Does anyone hate Gibraltar as much as me?

Just trying them out for the first time........They have to have a 20 minute board meeting every time I put in a play........I'm put on hold forever,and clerks are clueless IMO........obviously a square shop,but does anyone else feel this way,or am I just crazy.....

black lab,
Not to detract from your beef, but you obviously have internet so why would you call in plays and bring the stall, etc. on yourself instead of playing online? Is it because their online limits are too low for you? Online is so much faster I just don't understand why so many still call all their plays in ( unless it is a limit issue ).

Just curious!

BL, disconcerting info. All I'd heard in the forums was good stuff about Gibraltar. Fishhead was also high on them. They were on my list of books to post-up with in the near future--and then I read this unflattering report from you.

I have no problems to speak of. I play on average, on nickel a game there and maybe youR plays are larger than mine. Best of luck.

Reno.....check this out.........I can't play on internet anymore........my max bet on internet is 1$......lol.....so for fun I played the board for a dollar and a joke.....the screen then tells me max 2$......lol........they don't want me there,that's obvious......so only way they say I can play is on phone......

Question......last night I played Toronto on the runline....there was a pitching change,and my account was empty with pendings.....so I asked if they could just refund the bet since it was void,and then put the money on toronto rl again......20 mins later they say I have to wait for the game to be graded....lol.....a mickeymouse joint........

You're right, they think YOU ARE A SHAKER AND A MOVER and would rather have someone like me who bets lower, much lower, online, and takes his money out once a year if there is any left.

PS...I've worked in many books, in Vegas, and if someone was a shaker and a mover, management did NOT give them any slack..........

what's funny is......I asked for the line in the West Virginia game......the clerk puts me on hold and 5 minutes comes back and says,O.K,I have authorisation to take your bet....which game do you want....I've never seen such a place......RENO,I think they would give you a 50 cent max on the internet,and dollar minnimum......And when you'd call,you'd get the clerk the couldn't speak a word of english helping you...

It was a much better book when it was in St Kitts, especially when it was
Island Superbook

i was given a "vip" number to call when i won from them. they were always pretty cool. have not played with them since hoops and i am willing to bet they are run more like infinity now. if you win they dont want your action.

Every office under the Nasa umbrella is a total joke. they should not even call themselves bookmakers. All they do is look at the bottom line every week, and whoever wins they consider cutting that account off. If you win a couple of weeks you are out. Bottom line is that these guys only want it one way. If you have a chance to win, you are cut off. Those are not bookmakers, period!
