Big Juicy Odds Reports SBG Global/Royal Guys Nearing Payouts
Following a much publicized dispute between the SBG Global/Royal Group of online sports betting operations and approximately 15 players, Gambling911.com sponsor, Big Juicy Odds stepped in to assist.
SBG Global refused to pay the players, accusing the bettors of being part of a Connecticut syndicate organization. The players insisted they were simply following winning plays of a local radio personality/sports handicapper.
"The guys are all set with their BJO accounts, have their money and one guy already has around $30,000 in his account," a Big Juicy Odds representative tells Gambling911.com Friday. "They are already wagering and happy."
Gambling911 traditionally frowns on the so-called "bailout programs" where another online sports betting site assumes players owed money from another book, typically a "fly by night" operation. Unlike past "bailout programs", however, BJO did not require an initial deposit. The company is requiring that players wager several times the amount of what they claimed to have been owed. Sportsbook Review assisted in arranging these accounts and has been working closely with the affected players.
"We have nothing to lose," said one jilted player. "We're already getting stiffed by SBG Global. It'll probably take me around two months to wager through the rollover requirement, but this is the best offer out there and I'm thankful to Big Juicy Odds."
This individual promised to keep both Gambling911.com and Sportsbook Review aware of any progress and potential payouts from BJO.
While Big Juicy Odds is a sponsor at Gambling911.com, this website does not allow sports betting operations less than three years in existence to promote their betting business on G911. Big Juicy Odds was brought on as an online poker sponsor.
