You can still bet it !

No action at Matchbook live betting. I'm sure the rules are the same at WSEX.

 

[Doug]

my contracts are still pending, and you can bet it right now.

looks like they are calling them valid, or figuring out what to do ?

 

[SportSavant]

its possible they havent figured out what to do yet, pinnacle still has not graded my in running total.

 

[SportSavant]

the LIVE BETS at pinnacle will still stand.

Here is the email I got from pinnacle:

Dear Sir,


Our Live Betting Rules State: "All Live lines are for the complete game score." Therefor all wagers on live betting will stand.

 

[Doug]

This is surprising, I thought that would cancel.

Even stranger is WSEX/ Matchbook.

Matchbook cancels the bets, but it looks like WSEX keeps them ?

I don't really care, if they void or not.

 

[SportSavant]

I got Under 6 and its now 2-2

I bet when it was 2-1 so I would rather have it cancelled, but either way, dont really care

 

[Doug]

What if they don't play until Wed/day ?

bets still stand ?

 

[Doug]

looking at their site, shouldn't these contracts be canceled ? I'd prefer a cancellation now. This sounds pretty clear to me. Am I wrong ?

the game was suspended, not cancelled or postponed.

What sucks about "all trades" is that closed out positions for profit are then lost. Grabbing the Phils before the game, selling when up 2-0. Your profit, on a completely no-risk closed position, is now wiped out! hno:

good point, but isn't that exactly what Matchbook did ? This is a little different, not player vs. player, player vs. WSEX.

MB canceled, right ?

 

[Doug]

postponed before reaching its originally intended length of play,

sounds like what happened to me.

 

[Doug]

WSEX resolved this well.

they gave the choice of keeping the contracts or canceling them.

I had some TB at 21 ( +376)

more Philly at an average of about 66 ( -200)

they let me cancel the Philly contracts, and keep the TB ones !

I'm happy with that.

If you don't call them, the bets stand.
