World Sports Exchange, Jay Cohen Image Tarnished




The once proud World Sports Exchange (WSEX.com), founded in 1996, has fallen on bad times and co-founder Jay Cohen hasn't said much about the matter.
Gambling911.com has reportedly on the situation, which doesn't seem to be getting much better.
A look at Google search reveals that the problem is more extensive than originally believed. Several searches have been coming into the Gambling911.com website.
WSEX.com mostly dabbles in online sports betting but also offers an Internet poker room. Cohen can often be found in various posting forums bashing his competitors without disclosing his current interest in World Sports Exchange. Over the past year and a half, many insiders knew of Cohen's involvement with the company following a two-year stint in jail. He confirmed reports late last year as part of a CNBC special.
World Sports Exchange attributes the 2 to 3 month payment delays to "processing issues", according to customers, however, the main concern has been a downward spiral in WSEX's once stellar customer service.
Some players have reported getting payouts through transfers to other online sportsbooks, presumably those Jay Cohen hasn't bashed.
"The main consistency besides book transfer is everyone does get paid, so this is ultimately the most important, as this is not a stiff book," one poster stated on the SBR Forum.
Cohen in the past has blasted some competitors for making it simple to deposit funds while requiring all types of paperwork (for security reasons) to withdraw funds.
Ironic since one poster at SBR had this to say about the WSEX website:
"(The) deposit page is never down but withdrawal/payout page often is..."
And the problems persist.
"I can't believe nothing has changed at WSEX after all this time. They're either paying withdrawals through deposits, or have made a business decision that they can take as long as they feel like to pay out, and don't need to improve. Neither is a particularly positive scenario for its players."

I played with them for years. I loved there in-betting for baseball. One bet I remember in particular was Yankees losing 2-0 after the 3nd inning and they were -180 to start the game and after the 3rd they were something like +280 they won the game 6-2 I think I only bought a couple of contacts. I also liked the NBA in - betting also because unlike most places that have in-betting the number didn't change just the odds.

I would like watching a game with the home team favored and losing say mid-way through the 3rd period the number would be the same but the odds would really be nice.

EX: Knicks -6 then after being down say by 10 in the 3rd they would be -6 +220 or something. I would buy a few contracts and just wait for the knicks like most home NBA teams that are losing in the 2nd half to make some kind of run. Say they got within 1 point or tie the game

I would then sell the contacts for a small profit. Now don't get me wrong it didn't always work like the above examples but it was fun and I haven't seen a book use that same type of in-betting. Yes I miss them. hopefully one day they will fix there problems an be an A rated book again. They were one of the first.

Thanks for reading just killing time before work. Good luck to everyone today and moving forward this weekend.

I actually did like their poker rooms and live lines like OT said, i definitely had some winners there. The one thing i always hated was the fact that they force you to bet even amounts with no cents. like say you had $52.25 available, they would only let you risk the $50.not that big of a deal, but even now if i log in a year later i think i still have like $4.00 in my account. its stupid

Funny you say that I think I have like $2 or something there also. I do miss them and really don't know what happened.
