Lately I had extremely good run at 5dimes and been requesting withdrawals 2 times per month since some time to reduce my exposure there. Latest withdrawal request triggered additional account review and resulted with these adjustments in my balance (they didn't inform me straightly about that, just sent mail with message similar to that you can read in the topic).
All bets adjusted were on obscure markets: Japan Basketball, Rugby Friendlies, Finnish Volleyball, AHL, French Basketball 2nd Division, Polish Volleyball, Brazil Volleyball.
Odds were changed this way:
1,909 -> 1,571
1,571 -> 1,476
3,2 -> 2,8
1,952 -> 1,8
1,606 -> 1,526
1,869 -> 1,357 (don't know how they calculated this one)
3,1 -> 2,85
4 -> 3,5
One bet was also described as backward line, but it wasn't for sure backward - they just had handi set on other line than Pinnacle, but ok - I could understand voiding it.
The problem with so small markets like these is that often only couple of bookmakers offer it and it's hard to define that mythical "fair market price", especially when one big bet can drop the line massively because of low limits.
Now I'm wondering if I'd stick only to bigger markets, they'd play fair and stop these kind of shady tricks.
