Prop Bet Ruling On Mnf Game.

[TheWolf]

OK, here it is. I took Zack Miller -12.5 yards receiving over Daniel Graham.
Zack Miller finished with 34 yards receiving. Graham had 0. Easy winner, right?

Book is saying both had to have action. Since Graham didnt the bet is cancelled. Huh??????

To my knowledge, Graham played in the game but just had 0 catches as he mainly blocked. He wasnt on any injury lists nor was he a late game scratch that I know of.

Every prop bet Ive ever made, it was always "both must play for action."
Just because Graham didnt catch any balls doesnt refer to "action" in my book. If Graham did not play in the game then I know it is a cancelled bet. However, if he played but had 0 catches, that bet is a winner.

This is BS IMO. I know damn well that if Miller had 9 yards receiving and Graham 0, then my bet wouldve been graded a loss.

I will not mention the book yet in case this is honestly how these get graded and I am out of line. Ive never seen one get graded that way though. Id love to hear thoughts about this cancelled bet.

If Daniel Graham played you should have a winner.

 

[TheWolf]

Graham played as far as I know. He didnt catch any balls though and they are using the play by play from the boxscore as their criteria. Graham is mainly a blocker there now as Denver has two pass catching TE''s.

Don't lose any sleep over it.

If you're right, the prop graders should fix it in the AM once they go over things.

It happens

 

[TheWolf]

Thanks. The CS agent is trying to tell me that ACTION refers to the guy catching a ball in the game! When we all know its "both players must play for the BET to have ACITON." Unless Im missing something here.

Here, just found this. Graham went out as a Captain for the coin toss.

Raiders' Captains: #2 J. Russell; #9 S. Lechler; #89 R. Curry
Broncos' Captains: #6 J. Cutler; #24 C. Bailey; #55 D.J. Williams; #83 M. Leach; #89 D. Graham

 

[TheWolf]

They have told me the wagering department says its a cancelled bet and that theyve checked three sources. Thats total bs.

 

[TheWolf]

Need to go to sleep. I sent them the above link that he was on the field so we'll see what happens in the morning.

You don't even have to say the name of the book - there is one shop that always plays angles on props and you get nowhere when you escalate the issue...you just learn to only make plain bets there. Sad, really.

Working in a book,you deserve your money.D Graham played,which means you have action.

 

[JakeT.]

You deserve the cash as far as I'm concerned. Good luck.

 

[Geoff101]

whats the name of the book, so as to avoid!

 

[Santo]

I had Miller also and have it graded as a W.

 

[patswin]

You should win this bet if he played

 

[oldirtyku]

You need to get paid and I need to avoid the place if you don't.

What book?

 

[primetime21+]

Whatever book this is, we should all avoid it.

If you don't know what book this is, you haven't been reading this forum enough.

Not that this is right. But when they say Action on both players, I've heard that a Pass Must be thrown to that player.
Even if he doesn't catch it. He could be 1 Att 0 rec

So since they never threw to him, they will say there was No Action.

Again, not saying this is right. But it just might be your answer from the Book.
