I understand what your saying... but you do realize that covers IS helping sites like that steal if they keep the advertisements up.
Covers is just as much in the wrong if they keep the advertisements up as I was for cussing you guys out.

Hey Brian, chill out and let these guys do their research. Being someone who owns an online website (nothing related to sports, etc), you can't simply remove an advertiser, especially if you have a good name in the industry. You have to wait until due diligence is done, and this may take a week or longer.
Heck...Michael Vick didn't start losing his sponsors for almost 2weeks.
Let covers do their job.
You're a very good poster on this site and I think you've done your part by making them aware of the situation.

The more respected watchdog sites have shut down sportsbook's advertising.
Only the people who really care about money more then there members have left sportsbook ads up (TheRX and covers).
It doesnt surprise me that there has been no real response yet. They probably just hope this goes away sooner then later and everything is forgotten and they keep getting paid. Welcome to the dirty business world.

Check the thread I had up....covers put in an offical letter from Sportsbook....
LOL is that the official response? Is that all were gonna get outta covers?
"Yes, lets ask a crook if they stole."
Its like asking bin laden if he knocked down the towers... he says no i didnt do it... so then they decide to let him off the hook cause he says he didnt do it.
LOL
what a joke.

Sportsbook.com: We will cancel winnings and keep player losses
Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) tells SBR that they will not reverse the
decision to confiscate parlay winnings. The Jazette Group has added
insult to injury today by releasing a statement saying they may also
keep player losses. The statement starts by referencing vague house
rules and invites victims to ask for their accounts to be reviewed so
Sportsbook.com can decide whether to retroactively cancel losing
parlays as they did with winning wagers that took place after September
1st. The book has been accepting these types of wagers for years. The
latest rash of complaints take the Jazette operation from inefficient
error-prone giant to stiff-sportsbook status.
Sportsbook.com: If upon a second review of the account the decision
remains that the customer repeatedly and knowingly exploited the system
in order to place those wagers, then no further action will be taken. |
Read Full Statement
10.22.2007 Update: Sportsbook.com now stating that all losses in
this time frame will be refunded. Players should contact SBR to pursue
credit for losses.

Sportsbetting.com (SBR rating D+) joins BetUSA (SBR rating C-) in
stating that it will not confiscate winnings from correlated parlays,
which was the original action taken by service provider,
Sportsbook.com's (SBR rating D+) operation management. Any players that
have found their SportsBetting.com account to be debited should contact
SBR or Sportsbetting.com.
BetUSA has added the following rule to address the lack of software
control over correlated parlays. Other Sportsbook.com sister sites are
encouraged to add similar language and warn players via email that this
new stipulation exists.
Correlated parlay betting: The results of certain events can be
considered to be correlated. For example, in college football betting
on a heavy underdog (eg 35 point underdog) and the under in the game is
statistically correlated. If players consistently bet correlated
parlays then management reserves the right to regrade wagers. Wagers
will be split so that half the stake will go on the pointspread and
half on the under in the game. This rule applies from 19 October 2007.
This will only apply to those regularly staking $50 or more on parlays
and is intended only to limit professional bettors who consistently bet
correlated parlays.
SBR Rules Monitor: BetUSA
SBR continues to discuss this matter with Sportsbook.com management
with little progress. Sportsbook.com has agreed to credit players for
losing correlated parlays since September 1st. This is of little
consolation for most victims because only winning account holders were
robbed during a time period when Sportsbook.com noticed players beating
the book for large sums. Players do not have the option to recover
losses from periods prior when they may have sustained a losing run.
The offer by Sportsbook.com, although possibly reducing the amount
stolen, further illustrates why the actions are unjust.

Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D+) confiscates winnings made from
correlated parlay bets dating back over one month. SBR is currently
investigating complaints submitted by four players who were informed
via email that thousands would be deducted from their balances because
winnings derived from parlays where the legs of the parlay are
"linked." Wagering on Under the total score and the Underdog spread
would be an example of a correlated 2-team parlay. Some sportsbooks use
their software to prohibit these types of wagers. SBR is also
investigating a separate claim made by a player who states that over
$80,000 was confiscated because he utlized different sportsbook
websites within the Sportsbook.com family (Jazette ltd Group) of
sportsbooks. This has been allowed and often encouraged by the
different brands in the past. SBR will list updates for all
Sportsbook.com complaints ranging from instances of incorrectly graded
wagers to missing balances from sportsbook brands that defected from
the Sportsbook.com operation to other white label services.

Given the circumstances, I gave this the benefit of the doubt. I waited for Sportsbook.com’s response before I did anything. Once the response was posted, you continued to argue the point.
We have no reason to believe that Sportsbook.com is lying or did anything wrong based on their statement and therefore will keep them as an advertiser. Again you continue to argue despite several warnings.
We do not want this to drop off and be forgotten but there has to be a point where this is let go. If you're having troubles with the book, use some common sense and don't play with them. Simple as that. Again you argued.
I've had enough and have removed your account from our forums. You have abused your privileges on our forums and no longer able to post at Covers.com
