Raiders,
I just spent about 30 minutes typing up a response to your question and then when I went to reply, the thread got eaten up. I am wondering if this is happening to anyone else, as it only seems to occur when I quote someone...
Let me start this time by saying that's a very fair question to ask and one I want to answer...
Some of the mistakes I made in the past were avoidable. while others were not. If there is one common denominator to quite a few of my prior blunders, it would have to be GREED.
It is so tempting to pocket money at the expense of doing my DUE DILIGENCE with all sports books who wish to advertise, and I have clearly been GUILTY of this in the past...
Instead of holding ALL sports books ACCOUNTABLE to the same high level of EXCELLENCE, I made some poor choices by allowing some questionable sports books to advertise on The Prescription. I am sorry I did that.
When I became a VICTIM myself, and I was taken for a considerable amount of money by SBG GLOBAL, I finally understood first hand how many of the same people felt who emailed or called me on the telephone after they were ROBBED...
It's such a HORRIBLE and FRUSTRATING feeling because there isn't much that one can do legally...
I am now so committed to doing things the RIGHT way with EOG and to accomplish this, one has to start by example.
There is NO AMOUNT of money that a questionable sports book can pay me to advertise on EOG and I am hoping that other sites will align themselves up with us to make sure other gamblers don't get VIOLATED or mistreated like I have and countless others have too in the past.
Since there is no official regulation in this industry, it is indeed up to those who of us who care to get the word out about THIEVES and CHRONICALLY SLOW PAYING BUSINESSES.
I know that not all of you will forgive me for my past mistakes and I am not expecting it. But, for those who are willing to accept a humble apology, I offer it now and quite clearly, "I AM SORRY FOR BEING GREEDY."
I will be here for anyone who asks my assistance in fighting against the so-called BAD GUYS of our industry...
I would also accept any help we can get along the way from other sites...
It should be very clear by now that EOG will NOT take any shady or questionable sports books as advertisers on this site..
I am VERY proud to say that I have never had such a committed staff of partners, employees and other sports books who have joined us in this crusade...
Thanks for asking this question Raiders and I hope that EOG changes some opinions you and others may have had of me along the way...
THE SHRINK
