Reagan is in control of the finances at Peepsplace. I post the ratings here and at Peepsplace. Then I submit it to Reagan. He does his own research and makes the final decision on the books that go up. If a book has problems, I immediately tell Reagan and he pulls the banner 100% of the time. That is the only time, my opinion makes a decision. I don't determine if a book goes up, but if I recommend it to come down, then it goes down.
Not that this is of importance but Reagan has a baseball handicapping book published. He is a long time gambler. He has experience in dealing with books as well as being a player himself. It's my reputation as well as Reagan's that's on the line. Since Reagan is top dog, you should be asking him questions.
Thanks for the info, I was not aware that you do not make the decisions on rating upgrades.
But that was not my question. My question is :
Would you please disclose which Bitcoin sportbooks are paying you to promote them in forums ?
Just like you expect us books to be honest and fair, we too expect that you will be honest to the users reading this ratings guide and disclose which of the books are paying you to promote them in forums, to alert users of a possible conflict of interest.
The ratings were up BEFORE anyone talked with Anoninbet and Nitrogen. Again, I do the ratings then talk with Reagan. After that Reagan puts up banners. Of course he only wants strong books up. When there is a problem, the banner comes down. If a book stiffs someone or has a problem, the banner comes down immediately.
This is what happened with BitBook and Betcoin. I feel the same about your book. It has gone down hill and if a banner were up now, I'd recommend it to come down. It's useless to pull out the "you've been paid" card. I don't remember anyone in this thread stating that DirectBet is an "A" rated book.
The goal in this thread, as well as Peepsplace, is to warn players of books that are in trouble. It's also a guide for those that want to check in when deciding to play at a new book. It's not just the ratings, it's what is being posted by players. Look what they are writing. You can gain more detailed information from what they are posting.
