Asked his reaction to Bettorsworld being the only gambling information website included on the blacklist, Bettorsworld co-owner Brian Georgia replied:
"It's an interesting list, but I wonder who formulated this and what criteria they used. And with all the troubles the NCAA has, why are they focusing on something as trivial and worthless as this list? They should clearly be focusing on something else, anything else. However, we are honored to be mentioned in the same company as such greats as Jack Snow, Mark Gastineau and Hank Stram."
A top sports handicapper who did not want to be named and who was not listed on the ban list said:
"I'm pissed off I'm not on the list. What great publicity for the handicappers and others who are on there. Being on that list is a badge of honor, sort of like the reporters who were on Nixon's 'Enemies List' back in the 1970's."
