oddsmaker, we shall see

[SsgKen]

So I was up over $1000 buying bitcoins on a dip. I then get an email in July offering a 100% bonus on my decade-old oddsmaker account. I checked and there was still $500 in their "Free Money" where on a $30 bet, they only deduct $29 giving over a 3% deduction on the vig. I was following some amazing bettors in MLB and I quickly put $16,000 at risk and requested a $2000 withdrawal, their maximum. I was told my SUMMER2018 bonus was my $1000+their $1000 had a 30X rollover or $60,000.

I started logging my money at risk on July 27 of $5000, then each day almost my full total until Aug 2 @ $8,200. for a total of over $76,000. Why not? I was winning. So August 4 I requested my $2000 with some fee. For a while, I felt good until I logged in here and saw the F rating.

Color me stupid. I am a good picker but a bad bettor. I put money into bookmaker and other A-rated 'books. I faded these bets at oddsmaker. All that did on my losing Phillies $950--->$500 @ bookmaker but won more maybe useless credits $950 @ oddsmaker for a total of $18,488.
If I ever get paid, I will post here. At least my $1000+their $500 bookmaker account is now $6,049. I always put any gaming winning on my Form 1040 as I am on an IRS watch list so I use real money instead of units. I will be funding more A rated 'books soon because some football props are almost like free money but a risk limit of $100.

Ugh. Not much worse than the feeling of realizing you have bet good money against bad.

[SsgKen]

At least today's plays @ bookmaker were 7-1-1 in a round robin of $10x56. Big day for me bookmaker up 50% today. I almost have the $10,000 I wanted to start NFL.
In a way, the oddsmaker call was good in this manner; I never bet MLB because I simply cannot win at it and thought it could not be done. But there are these players in a picking contest I follow that were 5-2 last week. I would still have only my seed money of $2500. Because oddsmaker called it a MLB bonus, I looked at baseball for the first time in years. Trying to find the silver lining. Maybe I will get that first $2000 check and get my first $1000 back.

I wonder if I get the balance over $20,000 if they will negotiate a one-time payment of $10,000 as payment in full?

Hell freezes over; I got a check for $1945

Hell freezes over, I got MY check for $1945.00

If I ever get my MS Paint working on this computer, I will post an image of the check with my details removed. It is for deposit only so who knows how long the bank will put a hold on it.

It is drawn on JPMorgan Chase NY, NY

[ehp6737]

Interesting that you even received a check, but chances are it wont clear, assuming its even a real check, drawn on a real account. The fact that its drawn on a bank like morgan chase makes it even more suspicious imo.

[SsgKen]

I deposited the check on

09/11/2018

DEPOSIT

$1,945.00

I asked for a $2000 debit card today. In case anyone is in my boat, in the withdrawal enter PIN, you must hand enter and not copy and paste. I am not going to not use the money for 45 days.

[Optional]

Thanks for updating the thread Ken.

[SsgKen]

I got a debit card with $2000 but it is in Pounds Sterling. It took a while to get the pin because they use the day/month/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy I am used to; just had to listen.

I got it registered and tried it on Amazon. I just had to pay in ₤.$4000 down, $16,000 to go.

The check is cleared two months now and never returned.

I just asked for a new $2000 check.

Sounds like a major hassle and extremely sketchy but the fact that you have received SOMETHING is encouraging. Are you continuing to bet as normal there?

[SsgKen]

They cut me down to a $50 limit. That was very stupid of them as I lately was in a big losing streak and I am sure I would have lost it all if I could have played much.

No limit in the casino.

Bet as normal? No. I make a few $50 bets so it does not look like I am just getting my winnings.

I do not endorse this 'book. Just trying to collect. It may take 8 months, but it is looking better.

Gotcha. Smart to always keep betting, even if it's $50 here and there. Certainly hope you get paid every cent.

That check arrived quite quickly at, but a new check was debited from my account but has not arrived.

[stevex]

I have received and successfully deposited two different checks from them for $1,945 so I'm not sure if things have changed for the better but the only annoying thing is it takes a while to actually get the check.

F Book but.

if things have changed can I reopon my SBR complaint from several years ago of them stealing SBR verified (oddsmaker) $40,000 + from my account and never paying it? would the experts at SBR take another go at past no pay or stealing funds complaints in the past upon news of all these sudden "payments"?

A couple of weeks after the 12/07 check I requested another. They debited my account but no check yet.

check 9/12
debitcard 10/21 or so
check 12/07

Maybe in a week or so.

Dear Try.. It cannot hurt but I will bet they will claim a "Statute of Limitations". My Wisconsin bank for a few years was sitting on my $105.xx and sending me monthly statements from 2006 to 2009. When I went back to do business, they said it was abandoned money, and moved it to an account that was to go to the State. They said there was no money movement in 2 years so it's theirs. I bitched that there was only $100 in 1999 but it was only because they stopped paying interest that there was no movement.

It was only when I showed them the statements that they dug it out.

Feel bad for you but at the same time why would you bet enough to win $40,000 at an offshore book? Why not stop at say $10,000 and then see if you can get a couple of payouts before you decided to take it to that level? Common sense helps but you've been betting with sportsbook.ag and ranting about how good that book is with lines for years so no wonder.

check 9/12 debitcard 10/21 or so. I spent the debit card at Amazon; might be $25 or so.
check 12/07 deposited, now 50 days, still cleared. After some nudging which got the usual "Sorry, our processor had blah, blah blah

  Was a total of $18,488. I ran the total up to ~$21,500 until they cut me down to $50 limit. Looks like it will be one year to collect, if they keep paying.

Again. Who runs an account up to $40,000 in the first place at an offshore book? Let’s use our heads just a little bit here pal.

They are paying faster than Topbet, who used to be a sister book.

well they paid $0.0 all along so the total makes no difference, it could be $300 or $3 million, whats is your point?

As surprising as it may be to you it is not unheard of for gamblers to try and run up their balance at an online sportsbook. For some it is the ultimate goal.

They've been paying me out the past couple of months so you were doing something they didn't like. You found a hole and tried to take advantage would be my first thought but I don't know all of the details.

Again, they're paying out. Slowly, but they're paying.

[SsgKen]

Reminds me of playing blackjack and the count tells you to bet minimum. So you bet $5 and draw a 9-2 vs dealer 6. You double, drawing a ten for 21. "I should have bet more you think." Then the dealer shows a 16 but draws a 5 for 21. Push.

$5 or $5 million, no difference.
