Not in the index

ZARbet

ZARbet is not measured yet, our side. Nothing here is refused; we simply have not built it yet.

Stated plainly

Where this stands

Their public site publishes no sport routes we can discover from outside, and no prices render. Nothing here is refused; we simply have nothing to read.

Straight answers

ZARbet questions

Why is ZARbet not in the Edges index?
Their public site publishes no sport routes we can discover from outside, and no prices render. Nothing here is refused; we simply have nothing to read.
Does that mean ZARbet is expensive?
No. It means we have no measurement, and we will not guess. A book is only ever called cheap or dear here after we have read its prices ourselves.
