To whom it may concern:

I will admit I am new at this, and you can see this is my first post. I was in Costa Rica about a month and a half ago on vacation and someone was talking about BetEd.com and their juicy lines. I proceeded to sign up at my friend's office and had my mom put $1000 in the account via ** from back home in Minnesota. I did know they had juicy dog lines after talking to people explaining to me the advatage of betting the "good" number with the "right" side. Of course, they said I could lose but I had a good chance with those unreal numbers.

I played that weekend at my friends office for the first 7 plays (i know it is 7 because BetEd told me this). The following plays for the next 4 to 5 weeks were all from my home in Minnesota following coming home from vacation. I ran this original $1000 into $18970. I didn't even watch half the games or know much about football, but I would just compare their lines to Pinnicle's number and just bet the ones that were the most off. It was so awesome, I felt like the greatest sports gambler ever, and I was having a ball. I would just keep winning and winning so I didn't see the need to attempt to withdraw any of it. Is this way of gambling on sports not "allowed" or what?

I called BetEd for a withdrawal, and after a lot of talk with numberous customer service people over two weeks, they finally agreed to give me two payouts per week for $1500 until the balance was totally withdrawn. While I did want all of the money, I went along with this. They were going to send $1500 to **, and $1500 to my bank account for the first two payments. The next day I signed into my account to look at the lines and my account did not work. I checked my email and they told me my BetEd account was closed. I called customer service and they said the only way I was allowed to contact them from now on was email. I demanded to talk to a manager and they hung up on me.

I read over their website and they said they dont take customers from Costa Rica. I explained that I was not from Costa Rica and that I am from Minnesota, and that is where my deposit was from, along with the vast majority of my wagers. They said it did not matter because the account was signed up in Costa Rica then everything after that was null & void.

To be honest this is the first sportsbook that I have ever signed up with. I am a 29 year old single mother of one and I was more than thrilled to know that I had almost 19k in this account and could not stop thinking about the things I was going to buy. I talked to my friend who told me to post on this site to see if anyone could do anything for me. Yesterday was trick or treating with my daughter or I would have posted this sooner.

Beted says they will refund the orginal $1000. This I found out yesterday and I have saved all emails between us. I can post these if this will help me at all. I dont know what else to do and I know there is no regulation and no one to make them pay me my money. I did not take a screenshot of my account and balance and now wish I did by my account number was xxxxx.

Please, if anyone has any ideas please, please let me know. I feel totally depressed and hopeless. My email is xxxxxxxxx.
