    When do you Know that a Book is screwing with You ?

    This 2nd tier book in CR has cut Sammy's limit per but it seems they have done something else

    The last 3 CBB bets made (trying to make) over Sat & today have changed on the spread , 1/2 pt against , each time 'confirmed' is pressed. Of course Sammy cancels the wager

    How easy can this be done in the software or is this just happenstance ?

    All 3 were rather late... within 2-3 mins of tip-off

    Maybe being paranoid but that is what Sammy is thinking... hard to do a countermeasure because the 'change' is after the second click which is the final one

    happens to me all the time....I cancel wager...then put a small amount on the opposite side....the line never changes on the small bet other side...go back put the big bet on your original team.....it doesn't catch up to it...

    Let me guess...DSI? Sounds exactly what they did to me a few years back. First cut my limits, then starting ghost moving lines a 1/2 point every wager I made. Kept playing them anyway for a little while aware I was selling them a 1/2 every play for free (the season was almost over and didn't want to switch books just for a few more weeks of remaining action), and kept beating them. Then they starting ghost moving the lines a full point. That is when I left. Got the runaround for a while on the last withdrawal that zero's out my balance.
