Has anyone used them so far.

I think theDevil is ok but how can anyone even consider a new book with the industry the way it is. Any book for that matter. And this does not even consider the political situation in Venezuela.

[bullseye]

WOW! Only open a couple weeks and already on "the list"? Does this not go against what was previously stated at this site about endorsing new books?........seems VERY strange to me.

i just learned this new book is in venezuela

now that's a STABLE country, wot???

[Blowfish]

Does a Watchdog site having a book not somewhat skew their unbiased opinion for others? Are they IN Venezuela or one of the islands off the coast?

[Blowfish]

I just read that the army toppled the President of Venezuela today. Doesn't sound like a good place to be doing ANY kind of business.

I hear there is space available for rent in Israel--mainly Gaza and the West Bank.

Actually, Venezuela is probably the most stable South American country. Don't kid yourselves, the coup happened for one reason only. Oil... What are the chances the US is somewhat involved wit the new government? Anyone seen the oil futures drop as soon as the goverment got toppled? Funny how those analysts had a handle on what the incoming group's opinion was on their output volume.

Back to gambling related issues, I think the wait a year and see attitude is the best way to deal with new books. One football season might not be enough about the liquidity of a new book but can be a strong indicator.

Bullseye, "the list" is located here:

Not on top of the page.

The coup on Venezuela isn't really a surprise. Tension has been building for some time and a lot of Venezuelan citizens have been flooding into other Central and South American countries for awhile. And of course our government has our hands in it. Don't they have their hands in just about everything?

Waiting a year for a new book to prove itself is a good idea; however, if no one posts up with them for a year, they are definitely not going to be around......

Jeff,

so the books at the top are just advertisers and not necessarily bettorsworld approved books?

[Jeff]

Bullseye, not exactly. Bettorsworld won't take advertising from just any book. We have turned down quite a few. I think just about every book on top is on "the list" though being on the list is not a prerequisite.

For example I know of a couple of books that will be opened soon that will be run by people that have had a long history in this business. While I wouldn't put the book on the list right away, we would accept advertising from them.

The list is pretty much self explanatory. It's books who have proven themselves over time. Some longer than others. It's also our way of saying DON'T PLAY with a book that's been dropped from the list or that's not on the list, without having to write a sensationalized article to draw attention to ourselves.

The Devil is a failed Bookmaker who was dead broke a few years ago. He was running a Sportsbook as a minority partner and his line moves and decisions were running the sportsbook into the ground. The losses were mounting up and he moved on. Now he opens a new book. Gee I wonder what is in the future of this book considering the past performance of the present manager.

[Blowfish]

So the Devil is no longer associated with Major Wager? Or he still is (hence the name of the book). Has anyone actually played with them to have any experience? How long have they been open?

[cecil]

I have played there. Good experience so far.
