Some people here think that my actions were questionable. I have been a respected poster here for almost 2 years and I try to contribute to the site. I may be a sharp player but I was not trying to pull a fast one on anyone especially in this case. I made wagers on a legitimate line and they were accepted. I did not violate any rules on their site, nor did I exceed any clear limits on wagering amounts. The book admits they did not cancel my wagers until after the match was over.
Ironically, I asked books to CLARIFY their limit policies a YEAR ago:

I have never asked a book to refund my losing wagers because I went over the limit, and in this case -- no one knows that there even WAS a limit! Steve himself said he wasn’t sure how much to allow me to bet. Even so, if they had just cancelled the wagers BEFORE the match began, I would have very well understood because it was a large bet on a sport they don’t focus on.
Why the bizarre betting pattern? I HAD to place the bets with different amounts. Their software wont let you place the same bet twice in a row and Jay Cohen even TELLS people how to use the exact same method I used to place the bets. If it took me 2 hours or 2 minutes they were obviously aware of this method since the beginning and it was not taking advantage of a mechanical error. Did I exceed the limit? THERE WAS NO LIMIT!!!!
As for my personal information, if my number changes, is updating my WSEX account really the first thing I am concerned about? One thing is for sure and that is that my contact information has not been updated since December and if I had been planning this all along as a way to scam the book and thought ahead that they would not be able to contact me I would have been making a LOT of assumptions – such as the fact that they wouldn’t just cancel the wagers anyway regardless of whether my phone number worked.
If that isn't enough, lets face it, the nature of this business is shady. The last thing I want is to be in jail next to Jay Cohen. I am sure I am not the only person who is discreet with their personal information.
Steve could strengthen his case if he could show logs or some other computer evidence that the wagers were indeed cancelled before the match, as his first response says. Emails saying, “We are only honoring $500 of your Manchester United wagers” would help. Phone records showing the number on file was at least attempted before the match began. I am not calling Steve a liar but he was grossly negligent in his job at BEST.
Please keep this thread focused on MY INTEGRITY.
