BetEuroSport - Flew the Coop?

[sportshobby]

Website is down, toll-free number is down, local direct dial number rings with no answer all morning.

I've called EIGHT times for my payment, and each time I've been lied to. Every time it's "going out today" or "to be mailed tomorrow" or whatever the story of the day is.

I fear the worst.

I'll be in San Jose next week - perhaps I should go pick up my money in person. Does anyone know if they still are at the same physical address?

[c-sense]

Relax kiddo, they gave me a call yesterday, they're changing offices and have a new number, but i don't have it with me, i'm sure they'll post it up soon.

[sportshobby]

Maybe Santa will come today and deliver my money. But it's been a month now and many calls and promises. Why should I believe anything else.

Any reasonable sportsbook with ongoing business would announce PRIOR to the move, don't you think?

Relax is not something that I can do on this one.

We have been told by one of the most solid books in this industry, that the new ownership of beteuro is solid as a rock and will be fine once the transition is complete.

We shall see..........

[ppeter]

Hope so. I still have a big stake in there tied up in early bowl plays. From what I heard at other sites, the new owner is an individual bookmaker from Canada. Can anyone confirm?

[ppeter]

server is back up. all is well.

It is difficult for me to believe that they would shut down now. If they had planned on closing and stiffing people, they would have just done it instead of trying to re-organize under new ownership. That being said, I'm still resting easier after having lost almost every bet I put in with them over a 3-day period and reducing my balance from 15+ dimes to 6 dollars.

[REALITY]

RENO,

OUT OF CURIOUSITY,DO YOU SEE YOURSELF RE-POSTING THERE?

REALITY

[reno]

Reality, except for a couple of plays per day, I'm basically done with baskets after Saturday. If BetEurosport is doing fine when I re-load my accounts for baseball, I'll probably re-post with them.

[sportshobby]

If the new owner isn't smart enough to pay the customers promptly who are owned money, I wouldn't touch the place with a ten foot pole.

[sportshobby]

Reno, I'm shocked by your reply. Do you not hold the new owner responsible for paying money owed by the sportsbook to its customers?

[Ronbets]

reno, your reply comes across as selfish to say the least. That 6 dollar balance could easily be 30dimes. I think sportshobby would show you a little more compassion than you afforded him.

[sportshobby]

I dont' need compassion. Actually, my figure wasn't really that much. This was probably a stroke of luck. When I found out that they were posting NBA lines early, I had planned to re-post a significant amount of $$ with them immediately upon receipt of my earlier request. But now - no way!

[Ronbets]

sportshobby,

You open up a topic inferring you've got multi dimes owed. In a related thread you call the BM at Bet Euro a LIAR. Here I am trying to console you. Now you hedge and say it wasn't really that much money and don't need any compassion. NO PROBLEMO. You don't have it.

reno, I apologize for the above post.

[sportshobby]

Ronbets, does the amount of the figure really matter? Actually it was multi-dimes, just not many.

These guys have lied to me over and over. It's well past the time that we can blame the previous owner. So for Reno to say that he might post with these guys in the future just blew me away.
