Hi,
I want to bring to light some rather unsavoury activity that the traders behind the white label betting solution Jenningsbet.com utilise.
I do a lot of in play betting on basketball and football (soccer
).
With 99.9% of bookmakers I use if lines change, you're prompted to accept the new changes before your bet is accepted. With the system used by jenningsbet.com the traders continually accept bets when the line moves in their favour, but if it goes against them, only then do they prompt you to accept the new line.
I raised this issue with support when I first noticed it and this was there response.
I chalked it off as a once off incident, but then it happened many more times...
Bet 1.
As soon as I clicked on submit, the line jumped to 169.5, the bet was in pending status for multiple seconds but was taken at the worse line for the same odds.
Bet 2.
Exact same situation as the previous bet, except the line jumped two points right after I clicked submit, while it was pending i could even see it on their system that the line had moved, bet accepted.
Bet 3.
On this bet, the line dropped 3 points right after I clicked on submit, guess what, the bet wasn't accepted and I was prompted to accept the new line. Of around 12-15 in play live bets, this is the only one on which I've been prompted to accept a new line.
Bet 4.
This was the most startling of all, before I even placed my bet the line had actually jumped 5 points up to 189.5, but not according to their system, the bet was never even in pending status, it was snapped off and instantly accepted, this alarmed me so I instantly switched tabs to another bookie i use to keep tabs on in play action, I noticed the line had sharply moved up to 189.5 and when I switched back to Jenningsbet the same line appeared. What really startled me was the speed at whch the bet was accepted (250 buck stake).
There are more examples but these are the ones that stood out and of which I'm 100% confident that I'm absolutely correct and I remember them vividly, in all of these (and the other bets which this happend with) the only time I've been prompted to accept a new line was when it wasn't in the traders interest to accept the new lines on my slip. I guarantee you that my bet would not have been accepted on the Bulls game if I had bet the over line.
I decided to play on Jenningsbet because I actually like the software, layout and the markets available, even though they don't have the best odds on all markets. There are lots of other bookmakers using the same system (10bet, betrally, betway etc.) but they are all regulated in jurisdictions I don't trust.
I've raised a complaint with the Isle of man gaming commission about these practices and I've also played email ping pong with support, who are totally dismissive of my complaints. Most of my bets have won even with the poorer lines offered, but I feel as though money has been left on the table because I should have been offered better odds on those lines and the Bulls bet speaks for itself, the game finished up on 189 points.
Please note that I first raised this issue on a winning bet, this is not a case of sour grapes because I lost on one bet.
Iff you use a bookmaker that uses this software, be very careful with the lines offered and accepted.

Dear x,
Hope all is well with you.
We have seen in your account that all your bets were accepted and settled accordingly.
Regarding betting lines, these are adjusted by our expert traders according to the kind of odds that will result in the equal distribution of wagers on both sides of an event. Should there be an imbalance in the wagering patterns by the majority of the bettors, traders will keep on adjusting the betting lines until the desired result is obtained.
Once the equilibrium is essentially set and wagers on both teams are as equal as it can be, the betting line stops moving. It shall probably last at that value which resulted in equilibrium unless some event occurs that causes the balance to be shaken up, in such case another adjustment is made.
We apologise for any inconvenience. Your understanding is appreciated.
Regards,
Customer Support Team
