After reading SBR I noticed a complaint that had been addressed:
I would like to note that this is not Carib's policy, and I recently had a wager deleted along with the threat of theft of my bet (in the form of being graded as an instant loss). Whatever lip service they're paying SBR isn't sufficient to ensure that they're not attempting to outright rob the non-savvy player.
Be warned folks. TIA
caribSports (SBR rating B) confiscates player's $150; cites "line manipulation."
carib allowed the sharp player to wager with a $250 limit but told him that if he bet on both sides of the same game, the second wager would immediately be graded as a loss.
Player: Fast forward til yesterday March 11, I bet the Lakers 2h total over 107 +105 for my max ($150) and another time at over 107 -105 for 157.50. Minutes later I bet under 107 +105 for $150 deciding to shorten my position. The third and last bet of under 107 was graded a loss with the game still going. I have used a wide array of bookies but noone has been giving me troubles with this. Had they cancelled all wagers right away I wouldn't have said anything but in my opinion grading pending bets as losses before the outcome is known is theft .
SBR has asked Carib Sportsbook to refund the player for the wager he did not lose and to decline service to those who do not abide by rules or have desired wagering patterns. carib will remain under review while this case is pending.
