My apologies for not replying quicker.

Let me address a couple things.

1) Mr. W Who asked me to call him yes i called him twice from work and noone answered so i emailed the general

2) I apologize for not writing to this thread as i got the hint from Mr. Shrink that i should take this private.

3) There is no "syndicate". Unless a syndicate is friends that share what they consider good lines/propositions with each other to bet on. The other day i saw u2 -190 for the 2nd period at Playerstime and it was a great prop. It took a 3 goal second period to beat that bet and the over under was 4. I told many people about it. Is there a crime in that? I don't think so.

4) I am pursuing the matter but the manager won't even give me his phone # to speak with him about it.

5) The facts Restated are:

I think i must've spoken about things in a slightly confusing matter.

When there were 8 women in the womens french open left i made 2 bets

1) BET ID=12918766
Future Wager 06/01/03 16:05 ET
1000.00/25000.00 Result: Wager Lost
2003 Womens French Open - Odds to win
Field (All Other Players) Lose 25-1

2) BET ID=12918763
Future Wager 06/01/03 16:05 ET
1000.00/3000.00 (paid 1000.00) Result: No Action
2003 Womens French Open - Odds to win
Kim Clijsters Lose 3-1

Here is what happened.

There were 1 field player in the top bracket vs. henin and the bottom bracket was entirely the field and clijsters.

I'm no professional handicapper or anything but i figured going into the finals the worst possible outcome was i would have clijsters at 2:1(subtracting my field bet) or field at 24:1(subtracting my clijsters bet).

I liked those odds. Why didn't i play this at pinnacle you ask? The lines were about 2.5:1 and 20:1

That's a big difference when you're laying a thousand per game.

So what happened here is this.

The manager let my bets stand. There was about a day and a half until the round of 8 was played. The field bet was removed from the top bracket via a loss and the bottom bracket was field vs. clijsters in the round of 4.

So as i thought i would have the field vs. clijsters in the bottom.

Then it advanced with Henin winning the top and clijsters winning the bottom. At this point the manager showed his true intention by giving the Clijsters a NO ACTION since it was favored to win and Field bet to lose since it had already been eliminated as Henin was NOT part of the field.

What i am saying very simply is this. The field bet and the clijsters bet should have both been no actioned. The manager let the bet stand a good week and cancelled it right before the finals. As i have said before this is the equivalent of me having a first half and 2nd half bet. And a manager letting the first half bet lose because it had lost and the 2nd half bet cancelled when the game is in the 4th quarter and the 2nd half is up.

The manager showed disgraceful intent to defraud and i should have 1,000 returned to my account as he had no intention of paying me if i won as he showed he would've cancelled whatever bet had won.

Thank you Hockeykitty.

I wanted to let the posters get a good understanding of what happened here. Your summary is very good.

Amy:

If Pinnacle had 20:1 and 2.5:1 at the same time you placed your bets (at 25:1 and 3:1), then technically, neither bet should have rightfully been voided, since they were not materially out of line with Pinnacle's numbers.

However, if the book was going to void, they certainly should have voided both bets, and not just selectively voided only the one that could win.
