Oddsmaker is a horrible sportsbook, I had a bad experience with them too.

I know its crazy. I have the osga trying to fix it and if oddsmaker steps up and pays me I will take back what i said for sure. So far i am still out the 8k. This will tell me a lot how this all ends. Either way the osga really has gone to bat for me. ill keep everyone posted as to how this ends.

Hi Jim. I have been communicating with Oddsmaker on this issue. Please check your mail.

The General · 06-24-09, 06:28 PM

Glad to see you are going to get paid, Jimmy.

Best of luck with everything.

j0hnnyv · 06-24-09, 06:29 PM

best news I heard all week. after kennys initial decision and how firm he was and then defending it about 1000 times to every poster bashing it. i am kind of stunned at the sudden reversal.

Great job by the General getting this thing out there and getting public opinion and poster power behind this player.

The General did a superb job. He helped me a few years back recover 6K from Betus. He knows how to get the job done.

Congrats!

General is as good as it comes in these things...

Good work Pete.

Does Oddsmaker get a rating boost after this

They did pay the guy 8k off of a freePlay.

Of course I did, and while I understand that Oddsmaker values the relationship with EOG, you can be sure the call to change the tone and pay came from OM to EOG, not the other way around, if you know what I mean.

No, they owe other players.

Bill What do you think the percentage of players is that Oddsmaker screws that don't know about the forums.. I know they flood the states with Mailers like Betus still does and BoS did... I know it's Hypothetical, but I would assume it is very high considering they don't know about places that can help them

Oddsmaker is a stiff book

michael777 · 06-24-09, 08:24 PM

the general is a really good guy

I got a mailer from oddsmaker.com stating 100% first deposit bonus. It sounded like a very good promo and I was preparing to open an account with $500 until I saw this thread. I think I'll stay away.

Anyone know how they got my address for mailings? I've never received anything from any books in the mail other than checks, so it made me a little curious.

Ever play at BOS?

Hey guys,

I'm new here. I was searching the internet about Oddsmaker scams because I wasn't sure if the site was legit. I received a promo in the mail stating I could get $100 Instant Bonus with no deposit required if I opened an account.

So, I opened an account and talked with live chat support to see what I needed to do to be able to cash out any winnings. Basically, they told me that I needed to turn the $100 into $1500, and that anything over the $1500 would be mine to keep, as long as it was no more than a $1000. Well, I played Roulette, just for fun, as I wasn't expecting to win anything, and I turned the $100 into $2375 and immediately cashed out $875.00. Their bank wire option was working, so I used that as my cash-out option. That was on June 25th. I decided to search about their website to see if they were legit, and when I came across this website and all the bad stuff about oddsmaker, I got a little scared thinking they might steal money from my bank account since they have my account numbers.

I just looked at my online bank statement and the $875.00 has been electronically deposited, but it's still pending. Do you guys think the deposit will be good and that I don't have to worry about being screwed over somehow? Thanks.

They have done this same promotion a lot. As far as I can remember, anyone always got paid whatever they were supposed to (as long as they understood the promotion clearly - which can be a challenge) but just that it would sometimes take several weeks.

mmiller5373 · 07-01-09, 02:14 PM

Thanks for the reply Reload. Anyone else know anything?

sickler · 07-01-09, 02:21 PM

miller, it's not a lot of money.

With the questionable books, it's usually in the mid four figures and up when you might have to sweat it out.

I've never heard reports of Oddsmaker stealing from bank accounts.
