    Getting "good" odds for Aaron Rogers throwing a TD pass should have been a sign you didn't understand the wager. We've all done similar things on props..

    Breathe in. Breathe out . Move on
    Bovada made the mistake. Thanks for a great response too!

      Clesportsfan we all can't be wrong can we?

      Dude trust me, we love bashing and hating on the books any chance we get (except Optional) but all they did was grade a wager wrong.

        And by doing so, created the precedence that passing touchdowns counted. Despite what the other poster believes, this isn't blackjack and the rules aren't known by most people, so explain what they mean by "touchdown scorer". All my life I thought quarterbacks were important because they score touchdowns, but apparently they don't score anything. Stupid me. All I asked for was the money that I risked back. How is this not making sense?

          You aren't dealing with Wal-Mart. Sportsbooks want your money -- all of it. You gave it to them. They expect you to know how a bet works. They misgraded a bet but you made a lot of dumb bets and that is on you. Just because you didn't understand how the bets work and were led to believe something from a misgraded bet does not exclude you from responsibility. That's just bad luck.

            Touchdown scorer - The player that possesses the ball within the endzone.

            A QB does not score. You have been wrong all your life. He throws a touchdown pass to the touchdown scorer. He hands off to the touchdown scorer. Only when he runs the ball into the endzone, or recieves the ball on a gimmick play and crosses the goal line, is he the touchdown scorer. Tom Brady will go into the hall of fame with roughly 14 touchdowns scored.

            The rules of football are known by most people. The are known by hopefully ALL of the people that are betting on football.

            Bodada has to go on that assumption that all bets are made by people that know the rules.

                If you want to believe you are a genius, then go ahead. We aren't discussing football rules. We are discussing the definition of a term. A term that even Bovada customer service reps can't agree on. It's semantics and if you can send me a link of the definition of touchdown scorer then I'd like to see it. And on Thursday night, the Bovada definition of touchdown scorer included passers. You can try to belittle me all you want, but you are wrong.

                  Considering Bovada's deposit fees, which no other book that I know charges, they're essentially scamming everyone who plays there.

                      Not really fair to B seeing as they have a GIANT bullseye on their back thanks to ol' Calvin, and the dep fees pay the $movers just like the wd fees do. IDK for sure obv but I'd be surprised if more than a small fraction of the fees went to B.

                      And OP,

                      You're just trolling at this point buddy. Everyone here knows what "touchdown scorer" means except you. Just accept it and move on.

                        man some of you are a little harsh on op. obviously the guy is new at sports betting and thought he found gold. take it easy on him.

                        you guys are acting like pack of hyenas in here. obviously op didn't get scammed, he tried to angle shoot and got caught. nothing more nothing less.

                        everyone settle down...

                          I'm trolling lol. That's good. I didn't ask for anyone's opinion. I only posted originally to warn people about Bovada. The collective IQ on this forum seems to be very low. And you all seem to get off on someone else's loss no matter how unfair it is. You can reply to this all you want, but I won't be back to check. I really feel bad for some of you because you seem to have empty lives. Take care.

                            This is a tough one to call. The odds of Aaron scoring a TD through passing is a gimmee so if it was even odds that should have said something there.

                            But, it should be listed on the website and you did say you were a new gambler. The fact that they let you win the first bet is what makes me lean towards you . If it is not on the site anywhere and they graded the first as a win then i can see why you would think that . I know what a TD scorer means but then again i am not a new gambler. I could see thinking that if you never placed a bet before. If it is explained on the site then i would say you are out of luck but you said it was not and if it is a bet they do it should be on there somewhere.

                                If that's what the bet really meant, the juice would be crazy high, maybe -1000?

                                    So now stop gambling!!!

                                    But if you must continue try to just bet a few games. And pray to the Gambling Gods for forgiveness and perhaps they will be merciful. Wait for a really good game and then put it all down and get even. That's called Martingale betting and it works sometimes,
                                    see this is what im talking about instead of answering the man in a normal tone this moron comes on here belittleling him. okay sure he might be wrong but they should have returned the money for the first bet not the others. but of course idiots like nickel get pleasure outta your ignorance . why not just explain it in a decnt way . prick

                                          I don't think any book is completely virtuous, but they aren't out to screw you.

                                          I've been there 11-12 years, lost count. Have had a hand full of disputes with them all solved one way or another through SBR some to my benefit others not.

                                          Gotta be careful with these prop bets. It was somewhat like a bait & switch that they graded the Rothlisberger bet incorrectly, but you have to know what you're betting.

                                              because they have the payout options. you don't have to cash out on certain days to get a free payout.

                                              and they don't do that 30 day wait for the next free payout bullshit. it's one every month. you can cashout on the 30th and get another free one on the 1st. that itself is worth the deposit fees.

                                                what a fukking idiot...
                                                fukking idiot might be a bit harsh.
                                                But definitely a square

                                                  I thought I was pretty nice to the guy. He just couldn't face up to things. I even warned him about the posters here. Poor little fella wouldn't listen and got his feelings hurt and ran away. I don't blame him. It is not easy being green. Youmake a lot of bets and think you are going to win and watch it all disappear. He probably worked hard for that money.

                                                      you guys are acting like pack of hyenas in here. obviously op didn't get scammed, he tried to angle shoot and got caught. nothing more nothing less.

                                                      everyone settle down...
                                                      Correct, everyone starts from somewhere. "Scammed" is not fitting here.
