Yes, yes, I know, its wrestling, its scripted, blah blah, but I think 5dimes has made an error in their grading of this event. I've talked to Tony but he won't budge on his stance. I have a Miz +1000 ticket that was graded as "cancelled" instead of as a winner as a result of Tony's decision. The rules, as quoted, for this type of event are as follows (taken from a chat with a 5dimes rep on live chat):
"Results will be graded/regraded based on the official result at ringside. A result may be revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer. Results are not official for wagering purposes until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Official or unofficial sanctioning body overturns of a fight decision based on appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result, or any other fighter sanction will not be recognized for wagering purposes."
In this case, the match was originally announced by the ring announcer as a double count-out. However, the match was re-started (i.e. "revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer") and the Miz was then announced the victor at the end of the night. WWE's own official website confirms that the Miz was the victor as well (i.e. "verified by officials at the fighting venue.") Despite this, Tony has made clear that his decision will stand as given that all bets on this match will be "cancelled". I attempted to talk with Tony about reconsidering his decision but he was not in the mood to discuss such an option.
Is there anyone here who can possibly help me? I'm a low-limit player and I've probably deposited around 2-3k over 3 years with 5dimes, and have never requested a payout. I'm your average degen gambler who was hoping to use my winnings from my Miz ticket to help me wager on baseball at 5dimes. I even suggested to Tony that perhaps he could grade my Miz ticket a winner and put a rollover requirement on it as a compromise position. He rejected this outright.
