    I wonder why lol

    Between this and your mate asking for people to be reinstated after a solid 36 hours of him being allowed back himself after close to a year, I think y'all are setting a new record for wtf here.

    haha

    What do you think happened?

    @PanamaBrad - at some books you would've been perma banned for taking a shot. Try writing to forum at sportsbookreview.com and see if they'll consider reinstating your freeplay

    When is the last time you've seen me discuss an SBR line let alone have any say over it in a meaningful fashion? I'd propose that would be in August 2012 when it was suggested I wouldn't attend a Bash and SBR got dinged for 100k+ points.

    If you don't know to stay away from obviously off lines, especially after all of your preaching about supposedly knowing gambling shit, then I'm not sure what else to tell you other than follow the same advice I gave Panama Brad - email forum at sportsbookreview.com, apologise for taking a shot. thank them for not already banning you and see what they say about reinstating your free play.

    When SBR created a special line for the AFC CG, you could parlay the ML on both the special line & real line. I did it for 10 pts to see if it worked then created a thread...I think they kept true to that one & the o/u of 10 for the Superbowl.

    Banned for "taking a shot" because the book put up the wrong line? That's on the book. Cancelling it is fine...but banned is a little extreme. I sell on Amazon & ebay. If I fukk up the pricing on Amazon and someone buys the item, I can either cancel it or ship it but I'm still subject to negative feedback if I cancel it. Amazon isn't banning the customer for taking a shot at me.

    That's a great policy for your Amazon store daneblazer! However it's not one that's inline with many of the major sportsbooks out there. but of course you know that if you've read even one day of the Sportsbook and Industry forum.

    Best thing to do is to advise people to place their bets with Amazon in the future I suppose. Let me know how that goes!


    and yes katstale - be like the typical degen and turn around and direct your aggression at me instead of looking at yourself as to why you were taking a shot on an obviously off line. I've done it and I've suffered the consequences when I have. But keep misdirecting your frustration instead of admitting you're a shot taker in this instance. Be thankful you only lost a silly Internet forum freeplay instead of real cash... or maybe you wouldn't have had the guts to do it with real $. Who knows. Either way though, blame it on big bad old Shari. In fact I probably held a gun to your head and made you click OK on the bet.

    Take responsibility people.

    That's not my policy, that's Amazon's. So out of curiosity, what happens if some MMA know nothing, like me, placed a bet on Rousey? I couldn't pick the rest of these guys out of a lineup if you gave me $1,000 to do it...but I can pick out Rousey because she's been in the media so frequently.

    What should we do if we see a bad line on SBR...besides not bet it? Posting it on the forum brings attention to it, but it seems to be the fastest way to get a mods attention. Most of the errors I have seen have to do with starting times...

    If there hadn't been a thread started with the title "SBR shot takers check in" and we couldn't see the time that each bet was placed, then with someone like yourself the benefit of the doubt would be given. In this case however it's not too difficult to gauge when bets were placed... especially when we can track which threads people visit.

    As to your latter question, there have been threads about offlines started by SBR staff before. PM one of us or email us. You'll get a thank you gift and we get the pleasure of not having to deal with drama.

    I never understood why the sportsbook feels it's the customers responsibility to compare any line with other sportsbooks prior to betting, just to make sure any particular line is good. Nobody has the time to compare all lines. Customers aren't odds makers, we obviously don't know what the line should be. God forbid a sportsbook takes responsibility for their line errors.
