    But again, Sportfanatik stated that "all bets are final" and Patrick stated on this site that they are never beaten to a number and if they are then the bookmakers get fired.

    So if it's a wrong line then they have no case UK200 should be paid. End of story.

      Phil...

      In general, I agree with what you are saying about betting into an off line, although the example you gave (a flipped line making the Pacers a dog at +5.5) is much different than the circumstances surrounding this incident.

      Here you have a case where indeed the line was off, but it is not as if the player where trying to sneak one by and hope no one would notice. He contacted the book both BEFORE and AFTER the wager was placed to confirm the odds and they were confirmed. It would seem as if the player was asking the sportsbook to do a double check, offering the book an opportunity to back out of the deal if they were not happy with the odds they were dealing. The sportsbook affirmed the odds on more than one occassion and confirmed the bet after it was placed. To me, this should be enough to let the player rest knowing that he has a bet.

      I am not at all embarrassed to admint that I know nothing about Dutch League soccer, but I would think Patrick's linesmaker should.

        I have a question that I don't believe has been addressed.....According to Sportsfanatic, the match was POSTED to play on 5/13, however the match was ACTUALLY played on 5/14. My question is this: When Sportsfanatic's system took the game off the board at the "supposed" kick-off on 5/13, was the match subsequently put back up on the board with a play date of 5/14? Surely there must have been some bettors who had no intention of wagering on this game UNTIL the actual game day. If they went to the site on 5/14 (prior to the actual start AND with no knowledge of the 5/13 line), was there a posted line on this game? And, if there wasn't, wouldn't this trigger the bettor to wonder why this game wasn't being offered? If 500+ bettors wagered on this game, did ALL of them make the wager prior to 5/13? I would think that there would be at least 1 individual who would have logged onto his/her pc on the morning of 5/14 with the intent of making a wager on this match, and upon seeing no line, would have called Sportsfanatic to ask why?

        I'll admit that I know zilch about Dutch Soccer, but I can relate to the following scenario: If I wake up Monday morning with the intention of making a wager on the MNF game and discover that there is no line, I would be on the phone in minutes in order to find out why. If they had mistakenly posted the MNF game with a play date of Sunday, would they just NOT offer the game on Monday? Of course not.......They would repost the game with the correct date. Did Sportsfanatic do this -OR- did they just sh!tcan the match altogether?

        On another note, regardless of the date issue, you covered your tracks, called prior to and after your wager for confirmation and received it......You were flat-out cheated. No question about it.....Also, I have read many upon many lame-ass excuses from sportsbooks in this forum throughout the years, but the one offered up by Patrick takes the cake. "We have 200 employees and we cannot be responsible for what they say."......Well, then who IS responsible? The bettor? What a crock of rat guano. Those employees represent YOU and you are responsible for their actions.......Patrick is fully aware that this thread exists but he has chosen not to be a participant. It's because he has been called out and has no case..........

        And, if anybody can clarify this date issue that I outlined above, it would be much appreciated.......

              I had emailed to Shrink@The************.com last week but did not received a reply.

              The amount that I had lost might seem to be a small amount to some of you, but to me , it means a lot.
              I am supporting my wife to pull thru' the last year of her university study. I know I shouldn't gamble, but believe me, I am left with no choice!

                Hi,

                Further to our telephone conversation, I and my friends feel that we need a
                confirmation from you (via email) stating that our bets will be accepted at
                the odds previously offered to us even if the Cambuur-RKC Waalwijk match
                does not kick off at the date and time as scheduled on your website.

                'All sporting events must be played on date and site scheduled unless
                otherwise specified. Sporting events postponed by more than 12 hours and or
                rescheduled, will constitute "No Action," and all money will be credited
                accordingly.'

                The above will not be applicable in this case.

                My 2 friend's username : jasonV


                So what is the actual kick-off time and date for the above match?

                Please reply ASAP.

                I do not know what the other bettors had done to ensure that their bets will stand. But for my case, I was convinced that all my bets of the match was ON!

                  The more I think about it, the more I'm surprised they hung out a number on this match at all, but since they did, how can they not honour it no questions asked?

                  It's their linemaker's problem. I mean, I can start hanging out lines in the Spanish Third Division (or anything else I suppose) but if I make Real Madrid "B" 3.75 when they should be around evens, I can't stiff the players sharp enough to pounce on it.

                  These guys have to pay--and the American sports example of Pacers -5' posted as +5' doesn't wash here. Soccer is a much higher-vig market when you look at any individual shop, but collectively there can be a lot of variance and anybody who uses Crastinum and enough outs can bet most games in most leagues at very little vig. I've seen Real Madrid today in the biggest game of the year anywhere from even to +180 and none of these lines are "wrong". Just yesterday Coral had Brazil -200 when other major places had them -335 or more.

                  If you only want to book Premiership and Serie A, fine. Do that. But if you're going to offer these other leagues, honour the bets that were made and repeatedly accepted until they became winners.

                  Ray: thanks for the kind words, sir.

                    This is completely between you and Okan. He assures me he has been in

                    grader handles all issues at this point.

                    There were numerous other circumstance surrounding this game, too many to
                    go into at this point in time. The match was not played on the date that
                    the bet was placed for and thus all bets are no actioned. I am sorry if
                    you were misinformed, we have over 200 employees and not all of them are
                    110% informed at all times. We try to keep everyone as up to date as
                    possible but we run over 600 wagers a week and that is not always possible.

                    As I stated our decision is final and binding.

                      AYCE,

                      I dont deny that I find good value in 3,60 for Cambuur. Otherwise I wouldn’t bet on it. However I don't consider the odds to be even close to being called ”wrongly priced”. How could you when they win 13 % of their matches at home.

                      Sure there are other sportbooks that has other opinions regarding the odds in this match, but if you start comparing the odds for european soccer, you will find arbitrage of 1-10% frequently. It’s just a matter of different opinions.

                      I would prefer if we could stop talking about the odds. SPF had accepted the price and that is the important issue here.

                        UK2000 - the more I think about it, I'm really starting to come around to your side. Especially reading the emails they sent you. They EXPLICITLY said, ALL BETS ARE FINAL AND ACCEPTED.

                        I hope you get your money because you deserve it. And good job in knowing enough to be able to discern the value in this soccer line. I'm sure it takes a hell of alot of time to run through soccer odds from all these different places.
                        yes

                          Phil,

                          I am now hanging on a thread. I had tried all ways and means to get my money back but Sportfanatik had decided not to honour my bets.
                          And I don't actually agree with some of you arguing about the odds. Every bookmakers had their own odds for any game. And in fact Intertops had 1.7 for Cambuur to win, 3.25 for a draw and 4.5 for RKC waalwijk to win.
                          And I actually received an email from Intertops saying that the odds were INCORRECT AFTER I placed my bets, but they said they will honour my bets and they deserved to win my wager.
                          If all bookmakers had approximately the same odds, i think Crastinum and other odds-comparing sites will not exist at all!

                            Well, if you think that I'm trying to cover Patrick's ass, you are insane.

                            As I said, whether he will pay you or not is none of my business, but I don't believe there is any ground for anyone to argue that he should not pay you.

                            After he got "warned" couple times and still don't know somebody is betting on his bad lines, he is definitely getting what he deserved.

                            What I'm trying to find out is what should the line be in that game (which is obviously way off at 3.60, and like Shawn said, its just amazing that they even hang out lines for that game).

                            And you don't want to talk about it? OK...but if you still believe it is OK, why would you called couple times before you played the game to "make sure" the odds is OK?

                            OK!?

                            If what you have mentioned is correct, your "winning parlays" is the main reason for this whole mess.

                            Believe or not, Starnet books hang out screwed lines week in and week out. Not only in soccer, but I believe even Oz mentioned at here that he won tuck load of greens on their cricket lines.

                            And thats truck load of greens...

                            So, if thats just $500 or couple dimes, I guess they will just swallow it like they did regularly. But when it is something like you have mentioned, "$50000 loss of winning parlays", well, it may give something for Patrick to think about...

                            But, of course, it still didn't give him the rights to screw you after all.

                            And what makes me called him as a complete idiot is, he just can find another stupid excuse (game not played in the stated time) for not paying you, but not willing to point out that you have taken advantage of his bad lines, which resulting from the f###ed up of his lazy BM's.

                            Got it?

                            So why?

                            Hartley got a good point to kick his ass earlier with his quote. And this is a good lesson for those full of egos "know it all" SOB BMs out there, next time you want to make a bold statement, sooner or later you will get your ass kicked really hard.

                            Well, On a side note, if you think you can use the same reason to argue with your book for a bet that you lost - game didn't play on the scheduled time,

                            DREAM ON!

                            I have tried several times in the same situation (postphone of soccer that played one day later is very common around the winter break in Europe, plus also tennis) before but I have never won any cases.

                            So this never will be a fair game.

                            But at least some books are willing to change to avoid such kind of problems. eg. Itops tennis lines starting this year, it clearly stated no matter when the match will be played, all bets are having actions.

                            You thought someone didn't fight for that?

                            At last, one final thought, I guess I don't need to check Patrick's soccer lines for quite a while.

                            PS. Shawn, shame on you, Spanish D3! Don't you know they already having lines for Peruian, Edcudorian, Bolivian (whatever the names should be, hey, how well they know about those games is just the same as how well I spelled those names) league games up already for almost a year?

                              would imagine even these south american leagues would be a bit more sensible than Spanish third division - the spanish 2nd division already ordinary enough!

                              Norwegian 2nd division better than that

                              Haven't got much on the South American front yet, but will get there, but even more crowd violence/political disruptions etc. there

                                Nobody has answered my question, which i believe is significant: Was this match re-posted on 5/14 or not?
