I will keep your sage advice in mind.


I know you actuaries have a deep understanding of the human psyche, plus I think being an actual actuary is like the second best job a guy can have in the US. Congrats.

JAKETHOMPSON you are a joke. If they didnt know the bets were going thru then why do they claim they sent the players multiple warnings? Get your head out of your ass!!! There are a few books like SB, Royal, betUS,BOSetc... who look for any excuse not to pay winners. Then there are books like WSEX, Betonline, Heritage, etc... who are professional and always do whats right in a situation like this. It was the books error and they should swallow it. Is this the first year of college football betting? of course not. Then their rules and system should have been working long ago. Stop excusing this outright thievery Wil! It gives the RX a bad name and makes it really obvious that all you care about is your money !!!

Acutaries???

I run a big insurance agency in Florida and if you ever in town I will introduce you to my staff and my sales force.Being a top dog gives me alot of time to delegate and than come on here to see what you are up too.:dancefool

Regardless I was trying to atleast be understanding to the spot you personally are in but you come back with some attempt to rip me.

No worries continue on your fight and I will not try to be kind again...

You know, the sports betting world would be a hell of a lot better place if instead of arresting JC, the U.S. government put him in charge of overseeing online wagering.

I've never met the guy and I'd trust him like I trust a bank.

Some of you people here are crazy. What Sportsbook did is theft. They took a shot. They knew what was going on. They have been in business for 10 years and in 10 years you mean to tell me every other book has found software to block certain parlays but sportsbook was too dumb to be able to do so?

Spin it how ever you want. I guarantee you sportsbook loses well over $180k in this decision.

Why do you always think I am being hard on you? You said you were in insurance so I figured maybe you are an actuary which is a good thing:


How did I know you are the man in charge. Try gaining some self esteem (you can find all kinds of self help books on the subject) and you will not be so sensitive to what people say to you.


In the meantime I hope your insurance company has a good year.

Maybe we both need them self help books huh :pope:

<HR style="COLOR: #fdde82" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Thank you for being fair, we don't see enough of that imo. Anyway I know WSEX has worked hard to get back to a top tier book and imo they have done it. They remain a great out and have an upper-managemnt group that is not afraid to get on the phone and deal with a lowly forum moderator to fix a situation immediately which for me means a lot.

That said, I have very few reasons to even call WSEX these days, which is a good thing for all concerned.




Thanks, wil..

It really does not matter what sportsbook does at this point. They might as well keep the money.

I can not see anyone ever trusting these guys again.

History tells us that usually a book pulls a few shenanigans like this, slow pays, stiffs, etc before they go under or disappear. If your business is booming, no way in hell do you cause this type of public relations nightmare. You do this as a last ditch effort.

How do you justify that a couple of the sites within this family of books have done the right thing and given the few players affected on their sites their money back form this bullshit???

And by their definition that was up for a correlated parlay you could rule that you can't parlay 2 different football games together because each game involves a bunch of guys moving the same type of object around scoring the same way in both games.

Fuck if only all books could get away with this bullshit.

You say that it is because of an error on the site that people took advantage of huh? Again a bunch of sites offered these last year, Pinny, WSEX, 5Dimes etc. etc. etc. but they all saw this was a huge loss for them so they FIXED their sites to block these parlays at a certain % on dog/under fav/over. It isn't anyone's fault that the Sportsbook family is a year later getting around to finally adjusting their sites to this. And from a web designer / program developing standpoint this type of change could be made correctly within an hour to such a sites interface.

But hell a $2 aids infested crack whore could advertise on this site if she made her advertising payments on time. Don't worry folks, in a couple months when sportsbook.com and family quit paying up for ad space on this site like it looks like they have defaulted on a couple others their banners will be removed from here because of a "change in heart" since their players were robbed.

Believe me, there will always be some idiots who play with them because of a large bonus or a free half point on Fridays. people like JJGold or even the forums here will keep them as sponsors. Nobody cares about the players!

This book knew they were taking these bets. They did so for at least 5 years.

Either they are the dumbest people on the planet or it was a business decision for them.

Smart bettors got their parlay limits cut to $1.

Yet many dumb bettors I am sure played anti correlated parlays giving the house a huge edge.

Sportsbook ran into problems when it ramped up its totals on CFB this year. They got hit hard by some smart bettors faster than in the past when only 3-4 games were worth doing each week... Thus it was no longer a good business decision.

This is the only reason you can still bet correlated parlays now - lots of idiots keep playing the anti correlated ones.

They have no problem blocking Indians to win the ALCS and Indians to win the World Series.

I am sure they could block these if they WANTED to.


-Sean
:nohead:

ya....they dont need to block those bets....cause those bets translate into profit for this sportsbook

it seems to me they knew what was going on....they were making money off of "dumb" bettors

but then they got hammered by some "sharp" bettors

bad gamble on their behalf....

oh wait....this is offshore....they can make their own rules :think2:
