I have an even better one for you Fish. I'll guarantee you've never heard of anything like this unless you experienced this yourself at Bodog:
Typical phone call at Bodog when trying to bet over the limit:
Me: I'd like to get Game #XXX for $1000. I know the limit is $500, can I get more on the game?
Bodog: One moment sir {about a minute passes}. Sir, I spoke to the lines manager. He said you could have $500 on the original line of -125 and an additional $500 on a line of -135. Would you like to do that?
Me: No, just let me have $500 at -125
Now, if the above happened to you then you would expect the line to go to -135 after you bet the limit $500 right? Cause what the linesman was really saying was "OK we'll take $500 at -125, but then we're going to move the line to -135 to encourage action on the other side." That sounds very reasonable to me, but you'd be dead wrong in assuming that LOL.
I go to check the line online and what do I find? Still -125. Check it an hour later, still -125 LOL. WTF? It's not that they actually wanted to move the line after they let me have $500, they just want
me to pay the extra juice if I want to bet more than $500. Anyone else with an acct can get -125 all day long.
That is some crazy ****
And it happened every single time I tried to bet over the limit.......
