The big deal is if the website said 3 team parlays pay 5-1 than no big deal but clearly stating 6-1 and paying 5-1 is freerolling
This paired with the severe rounding down on payouts shows a deceptive pattern, when a wager pays 100.99 and you get paid 100 you just got took for a dollar.
These are the oldest tricks in the book and it is unacceptable.
You and Mathy can shill all you want for your measly free plays but this is wrong and you both I assumed were hip enough to the game to realize this.

What is the fukkin big deal
I think the big deal is that if they are "all that" and offer 6-1 and round down .95 to 5-1 they are scamming people. He is just sharp enough to catch it.
If that is the case , no matter who it is, it is wrong.

They should upgrade software to cater to $5 bettors
Software a ways back was not designed for all these nickle and dimers looking for pennies
Cris/Bookmaker did rounding for years and years

Yes they should. If they want to except a bet of that size ,they should do the right thing .
The amount should never come into play. The fairness should, IMO.

I think the point is...if parlays are listed as paying 6 to 1, then they SHOULD PAY 6 to 1...not whether you think
parlays are a good play, how much is being wagered, or how much you supposedly are "flashing" in Vegas

Mostly due to the fact that blackie lets you intentionally dump off your balance by taking large underdogs and scalping them at another shop and continue to earn your rebates in exchange for your shilling services.
Just the other day you bashed RW and stated that your limits had been cut ironically Blackie reinstated your limits and you are right back on the shill train
You claim to be an advocate for the player but all you do is shill and try to manipulate the young fools on here to go buy up your offer at MB so you can scalp it.
You know as well as I do that this is shady business going down at RW and I am appalled that you would back this crap for a measly rebate.

Sharpcat, I just went and tested this. I placed a 3-Teamer at -110 lines $10 to win $60. My word might not mean anything to you but I don't have a history of lying to anyone.
For the record I do get compensated for writing a daily blog at RebateWager. Onner would have mentioned this so I want to steal his thunder.

If you don't like the book it's pretty simple. Don't play there. They steal change or don't offer advertised parlay odds then kiss them goodbye. It's not like they are the only option to play.

The point, Pavy, is that people trust SBR's ratings for different sportsbooks. If SBR is indeed rating a book highly that is in essence stealing people's money then something obviously needs to be done.

Well so far I have noticed several posters point out 5-1 odds on 3 teamers and you and Pokernutt who is a known RW shill have pointed out 6-1.
I do not play with RW they do not have much to offer my interests so I can not accurately confirm this myself but I have to lean toward the 5-1 after Blackies confession to the software rounding all bets down to whole dollar amounts. These recent reports are long in between the original reports so it is also possible that RW made a mad scramble to cover up their thievery before anymore damage was done.
I will not discredit your claim but this needs further investigation and until I have solid reason to believe otherwise I am leaning toward the lesser payout.
Regardless the rounding down issue is still theft and even Donald Trump would not be happy to find out that someone was scrapping him for pennies.

I have no beef with Blackie. I mostly play soccer. I asked him last summer during WC why his lines are so shitty for soccer and he said he doesn't care about soccer bettors. So I told him I won't be playing at your book.
It's pretty simple for me. If the book doesn't cater to your needs simply don't play there. Play at the book who caters to your needs.

I think SBR should investigate the complaints and downgrade if needed. Their silence in this matter leads me to believe they don't want to lose a sponsor with fat pockets. So they are basically pressured here to make a call or risk alienating their loyal posters.

I do not either nor do I have an account or anything to do with them or this other than reading what Sharp has to say. From all I see , he is right and no one can refute it.
If that is indeed the case,that is sad.

Important decision here, their fat pocket sponsor may not have such a big wallet for long if they lose the ability to steal from players and lose current players and future players to a scandal.
SBR can only prop a book up for so long if it is scamming its players the prop is hopeless and is bound to fail if the book does not attempt to build a solid foundation.

Nor do I have an account with them but I am very active in seeing this industry regulated and as of now we the players seem to be the only ones who can see to it that uneducated players are not getting scammed.
Scam shops do nothing but cast a dark shadow on the industry.
If a book wants to skim pennies and offer poor odds so be it but at least make it clear to the player that you are skimming off the top and most definately pay the odds that you claim will be paid.
If they are paying 5-1 and are advertising 6-1 they could at least list it as 6 for 1 so that they are only being deceitful and not flat out being dishonest.
It pisses me off to hear of a book especially a rec book dealing with uneducated players pulling scams.

Quit with this Cris and Bookmaker bullshit in every damn thread about this RW issue. It's irrelevant what they did in the past unless they're still doing it today. The whole point with technological advances is that you have the choice to keep up and correct an erroneous practice that may have been deemed acceptable in the past. A book owner also has the choice to not bother because the outdated technology favours him/her or they don't have the funds to update their software platform.
Not everyone on this forum, or those who only pop in for book reviews and never sign up, are big time bettors. Just because they aren't, they shouldn't be subject to having information withheld from them when they're making a decision as to where to deposit their cash.

Apologize for snapping at you Fish but the experienced gamblers here need to look out for the unexperienced guys.
These young guys are already going to lose they do not need a book skimming money from them on top of their losses, you know as well as I do that RW deals with 80-90% square players.
This is wrong I hope RW can straighten this out but it is going to take a long time before I see this book as honorable.

Let's see how Blackie and CO. respond to the two main issues confronting them right now............shortchanging players and the parlay issue.
