    Unfortunately no progress has been made. The book now refuses to discuss this situation. This is their stance even though they had told me that they were confident that overwhelming response to my post would be in their favor. Now that they see this is not the case I had really hoped they would reevaluate their position. They refuse to do that and they refuse to provide "their side" of the story. It is clear to me that they have not responded with their side of the story because, with a few exceptions, they agree with my account of the story. The only thing that appears to be in dispute is what the settlement should be. I feel it should be $16,000 and they feel it should be $0.

    Clarifications of what the exceptions are for which they disagree with my account of what happened:

    -When I cashed out for the original balance that he reinstated after feeling bad about taking it, he said that was an implied settlement. I don't feel you can have a settlement unless you have explicit communication about the terms of the settlement.

    -Are my friend and myself the same person? The book at one point indicated that they thought maybe we were the same person. In subsequent conversations he did not pursue this point. Rather, he brought about the point that a partnership between my friend and myself was involved to take advantage of his book. I have agreed that my friend and I did discuss the bets before we made them.

    I have asked the book to offer their explanation of why they think a settlement of $0 is fair and/or to respond to any details that I have provided that they feel are not accurate. I even suggested they do this anonymously by providing Jeff of Bettorsworld with the info so he could relay the post. They have declined this as well.

      Now, MLB FAN, it is definitely time for you to come forth with the name of the book. Why
      protect them now? You gave them every chance in the world to do what you considered the right thing and they have refused to do so. I really doubt, you will get any further comment from anyone until you name the book and certainly aren't going to get paid by keeping it a secret. So if you have 2 legs to stand on, bring it on. I have backed your position(the only one to do so) up until this point, now you are on your own.

      We came to bat for you in sharing our opinions, it is time for you to come to bat for us and let us know who this book is so we do not end up in the same position you are in.

        SLAM DUNKSKY ol buddie:

        It appears you may now be seeing this situation from the perspective from which I was looking at it.

        This book (if MLBfan has brought all the facts here) is really not looking as though they are a pillar of the sportsbook community.

        I sure hope I don't have funds there, and I sure hope no one else sends money to them only to find out later this is a business in trouble, or one that's discovering it's really not that hard to "stiff" a big winner if they decide they don't want to or can't pay.

        By not revealing the sportbook's identity only increases the chances that they will do it again to others and is certainly not in the spirit of what this forum is all about.

        I honestly think----unless a person comes here with all the facts-----they don't deserve much attention. Not only are they not being fair to us--- the members of this forum--- who try to alert others about no-pays or changes in policies or bad attitudes, but they wind up doing themselves a dis-service and most likely will get ignored by the book as well.

          mlbfan.....

          Please please please....

          Give us the name of the shop in question.... I also want to know the tickets involved.

          If you expect people to aid you from here, it is time to fess up who it is.

          It is very apparent you are not going to get anywhere on your own now.

          They have come out and basically said screw you, we gave you 8k or whatever the amount was and we are done....

          So now you have absolutely nothing to lose, while the rest of this forum community can possibly be at risk...

          I can only ask that you reveal the shop in question....

          The power of this forum goes a long long way...
