A faster boot than REALITY ????

[Socceroo]

I think that I have just been given a faster boot than Reality. Not from a sportsbook though but from a supposed Betting Forum. The site in question has a bright red interface and has a nickname ‘RX’. Otherwise known as The ************ (unless that bit gets edited out as ****** !!).

I am still not quite sure why as they have still not replied to my e-mail requesting information. It was my first post there as I have only just found the site and some guy was commenting on the deterioration of Bowmans service, their lines maker ***** was mentioned and I made a comment that I know for a fact he deals not 2 lines but as many as he wants to, and that he boots winners. I logged on today to find that the post had been deleted and when I tried to post again to enquire why, it said that I had been banned.

I really cannot fathom all the crazy censorship on these so-called ‘watchdog’ sites, it really is too much. They will never be taken seriously industry wide unless they kick out this favouritism otherwise they will just end up as a place where advertisers can come in the knowledge that any controversial stuff will get pulled. I mean I get really pissed off when a book boots winners as a policy and treats people totally differently because they are successful. I think that these books are crooked, the only criteria seems to be do they pay. Well off course a joint like this can pay because they have weeded out ALL but the total suckers who play on regardless and are unaware of the books ‘hidden agenda’.

I thought that the point of these sites was to let those suckers know what was going on; it appears that I have been foolish in that belief and I am very very disheartened.

I'm equally disheartened that someone would come in here hiding behind a posting board username and mention the real name of an individual that works on the other side of the counter.

I am sorry to hear that Jeff, I would like to hear why you are disheartened though. Just saying that you are disheartened is not much of a reply to the point I am trying to make, which is the ludicrous censorship operated by the RX. The name had already been mentioned in the post and I was merely responding to it as I have had some experience of the guy, as did several other posters. Their posts did not get pulled, as a site administrator perhaps you could shed some light on this logic for me..

As for hiding, are you really trying to tell me that I am the only poster in this forum that uses a username, I think not. When I began posting here I set up my username as I had seen others do, had they used their real names I would have followed suit. What do you presume that I am hiding from?

What was done or said elsewhere is of no concern to me.

I also happen to agree with you when you say "just saying you are disheartened is not much of a reply". It's very similar to "just saying" something about a book without backing it up with facts.

An invitation was extended to you to contact me personally, and prove your accusations. You have not followed up.

That leads me to believe you are a bag of wind with an axe to grind, and I will have to believe that unless you can prove to me otherwise. The offer still stands. If you can't deliver, then keep your personal vendettas off the site.

As for usernames, of course I'm not suggessting that you are the only one that uses a username. EVERYONE uses a username. No problem with that. But when you're going to go after someone, and name names, you should have the cujones to identify yourself, rather than hiding behind the name. Naming the individual suits no purpose other than to piss him off, or create problems for him. Unless you were born yesterday, you obviously realize that, which is why you did it in the 1st place.
