    5 Dimes: Vikings under bettors

    2 options, give up your wager or lose your account? What the fuk? How is that even possible? Such bullshit business.

    I bet Packers to win division and Minn under 10 wins after the news. My wagers are still listed as open. Did you get a notice of some kind?

    Is this only for under bets made after the injury happen but before the line was adjusted? No way could it apply to bets made prior to the injury. I would guess most books would void any wagers made after the news broke but before books adjusted based on their bad line rule.

    The books should honor all wagers made before or after the news. If they were slow to react, it's on them.

    Now we have to forecast injuries before placing a bet when books don't like it. It's becoming pointless to bet with offshore thieves.

    If they were smart they'd keep the bets. Vikes could still go over

    I'm not sure how the injury really makes that much difference. Vikes are a running team with a good defence.

    I think everyone is missing this post. I'm assuming it is for the guys who took shots and made big wagers shortly after news of injury.
    Nothing really to see here. It says in their rules not to take shots. If you know a line isn't right it is your responsibly not to bet it. With the way betting is at the moment the books control the rules and there are not many other places to run to.

    We need to see badgerguys bet time stamp. Anyone knows when the news broke out of the injury?

    We have had this discussion before.....see this thread:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...eries-bet.html

    It was not a bad line. It was a stale line. So the bets should stand. But naturally 5Dimes are free afterwards to decide to boot all the players who took advantage of their slow moving lines.

    Asleep at the switch or taking a shot? I swear every time I think maybe I'll deposit at 5D some shit like this happens.

    Taking advantage of info known to you but not the book is not taking a shot, it's smart gambling. The OP should give up his account because the cockroaches will no doubt pull crap like this in the future.

    The Vikings do not have that hard of a schedule and they usually have strong home-field. Would not be shocked if they won 10 games.

    Curious to know if you bet the over would Tony Big Balls question that ? I've always hated his God like ego all these years. I wish I could have a real life confrontation with him to settle my scores !
