Lightbulb latest news on off shore gambling

the CEO and 8 other executives for betonsports have been arrested on 5-6 different counts and with this news all other off shore gaming stocks plumited today with the threat of the united states cracking down. You have been warned not only by me but I saw this on CNN and the nightly news. they have haulted trading on betonsports and the other gaming stocks droped over %20. Dont be a victom!!!
It sure was fun while it lasted,I was even thinking about opening an account with bodog until I called them and they highly recemended I wait a month or so.

quit causing paranoia, especially if you want your money in the book back do you think youre better off with a book where everybody is withdrawing or people are still deposting, what would playdough in your situation?

why dont you read some of the threads on this topic and see if your info is redundant to the forum

you must be rich or ignorant, 80 percent of the money overseas is american and now that i cant call or email or even log on to betonsports to see how my $18000.00 is. your either really addicted or just dumb to even send any money up to an off shore account right now and I have had an account at a couple of different places overseas for about 12 years, 8 years at bos

lol Im far form ignorant

like I said youre dumb if you think you have a better chance of getting your money causing paranoia

the only book getting heat is BoS

I assure you Im not addicted to gambling, you sounds distraught take a deep breathe, who said I was sending more money offshore.

But I certainly do not perpetuate the panic, I truly do believe this witchhunt will be over after BoS

If you knew anything about internet commuincations youd know this cant be stopped and the govt knows that, this is extrotion of one of the books (huge marketing) who went a little overboard on mainstream advertising

the goverment is kind of funny, Its alot like Barry bonds they are not going to stop until everyone involved is accounted for. I have been telling everyone here that bos would nt open on friday and probably wont reopen I just wish I might find another sports book That i did nt have to worry about. I am trying to stay within the law sending money overseas rather than the 2 local books I have played which is againt the law. so i am punished for being an upstanding person

youre just thickheaded

explain how spreading panic is goign to help your chances of getting your money?

secondly, the exec were fired from BoS and are paying for their own legal fees, thats a good sign for both investors in the stock/and players

just keep the faith.

Yeah i can't see that happening either.. Never seen a book refuse money no matter the circumstance. ( LOL )

Anyways, As you can tell this chit is beginning to get to us. ( The Players ) and we just gotta hope it goes away.

Think positive and we'll get through it guys.

Post and thoughts like this is exactly what the government wants you to do. They know they have no real way of dealing with this except for scare tactics and from what I am seeing its working quite well with all these people who are posting on different sites that they are removing their monies, not depositing monies, that is exactly what the government wants to happen. Once again this is all about bullying tactics on behalf of the US government and the only ones who will actually stop online sites are the public themselves, once again business economics 101 people don't wager, sites go out of business and whats left at the end is a very limited competition for the bettor which means books don't need special bonus offers, or lowered juice, or any other method they might use to entice you. In the end the only ones who truly lose out in this is the general public.

Don't get fooled, take a deep breath, relax, and wait for this to play out. Once again the book you are talking about is not a run by the night type of outfit, this is a listed company with many, many shareholders and alot of government problems(within their jurisdictions) they would have to face by going away in the middle of the night
