Boxing wagers - what's wrong with BWIN??

[Donny]

I've been having weird experience with that bookie. My wagers (mostly on boxing) get consistently graded incorrectly by bwin and I have to talk to them every time to change the result. I think over the last 1.5-2 years 5 or 6 of my wagers were initially graded as losers. 5 or 6 doesn't sound too many over that time, but it means it happened for something like 40% of my winning wagers.

The latest example - they graded my bet on Dirrell as a loser! I am obviously talking to them and expect it to be changed (like the last 5 times), but that's worrying.. I mean, it could look like a gross incompetence of their betting department (which is not a good thing on it is own), but the fact that they only grade incorrectly the WINNING wagers and have never graded incorrectly a losing one in my favour bothers me.

Just wondering if anyone has a similar expirience with them and what do you make out of it?

Had my Diaz vs Markham not to go distance in UFC yesterday graded correct , never really had any problems with them .

... no worries Donny I am with BWIN for years, they grade things wrong by far more often then other books, BUT they change the result if you complain!

So if you simply check acc. after every weekend there should be no issue.

But do not get me wrong I do not like to check bets results all the time ... e.g. I had to complain regarding 2 wagers this weekend... but I can life with that, as they offer nice odds and compared to others; they do not steal your money or bullshit you

Thanks, guys

Yep, as Lord was predicting, they just changed the result to the correct one.. They do provide good odds quite often (Dirrell straight with them was better than Dirrel by Decision with other bookies!), but because of those grading issues I am trying to use them only when the odds are reeeeally good.

I remember one time I actually had to complain about the same wager twice as they looked at it and said it was correct. I even gave them the links, they could not read the result correctly from Boxrec Funny..

But yep, the good thing they don't seem to be doing it on purpose..
