Bookmaker Parlay rules

[tenman]

I just wanted to let those who like to do total parlays at Bookmaker that their new rule is that they only allow 2 totals in a parlay. I got on live chat and they told me the following: We apologize for the inconvenience, but that is a per management sir since day before yesterday. Their site parlay rules do not state that. They still state the following:
[h=2]Parlay[/h]Two or more teams or totals can be combined to make one wager.

I said that they need to change it in their rules and I also asked if it was a site wide change or just on some accounts and they said it was a site wide change. I left 5dimes for Bookmaker and I hate having to go back but I guess that is what I will have to do.

interesting...never heard of this before.....can someone shed some light as to why they would limit totals?

 

[HacheMan]

Ridiculous

Totals should be treated no differently than sides...

 

[niltes]

rest assured they didn't put this rule in because they were making
too much money on parlays with three or more totals and just felt
really bad for their players.

 

[arniesarmy]

yeah, like totals are so much easier to hit than sides. It's nothing that I would leave Bookmakers for, but it does seem rather odd. Is someone hammering them on totals?

 

[HugeUnderdog]

ncaaBB totals are a LOT more volatile than sides. Stuff moves a ton. Maybe its something that they are not making money on and decided to limit the damage.
I see totals move 4 points at once. I have seen totals end up 10 points or more from opening lines.

The person that I was on live chat with said that she was chatting with other customers at the same time as myself for the same reason. I am not saying that I only play parlays but I like to do one every once in awhile using CBB totals with NHL totals and to say that I cannot use more than 2 totals in a parlay is something I have never heard of before.

I totally agree and I am just wondering why they decided to change their rule but not actually change it on their site is beyond me.

What a fucking joke. I wouldn't play there.

Every bookmaker has different rules and with this will not get anything done. If you register at the bookmaker, it automatically means that you accept their rules.

Haha. I've only been with Bookmaker about 10 days and last night I put in a 6 teamer with 3 totals and it didn't allow me to do the parlay. Well I just thought that was the way it was. So I changed an over on the Duke game (which didn't hit) and put in Duke +5. I hit the 6 teamer which would have been a loss if they would have let me keep the total in it. @)

Massive Guilt will eat away at you tossing turning all night head filled with: "I just don't feel entirely Comfortable accepting this Payout." as you struggle to find what the Honorable Thing would be. To Do. If you have to resort to a Vote on what you should do I Vote: Keep It.

I often wonder how Bookies ever got away with 20 cent Totals in MLB. Then I realize how many mullet bettors are unaware that MLB has 10 cent SIDES and I have my answer.

Haha. Yeah I felt horrible about it. It probably won't take me long to give it back to them anyway.
