...one thing i dont like is the bet confirmation. i just clicked on a game that was -4.5...put in the bet amount...clicked confirm and got the bet at -5.5. no exagerration...the whole process was less that 4 seconds and i did not get the price.

this has happened before.

Thats a drag Blue - happened to me before also - their explanation was that most sites don't refresh automatically after you log into them so if the line changes you will never know it after you log in- I have had to develop a habit of refreshing my screen manualy before hitting confirm.

BLUE and others-- You have to LOOK AT YOUR CONFIRMATION screen before submitting wager...............as it sometimes IS different than the number you clicked.

PLEASE STAY ALERT

That's a BS stunt, and one that I could swear that someone mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

You have to wonder how much they make by doing this if it's blatant manipulation. Was the # 5.5 when you went back to the wagering page?

Journeyman · Feb 23, 2006

How long were you logged onto that page Blue?

And has anyone had a game go for them in this situation at SIA?

TT--If one REFRESHES their screen, yes it will be changed.

Very poor software at SIA.

Are you listening to me.........ONE HAS TO REFRESH THE SCREEN.......of course lines change and when you click on a CHANGED number, it is going to show up differently in the CONFIRMATION box.

Unlike the majority shops though, they do not give you a NOTE saying so..........which is why their software stinks.

If one just stays alert, they should have no problem.

They are not trying to MANIPULATE anyone.........just dealing with possibly the worst software one can imagine coupled with management that is a tad clueless...........which if they were not, one would not be finding lines ONE plus points off and TEN cent scalps regularly.

CATCH 22 situation........and certainly one I personaly can live with given the oppurtunities presented there.

YES, if the line is changed, the confirmation screen will show the new line.....

if you quickly enter the dollar amount & click ENTER then you are SOL......

I can easily see this happening.....

EXACTLY!

FYI, SIA is pretty decent about VOIDING a bet if you made a mistake....

BUT

the funds dont go back into your account until the GAME is over......

PanchoSanza · Feb 23, 2006

how come a supposed sharpie like fish still has an account there, would have figured you to get tossed by now.

Let me guess, this is the 5th or 6th account you bearded under.:drink:

That was my point, I was asking him how long he was sitting there.

he just opened his first account there, & is down big so far....

myself, I am a BOOKIE's DREAM I guess......

just ask JAKE at SPORTBET 0-11 in my deposits there so far.....

:Sad Face:

Yeah, like other's have said, they're not scamming you. Just really poor software. I've actually had it in my favor a couple times after clicking the bet, but also been caught like you were here.

goodness know i love sia but...
