The migration began two days after the Super Bowl which is the most common time for a failing book to pull the plug. The fast-busy phone signal had players concerned. BetonStars has allowed SBR to visit and take pictures during the setup of their new office. The sportsbook blames nervous clients for emptying its Neteller merchant account.

Mods- Can you put a "?" after the title. Thanks, I don't want to make it look like it's for sure. I'm just asking if this is the first book to go down.

Let's just hope all turns out well.

are those the montors they will be using. If so they have a cheap operation going on. How can I trust that book if they using out dated monitors.
First off I turned BoStars down and tried to help them by advising former manager jay what he was doing wrong. Nice try TOW. Another rookie book in trouble so try to deflect that.
<TABLE height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=msgThread2 vAlign=top height="100%">I'd really like to see Betonstars make it and I do personally like Johnny but have a problem with the way he is running his book. He's running it fine for a credit shop but post up is a different animal. Here are some things that worry me.
1. TOW took their banner down.
2. A couple of weeks ago they were down on a Sunday and couldn't take football bets.
3. Their Neteller has been dry numerous times. One time they lied about it saying that a withdraw had to be approved in the morning when it was clear by the response received from the request that the Neteller was indeed dry. BoStars later admitted to that.
4. There have been numerous slow pays and as of earlier today not everyone has been paid. I don't know if that has been rectified yet.
5. Their bonuses have been huge and history says that books like this have problems.
6. They originally were bailing out anyone that asked without doing any type of background check. I told all of this to former manager Jay who then correctly asked Roberto for advice.
7. During this move BetonStars had to go offline and couldn't take bets via Internet or phone.
As stated earlier this is the way a credit shop is run, not a post up shop. When a post up player asks for money he should get it immediately.
I do believe that all of their problems have occured because no one there has ever run a post up business. I hope and think that they will be all right in the future. Because of the reasons posted above I think it's a fair assessment on my part to warn others about BetonStars until they fix their problems.

Royal Whore aka raiders72001, do you have no shame?
It's nice to see that Chuck is able to debate the facts. All this time I thought the only thing he could do is yell whore, shill. Chuck's posts are always well thought out and useful. It's a pleasure to be posting on the same forum as Chuck.

How come you rarely hear of other reputable books out there that make a move or some kind of transition that affects players directly?
I don't get the reasons behind any successful business completely shutting down for any amount of time, especially just for a move.
I would never play at a book like this, simply because obviously they have shown me that they could careless about thier players by shutting down while they handle thier "move".
I hate being left on hold on the phone or anywhere :+hitting-
