    bovada restricts certain mlb bets
    i wanted to bet the phil rl and oak rl but was unable to because of a peculiar and unfair tactic by bovada to beat their customers. What a joke of a book just signed up recently but my experience thus far has brought to the realization that they have very little respect for their customers or players. They always look nickel and dime you through nefarious actions such as this one. I am surprised they remain a industry leader with their treatment of its customers but you could understand that happening in a unregulated industry.

      They are trying to put sanctions on their customers such as myself who wanted to bet on the Phillies or Oakland run line but was unable to because of their restrictions. They basically were limiting the options of anyone who wanted to bet those games by either forcing them to make a bet they were not comfortable placing or simply just not placing a bet because it was not their desired selection

            I wanted to place a bet on the phillies runline so when i when i logged on and went to their mlb section it had the money + 136 but the rl +1.5 -130 was unable to be selected. So any bettor who wanted to bet on the runline was unable to do so and thus restricted from making their desired bet.but if you wanted to bet on the money line you were free to place that bet. They were making it inconvenient for their customer but more importantly unfair

              it usually in the prop section....the posted line for all books is usually gonna be +1.5 for the underdog...what you were looking for is the Alt Runline...(the dog to cover -1.5) which would of been around +180

                    ok so you wanted the +1.5 on Philly...it was scratched off cause there was a pitching change and they had not updated the line yet...

                        Thanks for clarifying. Seems like misguided frustration if this is all there is to it.
