Betworks likes to put up a decent line to attract you. If you bet it soft, you will get that line. If you bet it hard they will change the line on you as you've hit confirm at will!
"In reference to the wager you attempted on the White-Sox, you were simply beaten to the number by another player who made a max bet. The other player bet the number first, and the line was changed as a result, before you confirmed your bet. Therefore you received the changed line message."
I had at one time 5 bets in a row cancelled and said LINE CHANGE but it was total BS. They say someone bet "at the same time" everytime. So today i watched a number sit up there for about 30 minutes. I bet it for max and they said "LOWER LIMITS 1 HOUR BEFORE GAME TIME". What are they chicken to take a 2 dime bet? So they lower it to a dime? Isn't most betting late betting? Then immediatelly lowered my bet to 1000 on hit bet and they said line change. They knew i wanted the number and to see if i would still bet it they change the line because they don't want too much action on one side.
I must assume they are not well bankrolled because what real book would be afraid of action? especially late game? I've never heard of this. They call this "not unique" too their book.
"It has recently been decided by our Management that large bets just before game time do not allow us time to attract counter-action and therefore leave us open to greater risk. We have therefore reduced limits in the final hour of betting on a game. This practice is not unique to us. We are happy to accept larger bets placed earlier, that allow us to move our lines and reduce our risk."
This shop is not well organized if they are afraid of late money and 1-2 dime bets and have to change lines on you because they don't want the action. Why is it that the line never changes in my favor when i bet? 7/9 times it changes and someone bets max at the exact same time i do? Please that is near statistical improbability.
They may pay fast (we'll see i withdrew over 8 dimes today for their stunts) but if they will change the line on you as you bet it frequently and lower limits because they are afraid of action.
Not a solid book.
