Royal Sports confiscates winnings from a group of players accused of being part of a betting ring. The players acquired their picks from a paid service, which had been referring customers to Royal Sports for years. “SBG Global is a real company that studies betting patterns,” said a manager for the Costa Rica-based bookmaker which acquired Royal Sports in July 2007.
Apparently the only betting pattern they are good to recognize is winners, otherwise they would have known about a group of players, apparently all coming from the same area and all betting the same picks, long before the handicapper providing the picks went on a hot streak.

UPDATE: BigJuicyOdds (NR) offered the players who had their balances stolen a no deposit bailout with a 20x roll-over.
