#178this case has nothing to do with sbr and i dont see how sbr could help (unless they prove this person has multiple accounts)
given the rules of offshore, i think they will and should side with the book
but it does not make it right and offshore needs changed if they want to keep up with regulated books
when will sbr come in with regulated usa books?
hopefully the next step for themComment -

maybe you have poor reading comprehension... i said 4 times that bodog was wrong
you on the other hand said bodog should keep the winnings AND the deposit, and that sbr should rule in the book's favor, how is that not siding with the book?
seems like i'm in the freaking twilight zone in this threadComment -

#185I do have to say i am always amused by the backstory. Small bettor that barely plays suddenly finds a books stupidity and hits a series of correlated parlays for 20k. And then of course adds the 2kids, mother, etc.
I wonder how much time they put into these stories?
That being said, book should pay our sweet little angle shooter.Comment -

i also like how it starts with "aw shucks i didn't know what i was doing, please help" and the very next day it's "if i don't get my way i'm gonna twitter blast them all over the internet!"Comment -

#189after all of my research these are bad lines for bovada. OP got greedy and parlayed them. OP should be paid though.
how was durant at 31-1 to hit most 3's when he was the 4th player on both teams in 3's per game? Obvious bad line.
8-12 to 1 would have been more feasible
durant was almost 4-1 to score most points when he was the 2nd leading scorer on both teams combined. line is a little high but nothing to crazy.
if bovada would have said bad line then the case for the book would have more merit imo.
If OP was smart would have kept playing those lines straight and made some decent money but greed gets everyone in the long runComment -

#190Those plays are prop bets and not correlated parlays. The player bet on separate props and used the winnings to stick it up their ass. They need to pay!Comment -

#193...
If they had sent something (or even better, called me) like "We messed up. Sorry but we can't let those bets stand because we made a bunch of mistakes. We should have told you after the very first bet you won and for that we apologize. Here is a % of the winnings. Don't bet parlays anymore." then I wouldn't even have come here. If they still do that I will move on. Otherwise, I'll wait to see if SBR can help me and if not, I'll just post the story to Twitter.
And to those of you who think "no one cares you are a mother of two" I think you are wrong. The general public will probably care a lot about this story. They won't know what a parlay even means but they will see a middle-aged, middle-class woman with two young kids who won $25,000 and the online casino that took the winnings back.
It isn't ideal for me or my family to go that route but it seems worth the trouble to have the story out there.Comment -

"mother of two" was just a ploy to make it appear to be more legit.Comment -

durant had led the game in 3 pointers made TWICE during the regular season (and one of those was a tie) out of 82 games
2/82 is in the neighborhood of the 1/31 price
prop bets should almost NEVER BE CANCELLED due to a "bad line", they fluctuate wildly based on people max betting them, and in this case there is no way that the bet should've been 8/1, that's just silly.
the lines weren't bad, but parlaying them together was (correlated)... but no different than when youwager used to allow correlated parlays on college football... you could take stuff like alabama -41 with over 47 in those non-conference games... they finally got smart and quit allowing them, but in the meantime they didn't freeroll everyoneComment -

They could still say it was correlated and a bad line and the player was a professional and the bonuses are only for recreational players. A lot of Kahnawake (Sportsinteraction) must have rubbed off on Bovada. This is the kind of thing they would have done.Last edited by BuckyOne; 04-30-19, 10:11 PM.Comment -

#201I dont think Durant would of won this bet once in the 78 games he payed in the regular season, sure its correlated but not like it is stealing money.Comment -

#203Ok I only checked the games he made 4 or more, I guess he could of done it with 3.Comment -

#206but the bet is for most 3s IN ALL GAMES PLAYED THAT DAY... and most points IN ALL GAMES PLAYED THAT DAY
for example there were 2 games for that durant bet, so he had to outscore everyone on all 4 teams, and make more 3s than anyone else on all 4 teams
there was an edge to these bets, but it wasn't stealing by any stretch of the imagination... it was bodog's fault for allowing them to be parlayed, and the player had to get EXTREMELY LUCKY to hit a few big onesComment -

#209Ok - so the 5 favorites that night to combo the most points/most 3’s were KD, Thompson, Curry, Harden, ?CP.
what happens if you bet 5 separate parlays each time? That wins as well, right! Was there value on all 5 parlays? This comes down to the bookmaker at Bovada being an idiot! The bookmaker thought he could win every dime bet on these props.
So, a sharp nails them? But, they have a catch 22 rule. No sharps or pros. All squares will lose - only sharps can find value - player won - must be a sharp - void the bets!
Bovada bookmarking is incompetent - they should not even be offering prop bets if they do not know what they are doing!Comment -
