would try and scalp it out at another book that you know will pay. Depends on how much you have at RCS and how much you have at other places. If it was me I would try to scalp it out at another book to get something back. You will probably lose the juice but its better than nothing i guess

Nobody seems to know what the story is. Buyout\bailout supposedly in the works or maybe completed. Nothing conclusive about new rollover req's, but they have been mentioned.

I can't imagine that they'll keep the same domain\name and stick their players with a roll, but you never know.

Unless you win the bet at the wrong book...then what?

Exactly-may sound good in theory, but it's pretty damn dangerous & may very well make a bad situation that much worse.

richcoastsports is scrambling for funds to keep them afloat. Do not believe the relocation BS. Thats code word: "we're on the run".

If any bailout requires you to send money, just forget it. Do not send good money after bad. I doubt a reputable book will come to the rescue. SHAME ON TOW for pumping this book up.

Guys, don't scalp out a f*ckin' penny elsewhere...you risk getting even more money tied up in a no pay shitbook...just be patient and ride out the bailout offers that pop up...you'll be much better off in the long run...

The low ticket numbers scared me out. Then right before Christmas they gave away about 40 $100 accounts at TOW. They also aggressively called people ( Jack, I think the name was ). I never withdrew there, just lost their side of bets.

Scalping out won't work because the risk of increasing balance isn't worth it. They were literally writing about 100 tickets a day, when I was there.

I think Jay from Stars may get involved in the bail-out. I'd go with him if given a choice, I can tell you they do write some bets.

How many accounts do you think Sick Gambler has there? He always finds a way to get paid though.
