NBA 2K PLAYERS TOURNAMENT. Did anyone else wager on this?

[BIG]

This is the biggest crock of shit I have ever seen since betting. Canceled wagers due to saying things were pre recorded? Who is lying here ESPN or news article???

All my 2nd round wagers were canceled after the games were over but this article was posted 4 days ago and they still continued to take wagers but cancel after the fact. Anyone else have this happen?

I plan to file a complaint with SBR

I guess these sports books can do what they want. I see no evidence of these not being played Live. One i don't think ESPN would make that up. Second of all I only see one guy from a sports book claiming it was pre recorded because Jones was a 16th seed and Durant was a 1 seed and a lot of money came in on Jones and he won easy.
How is this guy running a Sportsbook. These seeds were based off player ratings on the players overall grade on the game haha it has nothing to do with how good they are on the game and what team they play with.
Keep in mind this article is 4 days old and pertains to round 1 games but they took bets on round 2 but don't cancel until they are over and bring up article that is 4 days old 🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷*♂️🤷 *♂️

It was article in news. Bookies lost bunch of money as some of results leaked so it was logical move..

This is not proven...This is based off one man basically saying Jones beat Durant and was 16 seed and a lot of money came in on Jones. Well it did because Durant wasn't worth a shit. Seedimg was based off of the actual players rating on NBA 2k which means nothing so this guy thought Kd should be favorite because he's a 1 seed lmao. This was for the 1st round as well. I wagered on 2nd plays that they had lines on until tip last night. Decide to cancel after games were over using the article that was out 4 days as reference. ESPN states that it is live. Some players put it feels like GameDay in Twitter the day of their game i don't see any pre recording it is all based on Durant losing things must been linked. How about ppl knew Jones was better than Kd. I actually bet Kd in round one myself and lost but seedings meant nothing strictly off player rating out the game hence why Jones was a 16. They based odds off seeding and shouldn't have and now try to find away out of it. I get it if that happens makes sense but putting lines up for round 2 and taking them until they went live on ESPN makes no sense then canceling. I didn't win a huge amount of money but went 6-2 and its the purpose. Let alone my future bets i have for the tournament to win they say are still good for now. So when do they determine these aren't good after the tournament like round 2????.
Taking them down is fine but you don't leave the made 2 days prior to round 2 stay open until round 2 has played out and then cancel that is Very Fishy

I bet all the match ups in round one and none of my wagers were canceled. Did you get paid on your round one wagers? I couldn't even find lines for the 2nd round, but I didn't realize this info was out there. Now I see why books didn't want to take action on the 2nd round. If they did post round 2 lines and took bets on them without canceling prior to the start of round 2 knowing that they could come back and cancel the wagers using that article as proof that's a pretty clear case of free rolling.

All of my wagers for the 1st round were graded as well and is the only round in question. It was a losing day and I had Durant. I agree it was free rolling. I posted my bets on Tuesday when the lines came out but they didn't play until Thursday. They had the lines up all the way until tip off. After games were completed they decided to cancel all of them at 3am in the morning. These were clearly live on ESPN2. I do know some books took there lines off after news came out. I think it was made up because many ppl bet Jones and he beat kd. Kd sucks and books made him a favorite based off of the seed which is irrelevant. Some books still put 2nd round lines out until tip and should honor them win or lose and not wait until they are over when this is old news they already knew about as well as this news was never confirmed at all. They still have no proof anything was pre recorded. If anything was canceled it should have been round 1 but .kst books accepted the loss and moved on but the ones that offered 2nd round used this info to cancel after results were in.

This is what happens when you bet on stupid things like people playing video games. Only bet on real sports that are live and you won't have this problem.

It won't do any good. :\

The books realized some of the TV broadcast stuff was pre-recorded and not disclosed as not really being live due to weird bets.



I had exactly the same problem at Bet365 with NBC televised nascar races as "Live" when they weren't too.


"on review of this bet I can see that this has been deemed a Late Bet and as such has been made void in line with our terms and conditions which can be located at the bottom of the bet365 website. Please be advised that this race was a pre recorded race which had been taped the week before as such the outcome of the race was already known at the time of the markets being made live. "

The question is, why is 5d voiding only winners from last round, and also banning players who bet it?

Why is BOL offering lines for the finals after cancelling all quarterfinals bets?

Freerolling left and right.

100% correct.
Also Offered 2nd round lines in which I bet on but cancel them from Round 1 statements. Makes no Sense.
My bets were made 2 days prior to Thursday along with I had losers. I went 6-2 but 6-3 if you count what I bet on 5dimes the day of.
And they also told me my Future bets are "Good for now" the ones I have to win the tournament. I guess they may wait to see the turnout on these before they decide if they want to cancel this or not. I have been betting online since I was 18 for 24 years 1sr time I have ever seen anything like this. Still 0 proof games were pre recorded. Simply believe so because how could a 1 seed lose to a 16 see when them seeds mean not a single thing lmao. Free rolling at its best.

You heard about the info that was out that is completely false why did you post lines for round 2 but decide these wouldn't count not until after the fact the round was over. Thia could have been voided before the round started....I sat here and sweated Booker out as he was getting whipped. I lost on Tre Young. Had a little of Jines and Harrell and then like Beverly a lot and had to sweat that out as he was down for awhile. Watched it for 4 hours its frustrating and not about the money but how do you trust wagers going forward?

[DontTailMe]

The books have known this was pre-recorded for about a week now. There have been fake leaks (which end up being a boon for the bookies) and real leaks. Of course they’re only voiding the real leaks after broadcast.

It’s 100% free rolling.

Don’t offer lines on pre-recorded material if you’re going to act this way.

Edit: I haven’t placed a single bet on these events. I’ve just watched this unfold and think it’s BS.

I agree and I was simply unaware of any of this information until I woke up this morning and my wagers were canceled in the middle of the night and i contacted them about the issue and they sent me the article... Again this news was from Monday or Tuesday yet you put up 2nd round lines for Thursday all the way up until tip at 7est. Smh
Still have concern for my future bets I rather they cancel them all then to wait and my guy wins and then they cancel again ????? Became if he doesn't win nothing will get canceled...The customer reps words were they are good for now, I asked him to send me an email saying that or get on live chat with me and tell me and he refused to do both. I mean its not his fault I'm sure he don't know what's going to be good or not but he could find out instead of saying they are good for now lol.
Again the leaked info had nothing to do with the second round is what frustrates me.

[nerdyguy]

Yes you are right. Thing is they advertised it as live, put in live section and now they void cause prerecorded..any future win might be voided too while loss wont ofc..

Never got a clear answer from them on this as they just kept stating our debt is determining what is going to happen to these wager and now it is over they decide to Grade them as is lmao....I did have Ayton and no Booker but got no clear answer if my future were in play.

Free rolling at its finest... something I never seen from 5dimes ever, so bad how they handled this. Cancel round 2 because the tournament was pre recorded they determined but your futures they kept open and would not clarify if they are in play. After the tournament they decide they will continue as is SMH.

The virtual Grand National 2020 Aitree was a pre-recorded race... No leak.

So 5d just bent over a good number of its long-term customers, and SBR collectively yawns?

They were looking into it for me but I haven't heard nothing recently...5 dimes just told me this lmao. The games on 4/3 and 4/5 were 1st round games that were exactly the ones affected by this lol. The ones that weren't were on 4/9 and those got canceled lmao...They just keep throwing out anything possible and they are just embarrassing there selves to me...not many ppl wagered on this or it would be a bigger deal and they could make it right but with so little ppl complaining about it they can just try and sweep it under the rug. So embarrassing they cancel after the results come in through the middle of the night.

Greetings again!

I just checked this with the department in charge, however, all wagers on NBA2k Quarter finales have been cancelled due to the*event being prerecorded and results being leaked, compromising the results of the matches.

The games on 4/3 & 4/5 were not exposed or affected due to this.

#SHADY Bovada did the same in cancelling. Between SIMS & NBA I can't catch a break 😭

very true

that was a great race too....The leader fell 2 or 3 out and the star of the show Tiger Roll faded too. I thought i saw over 4 million watched

Why are you betting on this garbage in the 1st place???

Why is it shady? The integrity of the matches were called into question. We can debate which round what was known on, but when you have the likes of Sports Illustrated reporting on outcome leakage, it's not fake news.

All sportsbooks that we know of except one have settled the markets on this consistently. The best you can hope for sometimes is a good faith free play or credit as nobody enjoys having a bet cancelled. But cancelling is standard stuff.

Regarding the OP's questions, we are in touch via email assisting directly. If we have any other specifics to share concerning the bets on this from the book he's using, we'll add to our post here.

Round 1 was a little for fun and you could dig up who played the game a lot and who didn't. Afyer round 1 you could tell who was good and who wasn't so I felt confident enough to wager on them...Same as anything else regardless of what it is. If you feel confident then bet it.

Who is the sports book that honored this like it should be...That would be cool to know and a shout out to them.
If there was something leaked it had nothing to do with round 2 and the leaked news came on 4/6 round 2 came on 4/9 and all plays were good up until hours after round 2 was played. Absolutely no evidence of round 2 leakes but thats the round that was canceled 🤔🤔🤔 That is the whole purpose of this thread.

Si has the same article as everyone else....Only one person claiming leaked news.

I think their main evidence is the betting patterns BIG.

It's a new thing for everyone and this tuned out to be a mess. None of them probably have some sort of insider knowledge proof of the type you are asking for. But most do appear to be attempting to do the right thing as best they can I think.

Oh, the round was definitely leaked. The correct winners were being discussed on other forums.
