i tried to pick up -300 denver -6.5 ---there was a $1500 offer on it

Stacocakes · 03-08-10, 12:03 AM

Wanted to hedge off my Denver bet and guarantee some nice money on both teams but of course matchbook is down so Denver will blow this 17 point lead and I will lose my money on Denver. Just watch

i would do the same - sure thing - but hopefully you hit - looks good now - if you lose not a great compensation but i'll toss you 50 points

i don't think it took when i tried to take the offer - the last balance i seen showed the bet was not confirmed - but still not sure either

tofuman · 03-08-10, 12:41 AM

i hope they roll back all of today's bets.. i would be a happy camper

sdtrader · 03-08-10, 12:42 AM

they certainly should be but based on my horrific experience last year, don't count on it

Stacocakes · 03-08-10, 12:47 AM

By the time matchbook comes back online the game will be over anyways so the pending bets would be cancelled

Betting sites are notorious for dealing in lots of cash, access to quick wire transfers, and using the minimum standards in hardware and bandwidth; which make them perfect for beginner hacker extortionist. The hackers start a DOS (Denial-of-service) attack and then ask for say $25,000 to stop the attack. So, the site either pays or has to do an upgrade and since upgrading takes time, they usually just pay and then upgrade.

You can google DOS attack and find out a lot more about it if you are wanting more information.
