I like on one hand, he was asking questions about scraping, which means he's clearly a sophisticated web programmer intending to create a CAPCHA-defeating bot, and on the other hand, oh he's not banned, he is just too ******ed to log into SBR forums and navigate to his thread.

Optional comes off as a craven liar in that thread, that's for sure. What a horrid little worm.

if the guy got 77k stolen, why is Postoak going on about it

if I had 77k stolen, my friend wouldn't be posting about it because id find any place I could say it and copy/paste it





I heard they reached a settlement?

Yes, a satisfactory resolution has been reached.

I'll paste here what creditcardclown posted in the SBR thread:

I'm glad he got some/most of his money. It's still bull**** if they penalized him 20% or whatever the penalty they assessed for robot/steam play/whatever. If they did a substantial penalty for this, I' hope SBR will reduce its A+ rating.

I'm guessing it cannot be disclosed?

SBR reports a 2500 no-pay on their front-page news. No mention of any of these Youwager issues, which are now over 100k in claims. If they were an ethical news source, they would report these, even when they were resolved.

They call themselves an industry watchdog, but they don't behave that way.

Glad it worked out. Youwager sounds like garbage and this optional guy sounds like a real POS. I like how it went from the OP's friend "definitely used a robot to cheat and deserves to get almost 6 figures stolen from him" to "I think I saw him posting questions somewhere about how to make a bot". That was probbaly the highlight for me.

Though, to be fair, I will say that some of you guys seem super SUPER niave. I mean honestly, if you were TRYING to give an offshore book a reason to steal your money, you would run up a huge balance, get limited to a dollar, and then keep betting the one dollar on steam plays. Im not saying you deserve what happened at all, but you gotta be a little smarter than that.

which lets you know books were in the wrong and are happy to pay a small amount of hush money
