Pittsburgh Steelers (+7.5) vs Jacksonville Jaguars for 2nd Half

+570

Could be a $570 mistake for them.

[dananderson32]

jron somthing tells me they will void it ....just a gut feeling

[jron619]

then they can void all my bets.......right

[naught33]

ya man sometimes they catch these things, something as blatant as that im sure they will void, no harm in trying althouh sometimes the books get pissed and threaten to close ur account for betting things u know is wrong...i feel its their own fault and they shouldnt hold u responsible and should at the worst void it but not ban u from the book or anything...i had an incident like this at another book..they left games up too long...one in my favor, which they voided, and one against me, which of course they gladly took my money lol, gl w it bro

[Eaglesfan]

I made a prop bet like that in the world series and they voided it
wasnt pinny though

[jron619]

Well they better let me know here pretty quick. If Jax gets up 14 or so then what

[naught33]

they prob wont catch it or tell u until they go to grade it after the game unfortunately....my guess is on a big fuck up like this they willl catch it bc way too many ppl prob did the same thing u did, so ull more than likely get ur 100 back but u never know...lets hope they are honest and if ur bet should somehow lose they dont stiff u the money and take it and if u win try to void it, im guessing either way its gonna be returned to u without even telling u, itll just show up in ur account prob

[jron619]

Yeah, but this should happen soon. Like before the game ends.......Lets see I will let you guys know.

[jron619]

They just returned the 100 back and I fired off this reply.

OK I got saved, but if I would have won......... Check out the rpely I recieved and my reply back. Have a good night.

Well thats pretty sneaky of you. I think my Pitt -2.5 line for the game was an obivious gross line error or incorrect matchup. I cant belive you can just make a bet disappear like that. It makes me wonder what else can happen. Like I stated eariler that is very sneaky.

The telephone number listed is a non working number. I would like a response before the end of the game please. This was cut and pasted directly from your FAQ page. So if can do that with my bet, than I would like that done to all my bets for this game.

Just out of curosity because I live in Vegas now but, do you guys have the same trouble getting your winnings from online bookies? Such as: pinnacle, bo dog, betonsports and sportsinteraction?

Sportsinteraction is literally the only one I have EVER recieved my actual winnings. Well for the first 2 months it was all going well during the heart of NCAA basketball season then, they made some excuse about my credit card company or something and closed my account. I was up 55 units at the time. hmmmm...

Pinnacle, Bo Dog and BetonSports ALL gave me a huge run around. I'm talking horribly; i'm writing 2 months a piece fighting to get my winnings. BetonSports was the "nicest" of these three, considering they gave me 20% of my winnings. Isn't that nice? Pinnacle and Bo Dog both just refunded my wager because of an "identity error". Even though I supplied them with FOUR picture ID's!, copies of my Drivers license, address proof, phone number proof, anything and everything they wanted. As I watch the news and see how internet gaming is going to be outlawed, I honestly see why. Do you guys have these problems with online casinos?

I hope the government realizes how much money they can make and get some U.S gaming sites on the net.

[Gamehendge]

yeah i think so

[dog]

nshtt:

Pinny is tops when it comes to payouts, I'm surprised to hear you had problems with them. I have less experience with Bodog but they also are considered among the best in the business. Betonsports (back when they were open) were notorious for giving people the runaround on rollover for bonuses, etc. SIA always paid me fast, then they kicked me out after I won close to 5 figures in one week. They have mixed reviews.

jron619:

Pinny once cancelled an NFL quarter bet I made that had the vig reversed, I didn't even know it was bad as the line had just come out. It was like +105 when it should've been -115, not a big difference. These should be cancelled before the game starts regardless.

Hey J. Just about every book makes mistakes and puts up a bad line here and there. I really don't fault Pinnacle in this situation as this happens alot everywhere. It's just the way it is. I feel they should correct it sooner, but most of them, like naught said, correct it when they grade it. I'm pretty sure Pinnacle would of graded it no-action regardless of the outcome. I really can't say that about every book. Some sportsbooks would of took your money even if the bad line didn't cover. I have seen bad/wrong posted lines alot in my 8 years at this. The first time I saw a bad line in my favor I jumped all over it and it was voided, just as I expected. Now, I just stay away or call them and tell them about thier mistake if i like a certain team in that game.

nshtt, dog is right. Pinnacle is probably the most reputable sportsbook online when it comes to being a straight shooter and payouts. Bodog in my opinion, is in the same boat. I'm extremely suprised to hear about your experience with both of them.

BetonSports was crooks, end of story there. I feel real bad about what happened to people who played there and the people who had money in there when they shut down. I warned people here last year about them and all of thier sister books when they bought MVP sportsbook and such.

I must say I have never had any problems with withdrawling money from any online sportsbook, but I have only played at what I feel is the best with no more than 4 figures funded.

No one knows if online gaming will be banned yet. All the news you are hearing is to scare people off before they actually do something about it, if they do anything at all. There is much more important things to take care of in this country then this. If this even gets to the floor for a vote, then I must say that the US priorities are really wacked then ever before, but what else is new.

If the Gov just regulated it, like they do with all other forms of gambling in this country, then they could make a killing, put the money to use in this country and everyone would be happy.

I'm sick of hearing the morals of it all.

People will gamble regardless, it's an American hobby for millions of people. Leave it the same, regulate it or push it more underground. It's thier choice, but it aint gonna stop.

I don't think it has anything to do with morals. It is all because the U.S government can't do anything about getting your winnings. Most of these bookies are licensed in third world countries and out of the U.S's reach. I think the government should license some regulated online bookies here in the U.S. It would me nice to have the option to go into an actual facility to pick up your winnings or at least have an American court or gaming control where you can fight to get your winnings. When your betting 5 figures and 4 figures it's nice to have some secruity.

sportsinteraction sucks, dont use them....i had a few big wagers which i won, they put in my account and then 4 hrs later took my money away and even tho i had the tickets proving i bet the games they claimed there were no such wagers made....never again will i use them...bodog, pinny, 5dimes all are straight up w payouts no problems w them
