Just curious, how much do you have in your VO/MVP/BOS account(s)?

I was curious to know how many of you have funds locked down at a VO/BOS/MVP book right now, and what is your balance?

I'm just curious to know... and how does that balance compare to what you normally have on-hand in a book atg any one time?

Have they publicized any statistics as to what's at stake, how much in balances they have, etc.?

I have about $1300 in an MVP account right now. That's a pretty high balance for me (recreational player, $20-$50 a play).

I also have convinced myself to gamble knowing that I can lose funds in the unregulated environment at any moment due to things out of my control. So I guess I'm not sweating. Just annoyed.

LOL nah not really man, i don't play at a shitty book like BOS or MVP, man.

I play at Pinny, 5dimes, Bet365, Bodog, and a few others for other sports and Locals, so I didn't know the money situation with the aforementioned books.

I feel for the people who are losing their money due to that, that's very very crappy, and a reason why to go with a big international book.

doddi, I have the same amount as you at around 1400(I think) at MVP. Have a couple other books but they are not effected right now.
Personally I think the money at MVP is gone and we won't see it. They said they would be open last friday, then monday and now soon. They are stalling. Hope i am wrong

I hope you are wrong too, Sara. I do not have any money on deposit at these books but I believe those that do will be able to access their accounts soon.

Good to see you around and I look forward to your insight in the coming NCAAF season.

Sara I agree they are stalling. They know as soon as they open up there is going to be a rush from everyone pulling out their money. Its going to be tough for these books to rebound with so many other quality books out there that didnt shut down for this.

I truly believe this is not true and you will get your money. Of course that does not mean a whole lot right about now - but if possible try to remain patient and keep the faith. I would not keep saying this if I did not believe it.

was spekaing with my offshore book. Who happens to be right down the road from Beton Sports and he has been told that MVP, BOS + others have been oredred by the US government that they have to return any and all funds in the customers accounts.

I am suprised that these guys have not re-opened- does not bode well.

No. Not according to my guy. When the charges were filed, the cahrges included a statement saying that they had to repay any and all US customers balances if asked.
Not sure if they will , but that's what I was told.

I actually spoke with this guy for about 20 minutes because I am a little leary of putting some NFl money in any of these internet books right now.
Being Canadian he said I would not be affected , but my money might get held up if this happened to another group of books.

good news for the players. The company has decided to choose the investors/players over top management.
