    Stryyke cancels winning NBA wager citing suspicious betting patterns

    Stryyke cancels winning NBA wager citing suspicious betting patterns

    Stryyke (SBR rating D-)     has canceled a winning €50 wager on an NBA game played on April 7th between the Boston Celtics and Toronto Rapters. The line opened Boston -1.5 and closed at -5.5. A Stryyke player wagered Boston at -143 for €50. Two days after the bet was settled, Stryyke voided the play citing "suspicious betting patterns" on the match.

    Toronto's best player (Chris Bosh) got injured the night before (not sure what time the game started but it was 2 minutes into the game). The line move was obviously mostly due to that...

    Right, whether Stryyke fell asleep at the wheel or was just naive as to the reason for the line move, either way all bets need to stand.

    Too bad bro..
    This kind of things should not happen..
    Especially if a given odds has been confirmed on both ends..
    well.. if they can give a more understandable explanation then it might help..
    goodluck..

    Stryyke (SBR rating D-) addresses canceled bet.

    "Our betting team and risk management decided to cancel the bet because of fraudulent pattern. For your personal information, all the betters on the event placed bets only on one team. This pattern is defined as suspicious and the game is cancelled."

    So basically they reserve the right to cancel any game in which they have one-sided action. Nice.

    Yep. Unfortunately nothing surprises me with Stryyke anymore, they've graduated from simple slow-pays into unjust cancellations, and in other cases which will be reported on soon confiscation of funds, allegations of chipdumping, etc. There's no shortage of reasons why Stryyke is a D- rated sportsbook.

    If all the bets would have lost, would they still have cancelled them?

    As I have mentioned many, many... times this bookie should be rated as F.
    Except of no pay ( i don't say slow pay, i say NO PAY because there are a lot of unpaid customers that never complained in SBR or LGA and lost their money), they cancel bet because in the nights nobody is watching the odds and they run in big risk. So in order to avoid big losses they take such actions.
    STAY AWAY FROM STRYYKE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE YOUR MONEY!!!

    Stryyke are getting really desperate. I fear the worst if they have a bad World Cup - results wise.

    Stryyke are really hardcore-They will waste time until they didnt confiscate all funds-Maybe they try to stay online only because of they go offline someone will submit complaint to the police.
    I was first before 2 years who submit complaint agaunst them and 2 years later i was right about Stryyke's reputation and ambition.

    I think I liked SBR's chances better when they sent in a bulldozerdog to deal with crooks. A chihuahua doesn't quite have the same impact.

    Yeah, these don't sound like D- reasons, these sound like F reasons.
