i'm so angry, i can barely type for right now. so bear w/ me.
i have deposited w/ this sportsbook (so far unnamed until i hear from this supervisor "MATT") (C rated sbr) since beginning of 09. i have since made several deposits via **/** and several withdraws via wire. i am overall net up in that book.
i wagered actively with this sportsbook since the start of 09 NFL season w/ combination of straight bets, teasers, and parlays, my action easily in 5 digits on average per week. then on 10/10/09, 2 weeks after I made a reload deposit of 2,000$ to my acct via **, my betting limits across the board were slashed to 100$.
At the time of the limit cut my balance stood at 11,310.6$ After noticing the limit cut, I realize that i have wore out my welcome. and there sent in my documents to verify for a check withdraw (since i have moved recently) cs emailed me back and told me everything is set and confirmed and i can began withdrawing.
I made a request for 3,000$ check withdraw but there was the check never came, i sent in a few email inquiries but received no answer. as i have been busy w/ rest of the football season , i thought i'd just leave this to deal with until after the football season ends and i have more time.
so my balance of 11,310$ was left there dormant for 2 months, w/ no movement, until I checked my account today and on monday 12/7/09 there was a "accounting deduction" made on my account and subtracted 9,578.6$ from my balance. I immediately seeked cs support to clarify why that money was deducted, her answer was something along the lines of "b/c you made correlated bets" and when pressed, told me to speak to a supervisor named Matt who will be in the office tomorrow.
i don't deny i have made parlays, they are along the lines of 1st H: C Mich -9.5 parlayed w/ 1st H: total over 23. another example: 1st H: Kansas -11.5 parlayed w/ 1st H: total over 28.5.
consider the facts, these parlays were ACCEPTED and GRADED and CREDITED to my account after they settled. these parlay absolutely forced punters to take significant risks as they're nowhere NEAR 100% correlation. In fact the book in question does indeed restrict parlays they consider too correlated (1st H: fav -20 parlayed w/ total 28 over for example) So these bets were accepted honestly and it is no fault of the software, since extremely correlated parlays have been blocked by the software, all my parlays were considered fine/accepted by the software.
now, TWO MONTHS goes by AFTER these parlays were accepted/graded/credited to my account, after two months of dormant activity, this monday they made the RETROACTIVE adjustment to confiscate my balance. i know it cannot be related to my recent activity as the last bets i place on that account was on 10/10/09.
How can they do this?? this is pure thievery, Sportsbook.com thievery all over again!
i am so angry right now i can barely contain myself, sbr, what says you, is this a balatant case of thievery under the sun?
