    I’m showing this Tigers bet from the summer to illustrate that their betslip is messed up.

    Intentional or not, sure, that’s debatable.

    There is no debate about it being messed up.

    The it's as you click theory makes sense. Why I believe it is because it happened to me once on a small bet during live betting. Thought I was dawdling too long to hit the submit so I was only pissed at myself.

    You would think they could hold the line for 9 seconds? something / when the bet window is created.

    Their software has had trouble just staying up / customer service is non existent / not exactly bubbling over with trust in this book! Get even without getting screwed again if that is possible.

    That should clearly be 13,200 but if you're initial explanation was as obvious as your bet slip I would've gotten it. You mean to tell me if you email that slip to BM they wouldn't rectify it? Pretty sure they would. That $150 they're stiffing you on ain't gonna exactly make or break them. Great bet by the way!

    Interesting thread. I was with Bookmaker 2 years ago. Last 5 wagers I made... 4 of them the juice would reset and wager wasn't accepted.

    This was back with their old layout... in which you'd hit refresh lines.... then quickly make your wager and hit accept. There's no possible way within 3-4 seconds after a refresh... the line would change and your wager wouldn't be accepted. It was one of the reasons why I left them.

    Good to know they are still doing this sh#$.

    It's not a theory. It's what's happening.

    The fix is to interrupt the exchange the moment a line changes. It should be impossible to submit in that situation.

    Yes it was rectified. But it illustrates that there are problems with their betslip and they are not fixing it.

    On Sunday I clicked -102 and was given -114. That’s a problem.

    I don't agree. On Sunday you selected -102, but right before you submitted -102, it switched it to -114. From my knowledge and experience with this problem you submitted a -114. It changed, BEFORE you hit submit.

    It's important semantics, and I agree it is a problem. That betslip should be frozen to the bettor upon change, this push towards one click submitting could be leaving holes in the software.

    I would say it changed “while” I clicked submit.

    Yeah, I'm on your side here, it's exactly what happened. It should not happen expecially the way BM moves lines and prices right before game time.

    One solid poster calls it the BM spaz. Also, because it's possible to get a better or worse line doesn't make it ok.

    You can't have it both ways. You can't say BM "wins" and then say there is a minor problem that SBR needed to be alerted to.

    We can all agree, Bm is solid, but this is an issue that has trapped many a bettor, and it's only as minor as the dollar amount you bet.

    You think this is minor????...

    They just screwed me over for $4800 in juice...
    Granted, even BAUS agrees it happened as he clicked but what's minor to some is not to a business.

    For Michael Jack Corbin:

    $45,600 @-114
    vs
    $40,800 @-102

    Equals $4800 in rape

    Guys I’m the judge of all this there is no Jury I am it


    Hopefully what will come of this bookmaker might alter some technical glitches if there are any which is still in question, let’s make no mistake about it this is an A+ sportsbook

    BM definitely A+. But they need to freeze the betslip if the odds change. This should not be that difficult to fix.

    That Tigers ticket is just more proof their betslip is fukked.

    If bookmaker stole $300 from Doug tushyterror, he would be going apeshit and everyone would be on his side. Stiff book! Pay the player!
    Instead they steal more than $4000 from a player behind a 'tech glitch' and people are telling him to be more careful or denying it even happened.

    TECH "glitches" and BTC shenanigans are the newest forms of sportsbook stiffjobs and SBR should be pushing back hard on this.

    5Dimes --> steal any possible BTC upside while your deposit is pending.
    Pinnacle --> give you bad BTC price, if you complain, they tell you to 'contact BTC'.
    BOL --> Have stale lines, if you try to bet the good stale line they stop you. If you try to bet the bad line [which is worse than their actual current odds], they let you screw yourself.
    BM --> ticket theft. Change price on you while you hit submit, or while your bet is in the Spinny Circle of doom.

    And our judge and jury is jjgold, who has never in 20 years made a deposit or wager more than $50 offshore

    I still would like to see some visual proof of the BM "glitch." I have been playing there for years. Never wagered 40k but I've wagered well over 1k. I've never had this happen.

    Try betting halftimes. You take some line +110 and it moves to +108, your bet will just spin and spin. Then eventually if line stays low your bet is canceled. But, if line jumps up to +112 let's say, they then accept your wager at +110.

    These issues won't happen to you when lines are just sitting there. If you bet a thanksgiving game right now you'll be fine. It's when odds are moving rapidly.

    Pinnacle's bet slip had this all figured out 15 years ago or even more. But somehow other books can't figure it out in 2020. Hmm!

    Bigjoe's report can be trusted.

    But BAUS insisted his problem is not just what BigJoe experienced. He is claiming something far more nefarious. Waiting to see if he can come up with his promised video to back up what he claimed about odds changing after he submitted before deciding what to do about this.

    Let's not forget the BETCRIS 3.5% tax on any payouts deemed "non-recreational"

    The highest BTC payout fees in the business, if I'm not mistaken. Most books don't charge anything.

    You’re implying that I’m telling lies here? Sure, I just took the worst possible price available on purpose 🥴.
