Betonline.ag live football with Drive Props is a joke. Almost every time I attempt to make a bet on a Drive Prop ( mostly during commercials) the price is reduced slightly or frozen and reopened at the same price and have repeated attempts the price typically drops to half the price you intended on betting. And dont even bother trying to bet on a Drive Prop during live competition because the price will be reduced as your bet is being processing and if you are lucky enough to get a bet in its because its not in your favor. If the ball is close to being snapped they will allow less favorable (if not losing bets) to go through because the bets process for 10 seconds, so you are at their mercy. Ive been watching their living betting (specifically football with drive props) for years and its getting progressively worse. Its a fuckin scam.

I noticed they pretty much all do this these days, especially I've noticed with Tennis. There must be some software in the industry that handles because they can all do it these days.

If your bet clears your guy loses that point, if it recalculates and doesnt take your bet its cause your guy wins the next point. There is always a delay whether you feed is online, or the TV. I don't know how but they get the info quicker than you do.

I don't bet live anymore unless i really have a good feel on something and absolutely willing to get hoses a little bit.

BetOnline has probably doubled the amount of live betting markets offered in large part due to player demand. As far as what the OP described in the first post, there's zero intent on BetOnline's part to cherrypick which bets go through. As anyone who has played a lot of live betting can attest, you certainly aren't going to get anywhere near the majority of your bets in depending on a host of factors, latency, your connection, the feeds, etc. It is both what makes live betting thrilling and at times annoying. It will work out in your favor over the long haul and cause you to not to enter some losing bets.

SBR forum they absolutely cherrypick, Ive been watching their live betting for years, instead of freezing all the lines (which they are more than capable of doing) they often freeze the winning bets. So if you are unfortunate enough to have a slow tv feed for the game and you take a drive bet late youre screwed. Its a no win situation. If thats not the definition of cherryicking i dont know what is.

I love live betting, i make alot of extra money doing it and it saves my a$$ occasionally, my only issue is some of lines stay frozen for way too long

How in the world can you say this as fact?? at least say "i think or i guess" before your statement which is probably false. I expect an answer like that from betonline themselves, not a 3rd party watch dog site. but i guess that explains why i have been burned badly trusting you guys in the past.

I have noticed that they have been freezing more lately. Saturday morning, all bets for all matches were frozen for a good while.

I have often noticed that a few seconds before my TV shows a team hit a home run (or complete a deep pass, etc.) the bets on that team and the over are frozen, while the player is free to bet the under or the other team.

this is actually fact. they will at times close the markets on the side that is doing well and keep it open on side that is not doing well.

example- over under is 45. its 10-10 late in 1st half. a touchdown is scored. they will continue accepting bets on under 45 but not accept any on over 45. in fact, if one had placed a bet on over 45 the bet would be rejected after its 10 seconds of thinking. A bet on under 45, the bet would be accepted after the thinking. (since they kept the under 45 market open). is this allowed? i guess its there right, although defenitely unethical if they dont clearly state that they are doing this. But why would they state that they are doing this when the watchdog site clearly stated above "there's zero intent on BetOnline's part to cherrypick which bets go through".

What do you expect SBR Forum to say. Whose side do you think they are on?

It's not different than the Online Casinos. Of course they taking advantage of you. Of course they are going to pull the odds which go against their favor first, and leave the ones against you lingering out there for a bit.

If you owned a business, and you were in a meeting and trying to figure out how to make more money and some IT guy said"hey want me to leave the crap lines available for 5 more seconds? Should increase revenue and nobody will be able to prove it"... what are you going to say? No, don't like free money! No You're going to say "How much is it going to cost? Oh nothing? The platform comes prebuilt with that feature? Oh right yeah that's why I bought this one when we were deciding which software to use. Yeah sure let's do it."

You really think a competitive live odds software wouldn't have this feature easily available to turn on by the bookie? If they didn't they would be replaced very quickly in the industry by someone who could.

Why do you think that bet window spins for like 10 seconds, but they can instantly accept any other kind of bet? I mean what the hell is that? They either take the bet instantly or not? It's either there as an illusion so you can't really prove if/when bets are accepted to prove any kind of case against them. Or it's even more malicious and they are waiting for an updated set of odds to come through and then decide to accept or reject your bet at the previous odds.

These people are not saints, they are bookies. Mostly unregulated, and even where they are regulated how could you really bring a strong enough case to do anything about it?

I know for a fact from betting in-game live tennis how this works. My bet is accepted 100% of the time when the guy I'm on loses the next point. It is accepted 0% of the time when my guy wins the next point. And this happens at every bookie I've ever played at. It's part of the juice you accept when you live bet tennis, and everyone who has live bet more than 5 tennis matches knows this.
