Bovada voids Portland series bet

[jjgold]

lines-makers are real lazy

They make $9 an hr

They should fire guy who was slow..more people should get fired even if they have 4 kids ..lazy unacceptable

Kid also should be rewarded $100 from the book

[SBRMAN23]

Been a BS book for many years, used them when i first got into the game. But realized too many good options out there to deal with them and the BS. Pack shop and get over to Heritage,DSI,or Youwager if your Americano

Ya, I'll be looking to move to another book as well. Bovada sucks. Their lines are late to post and often out of sync with most other books.

I've also heard they adjust lines for players if you bet on a certain team a lot.

For example, you bet the Cowboys every week, and in this scenario the line for most people is Dallas +4, but they give you Dallas +3, because they know you'll take it anyway.

[JIBBBY]

Bovada is taking a full 2 weeks to honor a payout request I made.. They claim it takes 10 business days and they aren't lying.. Today is the 9th business day.. I don't remember Bovada every taking this long to deliver on the goods.....

I'm sure they'll payout though, they are usually very good about that.. I just remember they were always the fastest, they may be the slowest now...

[TheMoneyShot]

Point was it is the book's responsibility to oversee the lines they offer to players. A player's job is not to try and guess if the line is incorrect, stale or bad before placing a bet. Other than checking their own software for the lines offered in their website what other job does a line manager and his employees have to do all day?

Exactly.

I remember seeing another complaint about a LINE JUMPING 1/2 point because of a wager. Guy hit the line again... because it moved a half a point in THE WRONG DIRECTION. Book claims it was an automated error. Cancelled player's wagers.

This book knows who they are.... hope you're reading this too. GET BENT.

A line can move a half a point in any direction for a variety of different reasons. Such BULLSH#$.

MAN UP!!! And accept wagers. Damn... that's the entire point you're in operation.

The sport lines are very slow to pop up, especially the ML bets in NBA and other sports.... You can get good lines on dog plays though at times on Bovada.. They do have a bunch of prop plays as well in MMA which I like..

They have very good bonus stuff as well. For example I received a $100 free credit for slot play just last month for I don't know what?.. I laughed and played the $100 freeplay with 25x rollover. I played the $100 freeplay at $5 a spin and hit for $800 and then $260, it took $200 more worth of losing to finally meet the rollover terms.. Sure enough I got credited $850 in the end real betting cash credited to my account balance for doing nothing....

I was shocked as it was on an Aladdin Geenie slot video game that I was playing on Bovada. I hit something and bingo I got paid twice, it lit up.. I never thought you could win at any of those online slot, video poker, table games especially when playing with free credit. I thought for sure they were all rigged.. Guess what you can, I'm living proof of that.. I still would never play any of those video games with real betting money.

youre 100% i just meant we playing by their rules now theres no give even when they are at fault

What is the status of this claim? Clippers were slight favorite in game 5 before news of Griffin being out and the numbers shifted hard to Portland. Surely somebody has the line history of this on Don Best. Somebody napping at the wheel and figured the majority of players affected don't or won't post on a forum.

I have to wait until May 1 to withdraw without fees bc they got mad that I filed a claim lol. I bet 10-1 they still charge me to withdraw even though I have a check in the mail now for free and my account is noted my withdraws are free

[lego3882]

Bovada saved themselves how much but not only voiding those wagers but also not doing so until the line ballooned 120 points

[nyplayer33]

Correct it was a line error...if Portland was favored in game 5..they will be minus 6 or 7 game 6...this happens often...5 dimes etc..relax

This was not an error. This was a worker asleep at the wheel. The price was fine when the status of Griffin was uncertain for the series. When the flag came up stating that Griffin was out all lines came down for adjustment.

New series came out with Port around - 180 which kept climbing up as Game 5 price went up further (meaning Game 6 would be much higher also).

Bovada was asleep and just kept original price up. So this is stale line and not bad line and all bets should stand.

Can't believe people keep saying this...it's not even close to a line error.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Whether they reinstate the bet or not, you should cash out and leave the cockroaches.

[Bill Dozer]

Anyone have line history for the series?

[stefan084]

bovada taking forever to put up their lines should be reason enough to leave them. they wait till they see what the sharp books do, then give those lines juiced to the gills. only possible benefit for someone playing there is to get good numbers on underdogs ,

Anybody betting favorites at B just stop. There will be a better number at pretty much every other book

I like bovada as a dog betting place. Bad lines, late lines, juiced lines have nothing to do with this issue or why I keep money on this book. I use other books. The issue is this can't be the standard for them, if this is how they operate its an issue. Bad numbers and late numbers are something that is known and accepted.

[Bill Dozer]

Thanks dirtdog. We have the line history as well. It looks like what happened is they hung the line before Blake's injury was reported and didnt update it. We will discuss this with mgt.

The spread and moneyline for game 5 jumped at that same time.

How long did take them to react compared to other books?

My slip says it was placed at 5:11 on 4/26. I am 100% sure that time is off atleast an hour ahead. Not sure why, may not have updated my time zone. Settled 9:50am 4/27

I hope they compensate you somehow pal. Regardless, I'd look at other books. Try Heritage Sports. They have -105 low vig program. And -108 vig with cash back program. Look into it.

Thanks I am moving this money to another book for sure. Looking for Bitcoin withdrawal

[habitualwinning]

That book needs to be downgraded. Every time I see a problem on this forum, it's always Bodog/Bovada. They pull crap that other books just don't and never will. Should be no higher than a C book. If that was my only out, I probably just wouldn't bet.

[indio]

People need to understand that Bovada is THE top place for US based Poker and Casino play. They also have a top racebook for horse racing players. Their sportsbook is strictly a recreational model and is terrible for most serious sports bettors. They put up ultra-late lines, juice the heck out of live betting, deal duel lines for different accounts, and they are often slow to the punch to change lines or fix bad lines. They will also limit winning sports bettors like other recreational books do. They do offer lines for a million different things, so it's no surprise they would screw up on their pricing quite often. However, they have a practically spotless record when it comes to paying people, and they don't mind paying off big figures to players. They also have some of best casino bonuses throughout the year and the casino is on the level with lot's of progressive jackpots as well.

If you're a regular poker player and casino player who likes to bet the occasional ball game or golf future or MMA fight or horse race, Bovada is a must have. If however you're primarily a sports bettor only who bets multiple bets every day and are looking to bet games at the best prices and want to have lines as soon as possible to possibly bet a game before there is a line move, then Bovada will have practically no use for you.

[nyplayer33]

You bet a line that didn't adjust after a main injury...of this happened at 5 dimes they would if voided it.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Horseshit but no surprise....I can't believe it's now 2016 and we still don't have top notch access to online sports betting like Europeans (and Canadians?) have

I just bet very small online these days for parlays and futures because everything is such a fukkin hassle and you can't fully trust anything.....I have used the same local for over 5 years and no issues for my main plays

[vividjohn45]

This was in no way a line error.

I bet clippers to win series at +120 at Justbet yesterday. So the line was just fine. Bovada was probably just slow to react to the news of Griffin being out. My bet at Justbet was ofc not cancelled. And I would not expect it to be.

It is extremely shady if Bovada is cancelling these wagers.

Agreed. Books and bettors all in the same boat when it comes to injuries.

Are you silly? So you are saying all books will just void the bet after an injury? So is it fair in your eyes for the bettor to contact the book after an injury and cancel the play if it goes against you? I think you are seriously misinformed about what is a bad line and what is an employee sleeping on the job.
