[Fishhead]

See the thread getting all the hits right now.

Yes, you lost.

 

[shdw01]

Man, shdw, you got bent over sans lube tonight.

No, since the 5th inning was completed, that 5 inning total has action.

yeah, i already expected the loser there...just figured I need to read more fine print

 

[TheWolf]

Looks like 5Dimes, huh?

Good luck getting that back.

 

[Brock Landers]

this has been the rule for a year or two at least now

happened earlier this year in the white sox/orioles game in April

I liked having Philly graded as a winner here LOL

 

[shdw01]

actually this is with a local that has bets put in through an online account....if this were $500 instead, i think I'd try and talk him into giving me either a push or a freeroll for the remainder of the game.

 

[cutacrossshorty]

This is the 3rd or 4th game this season where that rule came into play.

 

[KeithRichard]

My bets at Matchbook are still listed as current bets. One bet I got in just before game started and the others were live bets made later. All are listed as still pending. Shouldn't the live bets at least been canceled?

Yeah, the live bets will be cancelled.

 

[TheWolf]

MB has not graded anything yet.

I'm sure according to their rules, TB bets will lose htough.

Live bets will be cancelled........another stupid rule to cancel those yet grade the others.

 

[TheWolf]

Any chance MB lets these bets ride out until end of game? No grades have been issued yet.

They told me on live chat that all live betting is no action. It has to be, because their rules are right at the top. He said he wasn't sure if they would have live betting available for the game tomorrow. But my guess is that they will.

Here is a sanario,your an agent your novice i.e. square clients are pissed and threatning to bolt.

You have to pay him and throw him a Bonus Play it's just good business.

Mean while your paying the winners and they don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Your out thousands of dollars but wtf you gonna do.

 

[PomH8er]

This is correct.

Horrible situation for bookies. No way many get out in profit on this one.

A year or TWO ? Try the last 50 years.

 

[kidslick]

maybe they will make an exception

this is the

world series

betjamaica graded my wager as a loss.

 

[Tico]

I disagree with the postion that the game should be graded differently from how all other baseball games were graded during the course of the year. This game is special, yes. But the argument could be made by anyone that a certain game is special. Those of us who lost will not be happy... but it is the only fair thing to do IMO. Messed up situation no doubt...

 

[cashflowmatters]

5 Dimes graded game as NO PLAY. Any Book that graded it anything but NO ACTION should not be bet with in the future.
