I have been playing at Betmaker for years and really like it there and since they got away from having a relationship with Sportbet I have noticed a huge difference there, and if I am correct they are in some type of relationship with Cris at this time.I use to find great numbers there all the time but they have seemed to tightened up now that Larry M is there oddsmaker if he is still there LOL.I always thought you had a bad rating on them before and could never figure out why,glad to see the upgrade

I guess your advertizing for books we shouldn't play at?

JW,

There are currently three books in the rookie project: 777rock, RichCoastSports and nojuice.

Please read the disclaimer of the rookie project:

Rookie Project disclaimer:

The Endorsed Rookie project is designed to provide visibility to newly established sports books that offer something new and unique to players. However players should always bear in mind that newer operations lack the test of time. While TOW guarantees a continuous monitoring on Endorsed Rookies books, players are invited to proceed with caution never depositing more than what they could afford to lose. Endorsed Rookies are covered by TOW Funds Safety Program.

Not only players are warned that these books lack the test of time, but they also fall under the insurance program.

Sounds more like a slippery way to take on one and all under the cloak of some goofy 'rookie project.' You get an 'A' for creativity, but so much for your 'TOW only takes elite books' crap.

Good Times.

How the Funds Safety Program Works

Sports books advertising with The Offshore Wire and TOW Forum participate to the Funds Safety Program. Advertisement fees are held in an Escrow Account for the length of the advertisement contract and will be distributed to players should a participating sportsbook become insolvent within the advertisement contract timeframe.

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?

Thanks.

Good Times.

What if the book owes more then the advertizing fee?

jwunder,

the program pays out on a first come first serve basis until the advertising funds are depleted.
