D2bets, I absolutely agree. If the books didn't honor wagers, what is to prevent a book from, say, making the Super Bowl line to be 7.5 (instead of the 7 that it was)??? They could actually take in all the New England wagers laying 7.5 (from squares who didn't have another out) and then refuse any wager on the Eagles, couldn't they?
Of all the books, WSEX has no excuse to deny wagers based on size because their software is not one where a player types in a wager amount. You pull it down and scroll to the amount you want. So if $1,000 is not even an option to choose from, nobody can make a $1,000 bet. So if someone does make a large wager, you won't get your panties in a bundle.
The problem is that they do want $1,000 bets, or else it wouldn't be an option - they just don't want certain people to place those bets. Well, if that is the case, then change the options for that person.
I mean, WSEX needs to stop acting like a little girl. Spend the money, customize the software so you can honor your wagers and update your lines (or go OTB) when you see it pop up on DB. Once you give a player a line, and he makes a play within the limits that his software shows, they should honor it. It's not like the guy is typing in a $1,000 bet - he is selecting it from an option that is presented to him.
