Just made $20 on a very bad line

[Arnold]

what i think is you could have bet and still got the $20 for being honest....either way good job boss

I would get absolutely nothing if I would have bet this over. It's common sense. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't pay someone $20 for cheating me.

[Wyndham]

Wow

That about sums it up.

[Stumpage]

So I guess if pinnacle drives you out...you will never find another quality sportbook....everyone better get to pinnacle right now because they are the only quality sportsbook out there!

To quote Cobra, "wow".....I honestly don't know how to communicate with somebody who is so obviously in the grip of one of the most debilitating "Stupid Attacks" in recorded history.

I believe SBR's resident clown has his wig strapped on a bit too tight this time around.....

Pinnacle will let you keep a bet on a bad line.

They will cancel your account afterwards.

I can't think of a bet with a big enough limit that would be that far off that i'd trade my account for it.

Not a billionaire. What I do know is that why bother gambling if the amount bet doesn't flutter your heart or at least get some kind of juices flowing?? I know that there is no human over 18 that bets 5.00 and feels that rush we get from gambling. Why bother? Play lotto or something. No disrespect to you, your probably a cool dude but it's just a fact.

I'm happy to win my $5 bets. I don't wager more because this is something I'm comfortable with losing and I don't have to worry about getting my legs chopped off. It is also a 2% of my bankroll. If I was a proven 54%+ player, then of course I would play hundreds per bet. What's the point of wagering so much if you can't win? A lot of people rush to gamble and throw their money away. Why not take a wiser approach? Play it safe until you learn and become successful, then go out at it full force. Patience and persistence is the name of the game. I'm also 25 with a decent job, if that interests you.

I wouldn't want to lose my Pinnacle account. The only other option is Matchbook. Other "A" books don't have such attractive odds and that matters a lot to me.

Pinnacle is a solid book they also get their lines up fast too

Disagree ... what you just stated is that your unstable ... having a rush at a certain game not necessarily do u need money involved in it ... just by watching it you get 100s of ppl cheering for the love of the game .... others (like u) get a rush having hundreds of $$ in a specific game .... if u cant see the difference ... then again I stand with the fact that you must be unstable. No disrespect intended

[jjgold]

Compactor and I almost got a book for a 20,000 parlay that was graded wrong, the clerk almost sent money and it would of been ours 6 years ago. We were clever but not quick enough. If you need money to gamble you will take shots at books. I look everyday to take shots at them with bad lines.

[Shark79]

Against All Odds are you saying your a shot taker?

I hate those dudes!!

A bad line is very frequent to find ... however ... a bad line like the one mentioned ... is an OBVIOUS fvk up ... If you wager on a respected book (like Pinny) would u give up ur account for a $5 parlay?

Ur shot is completely different than the one posted here.

[jjgold]

Books got enough of my money so I figure taken shots is my right if they are not on the ball

both you jerks are a dime dozen no wonder you went broke JJ
no honor , no dignity

[BurtRapp]

I don't think I'm unstable I'm just realistic that most people wouldn't care about teams that they don't root for unless there is gambling. To think anyone is doing anything for the love of the game anymore in this society is Ni eve.

Stumpage,

When did you move to New York??

Stumpage,

You're one step away from becoming a thief. Would you give someone's wallet back if you ever find one?

No one forced you to lose. It was your own choice. Lets say you were awesome and made hundreds of thousands of dollars betting sports. Would it be fair for a book to steal your money just 'cause they think you already won enough?

[Stumpage]

Stumpage,

When did you move to New York??

I can't recall doing so, but I guess that's it for me and the Red Sox.....

[beetman]

I've told books including major ones like TheGreek, Pinnacle, etc. about obvious line errors (usually flipflopped lines) and I've never received a thing other than the occasional "thank you." I'm beginning to think these "bad line rewards" are like the tooth fairy!

[BurtRapp]

Bare minimum I want the equivalent of an average size bet for me. If not I would never tell them about an error again.

[treece]

it doesnt matter if you drive someone away...there are 100 more sportsbooks out there!

BTW what sportsbook did you manage? was it wewentbrokebecauseourmanagersucked.com

best dotcom since beatthepecker.com.

[Immortality]

I saw today at Pinnacle the over/under parlay line for Raptors/Warriors game was at 22.5 (should have been 222). At first I thought I should take it, but then I tried to stay within reality and accept the fact, that they will simply cancel my bet sooner or later. So I emailed them to notify about the mistake. 5 minutes later the line was corrected. 10 minutes later they gave me a $20 credit And that's not too bad for me, because I only wager $5 per bet.

PS. I know there was a similar thread from a few days ago about how someone notified a book about an obvious line error, but I searched for it and couldn't find it.

Nice going Arnold. It was my thread a few days ago where I saw a line off by -600 and told 5Dimes about it. I did the same thing as you.

Nothing wrong with the 5 dollar a game guy. If it gets you into it more so be it.

If you want to talk about how good the life was 6 years ago. Thats like saying your a has been stfu and do something Today. This isn't a world where you look back and talk about how good things use to be. The only guys who do that are washed up scrubs that haven't done anything lately.

You want to take shots at books and then watch the book keep your bet for breaking some TOS, and then you'll be on here filing some complaint about how wronged you were...

And what is your average bet size?

$5 bets are just fine for now. I'm up $64 today with Tor/GS game left (GS & Over). Even if I lose both bets, it's still a nice profit considering I only wager $5. It's almost $100 in one day with the $20 I got from Pinnacle. Also won $47 yesterday. I'm happy about it and it's better than flushing down the toilet your entire tax refund.

And Pinnacle has it clearly stated in their rules, that they have the right to cancel bets on any obvious bad line. A book can go broke in 1 day if they keep honoring such bets.
