Hello, I just searched through the directory of 4 Recreational sub-categories, I have found:

Just an FYI: We don't worry about redirects within the same site like that; we're just concerned about redirects to completely different sites (e.g. if deathbymurder.com redirected to death-by-murder.com). So the 7 "redirects to a URL within the website" aren't issues.

Mosta I was wondering should have I report those 7. Since I was not for sure, I went ahead with the reporting. Thank You.

Top: Games: Gambling: Sports: Tipping and Handicapping: Soccer

http://www.beto.com/ - Under construction for almost a year

http://www.english-football-betting.com/ - I could not find anything usefull. All pages of this site are not working or have some php problems for some time...but anchor at DMOZ is really great for Google :)

http://www.footballbrain.net/ - not working for some time

http://globetting.com/ - this site is now redirected to bettingexperts.com. It was great site once

http://www.kuntzean.com/ - now porno site

http://www.soccer-cafe.com/ - I would also like to know what this site is now, but definetely is not what it is written here.

SoccerClue - moved to new link (without comment about quality)

http://www.ken-higham.supanet.com/ - also out of action for some time

http://www.bahisklavuz.com/ - not english anymore...just turkish I think

So 9 of 29 are bad links, which is around 30%

Also, you should check some of other links as quality is really doubtfull. I am trying to list my site for some time, and since I am in this business, I can tell you for sure that there is at least 20 sites 10 class better then half of your listed once.
