i really dont like trying new books out but i did take advantage of the 25% bonus a few months back and have been very happy at BCN.

their dimeline cuts at about 145 so we are stuck with the -146/+131 crap and they appear to move on action instead of just following the screen as scalps are available with pinny if that is something you do. however with the 1000 limit it doesnt make much sense.

i was kinda ticked when they recently raised the number of bets from 50 to 100 for the Bonus Play as i was in the high 30's with an average wager of about 300.

i did receive a payout of 2500 thru neteller within 30 minutes and it was free (1 free payout 30 days after your last deposit) and i enjoy talking to their customer service even tho they dont seem super knowledgable but they are very willing to help.

good experience so far, not sure if they will be anything special for football but we shall see.

Might want to call them.

Maybe they will honor your 50 bet promo since that was your offer at sign-up.

Let me know, same situation here.

I'd love to play there but I made the mistake of winning 5 games in a row and had my limits cut to 100. If the limit was 500 I'd reup in a heartbeat...

we should apply pressure to MAKE SURE they honor it for those that signed up when that was the offer.....

SportSavant · Jul 23, 2005

well....

for me it wasnt honoured, I called to get my Bonus Bet & was told it was now 100 bets....

I didnt make a big deal about it though....

1) They are Lightning fast answering emails.

2) Have requested 2 Payouts which have also been Lightning Fast.....

3) Limited Free Payouts with some restrictive Rules...

4) Lines up late

5) They want RECREATIONAL players only..... (Fish you are not allowed there).

You are right on with that statement. Win, even a little there and they cut limits. They have the most basic copy cat lines. Nothing of any real value there.

Yup, its a shame a book with such a bright future could allow something like this to happen and tarnish a reputation they were building.

I repeatedly and repeatedly stated this to Eric over and over.

MY PERSONAL EMAIL TO BCN SPORTS ON THURSDAY.......................

To whom it may concern at BCN,

This is Fishhead from TheRX writing in regards to the dispute on the Oakland future wager that the RX is mediating.

From the bottom of my heart I hope sincerely that you honor all of these future wagers on the A's as quickly and as soon as possible as the natives are going to become very restless in this matter.

Having personally been in this business for 20 years, I can faithfully and honestly say that you have basically no ground to stand on in this dispute and 99.5% of the indiviuals in this industry will realize this and your sportsbook will lose a ton of credibility.

As I mentioned to ERIC, I have talked with many reputable individuals on this matter with includes no less than a former LV gaming control board member, current Las Vegas sports directors, moderaters at TheRx and other forums, and numerous gamblers to confirm my individual conclusion in this matter which is TO HONOR THESE WAGERS.

Your cooperation and promptness in this matter would be appreaciated.

On a positive note, the entire staff at BCN has been very cooperative in attending to this matter thus far and I for one appreciate this greatly.

On a personal note, I am sincerely hoping you can see what the correct decision needs to be done in this matter, as I have trully enjoyed being with your sportsbook as a customer and would not like to see anything tarnish your reputation that you have worked so hard to earn up to this point.

Thanks again,
-Fishhead-

Changing the "50" bet offer to 100 midstream, and not honoring those who originally signed for it should have been a clue that these guys didn't honor things they offered. First take away an offer, then a future bet. I remember last year there was some controversy about the 7-1 for parlays. They offered it, then rescinded it. Then re-instated it, if I remember correctly.
Until they fix this future bet thievery, they should be avoided because they are simply baiting and switching.

Incidents like this are very telling. And this happens just days after there was a long debate on this forum about how other users promote books and exactly what they know about these books outside of being simple members (topic about mansion)

Here is a clear cut classic example that pretty much strengthens the arguments of those of us who urge restraint and careful consideration before you go posting up at a book because some one on the RX said it was safe!

But i am guessing this is not the first time this has happened. It wont the the last and the book promoters will also never stop. I just hope people could just get a bit smarter and stop supporting fringe books like this. :icon_conf

OMNIVOROUS FROG · Jul 31, 2005

It is a bait and switch, by definition. Offer a rogue line, take action on it, move it ten cents, keep taking action, move it 20 more cents, aw, we were just kidding with that bait. You really can't have it, but if you would like...

that is a scam.

Best Wishes...oF:howdy:
