VERY IMPORTANT

changeabet.com advisory

Recently a new sports book popped up that is offering customers the ability to change their bet before the end of the 3rd quarter of games to the opposite bet if they don't like the score at that point. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

There are some very specific things that make sports books solvent and profitable. I can tell you that this book meets none of those criteria. If this is a legit business model and this book is open for business I can tell you at best this place will lose more then 50% of all the bets they take every single day. What that means for you is that if you deposit there, you will never be able to make a single withdrawl there.

This is the best case of if it's too good to be true it probably is I have ever came across.

If you know others who also bet online but may not visit BettorsNetwork.com make sure you share this info with them.

Who would actually play at a book were you could change you bet at the end of the 3rd, I would think thats a big red flag right there.

A lot of people don't really know what it takes to run a sports book Stocks. Bettors and business-people are two totally seperate animals.

If I was just joe bettor I probably wouldn't know this wouldn't work. Especially if I was down on my luck. People always think the sports books win more then they lose anyway so maybe they figure this is a way to give a little back without really hurting anything. Definitely not the case here though.

No prob FB, u know I will take care of you guys

True plus a lot of people that are new to online betting and betting in general if they happened to come across a book like this will probaly think this is half normal or just a great deal. I dont know about the legal part on stuff like this these scam jobs for books get shut down before they can take anyone money

The forums that promote this place are just as bad as the book. People should remember what sites put the quick advertising buck ahead of the interests of the player.

Hey Guys,

Internet betting is a wonderful thing, but you can't go into it blind. There are tons of sites out there with tons of offers, etc., etc. In reality though only a handful of these properties are reputable and to be trusted.

Some are outright scams like this one, some are in trouble financially and never tell their users and some are even operating out of the US which is a total no-no.

I try to do all the leg work for you guys and only bring people in here that can meet some very stringent requirements on my end. Some site owners want/need money for whatever reason and think that when someone sends them an email wanting to advertise they must be on the up and up. That isn't always the case. I have mentioned several times that I turn down more advertisers then you will ever see at BettorsNetwork.com.

In a perfect world I would like all of you to use the advertisers we have here. They pay for all the great stuff we have and that we will be having, but in reality I know that every book here isn't for everyone and you are going to play other places. Don't be shy though to ask me before you do that. I'll never lead you away from someone unless I really believe they aren't safe.

As anyone here will tell you I am totally honest with my evaluations of other books. There are some we don't have here that I play at and would recommend play at even though they aren't advertisers. At the same time there are books out there other people are pushing to death (like Royal) that I wouldn't send $.01 to.

Whenever in doubt just ask me, I am happy to help anyone that takes the time to ask.

I like Sirbet. Corby over there runs a nice shop. I have tried to get them to advertise here over the past few years to no avail.

I hear they will be moving from post-up to straight credit though. Too many hassles from the post-up end from what I gather. I wish them the best.

Currently there is a player awaiting payment to the tune of $65k from Changeabet.com. The owners appear to be leaving or have left Costa Rica.

Please stick with sponsors endorsed here. If you have a question about a book that may not appear as an advertiser here at least send me an email before posting up.

Seem to recall you being wary when they first turned up this year. Thanks for keeping us ahead of the curve.
