Does Rebatewager round all bets down?

[durito]

I made 1.2 million last year from shaving pennies and fixing parlays. Thanks guys.

Good luck getting real players to post up at your exchange you ******* prick.

[BLACKIE]

Shouldn't you be scalping pennies Durito. You still want to meet up in Bogato? I'll be there in December. I stay over in Sonete. We could meet for lunch.

[jjgold]

Classic thread

I might call rebatewager this week and see what is going on

You'll be where?

I live in Medellin. I don't scalp pennies. Sure I make 1/4 of what you do but I can travel where ever I want.

[BLACKIE]

You take shit so seriously Durito. In another forum I recall you said you wanted to meet me next time I was in Bogota the last time I talked about my travels. I'm giving you the opportunity.

[durito]

I'd certainly meet you. December is kind of tough to get away, my parents are visiting and it's my daughters first Christmas.

You should check out Medellin some time.

[BLACKIE]

I may do that. My son is half Colombian. He sees his grandparents for xmas so I usually go for 4 or 5 days. Sonete, maybe spelling it wrong is is the north end of bogato. nice area. has a lot off outdoor bars and cafes spread out over a 4 or 5 block area.

[durito]

Doesn't ring a bell. I like Northern Bogota a lot though. Get there a few times a year.

so is RW gonna stop stealing player funds or what? Haven't been on the forum much and was wondering if this was resolved.

[Bill Dozer]

I hope RW updates the software. They are a book that the $25 guy should feel good about playing with and shouldn't feel like they are paying a $5.00 fee each week after firing in a ton of bets.

In RebateWager's defense and for anyone who hasn't actually used the software... Rounding down the cents is common in the DGS base model. It's been discussed with other books who since changed it but I think a lot of complaints are motivated by the opportunity to get on the stage with Blackie to debate it. Not many book-owners will take part in forumland action.

Each bet shows you the return you get. $26.00$/20.00 at -125. It's not as if it shows you a return of 20.80 cents and doesn't pay it out. It's obvious from the first bet that cents aren't paid and you sign-off on the risk/win when you confirm. Any bettor can use the to-win option instead of to-risk to make sure they get paid to the dollar.

..or don't round the change down like 99% of the books out there do and have the players have to do weird multiplications right before the game starts to try and much the bet to the payout at .00

Just a comment on your final sentence :

Sure , you can specify an exact dollar amount to win , but doing this causes you to possibly lose more than you should if the play loses.

For example: say you want to win 23 at -110 . you should be risking 25.30. to win 23, but based on what I read in this thread they will have you risk 26 ------- so the play is at -113 not -110. I know others have said just play amounts that have integers for both risk and win, but that is not always convenient and it's not something one should have to be concerned about.

[wtt0315]

maybe i will come meet you guys. i will be colombia over christimas. Fiancee is from bogota and her mother lives in cartagena.

I may do that. My son is half Colombian. He sees his grandparents for xmas so I usually go for 4 or 5 days. Sonete, maybe spelling it wrong is is the north end of bogato. nice area. has a lot off outdoor bars and cafes spread out over a 4 or 5 block area.

I won't be playing at RebateWager anytime soon until something is changed.

Looks like you are right. It wouldn't be a work around. I bet an extra 50 cents. STL RAMS +9-125 Risking / To Win: 38.00 USD / 30.00 USD

F u c k i n g thieves. This is not a petty thing. They are stealing hundreds of thousands every year. Give or take

Very good post!

Also sometimes I have literally minutes to place a bet before kickoff before line moves and the last think I want is looking for my calculator to try and match the line to the payout with an integer. It's inconvenient.

[magynuck]

ANYTIME i have ANY problem i go on livechat and act polite and the staff their are absolutely friendly. Of all the books I play at, even pinny, I enjoy playing there the most. I feel like a valued customer.

Definitely not a shill. Blackie has me on a very short leash.

[GamblingMike]

Is anyone else besides me having trouble using their Free Play because the "Use Free Play' box seems to not be appearing any more?

Okay, the "Use Free Play" button is back now.

[Igetp2s]

This thread is pathetic. Rebatewager probably gives back to it's players 10X more than they "steal." They're giving out tens of thousands of dollars in free plays just in contests on this forum, in addition to all their other regular bonuses. Lots of ungrateful morons in this thread over what amounts to chump change.

I've never had an account in any capacity at RW, so I don't have any personal agenda here. I find it outrageous that any book would not pay out at exactly the advertised odds. If you don't want to take small action, fine - do it honestly and set your minimum higher.

[yisman]

The posts by jjgold and mathdotcom in this thread are disgraceful.

[yisman]

Bill, this is not true. You cannot risk cents there either.

If you do to win $10 on a -115 line, you're getting $12 to win $10.

It would be nice if RW would step up to fix this issue instead of having shills like jjgold make a bunch of insulting posts about anyone who doesn't like the idea of a book rounding down every bet.

Is Rebatewager going to resolve this, and if not, will SBR do anything about it?

[BeatTheJerk]

So since they give out so much they think they can take it back. Empty gestures .................

[blackbart]

guess i m not the only one who hates this, all those cents floating around in cyberspace

[Sam Odom]

Time to move on... Blackie is small potatoes in the grand theme of offshore biz and if you play with him now you know 'whats up'

[BLACKIE]

Compared to the rest of the shops up top I probably am small potatoes Sam but what have you ever accomplished with your life? Let me answer that one for you. Nothing.......

When are you seeing cents, after you make the play? I went and punched in 5 on that same line and 6 to win 5

[Doug]

My balance showed cents so I made that test bet ( not confirmed). I went back a few minutes later and no cents showed.

I guess they are working on it because it was there for a minute.

[TWEETS]

If they get it fixed this week, I will be impressed. Not many books that respond to issues.
