SportsBettingOnline.ag Refunds Pacquiao Bets After Controversial Split Decision

after further research i think they're just doing this for publicity as they have d sbr rating and pretty much dont have any action with this bet.

paddy power also did that

I asked doc to do it in my interview with him, he said no, i was like yeah fuk that keep your pac money

So if they are refunding Pacquiao bets what are they doing about Bradley bets?

AribaAriba · 06-13-12, 02:54 PM

probally refund too, but these books who offering refunds probably have at least couple of bets on each side.

mikeanite · 06-13-12, 02:59 PM

does it mean that if you won they'll just refund your money? that's more of a low blow from the books

No legit sportsbook would refund Bradley bets. The dude won on the judges scorecards, period. Even if the bout were ruled a no contest, which it will not be, the grades would remain. It's a PR deal to refund the losing Pac bets.

That is what I figured, Lou. If they refund Pac-man bets they shouldn't refund Bradley bets or a lot of people would make a fuss from that as well.

That's exactly what popped in to my mind PR deal.

If DSI tried to refund my $2,000 Bradley bet at +360 odds, they would have a huge problem on their hands. I would be on the next flight to Custa Rica.

Any chase DSI gives me my pacman 200 bet back????

no way any book is refunding a large amount of money on pac bets

like doc said it probably cost paddy power 12-15k

publicity

european books probably don't get a lot of boxing action. who knows. the greek or 5dimes would never refund probably. too much cash

LT Profits · 06-13-12, 11:11 PM

No, Bradley bets are paid out as winners. Pac refunds is PR move.

arnoldrothstein · 06-13-12, 11:16 PM

I figured that. What if this wbo investigation changes the outcome?

Won't matter for betting purposes, overturned decisions are not recognized.

Exactly. it's a brand new book. they probably have a hand full of customers and they're likely small players testing out the new place. a few thousands refund, if that.
