Well I feel ripped off again by good old Bookmaker. Last year I had a bet on which team would be penalized first with both Bovada and Bookmaker. I forget the actual team but what happened is there was a penalty on the team I didn't select however the penalty was declined. Then there was a penalty on the team I selected. Bovada gave me a win while Bookmaker called it a loss. It's pretty standard knowledge that a declined penalty doesn't count, but not at Bookmaker.
This year I had two bets on the Gatorade bath color with Bookmaker and one color with Bovada. Since there was no Gatorade bath the prop result is a push. That's what I got from Bovada but Bookmaker choose to give me two losses. After taking it on the chin with the huge comeback by New England and the backdoor under loss I was looking forward to possibly getting a reprieve from the Gatorade with the high odds. I was disappointed when it didn't happen but it's a real kick in the balls to find out I got a loss.
This comes on the heals of finding out the only way to get a payout from Bookmaker is with a fee. (there is the bit coin option but do I really have to learn how that process works just to avoid a fee?)
To throw in one more gripe I can't tell you how many times I thought I put in a winning wager only to find it not appearing as a bet the next day. I assume this comes from that extra step of confirming the bet. I know that's something that would be my fault however there were times I swore I saw bet confirmed. That extra step gives them the opportunity to say it never appeared because it leaves room for doubt. Believe me when that happens it's the epitome of frustration, and why is it that never happens when the bet is a loser?
Needless to say I won't be returning to Bookmaker anytime soon.
Bottom line these guys aren't our friends.
