I'm starting to wonder what is going on with no word from Jack at all on this subject.

Trying to remain calm, but would like to hear what he knows about the situation.

Afterall, even though he does not have control over the situation, this book was promoted heavily here and the only reason I signed up was because of his endorsement. So I would at least like to hear SOMETHING about what is going on.:shrug:

sorry man. i just want as much info as possible before i jumped in, that's all.

to be honest, things do not look good, but there's always the possibility of another book stepping in and taking over.

the LAST thing i want to see is one of my sponsors going belly up. not only does it make me feel sincerely bad for our members but i, myself, could lose post up money (not in this case, to be honest) and advertising revenue.

when i bring a book aboard, i check them out the best i can. i turn books down all the time because i don't want to recommend a shaky business. i talk with the owner and ask questions. i ask the owners of other books, i ask players that play with the book and i thouroughly check the internet and other forums.

blue marlin came HIGHLY recommended by all sources and i mean highly recommended. they were kinda new to the post up and internet business but had been in the credit and phone business for many years without any reposrts of even a slow pay. NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER.

i don't consider madjacks a "watchdog" but i do my homework each and every time. this book was A+ with everybody i talked to including our own members.

unfortunately, in this case, something went wrong and i do not have the answers at this time. as soon as i find something out, i'll let everybody know.

i am so sorry we have these problems sometimes.

even if there isn't a bailout from another book, don't give up as i have some really good connections offshore. maybe i can get something worked out, even if it's only for my members.

anybody that has an acct with BM, please send me your acct ID and amount of money you have deposited with them. must be a madjack member and no bullshitters, please.

also, this might take some time so please don't expect something overnight.

Jack, will send the info when I get home. AND BY NO MEANS DO I HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE, JUST WANTED ANY INFO YOU HAD.

No problem with you or your site, just appreciate all you could do to try and salvage anything.

Thanks

I know you don't give much credence to sbr, but blue marlin was rated a D there. When I was looking for a book a few months ago, I looked at them and went elsewhere because of that. Sorry to you guys that have them, must feel like getting kicked in the 'nads.

Thanks for the reply Jack. Your honesty is much appreciated. As I said in another thread in this forum, there is so much that is unknown, it is hard to be completely sure of anything.

the 'reason' i don't give SBR any credence is because; had BM paid for a better listing, they wouldn't have been rated a D there.

They 'say' they don't accept advertising monies on the site, yet the owner has admitted to accepting advertising fees.

they are misleading the public.

lakerfan, then why post it? :shrug:

Thanks for leaving at least the name Jack.

I know you like to keep the forum closed (kind of like a cult ;) ), but sometimes players are served by getting information from as many sources as possible.

In the case of Blue Marlin they did have an ad/affiliate relationship with SBR, but that didn't stop SBR from downgrading them.

SBR does have issues (like saying a sheet or affiliate links isn't advertising), but they offer some good info.
