Perplexa Books

[Max the Knife]

Stay away from 5 dimes and other perplexa books they have been holding back credit backs.

Johnny D mentioned something about this in another thread.

Does anyone know if it is due to technical reason, due to a bad credit card processing company, or due to their (5dimes) own internal problems?

Max,

is this credit cards only, or is it all forms of payouts?

All forms of payouts.

Max,
Are you or someone you know personally being slow-payed?

Reason I ask is because I've taken 3 withdrawals from 3 different Perplexa books this month and all were on time(one of which was a credit which hit my card in 2 days. I also have another on the way if anyone would like to know if it gets here).So right now I'm a bit confused. Between the posts here and on the Rx site, one gets the impression that the Perplexa ship is sinking fast, yet the Fedex truck keeps stopping at my door.
I would appreciate it if anyone with personal experience could shed some light on this.

thanks,
rfd

rfd,

No personal experience, but I would probably be worried if some of my bankroll were tied up there. There are so many outs out there with no BS surrounding them.

peace,

Some very good questions in this thread.

We need some frank explanations.

I can't help but feel there might be a degree of sensationalism to all this. Only facts are gonna sort it out.

Me and my $500 at 5Dimes are hoping all will be well.

[Max the Knife]

RFD state from what book you got paid from.

[rfd]

Max,
If they ever bring back the Spanish Inquisition you definitely have a bright future in front of you. BTW, you still haven't mentioned which book is slow-paying you.

But for anyone who has money at Perplexa books, the books were: 5 Dimes(right before they crashed),Abetz and Aloha

As Fred mentioned, what we need are some facts. I am obviously concerned, since I have money at Perplexa books, but I can't help but look back at the recent situation with Premiere League and wonder if this isn't being blown out of proportion.

Once again, if anyone is presently being slow-payed(or being payed for that matter) by a Perplexa book I would really appreciate hearing about it.

thanks,
rfd

rfd, you're right, we need the facts. The best way to get them, and the best way to avoid the sensationalism, is to have a representative from these books come into the forum and provide those facts.

I know this can be a brutal bunch; but promptly addressing such concerns here is better than ignoring them.

[REALITY]

NOBODY WANT'S TO SEE THE PLAYERS PROTECTED MORE THAN ME.

ON MORE THAN ONE OCASSION I HAVE GIVEN A BIASED ENDORSEMENT TO A NUMBER OF BOOKS.

YOU MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH MY POSTS OR THE TONE OF MY POSTS SOMETIMES BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE I HAVE ENOUGH CREDIBILITY WHEN I ENDORSE SOMEONE.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DINNER TONIGHT WITH THE TWO OWNERS OF ISLAND AND SPORTBET.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT THEY ARE FRIENDS OF MINE AND I AM BIASED TO THAT END,BUT I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS IN THIS BUSINESS WHO I DON'T ENDORSE BECAUSE MY INTEGRITY IS EVERYTHING TO ME.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM ENDORSING THESE TWO FINE BOOKS.

SPORTBET AND ISLAND DO THEIR OWN PAYOUTS.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SERVERS.

AND SOON I HOPE THEY WILL HAVE NEW COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BETTER MANAGE THE SPORT WAGERING SIDE OF THE BUSINESS.

THESE ARE TWO FRIENDS WHO MET IN COLLEGE AND EACH HAVE STRONG BUSINESS BACKGROUNDS WHICH IS WHY THEY RUN THEIR SHOP WITH A BUSINESS LIKE ATTITUDE.

IF YOU MET THEM,THEY EVEN LOOK LIKE WALL STREET.

THEY ALSO HAVE TREMENDOUS INTEGRITY AND LOYALTY AND THATS WHY THEY HAVE NOT THROWN UNIFIED GAMING UNDER THE BUS.

THEY ARE EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL, AND MAY HAVE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT TO THAT END IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE.

I ONLY FELT COMPELLED TO MAKE THIS POST BECAUSE THEY ARE UNJUSTLY BEING LUMPED INTO THE UNIFIED GAMING MESS.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK THAT WILL ONLY GET BETTER WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME...

REALITY

Reality, I believe you are right regarding Island Casino and Sportbet.com. I play with both books, and Chester, whom you apparently know, is a true BM and not one of those clone-joint monkeys who moves on air. Now that these books offer daily pay-outs, all they need to do to fully satisfy me is to improve their phone wagering.

[sportshobby]

How about also post their odds on one of the line feeds?

[bbuster]

Chester/Reno- Whats the difference between Island and Sportbet since it sounds like they are run by the same people? Different lines? Different limits? Different bet offerings? Do they have Golf/Nascar wagering?

[reno]

Bbuster, the lines can differ significantly between Island and Sportbet. And that is because Chester moves the lines independedntly, according to action, at each book.
