That's correct, Danny, as far as the breakdown goes - and that's something I think sucks in the offshore world - but it only affects winners, not losers, and only those winners not reading the rules. As far as BG goes, I have never seen that rule on their site, but if I was fixin' to put a lickin' on them, I'd definitely ask them first by email to get their (or any other book's, for that matter) response in writing in case of a future dispute (pun intended).
Dante: let's say this kid was loaded to the teeth and decided to let it all ride until the WS, then fully hedged the $140,000 - he would think he'd locked in almost $44,500, but by not getting paid the full 140, he'd have made only about $4,500 ... extremely EXTREMELY unlikely, but an example where this could kill you ...
bet $95,516 on Yankees -210 to win WS, to win $45,484

As Danny May states, there is no way in hell itops should confirm the bet, accept the bet, and hold the bet for 7 fvckin' months, if they aren't going to pay it! The software should have only let him bet what their max payout is...
jat - yes, these are totally separate cases, and peteep bet thru bg, not itops...

The money's not in my hands yet. I do have a tracking number for a cashiers cheque by fedex though. I don't imagine there will be any problem. As soon as the funds clear, I will be sure to post it. It took a little longer than I had hoped to get a tracking number(I requested it Monday), but apparently it is their bank that mails the cheque. However, when I called Fedex to track the package, they said it was not in their system. They said it was a valid tracking number, but that the package must not have been picked up by fedex yet. I'm not panicking by any means. I think I should have the money in my hands soon enough.
