Bowman rant

[mls]

Can't say I use Bowman much anymore but I did think Gary Bowman was supposed to have corrected that "quote a line then renege problem."

Called today. Got a line, and said OK I'll take a nickle. Oops, "got to get approval" ... "sorry bet rejected, line changed".

OK, my fault for trying Bowman again ...

The biggest joke was that I would often be told that someone had beaten me to the number. That would even happen on non-steam games during dead times. Instead of the BS charade, they simply should have said, "Buddy, you're a wiseguy and we ain't givin you nuthin."

[krackman]

I feel the same way guys.Last month I was told by the new Manager on the phone the following after asking why I was put on the wiseguy lines "You are on these lines because you are saying bad things on bettorsworld about us and if you keep it up we will throw you out all together" So better yet I just pulled my $ out of there.
Just as well because they have since lowered there limits considerably. You used to be able to bet $500 on a prop and then call back and re-bet it after they adjusted there line but now it is $300 PER ACCT.
But they do pay so I guess they are good for the person looking to watch and bet $50-100 on a Sunday ball game.

krackman, how does Bowmans know what you've posted here?

[krackman]

I really don't want to acuse anyone of foul play but the few people I talk to on instant messenger or ICQ had to of dropped a dime. It is my own fault for giving out my name to some but you live and learn.

I've had an account with Bowmans for
3 years and have given them more action
than any other book but now ive decided to
let my account run dry for good it's one
think for a book to be phone only but the
crap with their line "moves" is too much
they do it to me on $300 bets especially
before game time when you just want to get it in. I know they pay and promptly but
besides that they are unuseable

Why would a real player use them they use a 20 cent line.

[krackman]

You said it max. The one thing I still cannot fathom is why they don't want to take a bet like they used to.What I mean is they have the upper hand as far as the juice goes .They charge 30 cents on props 20 cent on baseball and they are still afraid.

it is not going to be too hard to work out who people are from postings, for sportsbooks


It has happened to me.....

[sportshobby]

Do you mean that they can record your IP when you log onto their online wagering system, and compare to here?

It seems to me that Bettorsworld could keep these IPs internally for verification, without posting them on the forum. I understand their purpose, but I don't think it's necessary to post them for the world to see.

But then skeptic wouldn't be able to sniff out the shills for us

[AussieVamp2]

they could do that, or work out who they are by what they say and actually using their brains
