    Bookies are thieves
    I hate bookies that don't accept your live bet because the odds lowered by 0.05% but they accept your bet when the odds rise by 25%.

    I'm talking about Pinnacle now. I took Kovalik to win first set at 2.07 but they didn't accept because it dropped to 2.0. Then I bet again at 1.71 but the odds moved to 2.07 again during confirmation, of course they accepted the bet at lower odds. Fair bookies would have accepted the bet at the higher price. As if the deck wasn't stacked enough already against us.

    Check to see if they have options ls for you to change on whether changes are accepted automatically or not like many books have

      I have "Always accept better odds" but it doesn't seem to do anything.

          Only bet live at the breaks

          Impossible to make a line while the game is being played

            100% correct. Take tennis for example. If you go to Flash scores and you are watching a match on TV you will see who wins the point sometimes even before it starts on TV. There is a delay on the TV. The books get the point as soon as the ump presses the button. So the delay to confirm your bet is really a way to rob you.

            Bet only between games in tennis. Other sports on breaks also.

              Uncheck that option then, because it worked as intended in this instance.

              The move from 2.07 to 2.0 was declined as it is a move to a worse odds.

              The move from 1.71 to 2.07 was accepted as you got a better odds.

                  Except I didn't get better odds, I got 1.71 even though my guy lost a point while the bet was being accepted. If he had won a point instead then my bet would've been rejected.

                                Oh so the line moved to 2.07 but they locked you in at 1.71? Yeah that's scummy.
