15% CASH BONUS FOR RE-UPS @ BHB

[hamneggs]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> BHB will be giving a 15% cash bonus for re-ups until 10pm EST Sunday (5/18/03). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't get a bonus because I got a payout last week.

Funny that in your entire thread you don't mention the simple circumstance when someone is not entltled to a bonus.

Just got off the phone with hamneggs.......
Let me ask you this.........
Would it make sense if you recieve a payout of $300, then 5 days later try to deposit the same amount and recieve another bonus, only to withdraw the money again a couple days later?

[hamneggs]

say your rules above (before you take the money)

I don't wanna hear all your hypotheticals about why it doesn't make sense to fullfill the offer that you made on this forum.

If you are not a man of your word, then I can't help you.

 

[hamneggs]

you are a SLOW PAY BOOK on top of that

If the bonus gets rolled over and you get beaten, then you pay it. That makes perfect sense to me, pal.

Sorry if this comes as news to you, but when you make a written offer then you damn well better be prepared to fullfill it.

Justin, what is happening here man? The Forum is not going for your BS hypothetical...better try again.

Your hypo assumes that the player is beating you pretty badly.

The answer to your question is that I think that you should still provide the bonus that you offer--EVEN if you get beaten. I know that it doesn't make sense to you, Justin, that you should actually DO what you SAY that you are going to do, even if it doesn't make much "business sense" to pay a winner. Duh

Want to be sure i understand this.

Hammy deposits, rolls the deposit over the required amount to recieve bonus.
Hammy makes a withdraw after fulfilling the rollover, and recieving bonus.

Hammy then wants to re-up, and is told "no bonus" ?

Is this about right?

 

[hamneggs]

that is correct, uncle butternutts, well stated

 

[UncleButternutts]

Justin, can you elaborate?

From what i have read so far, Hammy has a very legit gripe.
So what if he made a withdraw?

He made the deposit, fulfilled the requirements,he has every right to make a withdraw.

Why would you refuse to give him a re-up bonus?
He did everything you required the 1st time around.

Makes no sense to me. Hope you can make me understand.

 

[hamneggs]

Justin has some other hypothetical about why it wouldn't make sense to make good on his offer. I don't really remember the details, but it was something about going to a car dealer and looking at the car through the window..think that it involves a used car lot. LMAO.

I don't wanna go there..used car salesman, etc..

Apparently, it all makes sense to these bookies when they sit down with each other. If they end up having to pay the bonus out on one occasion, then god forbid they should offer it again...that is their mentality, goes hand in hand with the booting winners. They have actually BEATEN me though..always had good things to say about this book. Even the slow pay, I was willing to let it go and call it a good pay as I had done this past week. My mistake to cut these boys any slack.

You can tell with your own eyes that the suggestion to make the changes to their site, etc.. was bologna..nothing happened bhbookie.com Same thing that it has always been with timeouts, weak looking broads, etc..

Try to clue these guys in and they don't get it..unfortunate.

 

[hamneggs]

Justin says that whether or not I am entitled to the bonus has NOTHING to do with whether or not I have won/lost. Instead, he says that it has to do with whether I received a payout in the previous few days. Would that pass the straightface test?

ROTFLMAO

 

[PanchoSanza]

Not to knock BHB (I will probably play foots there next year) why do you guys play at a book with a 20 cent line anyways?

If Olympic gave me a 40 % bonus, I would still play at Pinnacle with their 8 cent line.

If you put in enough action, the reduced vig is worth way more.

 

[Froggy]

Hammy,

Let me get this straight....you make a deposit, get a bonus, meet all the requirements, get a payout without a bonus penalty, and then you want to send them the same amount you took out just a few days later? AND YOU WANT A BONUS, TOO?? Think about it. THAT IS THE FVCKING REASON BOOKS HATE BONUS WHORES. They are giving you a bonus for money that they just sent you. Why not just pay you interest for the money you leave in the account? CUZ THEY ARE NOT A BANK!!

That being said, if there is nothing on their site stating that policy, then you should get your bonus and they should put the text up on their site. They could call it a "help" bonus for pointing out what they are lacking, and that way it does not leave a bad taste in their mouth.

My opinion.

Rrrrribit

 

[UncleButternutts]

Froggy, i see you point, but, it should be stated in BHB's Bonus Rules. Thay make no mention of any limit on wd/reload timelines, etc.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>

1)15% direct deposit bonus for all New Accounts. In order to qualify for this bonus, you must send $200 or more. 10% reload bonus always.
2)With regards to the 10% and 15% bonus. You must roll over the deposit plus the bonus 4 times for the bonus to be valid.

a) If depositing $3,000 or more, the deposit plus the bonus must be rolled over 5 times.

b) If depositing $6,000 or more, the deposit plus the bonus must be rolled over 6 times.

c) If depositing $10,000 or more, the deposit plus the bonus must be rolled over 7 times.

3)Requesting any payout before rolling over will result in forfeiting the bonus
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I see what you are saying, and agree to an extent, but, perhaps BHB could be a bit more specific in there rules if they are going to refuse to give a re-up bonus based on a recent withdraw.

Hammy did get a sign-up bonus, he fulfilled the requirements of it, and made a w/d.
Now , he wants to Re-up, but is refused the re-up based on the $300 w/d.
Maybe they should reword their rules, but, i still think Hammy has a legit gripe.

Waiting to hear from BHB, maybe there is something i am missing.

Still, i do see your point, and agree with it. To an extent.

 

[hamneggs]

Would be fine except for the fact that I am not a whore by any stretch of the imagination.

Taken all that you say as true, think about this: Why would I want to reup at BHB for zero bonus when I can reup at Sportsbook A for a 10% bonus?

I withdrew less than half of my balance last week, and they are still up on me in an amount 2 times what I withdrew. The bonus rule should say something like "15% on Reups unless you got a payout within the last year." We are talking about a "REUP" bonus here folks, ok.

Froggy, I am not here to think about all of the hypotheticals and reasons why a sportsbook should not make good on its offer. It is a 15% reup bonus, that is as far as I need to look to understand what it means. If it says "15% reup bonus to losers" or "15% to losers but not those losers who took a small payout last week" then I know what that means too. Mean what you say and say what you mean..none of this false advertising sh*t.

 

[Igetp2s]

I cant think of a single book that would give you a bonus on that deposit. Most books make you at least deposit back what you withdraw, then the next time they would give you a bonus.

If you know of a legitimate book that would give a reup bonus on reupping right after withdrawing, please let me know. I would tear them apart.

 

[RPM]

THE WEIRD THING ABOUT ALL THIS, is that the western union fees for two transfers probably costed more than the 15% bonus on $300.

this is very strange.

 

[hamneggs]

then it should be called a "reup bonus for losers"

they can do what they wanna do, but I have ZERO incentive to play there...

Reasons why BHB Sucks

1) No bonus at all if you win ANY amount of money..even if you are down on the season you might still be entitled to ZERO bonus!!

2) 20 CENT LINES ON BASES!! Even if you get a good bonus, is it worth 20 cent lines on bases? No chance!!

3) Horrendous customer service. Punk kids who choose punks as their mascots punk mascot

4) 20 CENT LINES ON BASES

5) Website timeouts (no they never took any of the suggestions that they asked Rx posters to make last year)

6) Very slow to grade a game. The Twins game 8 PM EST was not graded until the following morning the other day..I wasn't even able to put in a play on Lakers 2nd Half. Nobody answered their phone either (sh*tty customer service).

7) SLOW PAYS!! Like to get put on hold for 15 minutes and then get hung up on when you request a payout? I don't!!

will make it a list of TEN

 

[Froggy]

Hammy,

Maybe I came off harder than I meant to. My point is this is exactly what bonus whores do, and that is why books hate em. As Iget2ps pointed out...you could tear a book apart like this and many, many would if they could.

As I said, I believe you should get your bonus only because they did not have it in their rules. They give you your bonus and Justin fixes his text. Everybody is happy. Although slow paying you for $300 could be cause for concern.....

Just wait until that arrogant prick Scott comes in and starts crapping all over the posters again with what a stand-up guy he is.

I can't wait.
