Magnum Pro Football

[The Judge]

Today I received a copy of this magazine for the first time. I believe that BigdaddyQH also pasted that he had received it last week.

The timing of this issue of the magazine really has me puzzled as there are ads for MVP, VWager, Millennium, Players SB and Bettors Net Sportsbooks as well as Popular Poker, Gecko Casino, All Tracks, Poker Elite and Bogarts Casino. There were also a couple of full page ads for tout services and the Offshore Gaming Association which apparently still "recommends MVP Sportsbook as the top sportsbook in the world". In light of recent developments, I would have to say that this a pretty bold recommendation.

Every one of the gambling sites are under the Bet On Sports umbrella and have been shut down for weeks so I am confused as to why they went to the trouble and expense to print and distribute this publication that is obviously a shill for the various BOS shops.

However, the most interesting thing that I found in this magazine was a full page ad that states that “Magnum Pro Football guarantees your account with any sportsbook mentioned within this magazine, for the amount of $100,000.00 against non-payment and business failure.”

I am still in disbelief that this company would not only continue to publish this magazine but better yet, have the unmitigated gall to print this “guarantee”! While I doubt that anyone will be able to take Magnum Pro Football up on this, the following contact information for this publication is available:

Their website is www.magnumprofootball.com and when I tried to go there, I got the following message:

Sorry for the inconvenience

The site you are attempting to access is undergoing maintenance.

This maintenance time is necessary for important “behind the scenes” improvements.

LMAO, I bet there is a whole lot happening “behind the scenes” at Mall San Pedro these days.

Talk about your timing. This rag was under the BetOnSports umbrella. This mailer was scheduled to approximate the first week of the NFL pre-season. I guess someone forgot to pull the plug on the mailings when BetOnSports got the plug pulled on them.

My guess is the plug was not pulled because the publisher probably got paid and he needs to deliver so they can't come to them for a refund later. It does make them look like idiots though. JMO
