Some ethical questions for all

These two scenarios have both happened to me in the last year and I just wonder how everyone here handles them both at VIP Sports

A. Grade a wager wrong that is supposed to be a loser but they give you a winner.

B. Leave a game on the board way after it starts( I.E a basketball game 1st quarter line that is still on the board 9 minutes into the game)

What would you all do?:youmad:

I think you work for VIP Sports and you're trying to drum up business. :realtongu

Nah seriously man. Both happened. The graded wager was just an average size bet but the leaving the line on the board I could unload and left me in a weird situation

If you bet a game that has already started they will most likely catch it and then ban you for trying it, even if you didn't know...

A. They'll catch the error & reverse it 99% of the time
B. Take a shot at them, don't bitch when they take one at you.

It's obvious what the honest answers should be.

But, that book gives you no chance in getting a sharp opening line. Watch the lines get hit in Pinny, Cris, and the greek and once the dust settles, the lines are released. What a joke. I say fight fire with fire.

Not to mention those limits they impose on people.

1) Let them find out on their own. Hell, I probably have been cheated before as I use to just trust the books.

2) I wouldn't bet it...

All books are out to get your money. Anyone that tells a book about an error is a fool. If they find out on their own fine. I won't withdraw the money in an effort to avoid correction, but i certainly won't let them know about it.

I dont do the books any favours. Im not there to help them. Any wrong gradings I have had in my favour in the past are usually caught within an hour or two anyway, and as for betting on lines that are mistakenly left open, thats not my problem. They should train their staff to learn how to tell the time.

However, in saying that, I dont bitch if the plays are cancelled. I took a crack expecting the bets to be deleted, so if they are then so be it.

ronaldn · Dec 13, 2006

What if the books catch it, as most likely they will, but wait to see if it wins or loses before they decide whether to cancel it? Doesnt appear to be much of an upside on that situation.

I usually get about 10 wagers a year scored incorrectly in my favor, about 5 are caught by sportsbooks the other 5 I consider bonuses usally amounting to about 4,000 a year.
I get about 10 wagers a year scored incorrectly against me always call and get bet scored properly. Best way to go!

I have made a few wagers this BB season where the book leaves up the line well into the 1st quarter or after half time for the 3rd quarter...and have won 4 out of 5 wagers...and they didnt cath it, also have had parlays graded as winners and they dont catch it...dont want to name the book but I had no problem w/ it...JMO

We offshore are not infallable..We make mistakes..What we do is if someone calls and tells us about a particular mistake we are making, we appreciate the honesty and give a Bonus Play or a credit in that account..
