i have a case right? no where on the bet does it say 1st 5.

[lakerboy]

What was the line for full game?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

probably ~-125 but bovada's new layout is weird. they have the normal line and they have live bet line even before the game starts. when i reviewed my bet there was no mention of the usual "prop 1st 5". hence, i thought i accidentally clicked on the live bet which the odds are way worse.

this is due to their new layout. fukking hate it.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Wow for once someone who actually posts has a complaint.

Do the right thing SBR

[Ghenghis Kahn]

this is what their 1st 5 bets usually look like...

Line value is 1st 5, not full game.

Anyways, please fill out a complaint form: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sportsbook-complaint/

[Ghenghis Kahn]

last time i filed a complaint, you sided with the book. just let me know if i have a case or not. i don't want some idiot sbr employee writing dumb fukking article accusing me of something.

it's clearly their mistake, do you see under baseball it says moneyline? and the one i posted after it says props 1st 5? there's a difference.

i will take a screen shot of the confusion of what i'm talking about when it happens. after the new update, they sometimes put live bet lines before the game even starts.

I apologize if you thought I was insinuating anything, because I wasn't. I personally don't handle book complaints. If you have a case, we will definitely help.

[daneblazer]

The worst they can say is no

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i guess, i just hate the new layout.

[Smoke]

With two bubble bottoms like that .... YES

[pavyracer]

Can you post an example of another ticket that was for the full game ML?

According to sbrodds the ML was -127 when you placed the bet. They could claim software malfunction when issuing the ticket receipt. Maybe call them and they could give you a free play for pointing out the discrepancy. But SBR is not going to help your case because the line you bet is definitely 5 innings based on the history SBR recorded.

if that's the case hopefully the marlins lose. but i'm telling you the new layout has some weird shit going on.

this is their new layout. you see there are three different lines. the one that has a lock on it is the live line. sometimes the line gets unlocked before the game even starts. that's why i thought i accidentally clicked on the live bet line.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

see like this... check the time stamp. all three lines are available.

[badgerguy]

Fuk em up Kahn, the new layout sucks ass. It's slow and takes forever to navigate. That's not to mention the mobile bs going on. FU Bovada.

[BuckyOne]

I think I see what you are saying about the new format. Where are the rotation #'s at? Do they print out on the ticket? Different # for the game than live or ist 5?

[daneblazer]

Probably not a bad idea to practice a few $1 bets before football season starts. Sounds like a nightmare

[mth61]

Bovada just created the worst betting platform... the worst

[jtoler]

Quit trying to get over.

I don't think you have much of a case personally. Partly because you are honest about having intended a 5 inning bet anyway. But mostly because it sounds like the bet listing and odds were fine and the problem is just the bet confirmation info.

But like someone else said, given the teething problems there, it sounds like the sort of problem they might like to offer a goodwill freeplay over.

And doesn't sound like there is any danger of criticism of you personally either way.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

see this is where the problem lies. hypothetically, if the ticket was graded as moneyline and the marlins lost yesterday, i would have no case and lose my money since the ticket clearly says moneyline. but since it's their mistake, it's all good...

[Ghenghis Kahn]

more than a free play, i would prefer their old layout. but they are stubbornly refusing to go back.

[mikejamm]

Blowvada fuk'in sucks! period! They probably came up with this new bullshit layout just to fuk with players. That way, when there is a fuk up, they can blame it on the software and not have to honor shit! You're wasting your time Kahn, move to a better book like 5Dimes.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i play at both. i just need to use heritage more but they don't have any debit/*********** funding options.

You're right about that angle. IF the bet was graded as a ML it would be a tough argument and if I was helping you I'd try to convince you the chances you had made the error are too high to get into a big argument with them over. So it is important the ticket is right like you say.

But it would be a pretty big system stuff-up their end if the bet was struck as a 5 Innings with those odds (whatever the ticket said) and then graded at as a ML. pretty unlikely scenario.

I think you are not alone but expecting them to roll back is a bit of a stretch to hope for. Think they will just keep tweaking the new sioftware from here no matter what anyone says.

[Itsamazing777]

Washington was -120 or so I think full game

Actually you would still have a case in that scenario as the odds would be wrong for a ML bet.

no, that's what you think.

no, that's what you think.

Um, why did you ask if you don't believe one of the people who would be handling it?

Whatever you think, I know that would be the angle I would argue in that scenario.

my last complaint was about rugby league moneyline where the team i wagered on won but they graded the wager as a loss.

there reasoning was the game was tied after the full 80 minutes and it was a three-way line. i pointed out the fact that they had no explanation of this on their nrl rules but it was a three-way line due to the fact that there was a tie option.

in there rugby rules they do explain about not counting the gold point rule but they don't mention anything about 2 or 3 way lines like they do in soccer.

these sites can pick and choose however they please, that's my beef.
