After a few weeks to do the proper research and let cooler heads prevail, EOG.com has reversed its decision previously and allowed the return of SPORTSBETTING.COM to our list of advertisers.
When the original stories came out about Sportsbook.com canceling previous winning wagers (but not the losing ones), we felt it was in our best interest to remove any advertising that was coming from anyone in the Jazette Enterprises umbrella. I will say now that I believe EOG moved far too quickly without doing its due diligence of talking to SPORTSBETTING.COM and finding out the facts on the situation.
After speaking with the higher-ups at SPORTSBETTING.COM, we were informed that each company makes their own decisions in regards to their operation, and that a decision by Sportsbook.com in no way reflects a decision that would be made by SPORTSBETTING.COM.
Removing them from the site would serve no real purpose -- it would be akin to throwing a brother in prison because of crimes the other brother committed. We apologize to SPORTSBETTING.COM for the defamation and damage to the company that we may have done.
We know that this likely will not be a popular decision to the forum crowd (but really, what is?), but we ask that you be fair in evaluating if it is really right to punish one book for the deeds of another.
Rest assured if any one of EOG's sponsors does something similar to what Sportsbook.com did, then we will move swiftly.
For now, we ask that you welcome SPORTSBETTING.COM with open arms and give them a fair chance at your business.
Thanks,
