Does Rebatewager round all bets down?

**BigDaddy** · 10-13-10, 04:43 PM

$10 Free play is another example

-150
+120

paid out $26

real payout is $26.67

so if rounding up it would be $27

again i never noticed they did that until i saw the above thread here at SBR and just inquired about it.

Yes i dont use them as a book i use others that don't seem to pull stunts like these.

Just because i don't use them for deposits how does that exclude me from playing the contest that is advertised at SBR as free?

I wont kiss Blackies ASS.

**Boscoe** · 10-13-10, 04:44 PM

wow...that sucks. good to know.

**Naz18** · 10-13-10, 04:48 PM

JJ get to the bottom of this

**BigDaddy** · 10-13-10, 04:52 PM

I expect Blackie to come in here and smear me as that is his only MO.

He will deflect this situation with another subject or use something i said in the past against me that has nothing to do with the above complaint.

**sideloaded** · 10-13-10, 05:02 PM

Rebate Wager is a scam shop. Simple.

**Ninersnut** · 10-13-10, 05:08 PM

Only instance they round up is the 4 dollar free play I won in Blackies contest. They rounded that bitch up to 10. Maybe they are using all your cents to round up peoples free plays

Hi BD,

We're following up with RebateWager & asking for the rundown of how the rounding works. Another player has commented in the other thread that the software actually keeps track of the change and the balance updates anytime the change increases to +$1.

**RonPaul2008** · 10-13-10, 05:23 PM

It is lame...but...if you like the book otherwise then just play TO WIN in multiples of $1 and there is nothing to round.

**HedgeHog** · 10-13-10, 05:39 PM

This is one way Blackie makes his money, shaving pennies off small time players. Do it enough and you'll be surprised how much it adds up. RW is a joke.

**Peep** · 10-13-10, 05:43 PM

Good post, thanks for the heads up.

**yisman** · 10-13-10, 05:49 PM

I don't think most of the customer service people know about the specifics of the rounding, because they don't seem well-equipped for these questions.

Hopefully Blackie or another RW higher-up (?) can clarify exactly how this works.

**Fishhead** · 10-13-10, 06:01 PM

RW has cut my limits in half............(as if they were a lot anyways at $500).

They also been late putting up numbers.

The freeplays won in the BLACKIE contest cannot be used on underdog moneylines.

Cents rounded down???....geesh.

RW will in all liklihood be dropping in the next addition of the FH USA RANKINGS.

**forsberg21** · 10-13-10, 06:07 PM

I didn't see it in the chat, but did they actually close your account over this?!?

I had a highly publicized incident with them a few months ago:

SBR Forum - Sports Betting Talk - Sportsbook Review Forum

http://forum.sbrforum.com/sportsbooks-industry/622337-warning-canadians-about-rebate-wager-problems-withdrawals.html

Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.

Blackie closed my account and called me a liar, even though all of the chat transcripts are there which proves there was one liar and it wasn't me.

I can't possibly fathom how their software can't take into account cents, that's just ludicrous. They have this highly developed system in place to display odds, accept wagers, process payouts, but their software can't do grade 2 math? I don't buy it. Just stay away from this book, plain and simple.

**tltaylor89** · 10-13-10, 06:09 PM

Not alot of options their.I noticed that as well this needs to be investigated.

Lou

i cant access my account but i can assure you that is not the case as my balance never updated in that fashion or i would have noticed it.

what do you think about them closing my account just because i only used free money from SBR contests?

so i take it if you use contest money you can't ask the book any legit questions?

that is nice to know.

Keep in mind though, I'm a shill for SBR and all their sponsors according to some.....

.

its not in the chat and i didn't know they closed it until i tried to log in to prove to RW's #1 shill http://forum.sbrforum.com/sportsbook...bets-down.html

post #22 in the thread i linked

that indeed they do not round up

so i was going to log in and copy and paste a wager to prove it to him.

then i found out it was closed as a pop up came up saying call CS service so i did and he explained it was because i complained and that i only used free money from SBR and to take my business elsewhere

**tltaylor89** · 10-13-10, 06:17 PM

Everyone should get $100 FP for this rounding gate scandel.

**tltaylor89** · 10-13-10, 06:19 PM

Whoever closed his account should be fired first and foremost plenty of other cheap customer service reps waiting in the wings.How can they argue because he uses free money when Blackie sponsored the damn contest.

**BigDaddy** · 10-13-10, 06:21 PM

i was told the decision to close the account came from the GM

so i take it Blackie made the call.

no CS rep to blame

I think those people have a point. You do tend to shill a lot, although you're not a Rebatewager shill.

Citing your not shilling for rebatewager as proof you don't shill at all is not very convincing. It just means you have no incentive to promote RW, unlike jjgold.

**pavyracer** · 10-13-10, 06:22 PM

Don't bet at books who have active shills in forums.

That's unreal, they closed your account because inquired about your wagers getting rounded down.

They closed my account because I wasn't a "recreational" player.

**jjgold** · 10-13-10, 06:25 PM

Bookmaker and many other books rounded off for years, nothing to do with book

Its a software issue and too correct it requires a major overhaul

**tltaylor89** · 10-13-10, 06:26 PM

I think this needs to be investigated by the moderation staff by theres more behind this.

**tltaylor89** · 10-13-10, 06:27 PM

Fishhead is a Heritage SHILL Not a Rebatewager Shill he may not be a shill at all just a bonus WHORE>

**Dad** · 10-13-10, 06:27 PM

They closed your account over $2.53?

unreal.

**tltaylor89** · 10-13-10, 06:27 PM

Tell the truth FIshhead you like sucking on those big bonus cocks.

**Fishhead** · 10-13-10, 06:33 PM

HUH?

I openly admit to being a huge bonus whore as well as contest whore....BIG DEAL....everyone should be.

Yisman, I was a contest/bonus whore before your were out of the 3rd grade........get a clue pal.

Never a schill, I just tell it like it is.........for crying out loud Yishead, cook some hamNeggs and enjoy the game this evening with an ice cold Blatz beer.

How do you let us get your panties in a bunch FH?

**RonPaul2008** · 10-13-10, 06:36 PM

Fishhead is a good guy....even if he overrates Iowa football immensely

**jjgold** · 10-13-10, 06:36 PM

Almost all books rounded off when they first came on board, they were all local books that went offshore and local books never dealt with cents, the euro books were the ones that always went to the penny, as the years went on many books did go to the penny but as of this day old school books like rebatewager kept it the old way of booking.

I would like to see rebatewager change and go to the penny, I beleive Bookmaker did a few years ago but it is hard when your an old school bookmaker to deal in cents

RW is slipping a tad JJ...........admit this.

You don't have to, but this will show in the upcoming addition of the FH USA RANKINGS.........by how much?.........stay tuned.

They are still a very good book to have for many here..........
