    Why does betislands keep the cents in all bets?
    I mean almost ALL books give you an exact amount wagered. For instance, I usually wager $196.96 but when I try to do that on the site, it shows up as $197 and then of course the payout is rounded as well

                      LMAO the retards in this thread. Well instead of betting at -110 just bet at -120 then so you wont get any change back.

                      Seriously, no wonder books make so much money of idiots, they dont have a frigging clue.

                      Whether it is rounded up or down just shows what a micky mouse joint it is. No book worth anything would round a bet, it should be to the exact penny.

                      If they allow 10 dollar bets and round up on anything over .50, then basically for a +146 to +149 dog youre getting +150, how the hell does that work? Same as if youre betting a +141 to +144 youre only getting +140. Basically any bet less than 100 bucks you make will have some sort of rounding attached to it. What a frigging joke.

                      But if all you high rollers who throw change awaywant to make some bets with me and let me round all the action down feel free to PM me.

                            Legends software rounded up as well when you risked 5 on a -110 it paid 5

                            They shut me down after I made 50 $5 bets on the same game

                              They round up as well as down. Like others are saying I hate change in the account anyway! I believe Jon said if this bothers people he would refund the change. Book has been rising ever since he was hired. IMO deserves a look by every recreational player. Only time will tell how good or bad this book will be, but seems to be trending up.

                                  The most I ever got at once was $975. If you cash out $2100, why you cryin about change for?

                                    dont care about cents.

                                    this book needs live betting and tennis totals.
