I can't believe my book encourages cock fighting!

[John Anthony]

I go through betcascade.com and never really paid any attention to the home page until today. This is their write up on cock fighting. I don't encourage it... though it is an interesting write up...

"In the United States, famous presidents who were lovers of the game were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln. It was socially acceptable and encouraged for a gentleman to have a flock of gamecocks and to be an expert on the sport. At one point, the U.S. Became a center for cockfighting activities and events. Cockfights were even held in the committee rooms of the president. It is said that the fighting-cock almost became the national emblem. It lost by one vote to the american eagle.

If you are still betting at Cascade, it is likely you can kiss your money goodbye. Lenny, the owner of Cascade has made only a handfull of payouts in the past several months but continues to accept deposits. This is the biggest scam book that is currently in business and that will probably not be for much longer.

Two of the 72 owed BetCascade (SBR rating F) account holders that filed payout complaints with SBR report receiving a $1,000 check today. Cascade stated in an email to SBR that 40 users will receive payment but has yet to answer questions regarding future payments and when additional account holders may receive a check. Once payment by check has cleared it will be reflected on the player balance sheet.

BetCascade (SBR rating F) owner tells SBR that 40 payouts have been sent this week. If a new withdrawal is received it will be the 2nd confirmed payout in seven months. Some players are expected to receive checks of up to $1,000.

SBR collecting account information from BetCascade (SBR rating F) victims
Cascade balance holders are invited to provide their account information to SportsbookReview which will sponsor and organize action in an attempt to assist in collecting delinquent balances. Options include establishing a trust account in Costa Rica where Cascade would agree to fund the account weekly. Accumulated funds would be dispersed to players quarterly on a percentage basis. The second and more likely option is a class-action suit. An appointed representative for the group of owed players would pursue funds through the Costa Rica legal system. SBR has verified one payment to a BetCascade post-up player since March 26th. BetCascade.com is currently taking wagers and aggressively pursuing new customers.
