SAN JOSE, COSTA, RICA, September 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) With the start of the NFL season comes a bevy of sportsbook promotions and seductive offers created to lure bettors into winning some serious cash. Within the sea of sportsbook offerings, you'll also find that not all offers are created equal and some are just complete scams. It's up to you to use the Sportbookreview.com rating guide to help you do your research and find the soundest offers on the net.
Below we have compiled a list of sportsbooks that bettors should stay clear from due to their faulty offerings. This is also an opportunity for players to buzz in and alert SBR in case you have been previously scammed by a sportsbook. They want you to share your story and who knows, they might just be able to help you recover your funds.
Topping the list of sportsbook scams includes:
1) Oddsmaker Sportsbook (SBR Rating F)
This sportsbook tops the SBR list and claims that while having outstanding customer service and a successful website, it has been reported by Sportsbook Review that Oddsmaker has had over $250,000 in confiscations. With their in-house rule of forbidding "non-recreational players", they are able to forfeit player balances while returning only deposits. They've also become notorious for closing player accounts who successfully won a promo.
2)WSEX (SBR Rating F)
Once a powerhouse, WSEX Sportsbook's debt has gone upward with a total of $845,316 overall, meaning that player balances are at stake here. According to SBR, WSEX player debts have been owed since 2009 with many "unsuspecting players realizing each day that the sportsbook is unable to pay.
3) Global Wagering (SBR Rating D-)
Global Wagering is fairly new on the scene and surfaced back in July of 2012. Just about one month into business SBR put them on their Scam Alert list. Sportsbook Review claims this may be one of the many operations that rise just before the NFL season to make a quick buck. Based in Nicaragua, their management is comprised of a "low-level" sales agent who recently set up shop along with five other employees.
SBR urges players to stay away from sketchy, unheard of bookmakers whose fly-by night scam operations have come and went, leaving players without funds.
4) Bet Royal (SBR Rating D-)
Bet Royal Sportsbook is a repeat offender and is on Sportsbook Review's blacklist. With claims of having confiscated $500K from a group of professionals, the sportsbook was surely under investigation. From SBR's findings, Bet Royal claimed to have operated in this instance with the sole agreement that said player was not to withdraw winnings only deposits. Bet Royal was not able to justify their actions, while the player claimed to never having made such an agreement. SBR claims, that it was believed that Bet Royal erased the balance in order to remove $500,000 in liabilities, actions that you would never hear from top sportsbooks such as 5Dimes or Pinnacle Sports.
5) ABC Islands Sportsbook (SBR Rating D)
ABC Islands Sportsbook is the #5 pick on scam list with over $200,000 in cash owed to players. As SBR reported, the sportsbook openly claimed that no payouts would be made until football season. Apparently, players are on payment plans in order to receive winnings but unfortunately some players end up losing their balances while waiting for processing times. SBR warns players to stay away from sportsbooks who have a history of bad payments.
In case you're not feeling so confident about the sportsbook you're dealing with, the Sportsbook Review Betting Guide can quickly help you sort through the sea of A+ books all the way to the ones with an F rating. With forums, sportsbook industry message boards and a free sportsbook dispute service, players should feel more secure as they navigate through hundreds of sportsbooks without becoming the next online sportsbook victim.

That giant tarantula is terrifying, but I'll touch it
2012-09-05
"Give sorrow words." —Malcolm in Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
Can simply describing your feelings at stressful times make you less afraid and less anxious?
A new UCLA psychology study suggests that labeling your emotions at the precise moment you are confronting what you fear can indeed have that effect.
The psychologists asked 88 people with a fear of spiders to approach a large, live tarantula in an open container outdoors. The participants were told to walk closer and closer to the spider and eventually touch it if they could.
The subjects were then divided ...
Global health requires new dynamics, suggests science panel
2012-09-05
Basic science plays a critical role in the quest to improve global health, but it's only one part of a multi-pronged effort that includes changing the dynamics of global health so that developing nations have a more leading role in fulfilling their health care needs.
That was among the conclusions of the 2012 Kavli Prize Science Forum in Oslo, Norway, held this week. The Forum featured four leading international science experts on global health: Rita Colwell, former director of the National Science Foundation, US; Alice Dautry, president of the Institut Pasteur, France; ...
Explosion of galaxy formation lit up early universe
2012-09-05
New data from the South Pole Telescope indicates that the birth of the first massive galaxies that lit up the early universe was an explosive event, happening faster and ending sooner than suspected.
Extremely bright, active galaxies formed and fully illuminated the universe by the time it was 750 million years old, or about 13 billion years ago, according to Oliver Zahn, a postdoctoral fellow at the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics (BCCP) at the University of California, Berkeley, who led the data analysis.
The data provide new constraints on the universe's ...
A cluster with a secret
2012-09-05
A new image from ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile shows the spectacular globular star cluster Messier 4. This ball of tens of thousands of ancient stars is one of the closest and most studied of the globular clusters and recent work has revealed that one of its stars has strange and unexpected properties, apparently possessing the secret of eternal youth.
The Milky Way galaxy is orbited by more than 150 globular star clusters that date back to the distant past of the Universe (eso1141). One of the closest to the Earth is the cluster Messier 4 (also known as NGC 6121) ...
Are restrictions to scientific research costing lives?
2012-09-05
London, UK (05 September 2012) – In 'Censors on Campus', Index on Censorship asks whether lives might be saved by making vital research freely available. As malaria expert Bart Knols argues, in some parts of Asia and Africa the fight against malaria is severely hampered because doctors and researchers are denied full access to the 3,000 articles published on the disease each year. At the same time, scientists living and working in developing countries are prevented from becoming global players in the public health arena.
In this special issue looking at academic freedom ...
Scientists dramatically reduce plaque-forming substances in mice with Alzheimer's disease
2012-09-05
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have found that eliminating an enzyme from mice with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease leads to a 90 percent reduction in the compounds responsible for formation of the plaques linked to Alzheimer's disease.
That is the most dramatic reduction in this compound reported to date in published research.
The compounds are amyloid beta, or A-beta peptides; peptides are proteins, but are shorter in length. When A-beta peptides accumulate in excessive amounts in the brain, they can form plaques, which are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
"These ...
London Olympics anti-doping labs set for first-of-a-kind repurposing
2012-09-05
The United Kingdom is preparing to convert the London 2012 Olympics anti-doping center, which conducted more than 6,000 drug tests on athletes during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, into a facility that could help revolutionize 21st century health care. That new facility — the world's first national "phenome center" — is the topic of a story in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN). C&EN is the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.
Alex Scott, C&EN senior editor in London, explains that a phenome ...
Concern about plans to close unique Canadian environmental project
2012-09-05
The Canadian government's plans to discontinue in 2013 a unique environmental research project that has yielded insights into water pollution, climate change and other topics for almost 40 years would be a "huge loss not only to science but to the scientific heritage of humanity." That's the focus of a viewpoint article in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology.
J. G. Hering, D. L. Swackhamer and W. H. Schlesinger explain that the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) comprises 58 freshwater lakes and their watersheds in remote areas of the province of Ontario, where ...
Galileo didn't invent thermometer that bears his name
2012-09-05
The great Italian scientist Galileo may have been the first person to use a telescope to observe the heavens, helping spark the scientific revolution of the 16th century, but Galileo definitely did not invent the famous thermometer and captivating curiosity that bears his name. That's the message of an article in ACS' Journal of Chemical Education.
Peter Loyson explains that a number of companies sell so-called "Galilean thermometers," sealed tubes of liquid in which glass spheres float and sink with changes in ambient temperature. Modern versions have morphed into elegant ...
