Hi acw!

The remaining $694 was rejected due to our policy not to take large bets on
surewins. Our new odds offer are now available at our homepage.

Mvh / Best Regards,

Should I laugh? Or cry?

BOTH

then call them and take your money out of a sh*thole book like that

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh a $700ish account - wow - look out book - you might not be able to make the monthly payroll due to this guy's winnings

what a P.O.S. book to do this

then again - WHAT THE HELL are you doing playing at a book like this to begin with?

THAT is the most hilarious email I have ever seen from a book...

they do not take money on SUREWINS??? what is that? is that a horse in the 5th race at bay meadows?

Didn't know there was such a thing as a sure win. Unless you tried to past post somehow, I'd say to ditch that place.

What book might we ask so as to avoid them in the future when I have a sure win.

Is there such a thing as a "surewin" in the sports world?

BAGIANT · May 8, 2006

I don't know what's going on here, but it sure looks interesting.

ramdaddy · May 8, 2006

Unreal email

MattRain · May 8, 2006

I'm guessing there's more to it than the book flat out refusing a straight bet...

Santo · May 8, 2006

"Surewins" perhaps indicates it was one of BetBrain's "SureBets" or Scalps, in other words they're claiming it was a bad (scalpable) line..

They usually involve Mickey Mouse bookies, so have never looked at them.

Just a guess..

Yes, it could be that the surewin was buying back the other side to guarantee a surewin whichever side won. Some books don't like this and I think we would all be reticent about trying this at certain outs.

So what is the real story acw?

Dubpoet · May 8, 2006

ACW, its time to give a few details.
