The 4 team reverse box self styled wise guys are the worse. Followed closely by the leave every parlay and teaser open types.

Hmmmm

Toughest to deal with....hmmmmm

In general, I think it depends a whole lot on who the clerk is, once you've done it enough, its very difficult to fool you, however some still try....

There are some however which can be a pain in the ass to deal with. For example....

1) Those who call in right after the game has started even though the game has been up for hours or possibly days *such as NFL or CFB*

2) Those who read a line of -4 on their local paper, call in and are offended when we read em a line of -9 *if they bitch too much we can kindly suggest they call their local paper and try to get them to book their action, we wont*

3) Some asian people can be very difficult to understand. It took me like half an hour once to understand what the customer wanted.... For the first 29 minutes I kept understanding Denver, who? Denver, who? Denver, who? Ohhhh..Stanford.......Yes, Stanford....

4) Opening up an account for a guy whose name actually turned out to be: Lemon Ng

5) Those who bitch that the final score was not 101-99 but 101-89....but Yahoo had 89...*yes sir but yahoo doesnt take any action*

6) Those who bet a cricket match with a line of -2000/+1500 BACKWARDS in like 36 different kind of wagers *parlays to arena football, to basketball, etc etc* and claim they had no clue the line was actually the other way around

7) Those that are too drunk to make out what they're trying to say...

8) Horse bettors that dont know the name of the horse or the number....

9) The guy that called in and said a wager should be no action because the game was not played on the day it was supposed to.... It was a midnight game, Hello!

10) Can I have my bet on the pistons cancelled? Sure, why not you're a good customer, have no previous problems with us, I'll cancel it. A minute later, Don Best reads Ben Wallace is going to sit.....GRRRRRRR

11) I dont know why my bet lost. *sir, the line was -5.5, they only won the game by 4.* Yes but they won the game, he says.

12) Those who refuse to understand why you cant parlay the 1h to the game...



I personally dont like those who think they're the only ones that know what they're doing and Im just some dumbass in a third world coutnry that has never watched an NFL or NBA game....

Oh and those who bet such OBSCURE horse tracks I could have sworn they didnt even exist and it would take me days to find the results... For a while I thought this person was going to set up his own website with fake horses, fake results, etc etc and hammer on the winners

i know you guys can get some real a-holes sometimes..and it can test your patience......

maybe there is someway you could "mark" the accounts of the "un-educated/a-holes/run down the board on sat. type of players"...that way you could prepare for whats in store....
