GCS and "the list"

[MarkA]

Hey Jeff & Brian,

Could I ask why Grand Central Sports is no longer on the list?

I ask because I’ve now been waiting days for a simple PayPal payout from them with no word while they used to send out PayPal in under an hour usually.

Are the "watchdogs" asleep on the job...lol?

The list . . .

speaks for itself, I think.

If they aren't there, neither is my money. Get it?

[Jeff]

It's always been my method of operation not to make specific comments about books being dropped from the list unless we're dealing with an obvious situation.

If a book is not there, we're advising not to play there.

Please keep us posted in your withdrawal.

I justed called GCS for a payout, they gave me an appointment time to call back ?? I will keep you posted !

[brink]

Great. That's all we need. Another one down the tubes. Tombed2001 please keep us posted!

[MarkA]

Will keep everyone posted.....

I've been having all kinds of problems getting my money

from Grand Central too.

I've been trying for a week to get a payout.

Last week I tried using Paypal and they wouldn't process it, saying something about availability, same with neteller.

So I've been waiting for a fedex delivery that hasn't came and doesn't look like it is coming

And a western union that probably won't happen either

And I do have an appointment for this afternoon to talk with someone there.

It doesn't look good and I'm extremely pissed

[Jeff]

Well, as I mentioned this morning, I don't like to comment unless we're dealing with an obvious situation. It appears as though we now have an obvious situation.....

GCS has attributed the current slow pay situation to the Aces/Camelot problems.

The 1st report of a potential problem trickeld in before either of those books were in trouble.

Forum members,

Grand Central has also been feeling the industry pinch and has already taken the appropriate steps to be able to weather any storm. Since Aces went out of business and Camelot's recent problems we have had an abnormal amount of payout requests.

We apologize for any payout delays, but rest assured that within a short time we will be right back on schedule, and most importantly EVERY player will continue to be paid on request on a timely basis!

If you have any questions regarding your account status, please feel free to contact us at custsvc@gcsports.com or 1-800-213-3370.

Regards.Alex Powers, Peter Jacoby, Mike Nichols

Am I the only one not overwhelmed with confidence here?

Then why didn't you say anything then?

I requested a PO via regular mail over a month ago which was suppose to take 14 working days and have yet to recieve. I called them and they said it must have got lost and would stop payment and re-issue another one via FED-EX at no charge. I called them this morning and their suppose to give me a tracking # today after 3PM EST.
I will let everyone know the results.

I was wondering why Margaita is on the ODDS-WIZ feed but not on the list?

[Jeff]

Ric,

We need to seperate the lines feed and the list/bettorsworld......

MarkA- I did. Via the list. They were not just taken off the list yesterday. They have been off for some time now.

[MarkA]

Well, I guess I’m just going to have to check that thing every day now…

I do have to give you props for telling people not to play at Camelot from the day they opened though. I was going to post up there so you saved me on that one.

Meanwhile, surprisingly, (or is that, not surprisingly?) GCS is still on the Major’s list….
