HELP!! Can you guys explain this ... Looks like the software made an error in my parlay payout.

[Rude]

Hey Guys,

Check this out and see if you get the same amount that I get, cuz what is below is what my book had and what they payed out.

843353 5 Team Parlay risking 50.00 to win 2,410.71
0057 CAROLINA HURRICANES +½ (+135) on NHL CANADIAN LINE [2,0] Win
Total Und 5 0057 CAROLINA HURRICANES/0058 BOSTON BRUINS (+105) on NHL CANADIAN Win
0062 COLORADO AVALANCHE -1½ (+130) on NHL CANADIAN LINE [1,6] Win
0067 BUFFALO SABRES +½ (+145) on NHL CANADIAN LINE Pending
Total Ovr 5 0067 BUFFALO SABRES/0068 LOS ANGELES KINGS (+120) on NHL CANADIAN Pending
$ 50.00 $ 2,410.71


Ok so here is what I got,

CAR 2.35 x UNDER 2.05 x Col 2.30 x Buf 2.45 x Under 2.20 = 59.72 x Wager of $50 = $2986.12


So how come it only pays $2410.71

What gives ???

call your book and ask

 

[sickgambler]

Ok, definitely your payout is $2986.12, and not $2410.71. There really is no explanation to this. I don't think a computer can screw up odds that easily.

Maybe they capped your parlay to some maximum payout. I don't know.. I don't play parlays, so I can't really tell you here.. You sure you have this parlay written correctly? I mean, if you have 2 games written wrong by 5 cents, that could be the difference of 500 dollars.

Give em a call, and fill us in. I am curious to know how this happened. Good luck..

I'll keep you guys informed.

Just a software error. I am sure it will be corrected.

Good luck

 

[Chadster]

they may have adjusted odds as you are betting all dogs

 

[sickgambler]

I just remembered this thread, and we never got the answer as to why this parlay was shortchanged, there was no explanation to it at all. Could this have all made sense now as to why GA shortchanged RUDE... And did they ever fix that error, and what was their explanation now. I hope Rude can come in and tell us what was their reasoning and if they fixed it, not that it matters now..

 

[Chadster]

He needs to rollover the payout 5x before being paid the difference in the correct payout.

 

[Rude]

Hey Sick,

I really didnt get an explanation as to why I was short changed. I just wanted it corrected, and Freddy did just that.

Ya It sucked that we had to Roll Over Our Money 5x, but like I have been posting this past weekend, that mission is almost complete.

I will have the 5x Rollover complete after my wagers tonight. I'll start Cashing out tommorow and then again on Wednesday.

[IntuitionBET]

Rude great job! You did that fast.

Why don't you just keep your money at Royal/GA and keep playing?

 

[Rude]

Intuition BET,

Yes I did roll it over fast. I got Lucky what can I say.

And yes I will keep some and will continue to play, cuz Royal from what I know and from what evryone says, "It's A Great Safe Book"

So I'll leave a little, and If things still look good 3-6 months down the road, like just before March Madness, I will re-deposit.

The smart thing to do, is take some out.
