"Other Site" Sucks

[reno]

Now, they've also got a fake Reno posting. Anything you read over there posted by "Reno" is totally bogus. The only site that I post on is Bettorsworld. It should now be clear to everyone--if there was any doubt before--that S & S have zero credibility.

Shrink is a funny guy. Did he honestly think these games he played would work? RE posting at other sites do not see a need. I severely doubt that anybody who goes over there, doesn't come here or The Devils site first. Should be some interesting dialog over there between, Shrink ,Sting, PufftheMagicdragon, Sandy and of course Stick(the new Major) and now the new stars of the rx site the shrinks version of Reno and In the Know, not to mention his version of yours truly. Hey perhaps he can come up with a complete Bettorsworld cloned puppet show, a whole parallel universe. Might be interesting.
I cannot wait!

These "make believe" posters we refer to as "ghosters" NOT posters. please note:

1) his forum DOES NOT require a valid email address. why you ask?
because if they needed to get a new email address each time they used one of their "ghosters" it would be too much work. now you can simply go in and poof! you are allowed to post.

2) the other site has attempted many times to lure some of the top posters to their site with little or no success.

3) Advertisers are finally starting to see the fraudulant practices made by this site. Upon release of my latest newsletter last week, i was immediatley chastised by ghosters at this site. they said my leter was "disgusting." what were "they" talking about? not one of the questions/issues i brought up were addressed however.

now that people other than bettorsworld owners are now finding a big problem with this fraud of a site, i hope the word travels fast.
finally, watch the ghosters come out of the walls now!!

Actually I just checked out their site for the first time in ages and I have a different question which I'm hoping someone there can answer.

To quote a 1980's tv commercial
"Where's the beef???"

It seems like every post is slamming this person or that person or telling shrink how great he is etc. I went through 4 pages of posts and can't find one that actually talks about gambling or heaven forbid which games represent good bets.

They apparently have separate forums to discuss games but they have virtually no posts in them and seem limited to baseball, NFL, college football and (gulp) WNBA. Yet it seems they get about 2 posts a day from touts not giving their picks but rather saying "subscribe to my service".

To me it looks more like the National Enquirer than a sports betting site.

Hartley,

I agree with your comments for the most part, but the WNBA guy (SteveH) was fabulous this year. I made some nice dinero following his plays.

[SLAM DUNK]

In all fairness to the people over there who support the other forums Basketball/Football/Baseball, these are real people, out there giving real picks and some of these guys are very good cappers. Sting and Shrink have nothing to do with the other forums, they are strictly in the offshore forum, though occasionally shrink will throw up a pick under his real identity.

[reno]

"The Shrink" deleted the fake Reno post on the "Other Site." But I'm still terribly traumatized by it.(I'm even downing a bottle of valium as I write this post.) And what is particularly disturbing is that I was actually counting on my forthcoming sessions with the "The Shrink" to cure me of my obsession with beautiful, hot young Asian women. I figured that "The Shrink" would be the perfect therapist for me, given that I am a pseudo-intellectual and that he is a pseudo-"shrink." Instead, I now have scheduled sessions with Dr. Ruth, the famous sex doctor who also serves as the sexual surrogate. I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that after sessions with Dr. Ruth, men fantasize about getting it on with Barbara Bush rather than with sexy, hard-bodied teen-agers.

Over there it's like the BIZARRO WORLD episode of Seinfeld. We've Got Bizzaro Reno, Bizzaro In The Know...I wonder if they'll come up with a Bizaro REALITY. What if the Bizzaro Reno and Bizarro REALITY becam friends and started getting along. What would happen then. Would the whole Bizarro world implode???

[reno]

Greedo, a famous psychiatrist by the name of Thomas Szasz (not sure of spelling) wrote a book called the "The Myth of Mental Illness."
However, if Dr. Szasz saw what "The Shrink" was doing at the "Other Site," I think he'd retract his claim that mental illness is a myth.

[LysanderSpooner]

Reno, In my opinion, Thomas Szasz is hands down the most Pure and Principled libertarian alive today. He is now 80 years old, but seemed sharp as ever in a July interview in Reason magazine.

[reno]

Lysander, it's been 30 years since I read Szasz, and to be frank, I can't remember any specifics. However, I do remember that the guy was a true iconoclast who questioned the prevailing conventional wisdom pertaining to sanity and mental illness.

I wonder what Szasz, from a psychological point of view, would say about "The Shrink's" behavior. From a sociolgical point of view, what I would say is: If you add "The Shrink's" clone posters to the clone sportsbooks with clone betting lines, the offshore sportsbetting industry is truly a "brave new world" in the midst of cyberspace.

Guess who has a full page ad and a two-page article in the "Football Betting Guide"? You got it, the doctor himself.

The FBG publication is thought by some to be bogus, because their recommended offshore books may be determined mostly by who's willing to pay the advertising fees. Their number one recommendation is of course NASA, along with a few good books and a few most here have probably never heard of.

[bgeorgia]

Surprise surprise surprise! When I documented all this NASA/SHRINK stuff I was all but crucified by people that simply did not exist otheer than in shrink's mind. IN MY OPINION, shrink has been bought by NASA in an attempt to gain a bigger market share on the Net. NASA did not realize at the time that shrink is a non player and now has been completely exposed but not by me. Others are screaming bloody murder about how his posting forum has turned into the laughing stock of the gaming world. books were fooled by his empty promises and so called "respect" he has in this industry. Bettorsworld is tired of this clown's antics and aftter getting several threatening emails from him today, will become more aggressive in our efforts to expose this idiot to the world.
we are tired of taking little shots day after day from him and any business will react at some point. It is now time we clarify our position with him. stay tuned!

I really think the best approach is just to ignore the other site.

Brian,
If you have the better product, why get into a pissing match. I would think that only benefits the competition.
