    More Cascade B.S.
    NJ/Toronto over wager form last night, game is completed about 10 pm. Now it is 12:45 eastern, and the game is still showing as pending. I was finally able to reach a customer service rep who told me they are having computer glitches and i'll just have to wait. I asked if it could be manually graded, due to it being a significant amount of money that i'd like to wager with at 1:00. No dice. Damn I wish i did not have any money there, and i know i'll probably never see it again, but the aggravation sucks.

    Why even bother with Cascade? I thought they weren't paying anyway.

        Yeah, I hear you but why not use another book? Your winnings might go to waste.

              Makes no sense to even waste your time betting there when they clearly are not paying. Best case senerio is that you lose all your money and make any payout a moot point.

                I wouldn't try to build it any higher, when getting paid is so iffy, If I really liked the bet,I'd bet it elsewhere.

                    why not try scalping (even at a loss) to get your money out. Play a big favorite on the ml somewhere else, the the dog at cascade. I know you risk building up your balance there, but if you have enough $ somewhere else you could keep doing it till you get your money out. Even if you only end up with .60-.80 cents on the $, that's a shitload better than 0.

                      If you assume that your chance of being paid is near zero, then attempting to scalp out is no different than making a bunch of large one-sided money-line wagers for no apparent reason.

                        then if he keeps winning one sided at Cascade, he'll be in a bigger hole

                            This is one of the most curious threads ever, as even the thread starter knows his question is completely moot. What does it matter what you do or don't build up when you are 100% aware you aren't going to get paid? You're playing with "play money," and any bets elsewhere are not "hedge" bets as your actual payable at assets at cascade are "0."

                              whats the point of grading wagers if you aren't going to pay them. don't waste your time.
