    got a negative balance at Bovada

    just logged in today as I was looking to deposit their for the football season, and I realized they got me at a negative balance. Its nothing big , however if I make a deposit no doubt I will be giving money away and this feels like I will be simply throwing my money away. I thought about giving them a call and letting them know of the situation but I doubt that would get me anywhere. Bovada has been my main NFL book since back when they were bodog, should I just make the deposit and let them take away the negative balance or do I have any other options here?

    It can happen if you past post and withdraw, before the book realises.
    Or maybe a bad deposit method?
    2 figures id pay it off.

    bet a soccer prop (# of corners in game), questionable number graded as win as the # was debateable, couple days later book changes it to loss, I make withdrawal in between.

    yeah thats happened to me.
    It should be easy to check the corners?
    If you think the bet was a loss, then pay them back. If you think you should have won, then explain it to them.

    Yes, you do have another option. My suggestion to you is that you drive your car (if you have one) into your garage (if you have one) and make sure all the doors and windows are closed. Then, start your car up again and take deep breaths for about an hour with the car window rolled down. Judging by what you've told us, that would not only be the best option for you, but the rest of humanity would also benefit from you doing this.

    bovada tends to have very soft lines in the NFL.

    Bovada is the only book that has paid me quickly without any guff. I would bite the bullet and just make the money back with a few bets.
