They have stopped allowing Neteller transfers, and have cut their sports betting limits substanially.

Nobody out and out not getting paid yet, but the above two points are "warning signs". They took a strong position on the Rams plus 14.5, most of it no juice yet. This, as it turns out, was not a good thing.

So, if you do not presently have money in an account there, I would think twice about so doing at this time. E-horse a much stronger offshore alternative I think.

Good advice Carl. An eagle eye you have on predicting the future.

Big "Ouch" for many of the sports bettors for sure.

One guy I post with had $450,000 in there after he won his bet on the Super Bowl.

Hope nobody here got hurt, that's why I posted the warning. Always better "safe that sorry".....

They have filed for bankruptcy, rumour is over $10,000,000 owed.

If I hear of a "bailout" offered by other books, I'll post to it. Some books are dancing around it, but $10,000,000 is a chunk of change for sure.

Sometimes in the past other books have stepped in and offered account holders of books that went under deals. If I hear of anything I'll post it.

I am out $20 bucks at Aces myself, I have a futures on Raptors there, but don't think it matters, the way they're going the money is already done.

Guess I'll stick with the co-migled mutual pools at the track....don't have to worry about bad sports bookmaking wiping out my account.

Someone from ehorse told me that Ace's lost two million on the Superbowl. I had an account with them, but it only had twenty cents in it. Since I'm living and w**king in New Jersey, I have no choice but to bet offshore. The information from Carl and others is much appreciated.

They have a plan for old Aces customers on site.

They take horses, and have a bailout plan that is certainly "better than nothing".

As I understand it, it involves you matching the amount you lost at Aces, and you need a 6X rollover, but all in all not a bad deal for a horse player. Certainly "Better than nothing".
