Canada for game. Canada won the game but I lose the bet??? That's f*cked up!!!

The two way ML was a lot higher than that.

It sounds like you were betting 3 way, which means Canada had to win in regulation for you to win your bet. They didn't.

same thing happened w me at Intertops, but it was listed as ML. they cited a place in the rules where it says all international hockey games are in regulation. such bullshit

Actually, all international games are for regulation only unless it says 'OUTRIGHT" or " TO ADVANCE". Still, you had the moneyline which should have been a push, although at that price it was probably -1/2 becaue that's what i had at 5Dimes at that price. I got screwed on that a few years ago because i didn't think international rules would be different from NHL.

such bullshit.....You bet on a team to win the game, they win the game, and they still keep your money. The c*nt I was talking to at pinnacle said there is an option for betting a tie so that's why I lost. I asked her what I would have to bet to include OT and she didn't respond.

Pinnacle didn't screw you. You screwed yourself by not reading the rules and understanding the basic parameters of the wager. Didn''t the tie option give you a clue. Time to step up and accept responsibility for your own actions. Pinny remains a premium option for competent sports investing and is under no obligation to ensure your comprehension level.

This is completely on you.

It didn't raise a red flag that you were getting a much better line than a normal to win line would be?

This is like when people bet on soccer, ignore the fact that it's a 3 way line, and think that ML wins if a team wins in extra time/penalty kicks.

You bet on a 3 way line. Your bet was for Canada in regulation.

Now you're insulting the Pinnacle people because of your inability to understand basic lines?
