Potential Problem With A Sponsored Book

[kidman232]

I was dicking around on the first nfl pre-season games yesterday and bet some props really small for the hell of it. The one prop in question I bet sidney rice 1st catch over 9.5 yards (the prop stated must play) no catches equals under. I have looked on both cbs and espn and both sites had sidney rice as being inactive (didnt notice that till during the game). This book is arguing that sidney did infact play and didnt have a catch. Did anyone see him play or hear them talk about him? i had the game on for a bit and never saw him. Like i said, its not the amount that bothers me, just the fact i think they are grading inproperly

he was on the sidelines, I know he talked with a reporter and Tavaris Jackson during the second half....I was watching that a bit being a vikings fan and two former players talking....cant swear to it but I think Rice was dressed in a football uniform,

 

[kidman232]

espn, yahoo, and cbs all have him as being inactive and saying he will make his debut later in pre-season. nfl.com has him listed as a sub in its gamebook pdf and that is where they say they get their info

looks like he was out......

this is why I hate props that can be interpreted.

this is the link they keep using to me saying he played

I don't think he played - from Yahoo sports.com and NFL,com:

The Seahawks signed Jackson as a free agent last month to replace Hasselbeck, Seattle’s starter for the past decade. Although he spent the past five seasons in Minnesota with new Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, Jackson had just five practices with the Seahawks before his preseason debut with starting receivers Sidney Rice(notes) and Mike Williams sitting out.

Email me at person19481950@yahoo.com Kidman if you don't get this sorted out and I will contact the book if it is one of our sponsors.

Thanks, wil..

thanks wil, they said they are reviewing it again. The amount is so small, i really don't care, like i said i was just bored and goofing around. but what worries me is when its regular season and I am betting more, whether intentional or not, they need to grade bets with the correct information.

From the Seattle Times Sports Section in today's edition. See bottom of article where it says NOTES.

Notes
• WR Sidney Rice did not play because of a bruised shoulder that was not characterized as serious. Wide receivers Mike Williams (toe), Kris Durham (hamstring) and Ben Obomanu (undisclosed) also did not play, leaving Golden Tate and Isaiah Stanback as Seattle's starters.

[kidman232]

wil- sent you an email with my info. hope you have better luck than I did

 

[Willye]

Lol... If you bet under they would of graded it a loss and said he was inactive... This still hasnt been cleared up for you? If so this book is mickey mouse

 

[wilheim]

I will address this tomorrow (Saturday). Without a doubt Rice dressed but did not step on to the field during the game which defines if he played or didn't play...

I am confident the right thing will be done here..


Stay tuned, wil..

Kidman, your bet will be refunded within the next 30 minutes..The book is regrading the prop a no bet due to Rice not playing.


Best, wil.

Very great how you can help all us on the forum out like this, just wish this wasn't needed and for books to try and treat the customers fairly.

But still great to see how much this forum helps everyone out

Looks like sportsbook.com to me

 

[kidman232]

the book was sportsbook.com . Special thanks to Wil for being so quick and helpful getting the matter resolved. I hope they fixed it for everyone who played the prop and not just myself. Thanks again wil.

thats the reason i like them, they typically offer straight up props, chris johnsons over 85.5 yards etc. where as bookmaker and other books i use love to do fantasy props, chris johnson -10.5 yards vs mcfadden (which i dont like)
