Default Whats up with the Odds maker bannner?

Perhaps I’m way out of place here but I’ve been thinking about making this post for a while and am finally pulling the trigger here.

I think 2+2 made a very poor decision in taking on sponsorship or adds from oddsmaker.com. It’s mostly likely that they are not aware of the history of that company and how poor their reputation is in the industry. I know there have been threads before where people have said to avoid BetUSA.com and now here is another book started by BetUSA which even worst now operates on the Future Bet system (Future Bet handles the oddsmaker.com cashier).

The reason this bothers me so much is that every time we participate in a thread here we are helping aid Oddsmaker.com marketing efforts. If it was a mediocre or even low quality sportsbook then not a huge deal. It becomes a bigger deal though when their host (Future Bet) has countless complaints which have accumulated against them over the years of slow pays, no pays, unfair rule changes, grading errors, canceling bets after games are started etc etc. The list of problems with this operation goes miles long.

This post will probably be pointless but if others have thoughts on this then please post them here.

Personally I think if 2+2 wants this section of their forum to improve they can start by changing sponsors. I think there will be plenty who are turned off by this forum when they see the oddsmaker.com ads, and even worst there will be people here who will see that banner as a form of an endorsement and will end up joining and then being scammed by Oddmaker.com
