Play it safe this March Madness season when betting online

Let me explain something to those of you new to the Gambling911.com web site.  Gambling911.com is committed to excellence.  We are mentioned in this month's cover story of Forbes Special Billionaire's issue.  If that is not enough to instill confidence in our readers, I'm not quite sure what is.

And there is a reason why the mainstream media LOVES Gambling911.com.  They know we pride ourselves on ensuring online gamblers safety and we do this by taking on ONLY THE TOP ONLINE SPORTSBOOKS PERIOD.

In other words, we won't suggest a sportsbook to readers we wouldn't put our own fathers into.

The key:  Gambling911.com ONLY accepts advertising from those sportsbooks AS SEEN HERE that have been in business for three years or longer.  No exceptions!

Online poker sites have barely been around three years so the rule doesn't necessarily apply to these entities.  Unlike the sportsbook where poor management can lead to overnight disaster with the newer less solvent companies, online poker sites tend to have a very minute failure rate due to their business structure.

Recently, IgotPoker.com, requested they advertise their sportsbook in addition to the poker room.  We refused as a result of our VERY STRINGENT POLICY despite knowing the individuals behind this company for a number of years.  In fact, we are confident they are going to be a tremendous success story and will welcome their sportsbook in the year 2008.

Fact is, despite a nice sum of upfront money offered to us, Gambling911.com's philosophy is based on a long term "word of mouth" approach that has made us one of the most successful web site's of its kind.  We are not out for a fast buck.

Part of this philosophy comes from a "live and learn" approach.  When Gambling911.com moved it office down to beautiful Miami Beach a year and a half ago, we were stunned by the snakes and shysters that rule the Miami Beach contracting business.  It is absolutely vital in Miami to get referrals for work, otherwise 9 out of 10 times you will be screwed. 

We have been screwed as a result and consider it a learning curve whereby we can teach others how not to be screwed by society's scavengers.

There is so much work to be had in Miami it's not even funny, but the shysters are only after a quick buck and will do whatever it takes to screw people over utilizing a "short term" mindset.

Such individuals lack integrity and have a tough time finding jobs over the long haul.  The honest man and woman realizes their hard work will pay off over the long run as a result of an extensive referral system. 

Likewise, scammers reside in the underbelly of online gambling as well.  Companies like Gambling911.com and its many industry colleagues have done an admirable job of keeping these scam artists at bay.  But they are cockroaches.  You cannot crush them.  They keep coming back.  Cockroaches produce up to 1000 offspring per day.  Those are some mighty sexually charged critters!  One would be surprised how quickly the industry cockroaches close up shop and open a new one next day. 

These roaches often use email blasts that occasionally fool unsuspecting sports bettors.

NEVER go with an unproven online sportsbook.  Always check out Gambling911.com's endorsed list. 

We get paid upfront flat fees (not a percentage of player losses).  Gambling911.com thanks all our loyal readers for their support over the years. 

Please note: All of our online sportsbooks are either in business for at least 3 FULL FOOTBALL SEASONS or NEW BRANDING CONCEPTS THAT ARE PART OF A GAMING COMPANY THAT HAS EXISTED FOR THREE YEARS OR LONGER.
