Can't beleive you guys. This is an internet book, not my bookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They've had Cinn at +18 now down to 16 for the last 40 mintues.

Just thought any of you who had an account with them might be interested.

Wez just a kidd-n wedja. Hope they honor it for you! Good luck

 

[Teddy KGB]

good luck not gettin it cancelled. your best bet is to just call them and confirm it before going haywire

 

[old.goleta.boy]

Just can' beleive they haven't caught on. They just keep bringing it down. See what happens at gametime. Sort of doubt they will do it. Should of kept it under a dime.

 

[jmizeus]

just lgged onto them say's "line is temporarily unavailable"

i seriously doubt that they will honor your bet! like teddy said you better call them before you go nuts!

gl!

 

[MadJack]

how 'bout when they leave it up and when you win, they cancel the bet, you lose, they leave the bet?

or, they kick you out for betting into a bad line.

all of the above can happen.

 

[ddubs]

2 of the above 3 have happened to me. Haven't gotten kicked out yet, though. :nono:

 

[old.goleta.boy]

Oh Well!! Can't imagine losing the bet. I've been a nice cash cow for them lately, so doubt they will kick me out.

Thanks for the Advice All.:shrug:

not my business what you do,but that is just like stealing in my book.

its bad enough that players get screwed and have to fight to try to prove a point that they are right at times because books don't like to work with you to much,even if they say they do.

but when a player goes into a badline like that its not like its off by 3 or so that could just be their stance but 32,thats what makes us look as bad as some of them.

just my 2 cents but i don't belive in trying to play that game.:nono:

this happened to me with the neb/mia 2nd half line in football and once they found out they called and the bet was cancelled. Ive also heard that if you ever see a bad line if you call alot of books will give you a credit .

 

[twofingers]

None of offshores that advertise on this site would pull that trick, would they Jack?

I agree 100% with Fletcher.

A few years ago, when Grand Central opened up, they would screw up a line or two a day for a couple weeks, especially college basketball. I started waiting for the lines to come out and I would be right on the phone calling them in. They were giving me $25 credit for each bad line. After four days in row of doing this, when I called them in the next day I could hear the guy on the phone firing the guy who must have been typing in the lines. After that, the problem was rectified. I never found another bad line he whole time I had an account there. That was a sweet deal if it would have lasted a bit longer.

they would all cancel the bet because it's an obvious mistake.

they MIGHT be pissed at a player that tried to take advantage of them by betting the bad line.

i don't know thebigbook so not sure what they would do.

the 'right' thing to do is tell them about the mistake.

 

[fletcher]

i hope they all would,it teaches people to not try and steal something that isnot right.

people want to cheat and thats what that is then they should let it go and wash it away if it wins and stick it to you if it goes down in flames.

a clear bad line like that 36-32 points is nothing but trying to cheat GREED! then to tell others to hurry and do the same thing is worse.
