This is my last post here. Once again for any depositing RW member please email me through the lounge if you feel you have been effected by the software. We will credit you twice the amount that you have been shorted on the wager valleys effected by this.

nothing like getting to pay half of what you really owe

why not send out a mass email to all of your clients informing them of this?

Don't forget my name Blackie! When you're looking back at why Wager Rebate failed I want you to remember this day.

Funny stuff right there!

[SoCalFisher]

They do not round down are up , the change is just hidden. Still there and will show up next time anything is added that puts it over a dollar.

Why would anything be hidden? It's your account.
Crazy.

[BigDaddy]

This is likely what's happening. We'll find out. If anyone was getting short end of stick due to an error RW will make it right.

Bill not just anyone only depositing players will get whats owed to them.

that was said by blackie himself.

Blackie said contest whores don't count yet he sponsors a free contest at SBR

do you have anything to say about that?

[Extra Innings]

I started playing in the NFL contest and got some fp money.

I tried to bet once, but it wasn't eligible for freeplay betting.

Then another day I see texas/tb over -120, so I bet $12 on that through live chat

then for my second bet I want to bet Twins +168. I bet $5 and it says to win $8.

I go into chat and they say everything is rounded up or down.

I find that's not the case, so I start a thread.

Good Work Yizzer

This thread has been fascinating to read. Personally, I love it when Blackie posts. He's like a mental patient but in a good way. He's supposed to be "professional" but then he can't help himself when he gets angry. I feel like I should pay a cover charge to read this soap opera.

Look, here it is. If the software coding was a premeditated, calculated decision on Blackie's part, then I will grant you there's some rather low grade larceny going on. But nobody here can opine, with 100% certainty that this is the case. It could very easily have been a programmer's decision to round down without ever conferring with the powers that be. Either opinion is equally as valid but neither is absolute.

Secondly, although you may take umbrage at Blackie's demeanor and delivery, you cannot dismiss the fact that his business is being assailed and the reputation he has cultivated as well. Please don't make the argument that RW's reputation is nefarious because it is not. It is by almost all accounts, including the industry watchdog SBR, a top rated book. It is easy to take him to task because of his heavy handed approach but I doubt many of you criticizing would be the model of decorum if you yourself were the target of the same venom and vitriol.

Lastly, I believe, and trust me I have no dog in this fight, that the goodwill Blackie has engendered at SBR vis a vis the contests, promotions, etc. should, at the very least, give him a pass on this relatively minor faux pas. My only suggestion would be that RW, in the interests of full disclosure, alert all players that their wagers will be rounded down in the event there is a fraction as a result of their payoff. No need to reprogram the entire system simply convey that arithmetical nuance to the clientele and then each individual customer can decide if that is a tolerable policy. This is an easy fix but thank you all for the drama!

it could well be that the software just doesn't display the cents but nevertheless they do accumulate to your balance

surely someone who plays there has kept a record of all bets and can confirm or deny that their balance is correct?

The horse book does for sure (accumulate), but I'm unsure of the sportbook doing the same.

I will test it out over the next couple of days.

I just lost a chance to bet Arizona because I was trying to figure out a way to not get screwed by the rounding.

It's extremely simple. Bet to win instead of to risk. Problem solved.

Will it not let you play a -115 to win $10? They do have the option to do by risk or win right?

[jjgold]

The rounding has always been there, Bookmaker did if for at least 5 years or so as well as many other books and only way to cure it is changing software which is not easy

I bet the right amounts to avoid the rounding so no issue

I don't think this will help. It won't let you risk 11.50 . If you choose to win 10 , assuming you have that choice ( can't remember right now) , I think it would make you risk 12 - not 11.50.

[Boner_18]

Is SBR gonna let this thread fly uncensored with player information in it?

[Fishhead]

If my own sister buys me a $540 three-piece suit for my birthday and two months later comes over to my house and takes $17.34 out of my change dish, I would not be a happy camper and ask her WTF she thinks she was doing.

[Richkas]

Blackie if you dont like broke contest whores like myself then you shouldnt have the contests. But to sit there and slam people because they are not a SBR Pro is wrong.

Being a software guy, the excuse for "poor software" not being able to handle cents on the dollar is laughable at best.

Did the owners code this up while drunk and half asleep?

[Slim]

Blackie no where to be found.

[Mudcat]

I don't care if they round down the change. They can have it.

[BLACKIE]

Our software is catered to the credit business where guys don't wager in single dollar increments and our minimum bet is $100. We never had an issue with this until the recent contest with SBR with guys betting freeplay in small values and single dollar increments so in order to fix this we will be implementing the following wagering choices effective this Monday. Minumim wager $50, no dollar increments for contests and new members. If you don't care abount the pennies then you will be able to keep your existing limits. We will work with our existing members to make sure trhat they are credited for any money that they have been shorted by the software. We have very few members that bet less then $50 and wager in single $ increments so I don't think this will be an issue in the future.

So it's ok for sam to slam me on a personal level but I should bite my tounge? If some punk talked shit to you in a bar Richie what would you do?

Act the part. Float above the little sh*t; like a casino owner. Leave the quarrels to bouncers. You make yourself look smalltime by replying to smalltime complaints. One answer would have been fine, but you got drawn in.

GL with the model. I hope you can make it a little more flexible in the future, with at least low juice.

[BLACKIE]

As much as I try it's not in my nature. I put a lot of personal time and effort into our sponsorship of this forum and when I constantly get bashed by the same group of posters that have never actually deposited or played with their own money it pisses me off. You never see members complaining it's just the same group of floaters and freeloaders that have nothing better to do with their time. As far as the vig I'm hoping to give everyone a sneak peek of the exchange next week.

[wrongturn]

Change software to make it calculate the cents is a long term solution, or at least round both up and down if that is simple to do.
