Sport is made for betting

We've heard about poker sites being targetted by the US Dept of Justice - sportsbooks are fearing the same attention. One of the biggest, The Greek (formerly called Olympic), has decided to stop taking bets from US residents effective immediately. They avoided the attention when Pinnacle stopped taking US bets several years ago, now they feel time is right to distance themselves from the US totally. US players are being transferred over to Heritage Sports. Another book under the same ownership, BetJamaica, has closed its door entirely. All accounts transferred to The Greek, with the US accts then transferred to Heritage. See this thread on Covers.com for details. They won't be the last sportsbook to make/be forced into this decision.

Anyone else get this email this morning? What a shocker! Nadal at 2.75 to win the French Open? Pig's arse! If they were in the UK they'd cop a severe blast for false advetising and deservedly so. Someone should be sacked for a massive balls-up like that. The men's prices are obviously for Wimbledon. Have been hearing weird things about behind-the-scenes issues at Pinnacle of late. Not the sort of things you want to hear about a book which has had a very high reputation for several years.
