RebateWager Exchange: $1,000 Beta Contest for Conference Tournaments

**ThaddeusB** · 03-10-11, 06:35 PM

Air Force/UNLV spread is not working properly. Instead of opening, it generates an "Error on page." message.

Although the line was properly posted the market was never actually opened for trading.

It's open now.

I'm sure I won't have to worry about contest winnings, but I thought I'd ask for everyone involved,

I didn't sign up as "RudyRuetigger" on the site and as far as I know didn't link the name at the exchange with either my SBR name or my rebate wager account.. did i miss something to connect them? or how do you know who/how to pay out winners?

**dikefale** · 03-10-11, 08:26 PM

Anyone willing to accept 20000,30000,40000 wager on Louisville -140 to -150?

**xxx** · 03-10-11, 09:52 PM

I took all the action there was on oklahoma state this afternoon almost won, I would of taken your action too.

**ThaddeusB** · 03-10-11, 10:44 PM

Tomorrow's games are showing up, but they don't have any line's attached to them. I realize many don't even have lines in vegas yet, but if you are going to make they appear you could at least put a ML up (i.e. PK).

**secretstash** · 03-10-11, 11:05 PM

Yeah, we had to restart the application server process 3 times over the past 30 minutes.

We didn't realize it would log anybody out, although afer glancing at the sever logs it looks like it did ...

Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Yes, a known issue that just recently started occurring.

Gracias.

**secretstash** · 03-11-11, 12:54 AM

can the games get graded much faster if possible? I have money tied up in games and they take hours to grade. an example is the louiville game still hasnt been graded so we can see standings.

thanks

how could we tell whose in this from sbr?

**azn624** · 03-11-11, 02:18 AM

or is it everyone

**brumbies** · 03-11-11, 04:27 AM

damn I thought I got a great wager in OKstate +14.5 +210. Turns out the spread was actually a PK. Why was it a PK in the first place?

Here's how it currently works:

The software periodically scans {a line provider's** service for any game lines within the relevant league.
If it doesn't find any posted line for that game, it will simply post a money line.
If another line for that game is subsequently posted, it's up to a staff member to manually add the new line.

However ... within the next few hours the entire process will be automated. As new lines are released, they'll be posted on the exchange without human interaction.

I should also note that as long as you're willing to add liquidity to a the market for an alternate line, we'll generally have no problem posting it for you. At some point in the near future, certain "trusted" players may in limited cases have the ability to add alternate line markets without prior approval.

**dikefale** · 03-11-11, 06:42 AM

Imo you need to put sides/totals and PK for every game...

**secretstash** · 03-11-11, 09:15 AM

When is the official close of this contest?

And more importantly...when will all lines be up for big conferences..no big east no big ten no sec. Etc

Lines are posted as they start to appear on Don Best.

Games without posted DB spreads will be initially hung as MLs and filled in later.

Effectively immediately, we'll be opening additional spread and total markets in response to changes in widely available numbers.

**mugsey15** · 03-11-11, 10:22 AM

Well made a big move yesterday with Colorado and would of been more significant if st john would of won. Should be fun the next couple days. I've really enjoyed my first experience with an exchange. Thanks please let me know when next testing of system runs

**jwbama23** · 03-11-11, 10:31 AM

May have already been answered but why is the SEC and Big 10 not available?

**THEGREAT30** · 03-11-11, 11:27 AM

The software works okay but everything else and the way it has been run leaves a lot to be desired. I like the fact that Blackie offers the DC but damn everytime I seriously think about trying them out with something to lose I once again see traces of them being way to amateur for my liking

**secretstash** · 03-11-11, 12:38 PM

So the contest ends Saturday? Right?

Based on the conference tournaments available

**MJAngler** · 03-11-11, 02:27 PM

One problem I'm having is that it is hard to get from where you enter the odds to where you enter the amount. I usually have to click on the "Risking" window 3 times before I can enter an amount.

I have that same problem also.

It looks like the A-10 tourny runs until Sunday.

**saintjames** · 03-11-11, 02:57 PM

this contest has more holes than swiss cheese or the ny giants secondary

**pokernut9999** · 03-11-11, 03:01 PM

I know they are trying to work the kinks out but to leave out some of the tourneys is bad,
plus my winning wagers never got graded yesterday so it was just a couple of bets and over for the day.

Would have been nice to be able to place a few more wagers, oh well.

**Dark Horse** · 03-11-11, 05:08 PM

This is by no means important, but since we have the rather unique situation of feedback being heard and implemented, I'm just wondering if there could be different color schemes available in the future. It's subtle, and I understand if people would laugh at this, but sometimes you may just feel like a new vibe, to trick your mind into a fresh new start.

**secretstash** · 03-11-11, 05:08 PM

definitely the liquidity has died in this contest :|

it is hard as hell to get something bought now.

If you move your mouse while the window is opening, it goes away. I reported this bug on the first day and it has improved some, but definitely is still there.

The format encouraged people to go all-in every bet. As such, for a substantial portion of bets one participant left the contest entirely. From what I saw, less than 200 signed up and probably half of those didn't place a bet. As such, I am suggesting a different format for the next one that will encourage more liquidity (Ganchrow, check your email for my suggestion later tonight.)
