Only thing I'd say is that it's part of the cat-and-mouse game. You get in and get out. If anything, stick it to this asshole JasonR for saying that.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

#5Brocky, one more comment on this:
*The ID thing is really bullshit. When a clerk READS the line rundown...that is effectively a CONTRACT OFFER.
Same thing with the # on the board. If player says he wants selection 2103 for $1000...book is expected to honor that line quote.
Moving off a number b/c of THAT PARTICULAR BET is a bullshit move. Effectively, book is saying that the line is saying that the #s on the board are variable and at their discretion.
Brocky, you should cross-rough these MFers. Go in for a big bet, watch them move the #. Cancel your bet...and have your body go in for the hammer on the other side.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

#10Kambi books also do some bullshit. If you’re limited they’ll give you a few options. Say I try to bet 5k on a moneyline, my options would be something like:
1. Place bet at my limit $500
2. Place bet of $500 and send $4500 for approval
3. Send full $5000 for approval
Here’s where it gets strange. If you choose options 2 or 3 they place the bet for you at any amount they want below what you sent for approval. I’ve had times where I chose option 3 and they placed my bet for $95 and told me I could no longer get even the original $500 limit amount down.Comment -

Been saying no regulation is far better then the UK style of regulation for years.
BetRegal sure sound like a rotten piece of work with that move though. That is just outright stealing that even their self written (no approval process) terms could not justify..Comment -

#16Do these fuktard CEOs not see its a volume based business. By the fuk, Pinnacle has been operating for what 30 years of the volume. Hence when they offer -108 lines they get the volume and don't "bet" on a side ir the outcome.
Adjusting lines or vig is how the book balances. They Wall Street assclowns shit their silk sheets when they hear they lost 100k to a player. That's all they think of is that one "Motherfuker beat us, close his account immediately and withhold his funds for a while...fuk him." They don't see the other side losing plays that make their profits.
Basis if the business is quantified risk management of line and vig.

#21I think you guys just like to bitch. Maybe you like dealing with Bitcoin, etc and getting raped with Bovada's live lines of -160 and +120 etc.
Idk? I grew to hate the offshores. I'd beat 5Dimes for $4-5K and the MFers would only give me $450 a week thru mone y gram and I had to drive to Walmart and waste an hour each week.
I'm a smaller player, but I've beat MGM and DK for 2 years now and never had an issue. Of course they get it back sometimes too. I made about $2500 on DK recently in about 3 weeks. Ran up the initial deposit and took a few bad beats and threw the balance of $790 or whatever on Dallas/Phoenix Over and hit. I've been hitting their Single Game Parlay boosts since early April in mlb. They just gave me 10 profit boosts of 25% for $100 max for the Memorial Day weekend. No offshore ever gave me shit past the new customer stage. Goddamn Bovada charged me 5-6% on my credit card even. Offshores suck
MGM gave me $30 free play for the SB and I hit a 20-1 prop for $600. 1x rollover and it was mine
Not to mention if you have apps available in your state then you should have brick-n-mortar sportsbooks too. Go bet big over there if you have to.Last edited by Fred The Hammer; 06-02-22, 12:33 PM.Comment -

#27I was playing Bodog back in the poker boom in 2004. I'd withdrawal $1500 out of $2500 and they'd give me 10% 4 days later on whatever I wanted to deposit. It was like that for 2 years atleast. A $10K guaranteed poker tourney would only have $8k paid in? They were paying me to play night after night. Compare that to charging your credit card 5% now. Its ridiculous. F them
You play a tourney now and they'll pay out 200 people out of 500 (participation trophy mindset) so come in 6th in a $10k tourney and you can't even fill up your gas tankComment -

until proven conclusively to me that I am wrong, and that might happen, I will continue believing in USA regulated books. I believe this example which is complete robbery happened on an unregulated BetRegal shop.Comment -

#33Nope.
BetRegal actually have an Ontario license.
And it is starting to look like Ontario regulation is no better than the wild west.
Betregal also have a welcome bonus with 20x or 30x rollover attached. Mainstream regulators do not allow that. Forcing people to play more than they want. It's why you rarely see more than 3x anywhere regulated, and mostly just 1x for AML reasons only.
So far, USA regulators have been better than world average I think. Just hope it stays that way..Comment -

It is important to point out that BetRegal is not yet regulated in Ontario.Comment -

#35Oh, missed that line. And thought they were, or had applied.
The "yet" is intriguing then. What sort of regulator would approve a bookmaker previously operating unlicensed in their jurisdiction?
Ontario seems like a hot mess..Comment
