This thread just looks like it's full of sour ex brs players, sour ex brs academy players and begrudgers who are making false accusations without proof, only hearsay.
If anyone is willing to forward me some 'legit' proof please contact me.
Please don't waste my time and repeat any of the nonsense in this thread.
Sorry Dave, could you forward us all your "legit" credentials as based on your statement I wouldn't want to waste my time providing proof to someone who approaches a story with the mindset that the commenters are sour toward BRS.
Fwiw I have no ill feeling toward BRS (and would talk quite openly about how suspect the practices were even before I parted company with them) as they presented me with opportunities that I could never have achieved playing on my own roll.
There are definitely things going on that even if not illegal, are ethically questionable at best - for example, for the general public PPL$ are non transferable however for BRS they are centrally banked and distributed to others in order to put players into live events: If BRS are able to decide to buy 3 people into a tournament using 1 person's PPL$ then the public should also be given the same options surely?!
Furthermore, IF the allegations, that DTD/PartyPoker receive a % of the money earned by the players that are staked, are even plausible then any credible "Journalist" would be eager to investigate this.
