Bad Line Reporting Bonuses....

[SportSavant]

I just called Sportbet & reported a Bad Line they had posted & they credited my account with 20$...

I know it is not a big deal but heck, for making a phone call that is great...

I beleive that more books should advertise 'BAD LINE REPORTING BONUSES' on their Front Page....This way they will likely hear about their Bad lines very soon & less likely to have disputes......

I know the new OKLAHOMA has a bad line bonus posted on their Front page....anyone else know of Books that offer Bonuses to report Bad Lines...

 

5 dimes will give you a no juice bet if you report a bad line

I believe you will find the MAJORITY of shops will compensate you for this action.

 

[SportSavant]

perhaps fish, but the thing is not many advertise it predominately...if they did...bad lines would be reported sooner...thus less disputes....

when i was (unfortunately) with V-Wager i got nothing the first 2 times i did it.

i figured that means they didn't care - so from then on - whenever i saw a bad line i played 2-3 times what i normally played and hoped that wouldn't raise red flags - and most of the time it didn't.

Exactly, this is the mentality the player will have if the book does not show that they care...yet if they advertise & honour a bonus they will be much better off...

After all they should only have to pay it once to one or two customers who report it...

some of the more seedy books that hopefuly none of us are playing at hand those "bad lines" to bring in the hit. Then we all know the story later... "sorry sir that was a bad line and your account has been refunded". Bad line are costly and time consuming anyway you look at it.

In retrospect, I could be wrong in saying a MAJORITY do this.

I would probably be more accurate if I just stated that more books do this than one would think.

last week had a over/under for some nba game +800 for over -1100 for under

too many nba games to remember which one

it lasted like a minute

i emailed tham and they did nothing, by the time i checked the line again it was fixed.

for what its worth the under hit anyway.

Books I have informed about bad lines and what I received.

bet aussie free .5 pt
bodog $25
wagerstreet $10

Books I have informed of bad lines, received nothing and I no longer bother to report them.

Bluegrass
Gameday

If I suspect a bad line I always call and have received $20/$25 for it. I once called WSEX and discovered the line was real so got the name of the CSR and bet the line...it lost!

 

[BoZZi]

a while back bodog had a line up for a soccer match that was 60 minutes in....i e-mailed them to let them know about it, all i got was a thank you

 

[ppeter]

Best bonus for pointing out a bad line: Heritage, $100 Bonus Bet.

Worst: Betmaker. Not even a thank you.

 

SportsSavant,

Thanks for the props and thanks for your honesty in regards to the line. Even though I know I probably should not say it....you shoulda gotten $25. LOL. Sooooooo, if you only got $20, let me know and we will put the extra $5 in.

FWIW, when reporting a bad line to Sportbet.com or to IslandCasino.com you will receive a $25 CASH bonus OR we will allow you to wager on the event at that line (depending on how bad the line is and/or the amount desired to wager).

Thanks and best of luck this week!!!

You mean I have been doing it for free and could have been getting paid. I feel so cheap, even used. Thanks Jake. Say hello to Milenna for me please. I may be OMNIVOROUS, but I correct lines for free. But that is a great incentive, good marketing tool. Best Wishes...OF

 

OF,

They are not bad lines until YOU bet em!!! LOL.

Hope things are well, and hope we see you around here shortly!

Jake

Jake,
You guys never post a bad line.

Any idea whenthe NBA props are going up 2day? Gotta make back the money I lost on them yesterday
btw -- can you use a prop bet for best play?

 

Assassin,

Props are normally up by 2 pm EST, at the lastest.

As for the best bet...that can only be used on regular wagers (no props, futures, matchups, etc.).


Gents,

With the hoops season almost over, -105 and free 1/2 pts will no longer be applicable....any ideas on other types of promos that we can run?? Let's keep it realistic, please

Jake

 

[assassin]

thanks Jake

Whatever you do will always be appreciated

Maybe 1 no juice game/day or reduced juice at least (MLB), you could limit the wager size

No sure what 1/2 runs are woth on run line or 5 inning line, may be too expensive an idea

free 1/2 stroke on tourney matchup

how are the puppies. Tell Tommy thanks for everything

 

[SportSavant]

Jake I would love to give you more MLB action...No bonus needed...simply tighten up the lines & perhaps offer us a dime line up to 160 or something like that...
