question for bookies and bonus whores

[mjred]

if a wager pushes, not cancelled due to weather or other factor, but actual push, tcu -3 first h eg., should the money wagered count toward rollover requirements?

 

[vinividivinci]

Of course. If graded otherwise you will eventually get screwed, just hope for some ky jelly.


VVV

 

[drunkguy]

should count toward rollover, the money was at risk

 

[jerseymike111]

Depends on the book but usually no it doesn't count.

 

[BuckNaked]

how stupid are you guys? of course it does not count. otherwise, everytime you see a pitching change or an obvious rain out you could make a bet knowing it has no chance of action.

 

[Horseshoe]

JerseyMike is right about the reality of the matter, but I agree with DrunkGuy on the morality of the issue, the money was in play to be won or lost with the vig tacked on.

Of course it should count. The problem lies within the software, where most only show win/loss amounts.

But like jEFF fOXWORTHY SAYS, "YOU MIGHT BE A BONUS WHORE IF........."

Most books count pushes as action. Really can't think of one book i've dealt with who wouldn't.

better question might be - how stupid are you?, apparently had some difficulty reading the question as posed

where not count? i have no idea. i never really pay much attention to it as i don't go around chasing bonuses all that often. just happened to get a decent one recently (who didn't) and was wondering what people thought/experienced, as had a push on a wager there today.

It's a good question Red. To me if the first pitch was thrown than they should count it towards rollover requirements. Or the first action in whatever event it may be. The money was at risk. If the game is called or whatever than I don't think that should be used against us or the player penalized.

 

[BrianJames]

Yes it would count for the roll over, at least here it would.

Why are you guys so worried about rollover requirements? If you are playing at a good shop why would you want to take the bonus and run?

Looking for a new account bonus at some other book?

These bonus whores amaze me. Then they post threads like, Grandmastersports stole my money. EXACTLY!

Think like a whore, you get screwed like a whore.

 

[ericdixon]

Should count as action, we are all whores, some just ask a higher price!

By the way Gringo, I'm a "surf whore", money does not do it for me, I get my kicks in the surf!

No, I am not a bonus whore but if it works for some let it go!

"Think like a whore, you get screwed like a whore."

Jay Leno... one of the best posts I have seen here...

 

[R0han1]

I also would like to thank Jay for that philosophical gem.

 

[Halifax]

It wasn't Jay that said it - you guys need to thank Gringo.

 

[BuckNaked]

Very hardto believe any book is that dumb, but you guys take it good for you. I just can't see how a book would count those towards the rollover.

For example, golf message just comes accross DB saying "GEOFF OGILVY WITHDREW PRIOR TO TOURNAMENT (NO ACTION)". I now see both of his matchups are still on the board at most books. I tie up my entire account with bets on and against Ogilvy. This counts?

PS. What book do you work for Brian James? I would like to post up.

 

[GringoinCR]

Thanks for the reconition Halifax.
