    Finally, a online mistake goes my way

    Something like this ever happen to you?

    My wife and I out to brunch earlier this morning for my sister in laws 50th birthday.
    We finish eating, and we get into family and other chit-chat, we leave later than we thought we would.
    Get to the car, and realize it's 12:45

    Been in love with Bumgarner run line all day.
    I'm half hour from home, 1:00 start.

    Pull out smart phone, pull up the app, bang in SF -1.5 +150, type in password, hit enter. Bet cancelled.
    So I thought I hit cancel by mistake, I don't really use smart phone for online bets, thought it was my bad.

    Tried a second time, same thing, comes back bet cancelled.

    Tried one more time, got it in.

    Then I get home, check out the late games, look at my balance, it's consinderly less than it should be.
    I'm like "WTF"

    Check out pending wagers, I got SF run line on three seperate bets.

    I have no idea why the bets registered as taken, when the screen on my phone said cancelled.
    If I call Tony, he's just going to tell me "sorry Billy, nothing I can do, the game left already".

    So, I said to myself, you loved Bummy, just accept it, if it wins, you just win 3x more than you expected.

    Long story short (or is it too late for that)

    SF 7
    NY 0

    8th inning

    Yeah happens to me.. but the other way around..

    I like a team..

    I bet... browser times out..

    Bet again... Get the 404 error..

    Bet again...

    Next thing you know, your team is down 5-0

    You say no big deal..

    Then you check and you lost 3x your normal amount....

    Haha good story, it was only 7-0 for a second though when Bumgarner touched the plate ahead of Posey on his 2 R HR.

    Haha, nice hit. I managed to bet on a random soccer game when trying to bet on a World Cup group stage match on my phone. Still don't know how that happened. Smartphones and bet placements aren't a good idea. And I lost the bet.

    Which is why I don't like to make smart phone wagers.

    Considering it is tony, you will have your account closed soon saying that you knew it was bet 3 times due to the cancellations and that you were free rolling him and going to complain if it lost.

    I'm not kidding. This is possible. Be aware.

    Jeff, I have known Tony a long time, he would not do that.
    He knows, I know, and anybody with a brain knows smart phones don't act like computers, and will malfunction like that.
    Sorry Tony nailed you for something you did, (I'm guessing you took a pot shot) 5D is the most ethical online book out there

    What Tony screwed me on can not even possibly be blamed on me. I was not involved in the slightest. But I won't go into depth here. This is the same guy that has made vague threats to killing players or sending goons to their house. Come on. He doesn't think before speaking on chat.

    Steve I'm glad you've had a good experience with 5dimes

    Make no mistake though, if there is some controversy or discrepancy and his money is at stake he isn't so cordial

    He fukked up a grading on an All-Star prop a few years ago.
    I (nicely) pointed out where he was wrong, and actually said "my bad" and paid off

    Probably depends on the size of the cake we're talking about.
