I know sportsbooks have their own rules or whatever..... but I would consider this unfair. I made a 3 team 10 point teassr. Now one game got postponed so I figured since there are not two team 10 point teasers the ticket gets canceled. It wasn't. So, I called them up to ask. Apparently.....it is automatically graded as a loss. Now....if I win the other two games I can file a CLAIM....to get my bet amount back........ but I have to win to get nothing. So, it is a bet where I can lose something but gain nothing. Anyone think this is fair? Now, I'm sure they will claim those are the rules but how many people know that. Either way, something should be fair. I fail to see how this is in anyway fair. I should not be punished for a postponed game

Fair would be to push the ticket. Regardless of the outcome of the other two games.

Life ain't always fair though.

Never heard of that...most books have a 55 min rule before game is counted. Get a new book

If 1 game was cancelled then the total wager should be cancelled.

Tell them they are definitely & completely wrong & you will take it to the forums...

I have a Parlay

bet is still Pending



game is being played tomorrow???



Yep I have one pending too, but they just cancelled that game.

Simple rules:

Parlays will reduce on a cancellation

Teasers should reduce or be cancelled, depending on how many teams & points are involved.

A cancellation doesn't equate to an instant loss so this book is basically stealing from him right now..

Right now it is called pending...... and with one cancelled.....one won...i need Nebraska to lose by less than 34 to get my money back. The problem is there was never a chance to win money but there is a chance to lose money. Makes no sense. Should have been canceled. And it wasn't due to my picks but a fluke of a cancled game. They should have just canceled it

Agree 100%....They know exactly what they're doing by giving the loss an opportunity, but none towards a win.

Totally crooked

Hi! Welcome to BetOnline! How can I help you?

chatinfo.gif
You are now chatting with Jimmy Gardner

Jimmy Gardner: Thank you for contacting Live Chat Service. How may I assist you today?
daryl: if you have a 3 team 10mpoint teaser and one game is canceled what happens?'
Jimmy Gardner: Hi Daryl
Jimmy Gardner: How are you doing today?
daryl: okay
Jimmy Gardner: Great
Jimmy Gardner: I will be more than happy to assist you
Jimmy Gardner: Would you be so kind to allow me your account number and date of birth please?
Jimmy Gardner: Thanks
daryl: ?
Jimmy Gardner: Allow me a moment please
daryl: ?
Jimmy Gardner: I apologize for the delay
daryl: ?
Jimmy Gardner: On a 10 points teaser if one of the games is cancelled it will be graded as a loss; if the other two picks win you can send us a claim to get the risk amount credited back.
daryl: WHAT? Are you kidding me
Jimmy Gardner: No sir
daryl: why would it be graded a loss if it is canceled
daryl: how did i lose
daryl: why do i have to win teo games to gain nothing and then if i lose i lose
Jimmy Gardner: Allow me a moment please
Jimmy Gardner: Special Teasers must be all winners for the wager to Win. In the event of a Tie, the wager results in a loss. In this case since the Western Michigan Game was No Action, the Teaser automatically shows as a loss. If the other 2 picks win, then we can manually credit your account for the wager. If one of those picks result in a loss, then the wager is a loss.
daryl: that makes no sense the ticket should be canceled
daryl: it shouldnt be graded a loss then i have to win to gain nothing'
Jimmy Gardner: This is just an example as very rarely do Football Games get cancelled.
Jimmy Gardner: Since we understand a Game not being played will force a Special Teaser to grade as a loss, we manually adjust the account as a courtesy provided the remaining picks result in a Win.
daryl: that is not my fault
Jimmy Gardner: Actually Daryl, my Manager just notified the system was fixed so it no longer shows as a loss. This is the reason your wager still shows Pending.
daryl: it doesnt matter i still have to win to gain nothing and if i lose then i lose....'
Jimmy Gardner: So, the other 2 picks will have to result in a Win and if so, the Risk is returned. If either result in a loss, then the wager is graded as a loss
daryl: stealing
daryl: i oject
daryl: object
daryl: it should be canceled in total
daryl: explain how that is fair please
Jimmy Gardner: Doesn't work that way Daryl.
daryl: yes it does
Jimmy Gardner: Same applies to two Team Teasers. If one of the picks results in No Action, the other has to win for the Risk to be returned. If that 2nd pick results in a loss, then the wager results in a loss

NO ACTION/CANCELLATION/POSTPONED is not the same as a tie.

This guy is clueless.

It should simply reduce to a 2 team teaser..unless its a "ties lose" teaser. In which case a cancellation is still not really a tie.

Sounds like you will get your original wager back when you file a claim. The fact that you have to file a claim is bs but they should make you whole

They are claiming he needs to go 2-0 just to file a claim. It might be the most crooked move by a book I've ever seen.

It is now officially a loss.
bet
Akron + 24 cancelled
N Illinois +3.5 covers
Nebraska +34 ldoesn't cover......thus the wager is a loss
A bet I had no opportunity to win money but only lose is now officially a loss

At least you can sleep better knowing it would have been a loss had the game been played, but it's still total BS.
