On November 11th, of 2022 I placed a wager at BetOnline that Donald Trump would be indicted. I got the YES price at +150. What's important to know about this wager is, I placed this wager 7 days BEFORE Special Counsel Jack Smith was assigned to the investigations. Once Jack Smith was assigned on November 18th, the YES Line at BetOnline moved to +110 on November 19th, as you can see in the screenshot below, taken from a thread here at SBR:
As you can see, the date of the post is 11-19-2022. This is exactly 8 days after I made my wager. The Line has now moved 40 cents, and it's because of Jack Smith, that's to be expected. But here's the main thing you need to pay attention to here, see where it says TRUMP INDICTED BEFORE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION.
Well, that's what I thought my wager was for as well, because it made sense for the price I got, as well as all the other Line movements that I also posted in the same thread. Well, come January, I noticed my wager had disappeared. So I went into BetOnline chat and asked them where my wager went. And they told me it had been removed due to a "Bad Line". And I was like WTF?? Then the next day I got this email from them:
"This is Leroy from the Solutions Team and I hope you are doing well.

But as it turns out, they never cancelled my wager at all. They graded it as a LOSS as seen below.
Now what I can't figure out is, how in the hell do they expect this wager to cash in 59 days WITHOUT a Special Counsel in place, and they price it at +150???? Especially considering in the HISTORY of the U.S. there's NEVER been a former President indicted EVER. They knew damn well, that my wager, just like ALL the rest of the wagers being offered at BetOnline, were "Trump indicted before Next General Election." I highly suspect that they didn't payout to anyone that happened to bet NO on November 11th.
I filed a complaint to BMR on March 6th, but I never heard anything back from them. Initially, I filed a complaint due to the "Bad Line", because that's the BS BetOnline was telling me initially, until I realized they actually graded it as a Loss. I just wanted my wager reinstated, that's it. OR at the VERY least, for them to give me my money back.
The +150 price I got is consistent with all the other prices that stated "Trump indicted before Next General Election." And keep in mind, I placed my wager 7 days BEFORE Special Counsel Jack Smith was assigned to the case. So what do you think, did they screw me?
