Guess you won't be betting that with the FREE MONEY that Royal gave you in the contest, that was FREE TO ENTER......
Pretty "insulting" to me to call out a book that has given you free money, over a "line's odds".....
If they slow pay, no pay, renig on bonus, etc....then fair game, but to call them out on the forum, for a line they make, when you are playing with their money, seems "INSULTING' to me......
You could have emailed them and asked if the line was a mistake......
Anytime a line doesnt offer you the "value" that it should, u also have the option, of NOT BETTING IT, and playing it elsewhere...

bucs, i'm SHOCKED you responded like that.......
by no means am I trying to insult royal......the fact they sponsor contests here at therx, (including a couple of wins for me) does NOT go un-noticed....i am VERY appreciative of their contests.........i cant express enought to you that i appreciate them.....
that being said bucs, i still find it crazy that they posted a +1200 # on that prop....maybe i'm wrong, maybe more books have it at that? i really don't know. i guess i could have been a littler softer about it, but just because someone sponsors a contest doesnt mean they get a free pass on any issues one may have......
what's wrong with questioning a line on a book?

If you read my post, i said, if they slow pay you, no pay you, renig on bonus, anything like that, by all means, they should be called on it.....There is no free pass because they sponsor a contest, however to call them out on the forum, and say they are "insulting" you because u don't like the "odds" on a prop bet, i think is a little un-appreciative....Thats just my opinion
I've seen numerous books being called out on the forums for offering rip-off lines to try to reel in some suckers. Intertops, as an example is often blasted on the forums for offering huge strattles which seems unethical.
Why should Royal get a pass for the same type of behavior? Because they advertise and give away free money? I commend Sherman for not being silenced by the fact they give away bonus and contest money more then most books. He isn't saying they are a terrible book, just complaining about the line they are offering.
This line could easily be +5000.
Them accepting bets on +1200 is wrong. Unless they agree to never ever cancel a players bet on a bad line. Is it OK for a player to Bet the +1100 on a line that should be +110? I know it's an extreme example. It just isn't right for books to post bad lines for the players and yet cancel bets on other " bad lines" when the book is the one with the huge disadvantage.

I will also take +5000, for as much as you will let me.
Take a look around, Montana is +2100 at 5 dimes. Royal is also throwing in the other 3 16s (+10000, +15000, +9000) into this prop.
Now someone please tell me how this should be +5000 or +12000 instead of what's listed?
Some quick math makes it somewhere around +1500/-3000
maybe a slight underlay but not worth complaining about
