Something that is very peculiar to me. (And don't ask me to call them b/c I've done that before)

At some books I am blocked for a certain method.... and then at other books I am okay for that particular method. Odd, no?

What is really odd, though, is at one book I've been blocked for a certain method for a long time... and then I ask them again recently and now they say it's okay. ??? It has nothing to do with the method.


Btw, on the BM site they give you the 3 level of points... but tell you to call to get more details. I think they'd do better to just put on the site, "Bitch, we aint gonna tell you so you gonna have to call."

Weird situation. I was looking for some quick action (1252pm) and opened up the site and chose two bets for a parlay before the 1pm start times for both matches.

A few minutes later I pull up some scoreboards and it turns out the 1pm volleyball match actually started at 12pm and they were about 3/4 of the way through the 2nd set. I called them up and they said they'd advise grading department.

I checked back a couple times after both were final (both winners) and requested they keep the tennis match winner but void the volleyball match as it shouldn't count. (If it had lost, I should've been refunded. If it won [and it did], that volleyball section of the parlay should be voided) They eventually said just leave it and keep the winnings.... ???

It was only a few dollars but I didn't want to be accused of taking a shot in the future. And if it had been a parlay for 1K and the difference was about an extra $500 in the payout.... they wouldn't have let it slide.


The difference in payout should've been 5.06. They just said appreciate your honesty and keep it.

As an aside, I had the over 3.5 sets and the one team was about to go up 2-0 sets on the scoreboard when I saw that this match had actually already started. So it wouldn't make any sense for me to take a -245 over wager if I were trying to take a shot. As it turned out, the 3rd set was won by the other team and they finished 3-1 FT.

I just started using them for the 1st time a few days ago. If you are eligible, they probably sent you an email for a free casino tournament they have going on this weekend. It ends today..

I get their casino offers and all that stuff all the time but ignore them. Don't do the casino.

Really enjoy the book, though.

Poster across the street cashed in and they paid him in Canadian currency. He said it was a pain. Hasn't played with them since.

Yeah, not sure what happened with that. I was kind of pissed, I had a 8 game win streak. Even worse someone had a 17 game win streak. BM is the best book I have ever had. The only thing I don't like is their teasers. But, I don't play them often.

I had a 8 game win streak as well the day they stopped the contest. I ask them every so often on chat what is going on with the contest and nobody knows anything.

Cash is pretty solid. And incredibly easy. They have 3 options for it.

For smoothness of site I put them definitely ahead of 5dimes and Heritage. Only drawback for me is live options are extremely vanilla and the number of overall betting options is not as extensive. But love the feel. Very nice, very smooth.

And the site doesn't do that one cent off bullshit you'll find at a lot of others sites. For some reason BM always goes down to the exact cent. Not a big deal, but good to see the numbers always add up.


You mean the WU or Money Gram, etc. deposit option? Are they free or is it free over a certain amount?

Anybody fill an open parlay with them?

I added a last team... and it should've upped the winnings by a third... but it still says the win amount is the same.

?

Nevermind. It's correct. Guess it showed a larger amount first. That was weird.

I wish they brought back the streak contest too. The highest I ever got was 12 but it was a fun little side game.

Saw where someone said to never use a credit card for depositing, just wondered why that would be? Hard to get a payout or what?

One poster told me some time back, that he had won a significant amount and I can't recall the figure, but they required him to go to another state to get paid... and I believe the guy.
As for a credit card, they caused me to have to close 2 cc's due to fraud ( THAT'S NO FUN) .... Others have had good experiences.
