    5dimes incorrect superbowl prop grading
    So i bet 942 Any other Coldplay song first at half -285*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> "Yellow" is first Coldplay song at half. Coldplay CLEARLY started with Viva la Vida and didnt even perform Yellow at all

    So 5Dimes graded this as a loss somehow. Live chat gives me this bs response "Hi, good evening sir, I'm the person in charge for Wagering at this moment, the wager it's graded correctly, as the previous clerk informed you, we do not grade according to any source, we were watching the show, they started with Yellow"

    Is there anything I can do?

      I just watched it on youtube. The first lyrics he sings is from yellow, but then they play the song viva la vida.

            Yep just saw. Still pretty sketchy considering it was only one line from the song but whatever. Between the anthem and this I learned the books can do whatever they want with grading...

                This is why prop bets like that are a joke. Too much is left to interpretation.

                  I learned my lesson a few years ago when a heap of us on here were debating the colour of fricken Gatorade poured on the coach's head. No one - including the books - could figure it out at first because it was diluted or some nonsense. Now whenever I bet them it's for like $10 max so if I lose like I invariably do on some technicality, it doesn't sting that much.

                    yeah i dont touch that shit along with national anthem etc. Only wager on props with data to back it up.
                    Leave the cleavage shows/ does she have a cocck under her skirt etc. to the audience.

                      Correct, the prop was graded correctly.

                        Bol paid both. Dimes should do same or at least push. Can be argued The music played on first song was not from yellow and one line not considered a "song"

                          One line does not make it a song.

                                I never like to play props anymore after my shit experience because the books always hold the leverage and you won't get the benefit of the doubt. It's a lose-lose in my opinion.

                                  I bet on "Any Other Song" and this was initially graded as a "Win" but then changed to a Loss.

                                  Is this the same experience others have had?

                                      To me, it says "song", not a line from a song. It seems that most complaints on this board are from 5 dimes.

                                        THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS:

                                        Can anyone confirm that they bet "Yellow" and had that bet graded as a win?

                                          They never play full songs at the halftime shows. If they did, you'd only get to hear 2 songs before time is up.

                                                the rules of such bets need to clarify what constitutes a song ... imho one line NO, one full verse at least

                                                but frankly I have no sympathy for people betting on such nonsense

                                                there are people who know the program in advance and what's going to be played, worn etc
