    Bovada.lv scam they ran tonight

    They graded the Baylor game as a win @1025 and allowed players to play with money that was in action. How could I play with money that in in action. I log in after game and notice that I played poker with money that was still in action. If I would have won, they would have said some shit. Is there any books out there that can grade a game correctly? I believed that the money I was playing with was a poker promotion still owed to me. NO WAY AROUND IT, after the game was over, immediately, I should have had what I risked and won. This is what I sent them.

    I understand this completely. HOWEVER, I thought that the funds that were in my account were from a poker promotion that is STILL owed to me. This game was settled at 1025pm and wasn't over for 3hrs later. The funds I was looking for were already given to me INCORRECTLY by your grading system. HOW COULD I PLAY WITH MONEY THAT IS STILL IN ACTION? If Baylor would have lost, and I would have won funds from that, you all would have took it. I just ask for my account to be graded correctly. I mean, at 1:30am, I should have had, NO WAY AROUND IT, **** in my account immediately following the end of the game. I logged in after the game and noticed. This was A) either a sincere mistake that needs fixed or B) a blatant foul because you all knew it was over and hoped that Baylor backers would lose their money. This is crazy. I do fully intend on taking this to SPORTSBOOKREVIEW.COM and explaining how I got screwed. IT is not our job to grade games

    This is the most retarded complaint EVER.

    Guy gets his money before the game is over throws a fit cause he lost it all.

    If he won in poker the thread would of went like this:

    "Wow best book ever, graded my bet a win early and went into the poker room and doubled it up. A+ must have out, great fukin book right here guys!!! Not only do they pay, they pay early!"

    so he lost all his money and is now bitching about it?

    i remember betjamaica allowing you to bet funds that were in action too. but if you bet it then it was your fault if you lost.

    What a joke. When I started reading the thread I thought somehow UCLA came back, and he was going to complain that he now owed Bovada money, because they graded a wager early and then reversed it.

    You sir are an idiot, people wonder why SBR can't handle all complaints properly, it's likely cause they have to deal with morons like OP.

    OP's self-control/discipline committed a bigger crime against him than Bovada did.

    duuuuuude.... seriously

    we get threads when people are paid out early = Yay great book... we get threads when books don't payout early on blowouts and degens are going crazy to blow their cash on another game = boo crappy book

    first time i've seen a person complain about getting paid out early, losing their cash and then trying to blame the book. You're a legend gdoom

    Oh and I also graded a lot of NFL Reg Season Future bets in the SBR Book tonight. Some teams weren't going to hit the over # of games won even if there were another 6 weeks left. gcravat, if you are one of those people who found some pts in your account today, please let me know. I'll take them back until the last second of the last game is played. Would hate for you to get your tie into a twist about this.

    I've read it several times... like way too many... as I was the one working when he first posted it.

    What part am I missing? The game was a blowout. His bet was going to win regardless of what happened in the next xx time frame. And actually I was going to ask, do college football games now take 3hrs? They might but that would mean Bovada graded his bet a winner after like 2 minutes even though it started at 9:45? Numbers seem wrong. But anyway... 365, sportingbet, willhill and there's an offshore one that have graded my bets winners early. One of them ended up being wrong... I want to say a tennis one... but still was paid out. They want you to 'reinvest' that cash as quickly as possible obviously. Whether on games or in the casino/poker. Because we're all mainly losers end of the day... not a big secret.

    There is a

    48% chance gdoom didn't confirm the bet, bet a different game that ended, or some other random happenings
    48% he is lying about 10:25
    4% his story is actually true (and I'm not sure what should happen)

    but there is a 0% chance this has to do with the game being a blowout at 1025 and that is all everyone has talked about in this thread.

    I def think he got 10:25 mixed up. Not a deliberate misstatement, just mixed up. And I think everyone's talking about the game being a blowout because that happens...you've never had a book cash your bet before the game ended? I'd be surprised if not. Seriously I've had quite a few... especially when I'm on the dog in tennis with a handicap and there's no way they're going to lose it.

    if he got the time mixed up, yea that's definitely his fault.



    Everyone made it out to be that he got paid early because it was a blowout. I think the game officially started around 9:59 (but not sure on that) and he got paid at 10:25. With what I know about gdoom, its highly doubtful his story is true....but if it then I think he has a complaint. Ofcourse, it'd just be a complaint and who knows if he would even win that. I guess it depends on if he is owed poker money and if it is close to what he won on the football game.

    They graded both of my bets on this game early,one bet was for the under 81.When I logged into my acct I noticed I had more funds than when I was previously on placing the bets.I checked my bet history and seen that they had already been settled,but I didn't race off to poker room to lose it,at 1025 there was still chance the game would go over.I just figured it was a mistake and if it ended up going over they would correct it,Didnt try to double it up and then bitch if I lost.

    What if one of the players retires / the match gets canceled or some other rule? Your first bet would be re-graded a PUSH, so what would happen with any new winnings you made by betting with the winnings that were later taken back? You would be betting with money that was never really yours. So what if you put that money on a huuuuge underdog, lets say $1000 (200 yours, 800 from the tennis underdog win) on a +2000 underdog and it won. Would you expect them to pay you the $20.000 even if you won it by betting 5x the amount that you actually had?

    I know I would, not sure about the sportsbook though...
