Very impressive Ken..you have clearly cleaned up your act in more ways than sobriety.

Brock · 10-17-07, 03:48 PM

Thanks Shrink! I hope we can send a message this
way to the sports books.

mofome · 10-17-07, 03:54 PM

this is what ive come to expect from mr. Ken. some people claim to stand for something, while others do stand for something.

you wont meet many more humble men than Ken, imo. as a friend, and i do consider him a friend, this is just one the many ways hes become a person im proud to know. sure that sounds 'corny' but sometimes corny is just fine.

cudos to eog

I don't think this will help the people get paid, but this is more about dignity that anything else.

No offense but what an ignorant post. EOG took the biggest action a site like this could take, they threw the money back in the book's face and said no thank you. You steal from our players you aren't advertising here. Those actions spoke loud and clear, if that wasn't enough for the posters than I don't know what is.

Amazing, one of these sites actually takes the lead and does something like this and folks want to know what more they can do to force the hands of other sites? That's not EOG's job, they cleaned up their backyard on this one, it's not his responsibility to make others do the same. Like he could anyway. You want Ken to get on the phone and plead with everyone to do the right thing? There's probably a lot of times you can criticize EOG, this isn't one of them.

wideopen21 · 10-17-07, 04:06 PM

Great move by EOG!!

NickPappagiorgio · 10-17-07, 04:14 PM

Shrink, very nice move. Hopefully the rest of the forum community will follow your lead.

How about a thread at the top of this page as a continuous reminder to stay away from this group of books until players get paid?

I did not expect a classy move like this from a Yankees fan. Very well done.

PSUONE · 10-17-07, 04:21 PM

Well done Sir!

betit · 10-17-07, 04:21 PM

with my very first post, would like to say you did the right thing here. think i'll be spending some more time over here

Shrink,
I chose not to read previous posts regarding unethical acts by offshore books so I am a little in the dark as to what exactly happened. It's not really important I know specifics. The intent of your original post on this thread is enough for me to thank you for this. You may get hurt in short term profit but hopefully you have enough of a "cash stash" to weather this storm. This will also help you in the long term . Credibility is shown by actions, not words.
Great move.

"SPORTSBETTING.COM DROPPED AS A SPONSOR

Not SPORTSBOOK.COM

So he still has SPORTSBOOK.COM banner up"

rayray · 10-17-07, 06:32 PM

half the clowns across the street think the shrink made this move as a way to make therx look bad...haha forget that eog has its own identity and reputation to uphold. why do people over there think everything that ken does has to have a hidden agenda???

Sportsbook.com has not been here that I know of Since right after Brooke Burke quit working for them.

"There is no way to defend the blatant THEFT that occurred to some of our posters and fellow gamblers with accounts at Sportsbook.com and their associated properties"

Timetopay · 10-17-07, 06:48 PM

Come on Fuc you know he wouldnt make a thread and then try to keep it up...

It was funny you caught it though.

On another note where is that greasy Irish man that is going to owe us 300 bones

prop · 10-17-07, 06:50 PM

Not only did you do the right thing here, but you also no longer need to worry about that big ass Milwaukee's best can of beer falling from the sky and crushing your ass for punking out.
Well done sir.

Relax, I'm actually trying to be helpful.

As fucked up as that might sound.

I posted in a thread here this morning and @ TheRx a few days ago about how bad of a book sportsbetting.com is. They slowpayed me a couple years ago over a period of months and I won't forgive them.

EOG is helping me unleash a personal vendetta.

Gonna be $500 man, they'll beat the Rockies in the WS. It was a $200 bonus if they win, remember.

I almost feel bad for him.

No, I really don't.
