evo34 respected me enough 6 weeks ago that he sent me a pm seeking my opinion.

"Curious what your thoughts are on SBObitcoin?  Thanks."


Upset much that you got no response? Eating at you for the last 1.5 months?

WARNING WITHDRAWN.

Someone contacted me and told me that his account had also been suspended.
He found out that:

Had nothing to do with VPN/no VPN login.

SBObitcoin locked all accounts (except Peeps based on what he says !!!?Huh) to do a currency update - changing all to a system based on 6k HKD/BTC rather than the previous 4k HKD/BTC.

Communication didn't exist for 5 hours or more.

Apparently and hopefully just a perfect storm appearing to be a situation following in the footsteps of too many other btc books.

Will report if any problem remains but an acquaintance informed me his account was now reactivated with the new HKD amount.

Hopefully all is well...

What a panicky piece of sh1t you are..   You don't proclaim a book is "closed" within hours of something happening.  As irresponsible as it gets.

Who the hell are you?

You have 7 posts.

6 weeks ago you didn't even know what agents are or how they operate -

"Can anyone here describe how SBObitcoin actually works?   It seems like they actually deposit your funds to a Pinnacle account which you then login to.  So the risk in this case would be SBObitcoin taking money from the account and not paying you out, correct?  New to this agent thing, and just trying to figure out the mechanics and risk involved."


Now you're  already an expert, and pointlessly  pop into this thread - 2 weeks after the incident I reported is over -  to name call.


I do what I think is best to pass on info as quickly as possible to protect others.
Point out one instance of any harm done.
Yet if it turned out they were indeed closed, as many other btc books have done, I could have saved people money by preventing them from reloading to SBO's wallet.
If it was accurate, my funds were lost. I had nothing to gain, but hoped to help others with a warning.
The only downside is having ignorant a**holes like yourself mouthing off.


"You don't proclaim a book is "closed" within hours of something happening."

Take the time to read and absorb all 8 words of the title of this thread.
I never proclaimed them closed. I accurately reported that they appeared closed, and that accounts were suspended.


Try to take a chill pill, Mary, and learn more about the industry instead of pointlessly mouthing off and showing your ignorance.

Or try to avoid any more menstrual bleeding in the future, and simply ignore my posts.

Peeps Place -  "You do due diligence? That's why you said that SBOBitcoin closed? Your definition of due diligence is different than the rest of the world."

As you know, I didn't say they closed. I said that it appears that they are closed, as anyone can see from the title of this thread.

Peeps Place - "This is the last time that I reply to your lies. You know a guy that plays there. You called him an acquaintance. You never played there since you called the book a scam a while back."

I just glanced over my posts. I never used the word "scam" in relation to SBObitcoin.com.

I never said that they were a "scam". I never said I suspected they may be a "scam".

You are putting words in my mouth that you are inventing.

I did due diligence, unlike yourself, and this was appreciated by forum members.

Gogo- Seriously, what's wrong with you? It's lie after lie. Here was my review of SBOBitcoin.

Quote
SBObitcoin.com opens at an “A” rating surpassing Bitbook as the top rated place to play using bitcoins. SBObitcoin is an agent of the top sports books in the world in PinnacleSports, SBOBET and IBCBET. Players deposit bitcoins with SBObitcoin and they are then exchanged for your choice of Hong Kong dollars or Singapore dollars. The Asian dollars are then deposited into the sports book. The exchange rate of your deposits and withdraws will stay the same and not fluctuate. It takes 3-5 minutes for withdraws and six confirmations are needed for deposits. Live chat is open 24/7.

SBObitcoin has been in business for six months with bitcoin accounts and seven years overall. SBObitcoin states that they are one of the products of Ole Group Philippines Inc., and are licensed and regulated by the Government of the Philippines under First Cagayan Resort & Leisure Corporation.

There have been no reports of payout problems with SBObitcoin. Both Pinnacle Sports and SBOBET are top rated sports books in the world taking the highest wagers. Pinnacle takes the largest wagers on American sports while SBOBET takes the largest wagers in soccer. The book hold at Pinnacle is the lowest in the industry and SBOBET is not far behind.

"Gogo seems to be making some decent points.  I don't know anything about him or his motiviation.  However he's correct that you don't want to just parrot what gets said by the actual site as opposed to doing research and making sure the site is telling the truth."

"Seems as if Gogo is making quality points. There is no point of writing information on here unless it is validated. If we wanted to read what the site is saying we could just see that directly on the site. This thread should only be for accurate and confirmed information. Having unconfirmed information on this thread can only be misleading for people trying to find a book."

Peeps Place - "This is the last time that I reply to your lies. You know a guy that plays there. You called him an acquaintance. You never played there since you called the book a scam a while back."

I never called the book a scam.

I questioned whether they were a scam (the same question I ask about every new book), but investigated to verify claims made on their website before deciding.

Unlike you - you did a cut and paste of info posted on their website, and called it a "review".

The only 2 posters to comment on the thread were both appreciative of my efforts and both agreed that simply repeating claims made on a website without doing any due diligence is meaningless on your part.
lies again. I said that BTCBitcoin states. "States" means it their words, not mine. I quoted SBOBitcoin. I then went on to do a review. As I told you before, just stop already.

It went from 6000 to 4000 and then back up to 6000. Everyone that had played there prior to 3/7 would know this.

"Everyone that had played there prior to 3/7 would know this."

Except you.

Peeps Place - ""Here's the email that SBOBitcoin sent to me.

'...From now on we use the new rate is 4000 to all members. If you want to play, we can transfer your balance to the new account using 4000 rate.'  "


I realize that you've now checked with them since my post, realize you posted incorrect and out of date info, and are now covering up and pretending you realized this all along (I suppose that you felt it was helpful yesterday to post an out of date email with no longer current info).
Typical Raiders behavior. And why no one should take you seriously. (And why those familiar with you don't).

I was paid with seconds of making my request today FYI.

Good news.


Interesting that both you and I were changed from 4k HKD/btc to 6k HKD/btc (and I'm sure that is the case for all).


But Peeps Place claims the reverse - that he was just lowered from 6k HKD/btc to 4k HKD/btc.
How odd.

Right.


This is the last time that I reply to your lies. You know a guy that plays there. You called him an acquaintance. You never played there since you called the book a scam a while back. BTC prices are volatile. Here's the email that I was sent. As you can see it goes back some time. If you played at SBBitcoin you would know this. Look at the date of the change Match 9.

Quote
We would like to inform you on the update regarding the change of rate for all members.

With your existing account,if you will not play and you want to withdraw, you can do so anytime you want.  We will still use the 6000 rate as the rate for the first time you joined us. But your account now can only be used till Sunday, March 9, 2014. After that, we will suspend the ID but we guarantee you can still withdraw from that ID use 6000 rate. From now on we use the new rate is 4000 to all members. If you want to play, we can transfer your balance to the new account using 4000 rate.  

We highly appreciate a response from you as soon as possible regarding this matter.

Best regards,
SBO Bitcoin

Gogo- Being anonymous has nothing to do with a bitcoin book. The two oldest books in Anonibet and BTCSportmatch remain anonymous.

Talk about jumping the gun.  "appears to be closed"

What a fucking idiot.


Some agents who no one knows and who have been in business for 3 months.

Their website has always provided 24/7 chat.

Suddenly for a period of 5 hours during which time I tried to contact them, there is no chat.
The email "Notify us this way because our Live Chat is down" is also disabled.
But the website is up, so it's not a DDOS attack or server down or the other usual issues.
Another poster confirms that the chat is down for him as well.

Simultaneously the account they have provided at pinnaclesports.com is suspended.
Not only mine but Peeps also reports he can't get into his account as well, so it's not a singular issue solely related to my account.

Pinnaclesports will give no further info.

Somehow you find it ridiculous to conclude that it appears that they have closed shop, as numerous other shops have done.

I had nothing to personally gain if I was correct by putting out the "appears to be closed" warning.

But if correct, I could possibly have saved some people from sending reload money to SBO's wallet.
If not correct, I could withdraw the warning, as I did.

I would certainly do the same in a similar situation, as the only downside is getting stalked by an unhappy troll who is frequently ridiculed on these boards for his worthless posts.
E.g.:

"Quote from: waylon james on March 04, 2014, 02:37:31 PM - "Did you guys raise the juice on college basketball to -109?"


Quote from: jeremypwr on March 05, 2014, 08:14:19 PM - "Do you always post questions when the answer is 100% obvious? LOL jk"


Thus far in the 6 weeks you've been a member, you've made 24 posts, and more than 20% of those are stalking me and fellating Peeps Place.
Perhaps some day you will add something of value to the boards.
Although I'll bet on the "No".
