Response by SBR Moderator Optional: Their base unit is decimal.
So you could be saying that they always round up for American odds. Instead of saying they always round down for decimal.
But you are wrong anyway, they dont just always round down for either type. They round normally and it works out even for everyone in the long run, as their CS said.
Every book that offers Dec/US odds has this issue when converting btw.
------------------
I noticed recently that the odds provided by Betcris are different if you use decimal odds vs american odds.
for example i just checked an odd that was -152, which converts to 1.65789. if you enter a wager of $1000 the payout is $657.89 which it should be. However remove that from the cart, switch to decimal odds and enter the same $1000 at 1.65 and they round down the payout to $650.00 !!
Here is my first reply from betcris when i complained:
However Luke was wrong. The odds are never rounded up only down, so they are keeping money on EVERY decimal transaction! And while most American's are used to working with American odds, i work in decimal, and shouldnt be forced to use an unfamiliar odds system to get the same price.Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
Thank you for the suggestion It will be review by management however it works both ways when is rounded up or rounded down in some occasions it was rounded up to benefit you. Is better if you use the American odds instead.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Luke
I replied with the following:
to which i received the following over a month ago:Hi i compared some American vs Decimal odds on your site and they are all rounded down, never up.
For example -122, $1000 pays $819.67
Converting to 1.81 $1000 pays only $810
Please consider calculating decimal odds to 3 or more decimal places as other sites such as Pinnacle and 5Dimes do. Also BetOnline.ag displays 2 decimal points but still calculates the payout to 5 or more decimal points. It is not desirable to use American odds. Thanks, Randy
Havent heard anything since and still have to use american odds on betcris as they are still rounding down the decimal odds.Dear Customer,
