    Books that take forever to grade winning bets

    What's your take on these scumbag tactics?

    I just placed various bets on a certain Book Maker and the losing bets are always graded at lightning speed but the winning bets they take their sweet time to grade.

    I don't get why are the books doing that. They should settle the bets asap so you could lose your money and deposit again.

    The bets were graded literally 1 second after they lost. I am betting live on the games.

    Losers are graded automatically. Winners are often checked. Particularly when it is live bets.

    All books would like to grade winners as fast as losers if they can. because as SBRMAN23 said, the faster they grade it the faster you get a chance to bet it again.

    Maybe they should wait for both on live bets. The other day a book had the wrong team favored and I accidentally bet the wrong team as the favorite when thinking I was getting the correct favorite. They graded it as a loser and I had to contact them and wait 2 days for it to be regraded no action.

    If it's only in recent days it's become noticeable maybe it's some internal issue slowing things temporarily... hopefully.

    My usual observation when this comes up in complaints is that if they manually checked losers the same way they check winners the grading process would be slowed more. But that's an interesting one. The book must have missed the error on the winning side initially or they should have voided the entire market themselves by the sounds.
