Guest boatboatboat Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 bet islands in Joes case I would argue wasn't bailed out . They got nothing. They still OWE the debt. The player has been bailed out in that they are returned to being whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boatboatboat Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Now if Joe contacted Bet Islands and said "hey I heard you cant pay your players here is XXX. Its yours to keep" Than it would be a BET ISLANDS BAILOUT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 why isn't landers allowed on any forums? places are kind of dead without his antics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Odom Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Boat I don't normally agree with conspiracy theorist or pile on, but even I thought it was suspicious. I'm not going to go dig the thread back up but I'm pretty sure you were egging on the bets and GUARANTEEING people would get paid if Brock lost the bet. You were on a big PR kick at that time promoting your payment to Cory and the famous Big Daddy thread, and here you are publicly backing Brocks bets. Then when he gets crushed here comes Boat to rescue again with a big pay out from your best buddy George. There is no way you can look at it that way and not suspect it was a set up from the beginning. If you weren't in on it from the beginning why were you guaranteeing the people betting with Brock will get paid? I'm not hating on you for it. In today's world you have to do something to stand out if your a book not named 5Dimes\Bookmaker, and you have a knack for out of the box thinking. Forum guys will hate on you no matter what you do. Same guys that bash you were the first to stand up and tell everyone how great Tuckman was. Your never going to win the PR battle with the forum so you might as well be upfront and disliked for who you are. It is very strange why BBB felt the need to reopen this can or worms - No win situation for him or the owners of TGF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boatboatboat Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have no clue why he isn't allowed at sites other than TGF. He isn't wanted here because while he brings massive numbers of page views, the over all affect he has on the site long term is perceived as a negative. From a short term business stand point allowing him to post here may have been a wise one, but we are not looking short term. It's amazing what can happen when hands are not tied or mods are not required to look the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 i think in a perfect world we would get landers' picks (they are consistently horrible) without the other nonsense. i think fading landers when he goes against illinois has been my only profitable strategy the last 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 why not have brock and confine him to a picks only thread? if that is even possible to do. not sure how that would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbraker Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Just my opinion, but the appearance was your were teaming up with and saving that scumbag. Also, to me, the posters that bet with him would have gotten EXACTLY what they deserved if they had been stiffed. These guys were betting with Brock fucking Landers, and with all due respect, it came off as a publicity stunt for HR and you being the ring leader of the fuster cluck. You should have let the chips fall where they may. You were enabling a punk and degenerate. Again, just my opinion from the outside looking in. Peace, taxmansharp post.

Hedge Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I am sad that Brock landers is tgf most popular thread at least that I can see ... You Non heterosexual humans really love this guy Quite the contrary. This thread is popular mainly because BL got banned right out of the gate. Most posters, myself included, are relieved that the likes of him aren't welcome here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you want a bailout on a bad mortgage or a student loan too? bingo they weren't going to get stiffed, they were going to get slow paid, which is what they had to expect when they took a bad line from brock landers. when my neighbor buys stolen shrimp from a shady guy's truck, he doesn't "deserve" to get sick but it's a risk of buying shrimp in that manner. if he does get sick and a legitimate grocery store randomly gives him his money back i would say wtf?
