As facts change, so do opinions. On those rare instances when you are out driving under the legal limit, do you ever see a sign saying "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT"? What does that sign mean?
Shrink made a laundry list of reasons why he is taking BOS on. How about attacking that laundry list, instead of dredging up old posts written when the facts were different? Seriously dude...if you have a problem with BOS today, let's hear the reasoning.
Otherwise you just sound like a bitter old hag pissed that she ain't getting none.
tonyb said:i trust the shrink and general pete. if they say bet on sports and milenium are ok, then i will play there. i have no doubt that part of reason to take these books was money but i dont think any amount of money could buy these guys if they thought it meant players would get stiffed.
THE SHRINK said:I'd also like to officially welcome BET ON SPORTS as well as MILLENIUM. It's been a long time coming; for I had been one of BOS'S harshest critics in the PAST...
However, there were several factors that persuaded me to accept them here with the other hand chosen sports books I consider to be amongst the ELITE in this industry...
Being a PUBLICALLY TRADED COMPANY does not necessarily lend its name to HONOR, INTEGRITY or SOLVENCY as we only have to look at what happened to ENRON. However, it's certainly one layer of protection because when managed properly, a publicly traded company has to report to its Board of Directors and shareholders.
BET ON SPORTS does exactly that...
There are several MAIN reasons why I have a change of heart (besides the fact that they did pay to be on here, like everyone else).
1-I am now 100% certain that GARY KAPLAN & NORM (TOM MILLER) are no longer involved with BET ON SPORTS & MILLENIUM respectively IN ANY CAPACITY...
2-The NEW MANAGEMENT of BOS has gone out of their way to answer any questions I asked of them. (I am also working behind the scenes to help straighten up some of the MESS that the OLD MANAGEMENT under Gary K, left behind them)...
3-There have been ZERO complaints sent to EOG since our inception...
4-They have agreed to allow either the General or myself intervene on behalf of ANY player who has a dispute, period...
5-I have an account with them and several of my Friends do too. ALL of us have been much happier since the change in management took place...
Does this excuse or exonerate what happened under the OLD FLAGSHIP?
I think NOT.....
But, I feel confident that if you give BOS or MILLENIUM a shot, you will be satisfied and notice a change...
THE SHRINK

THE SHRINK said:JRock,
I've been tempted to do so, but I haven't and don't plan on it...
However, as Joe pointed out (who has known me longer than most), my problems were mainly with the previous owners of BOTH BOS & MILLENIUM...
They are gone...
BOS can be trusted, and if I can BET with them, why can't you?
P.S.
I'll even back them for you with my own money sir...
JRock7997 said:I am still a newbie to this business, but have played at Millenium before. Didnt really care for them, but it wasnt a big deal.
My problems, and why I am upset is that you said one think and did another. Are you really looking out for us?
THE SHRINK said:Last post in this thread for tonight...
10 days ago I did not know that BOTH of the PREVIOUS OWNERS were COMPLETELY GONE!
THE SHRINK
kosar said:Hey 'Cobbler', did BOS management change in the last ten days? As in, the last time Shrink railed on about BOS? I didn't think so.
He saw some money and took it. Hopefully this puts an end to his lectures, but I tend to doubt it. Arrogance is hard to shake for this hypocrite.
David your posts don't bother me and they never have. Calling out books for shady behavior is just fine with me. Maybe your frequency is a bit much and the lie detecter episode was embarrassing but I believe your message is noble. I am all for the players.Royalbasher said:Does anyone wonder why they are trying to abolish off shore gambling? With the likes of ROYAL,BETUS/OMNI, ROBERTO FROM TOW, RAIDER, AND OF, YOU CANT BLAME THEM.

"Anyone wth half a brain should know I don't need BOS'S business bad enough to compromise the INTEGRITY of this site...
Otherwise, ROYAL, BETUS and some others would be on EOG too, but hey, they aren't...
Hmmmmm.....
THE SHRINK"
How long before BetUS and the others show up?

Here's a Chevrolet commercial during the hockey game and I'm watching it. I think Chevrolets are shit and I'll never buy one. That doesn't mean that I'm going to change the the channel and watch something else, I'm enjoying the hockey game.
Here are BOS and Millenium commericals while I'm reading and posting at EOG. I think BOS and Millenium are shit and I'll never post up there. That doesn't mean that I'm going to change the web site and read something else, I'm enjoying EOG.

SCI said:If I was a new member of this forum today and had an interest in posting up at BOS, after reading the forums I would be mightly confused..
SCI said:I find it odd that BOS would want to advertise here after the constant drubbing they took esculaded by the Shrink himself the last couple of months, new management or not. I guess whoever runs the show at BOS doesn't read the forums.
Bad publicity is still publicity one way or another I suppose.
If someone googled BOS, they would probably find a post here with the site owner ripping them to shreds anyway, so what's the point? :+signs8-1
