Hello,

I will try to make this understandable... It's a interesting story.

Long ago during the Black Rhino Casino Fiasco, I had a bet on the world cup. Either way I had $1k to win on Korea for the World Cup I believe.. odds where 8 to 1. Well, a lot of people had their bets cancelled, mine didn't get cancelled, but I was going to do an Arb against it.. Since I didn't get any notification although others has been cancelled, I assumed they missed me, so I didn't Arb. Anyhow it didn't and I had the bet, although they never would answer me... So I had no way of knowing... So before the bet was dead I told them either cancel the bet or tell me if you are going to honor it. They never did and basically I lost $1k because they were holding my bet hostage until it was to their advantage.

So I emailed paypal, since at that time paypal took casinos/sportsbooks etc. They looked into it and dismissed it... I didn't think they would do anything and they didn't. So that was the end of the story.

Recently I decided to play at a casino and deposit $50. I played through and ended up making $104. I tried to cash out and later received an email stating that I had did a chargeback long ago and that not only would my $50 I deposited get taken but so would my winnings. I told the story to them and of course I received no response back. You can easily look in my paypal account and see I have never done a chargeback... It's funny since it was with paypal funds, not a Credit Card.

So now, I am wanted to put some of my sportsbook money into a futurebet sportsbook, but once again if I do, I am sure I will be paying on the imaginary $1k chargeback they said I did.

I just wanted to see if someone here who has some insight could help me out and resolve this matter completely. If not, I just won't play at futurebet, but it's sad since I am the one who has been getting ripped here.

I also have accounts at intertops, betswwts, planetpinnacle.. (Pinnaclesports now).. betgameday, sunny... bodog... greek etc to name a few. I haven't had any real problems with any other sportsbooks.. well besides betmega.. but oh well, that's one for the crapper. If The General or someone else could take some time and look into this I will try to give you anymore info you need.

Thanks

I had brazil 1:1 before the turkey game and they cancelled my bet AFTER the turkey game. Bastards...

Hopefully someone here can help you. It's good to know that futurebet kept your losing bet while cancelling winning ones.

Wack, talk to the Shrink here, Major across the street and check out SBR.COM If none of them can help you, you're probably out of luck.

In some ways I'm glad paypal got out gaming....I was lucky enough to never have to deal with their customer service-since it has been and always will be basically non-existent.

No purpose in trying to contact these guys. They are the low of the industry. Doesn't get any worse.

Paypal are scum. Someone owed me money & decided to send it through Paypal. The first time it was sitting there for 2 days & then I got an email saying the transaction would be reversed since the person claimed unauthorized funds.

After fighting with Paypal & the person, I said to hell with it. Some time down the line the person comes around & decides to send me my money again. When it got there, I used it for some stuff & everything was ok until a month later. The asshole sat here & claimed unauthorized access & they held me responsible saying I owed the money. Well they can kiss my ass that is for sure.

wack,

Thanks for sharing. I have messaged futurebet to see if they will discuss. I am assuming you like the book and want to continue playing there unless they will hold this against you forever.

Please email me as well at your convenience.

Take care

Thanks again for helping people on this board...

Just a note about futurebet.. NEVER play there..

for fun i had 50$ in my account and i had nets +2400 to win the eastern conference. They graded it as a win then a week later made it no action saying the line was wrong. All there lines are wrong.. Up until the quarterfinals they had the starting lines up for the french open and when i notified them they said "oh yeah thanks we forgot to take those lines down".. This was a good week after the thing started.
