![]() It’s hard enough to win gambling without your book refusing to pay you. The amount of customer horror stories from today is truly horrifying. MyBookie is probably on the phone right now with a public relations crisis firm, or if not, should be. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, and there are millions on both sides, Barstool has a huge presence, reach and influence over a cohort of mostly males right in the heart of MyBookie’s target demographic and potential clientele. Then on Tuesday for all to witness, there was a dueling symphony on Twitter: At the same time that Portnoy opened his offensive and began retweeting dozens of MyBookie complaints - largely about shady practices and alleged refusals to pay out winners - MyBookie’s social account went into full-blown damage control mode, responding to dozens of complaints and queries about their payouts, customer service, and the operation in general. So sorry I’m not gonna trust a quarter of a billion with a company with one of the worst reputations on the internet. So any deposit even if they weren’t scumbags would be at risk of seizure.

We used to work with these guys and we got tons of complaints that they made it impossible to cash out. Well I went back and apparently at 7pm they tweeted me that if I bought 250K in Bitcoin and transferred it they would take the bet? Yeah that seems possible to do in an hour.īut even if I could have gotten that done I wouldn’t trust these frauds to pay me in a million years. I didn’t see any of these tweets until today. Claiming that they would have taken my 250K bet on Texas Tech last night. I got to be honest I thought I was seeing things when I noticed today that Mybookie was chirping me about being a fake gambler. Is MyBookie (AKA the least reputable illegal sportsbook on the planet) picking a fight with out of the clouds at his lowest point the dumbest move in the history of the internet? /Vdy7KLgzFg Portnoy has explained he wasn’t aware of John’s suggestion, and it’s gotten real grim online for MyBookie as he also took the opportunity to enumerate reasons why he would never bet with them. ![]() As you know the Texas Tech Red Raiders lost to Virginia in overtime, after which John continued to pepper and taunt Portnoy for not shoving his chips at the offshore sportsbook. Portnoy said he wanted to get the quarter million down at FanDuel Sportsbook - a new Barstool sponsor - in New Jersey, but couldn’t because he was in Minnesota for the championship game. I have been actively trying to place a $250k bet on Texas Tech tonight." – /Au09H6aRe0Įmpty your bank accounts, liquidate all your assets and bet it on Texas Tech, this is a no brainer #BeAdvised /4v7udhnaOU "I think Texas Tech is the easiest bet in the history of sports. El Presidente had remarked on Barstool Radio and on Barstool Sports Advisors that “ is the easiest bet in the history of sports,” that he was pretty jacked up to push hard on the Red Raiders, and said he’d been actively trying to get down $250,000 on Texas Tech. On Monday the oddsmaker (hereafter “John”) tried to get Portnoy’s attention on Twitter, claiming his book would take a $250,000 wager from Portnoy (in Bitcoin) on Texas Tech +1.5 to win the National Championship. ![]() That bear is Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, aka “El Presidente”. On Tuesday, the head oddsmaker for the Costa Rica-based sportsbook MyBookie.ag poked a bear - and then he and MyBookie got mauled.
