Were you on the debating team? You use of words make your position so solid. After reading your posts I'm 100% convinced I'm right. Think about it. You are defending bookmakers. I'm sure they made their money legit. Give me a break. BOTTOM LINE: Once a game starts all bets should be honored.

NEW AGE BETS TAUGHT ME A LESSON THE HARD WAY

come on man, this SP3 CANNOT be the Actuary from MW, can he? I heard the Actuary admit once at MW that he is SP3. But how in the world is this possible? This SP3 guy is cruel. He swears so much and is always pissed. At least the Actuary wasn't this mean. I have NEVER heard so many F-words in my life like this SP3 uses. He is one mad man. All I can recall from the Actuary is he NEVER made any sense when he spoke.
Although he has admitted to being SP3, i just don't see how this can be possible.

All I can tell you fellas is that if you make a bet with me I read it back, you say OK and that is that. In the unlikely (way unlikely) event you bet a bad line to your detriment and lost I would void the bet. As you might imagine this is not a frequent occurence.
On the other hand, if I am careless enough to put up a bad line, shame on ME! Play it, tell me if you like, but the responsibility for accuracy in my business lies with me, not you.
If you think these offshore books give a damn about you and deserve to have you point out their mistakes, in my opinion you are being naive.
VVV

Sick, the freedom of expression allowed at the Rx brings out both the best AND the worst in posters.
Just be thankful it brings out the best in you hehe.
As for the guys defending the position that the books should honor any bet they take, I must say it is not an unreasonable one.
It is just that tradition is (and in extreme cases not even common sense) is not on your side.
Then again, "tradition" is that the books mix your postup funds in with general revenues.
This one I am very clear is wrong. Still the way it is except for the All-World group though.

FYI Yes there are books that give a BIG damn about their customers, and you are very naive for thinking they don't! The answer is YES they do deserve for you to point out a mistake if one is made. In return they do whatever is necessary to make their customers happy, and sometimes that means biteing the bullet now and then.
there are way too many books out there. Treating customers with respect and giving a damn about them is the only thing you can do to keep them from going on down the road. Honoring a bad line to a customer does not fall under any of the above.
BTW I also agree if a game goes off without a cancellation and email it should be action

"I think most of our bettors have bet in Las Vegas, where they buy a ticket and once they buy the ticket, it's a bet. If the book made a big mistake, oh well, they are obligated for that ticket."
Please stop making your arguments based on that incorrect statement. Mistakes happen everywhere, and I can assure you that books in Las Vegas can and will cancel a bet on a "bad" line, at their discretion. They simply go to the computer and "freeze" the ticket, so that the cashier is unable to pay it. They don't track you down or email you, either. They just cancel it.
The difference between Las Vegas books and offshores, though, is that Las Vegas books tend to give the customer the break if the line is not terribly out of line or the wager is not too significant. They know the customers may be spending money in other parts of the casino, and it is not worth it to piss off customers,spouses, their friends, etc.
And with fewer lines to post, and customers sitting in the book that can see a mistake on their screen (and who will actually tell them about the mistake), as well as supervisors who seem to be more careful, you don't get as many bad lines in Las Vegas. But they will cancel them, if they want to.

Well lookie lookie lookie Sodium and the others. I hope NAB pulls through for everyone and themselves, but I think this current situation helps prove my credibility.
I have learned from my experience that there are two sides to this situation. I don't need the hassle. I will primarily beat up the Vegas books since I live out here.
I dont know where I typed that I was "taking a shot" but you guys took it out of context if I did say something like that.
Sodium, I dont need to refrain to using profanity to get my point across. Unless of course, you live here in Vegas. Then we can discuss this old school style. On second thought, nevermind. Because you aren't worth it. I just came back to let you all know that maybe my experience was a warning.
I do hope they pull through as I do like 24/7 nickel juice /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif.

pretty clear now what they were up to
I would bet that they didn't refund people's action if they played the other side..

Nice edit and repost job Flip, you horses ass. Now excuse me why I view other threads, like HONEST people who lost there hard earned money with NAB.
You have issues. I am very honest and credible. If I was trying to get away with something, would I have posted this incident and defend my actions?? Think about it if you have a brain.
NAB is still up and running, so hopefully they will pull it together.
If I was presented that opportunity again with a book, I would just call them and see if they would take my bet as I point out that it is very different from another book. I NAB and myself both handled the situation incorrectly.

They call him Flipper,Flipper,faster than lightning.No one you see,is smarter than he.And that's why Flipper,Flipper lives in a world full of wonder,lying there under,under the sea.
Just so everyone understand exactly what Flippie posted?
Are you implying in some way I stood up for NAB?
Huh, crook? Is that it? Perhaps get your reading glasses out.
OK, anyone that knowingly bets a line off 11 points is a crook. I don't care who holds the bet, it could be Bin Laden, for all I care.
And your nonsense about NAB taking a shot at the players is ludicrous,
Yea BIll posted an added college total for the express purpose of taking a shot?
Are you on drugs? Think if he wanted to take a shot at players he'd post a total that what 3 of his customers even knew about?
Lay off the revisionist history crook, face it you're a cheat and a crook, and so is anyone else that knowingly takes a shot at a line off 11 points.

Is he your hero, getting Nicky canned?
Flippie, next time you employ cyber extortion, I'll be here buddy, anytime you want to post you should be paid on a bet off 11 points, I'll be here fishee and if by now the legit folks trying to earn off this industry haven't realized exactly what blight crooks such as yourself and Owen are to the industry, they will the next time.
