    SIA dealing unpublished lines?

    Excuse my ignorance if this is commonplace with them. I was trying to bet U100 (-115) 2H tonight and they gave me a message saying the line had changed to -120. So I cancel, refresh, line is still -115. Try to bet it again, get the same message. Refresh, -115, same message. I know this is common for BetUS, but never had it happen with SIA before.

    Their "refresh" icon doesn't always work. It's been a problem for years.

    The refresh icon hasn't worked for years, that instills confidence. Then again this is the same book that has a blurb about the Lakers 3-peating in their NBA futures section

    If you go back to the main bet menu and do a fresh call, you should see the line they show you on the new line message. We'll ask them about this. It sounds like a cache issue.

    When I've noticed that in the past they actually reject bets on both sides, whereas Bodog and BetUS will let the bets on the "wrong side" go through, so I'm pretty sure with SIA it's just a software issue and not dishonest.

    Yea, that sounds like the same caching hiccup VIP's software has/had.
