Durito - the difference between A-rated books and D-rated books is you WILL get paid vs you MAY. What good is betting into slow-moving lines otherwise? Which A-rated books slow pay?
I actually remember getting paid by Apex and Bring Me Luck. (small amounts). He called me one day and said he's splitting from dsi and offered me some bonus (no deposit). Big Al stiffed me however.
When I first discovered Sportsbookreview I was amazed to find how many places I played were rated F. I held sbr in high regard. Remember reading about "sbr's Bill Dozer visits so and so book". Dozer was like some kind of man of mystery. Must of been very young too.
For the longest time nobody knew how sbr made any money. There was no ads. Yeah, you got to give John and whoever was involved credit for what they were doing back then. This was way before the forum.
