    Shams: I did read this under SB's rules & regs.

    Sporting Events
    Las Vegas rules, regulations, payoffs and wager types apply where not covered herein.

    All sporting events must be played on date and site scheduled unless otherwise specified. Sporting events postponed by more than 12 hours and or rescheduled, will constitute "No Action", and all money will be credited accordingly.

    All bets must be made and accepted, before the start of the game/event wagered upon. Any bet placed or received after the start of the game/event wagered upon, will be void.

    Management reserves the right to limit the maximum amount wagered, prior to acceptance of any bet. Customers are not permitted to open multiple accounts in order to circumvent the limits imposed by our wagering system. If multiple accounts are used then all bets will be void.

    In the event that monies are credited to a customer's account in error, it is incumbent upon the customer to notify Sportsbook of the aforesaid error without delay. Any winnings realized after the error, whether directly or indirectly subsequent to the error but prior to notification of Sportsbook, shall be void.

    Sportsbook does not recognize suspended games, protests, scoring amendments, result reversals and overturned decisions for wagering purposes.

    In order for a bet to be valid, a customer must receive a bet identification number confirming from Sportsbook that the bet has been accepted. This number appears via a confirmation message that will appear on your betting ticket.

    Accepted bets cannot be cancelled or amended in any way, either by the customer or by Management.

    Every effort will be made to ensure that all information available on the Internet site is accurate. However, if an error is made in the prices or conditions published on-line, we reserve the right to correct any mistakes or to settle any bets already laid at the correct price.

          Shams:

          The lines in the parlays were not in error, so the bets should stand. No mistaken prices either (not sure why you bolded that). The part I bolded about Accepted Bets Can't Be Changed by either party goes directly to the matter at hand, yet you refuse to see it. Who's doing selective reading now?

            YOU ARE!!!! I took out all the other stuff except your statement and the ones I bolded.. I left it there to let you know I am aware of it...

            I have had your statement explained to me so I know it well.. I put in the wrong side (03') one time and called them to ask if I can cancel that one even though it was my fault and they said the system does not allow CS reps/manag. access to change the bet... I guess the people that grade have that access... Can they be bullsh*tting.. yeah I guess but that's what the rule is for although I think it can be more clear... MyBookie cancelled one for me as the same thing happen...

            Also you asked why did I bold the statement and you mentioned prices but I guess you stopped reading there because right after that it says OR CONDITIONS PUBLISHED ON-LINE... or didn't I make that big enough for you..?

            Now granted that could be like the word "terrorism" to the goverments.. It can be damn near anything... They should make that clearer... I have seen that in other sportsbooks T&A and wondered why they don't make that clearer...but whatever

                Costa Rica needs to step up and do something about these theft cases and Cascade.

                Google needs to be made aware that sportsbook.com is turning into a scam.

                  I added a thread on covers about how they should shut down the Sportsbook advertising immediately.

                  covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=33&sub=761149


                  I posted in the College Football forum knowing it be deleted, but hope to get a good response before they get rid of it.

                  Also posted in the Gaming Industry forum of it.


                  Hope it works.

                    Thanks, Brian. Hope you don't mind me doing a cut and paste for everyone to see here:

                    Posted: 10/18/2007 12:59:37 PMI probably will be banned or to the Penalty Box.


                    But it has to be known.

                    Then again, I must stop posting (except for this kind of thing) until sportsbook is removed as an advertiser.



                    The T.O.S. on the sportsbook.com website says this:

                    "Accepted bets cannot be cancelled or amended in any way, either by the customer or by Management. "


                    How do you confiscate winnings going all the way back to September 1st then?

                    They aren't following their own rules.

                    And are obviously struggling with the money side which is why they confiscated all this money.

                        Yes, just like Sportsbook.com, MySportsbook.com is a Jazette Enterprises property.

                            I care. I'd like to get my 9k back. I care about myself too, but I'd also like to see everyone recover from their theft. Why don't you just go back to double touting, there's another big football game on tonite (LV/Con). Choose "Con" as it's so appropriate.

                              Hedge it was your own fault to play with a bad book like that

                              I was one of 1st 5 Americans at Interops way back so I am the pioneer of online sportsbetting, no one can touch me and that is why I never got stiffed once because I am smart.

                              You fukked up period

                                I thought you said yesterday that the Shrink stiffed you for $400. I seem to recall a racist rant involved in the thread.

                                  Yes Shrink stiffed me $400 and he used it on cocaine

                                  I am ticked off, but I did not loan him money


                                  I was paid to create ghosts and promised $400, this is different than playing at a bad book.

                                        Sportsbook.com dispute latest discussion updates

                                        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                        Sportsbook.com says they will refund losing correlated parlay wagers during the same period. They are going to send us a notice asking affected players to contact them.

                                        SBR has made it clear that this is not an acceptable conclusion. The only reason they are trying to apply a rule that essentially does not exist is because there were some large parlay winners since the beginning of football. Had most players lost hundreds of thousands, this thread would not exist.

                                        We will continue to push and try to illustrate how bad this decision will be for their business.
