Well free plays that push at bookmaker are not really pushes afterall!

[playersonly69]

Maybe this will help others not make the same mistake that I made today. Ok, I was stupid to play a free play on a play that had any chance of pushing, I will admit that. Normally I would pick a 2 or 3 team parlay, but I made a mistake in reading the line


But I had seen a line of 10.5 points at another book so when I went to bet under 10.5 points for the first quarter at bookmaker, I bet a $96 freeplay on it. Later I noticed that it was graded and this noticed that it was indeed under 10 points!

Well at bookmaker, a tie is apparently a loss! I wasnt aware of that or obviously I would never have thought about taking a bet that could possibily tie. I know that BetJamaica and I believe betphoenix will refund your freeplay on a tie.

But bookmaker wont do that since I called and asked about this issue! Oh well, maybe my stupidity can help other posters here not make the same mistake.

[Grandmaster B]

good info here

[tltaylor89]

you need to fill out a complaint form

[playersonly69]

Nah, my fault for not reading the rules I guess!


But HOPEFULLY no one else ever makes the same mistake that I did!


I really thought that the line was 10.5, so that was my fault for not checking out the line very closely

[StraitShooter]

Yeah although they have an ok bonus point incentive program..this lame ass rule has been in place for years..on free plays..a tie is a loss..I never could understand it..BetPheonix gives you the free play money back asap after a tie..BetPheonix pays much faster..BetPheonix offers just as many betting options as BookMaker..which has more than the average book

I have always liked BookMaker..But damned if BetPheonix aint creeping up fast

Christmas bonus from BookMaker?..Bah humbug

My favorite book is 5 Dimes..I am gonna reup at two joints this week because I lose every fuken thing I touch this week..Nev and Tenn ML freshest two travesties..for cryin out loud..never even in the damn games

I think I will send the two deposits to 5 Dimes and BetPheonix when I stand in that sucker`s line at the money gram joint tomorrow

[THE PROFIT]

On parlays its pretty common for a tie to kill it. Every place has different rules though.

[LLXC]

I agree - it's a shitty rule...you basically have to buy the hook to be sure. =|

[BurtRapp]

No ties do not kill a parlay anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 For them to take a push should warrant a C grade immediately. How in the phukkin world can they take a push. WHAT A JOKE THIS BOOK IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are willing to take it too???
Advertising dollars go a long way here in grading.

[StraitShooter]

Hey Talyor

I`m not a bonus whore myself anyways

My #1 priority-I want my money..I want my damn money now!

Pheonix-Rebate-5 Dimes and BetAllSports ( wagerstreet division) have paid out pretty damn quick last two weeks

BetJam and Greek solid as a rock too

Bookmaker put me on hold for 2 weeks and acted like they were doing me a favor on a 200 dollar payout

I agree BookMaker, Cris and Diamond one of the few to do this..If not the only ones

I asked Mr shrink to ask Mickey why on the radio show but he avoided the question

[hhsilver]

Thanks for that info....it's hard to believe they would be so petty.

[Reload]

It's been a rule for a long time on their free plays.

[Spanks]

and no christmas bonus...

[playersonly69]

Well they wont be getting any more money from me! Hell I have probably deposited over $15,000 at their book in the last 3 years and took a few payouts but not many.


I have learned my lesson

[exstatman]

I permanently closed my account over this issue.

[playersonly69]

Is DSI associated with bookmaker? I was actually going to open an account with them and deposit next week. But I wont over this shit.

AGAIN, it is my fault! I should have read the rules.

betphoenix and betjamaica are the books to trust

Cris is the parent company.

[sinkhole]

lost my $500 freeplay on a push...

[Stumpage]

This comes from the same family of books that charges hundreds to make a book to book transfer, so I'm not surprised in the least.....

[JoeVig]

That's why I really try to play my FP bets on moneyline games (aware of the odds limits). No ties to worry about.

[blackbart]

stick to parlays with fp

That's what I do as well, Joe. Best way to use free play funds at any book really.

[Philavanh]

Thanks for heads up

[dbnmln]

how's the payouts at bookmaker?

[playersonly69]

Payout generally take around 7 days for a small payout of like $1500. Not sure how long it takes for bigger payouts.


But maybe this will help others not make the same mistake that I did. I wish that I had read a thread like this about 4 days ago

[StraitShooter]

Surprised you did not know this years ago PO

I still like this place..I feel moneys safe there..just certain rules not in players favor

payouts slower than most..but sure

customer service agents have shown un provoked aggression in the past too

[Doug]

You should be doing 3 team parlays or dogs ML with the freeplay, anyway. PO refuses to get the math behind taking long odds on free bets, +600 or so works well enough for me, but don't take -110 stuff.

This x100000. Their CS is bad too. But if you bet openers you don't have much of a choice.

[treece]

Bookmaker is the most overated shop there is.

I agree, mainly for transfer fees, that are too harsh !
