Blue Marlin Owner Continues Deceptive Ways?   It’s been well over 72 hours at this point, perhaps enough time for Reggie, Blue Marlin Sports owner, to flee the country with all post up funds.  This past Sunday he shocked many by posting on the Blue Marlin site that a prospective buyer had been found and would be announced by Wednesday night.  This of course never happened.  For anyone who has followed this industry over a long period of time, it is not unusual for a down and out sports book operator to buy more time (and even pay a few more customers in the process to take off some heat).  Read More

Something Fishy Going On: Blue Marlin Recovery Plans Underway
Reggie, owner of Blue Marlin, really had me fooled.  I'm not easy to fool but I am hearing from more and more people that this guy and his partner had preconceived a plan to screw over players long before the start of this football season.  Maybe he will miraculously come up with a buyer or decide to turn over the post up monies that were not yet frozen by NETeller.  The chances of this happening are slim considering Reggie really has done little to keep websites such as this one abreast of what is transpiring.  Right now, we are in full swing trying to get affected players taken care of.  Read More Here  Blue Marlin Website Claiming Sale to be Announced
