It's tough to get a bet in at BETJAMAICA these days

I'll send a bet in a for a nickle on a first-half or something. Then there's a delay of about 30 seconds while my bet is being "processed". Next, I get a message that the line has moved and that I can get the same bet, but laying 5 or 10 cents more juice. It's getting old. This is happening on about 75% of my bets now. One time I tested my theory about them moving numbers on me when I picked out a third quarter total 3 hours before the Monday night game went off. They had the same number as everyone else, and I could have made this bet at several other books. I played it a Betjamaica in the name of research. Sure enough..."This line has changed.....". Am I supposed to think that there's someone else out there in cyberspace that thinks exactly like me and bets this crap in the same 20 or 30 second window that I am trying to bet it? Not likely. They can run their shop whatever way they'd like, but I just want them to know that I've been on to them for quite a while. Dealing someone a line, and then moving it on them after they bet is chicken sh*t stuff, IMO.

I have had this same problem, but ...

I have noticed that it wasn't a case of them trying to squeeze extra juice out of me.

Twice, the line actually moved in my favor.

That has NEVER happened to me at BETJAMAICA. It's happened at Pinnacle a lot of times, but never at betjamaica. I don't believe in coincidences. I'm getting the number moved on me even when I take leads on numbers that are readily available all over the place. I like dealing with them because they're good pay, but this is turning into a waste of my time if this is their strategy.

Same gig happens at Pointbet on soccer totals.


I recently noticed a long delay at Millenium, but I haven't had a "line move" yet.

They can set the delay they have on you for any amount of time they want....5 seconds or 50 seconds. They vary this in accordance with whether you are perceived as a square or sharp player. At Olympic, my bets go in immdeiately, almost before I even press the ENTER button. (Shows what THE GREEK thinks of my action!)

If you enter the amount fairly quickly after seeing the line you should not have this problem with them. It happens to me too but in my favor sometimes. Don't worry, the Greek guy would not ruin reputation for puny little krutzouli like you.

my straight wagers at BET ROYAL take longer than forever to go in sometimes 3 minutes even in the middle of the night! but my parlays on the same events take 5 seconds to get confirmed. what do you think Am I a sharp at Bet Royal? They do not change the line but sometimes it just times out even if I hit confirm it never gets totally confirmed and I get no action at all on the game I want. Then a few mintues later trying again and waiting the line might be different or it might not and it might get accpeted that time but always slow in straight wagers all sports and props. If i go to live chat and make the wager its confirmed in seconds by the teller.

I think you misunderstood me because you English is a little shakey. Olympic is great and the bets go in fast. Betjamaica holds you up while they decide if they want to adjust the line on you, like they did once again just now on an NBA number I could get at several other places. I'm not talking about "moves" either.

Last week there was a Sunday NFL total and I wanted to go over 17 -110. BTW, this was on a Saturday, 24 hours before the game. So they move it to 17 over -120, and offer that line to me, as if someone out there in cyberspace bet on that exact total in the same 20 to 30 second window that I was betting it. Of course, I don't bet the new adjusted price. Then, I went in there later on in the day, and they had it back to 17 -110. Go figure.

Same problems here

Royal and Jamaica both love to move lines on you when you hit the line for max.. Greek never does

Happens at Royal all the time. They have a delay and it is BS.. Take a bet or get the fvck out of the business.. If I am so sharp go use my info to make tons of cash.
