Does anyone have experience with in-game bettign at Intertops? I'm lookign at this for the first time and they have a SCARY rule:
"Bets placed within 5 seconds of a score or other event that may affect the result will be considered void"
Every damn play could be considered an event that effects the result...that's the whole point of in-game betting! Does Intertops use this rule to actually screw people???

D2, that's one rule I'd avoid - just the fact they'd post such an ambiguous rule means I'd not bother - who needs to give a book that kind of power?
But let's talk about the Cubs, shall we? 7 out of the last 8, and gee, their bullpen hasn't cratered. And they seem to be in the lead in their division? Come on, give me some!

They had to add the 5 second rule. For last years superbowl you could cue up a bet and click it before they pulled the line.
When you click to confirm a bet it takes 5 seconds to get a confirmation. That prevents betting on a team to score when you know they just picked off a ball and are in the process of running it back for a score. I did that 3 or 4 times in the superbowl last year; easiest money I ever hit.

Agreed, D2 - it's not the score that bothers me, it's the 'other event'. So on a 3rd and 25 with a game on the number you decide to bet the team on defense just before the snap, the other team fumbles and your team jumps on the ball at the 3, late 4th quarter. You didn't know that would happen, you simply bet the percentages if the book was stupid enough to have this on the board (extreme example, most would never have had this OB). Does the book get to void the bet?
Don't know, don't care - not interested in betting into a book with the rule D2 posted.
