so i go to place a wager on the tigers +182 for game 2 tongiht....when i go to confirm my wager it says the line has changed to +177 now and to reconfirm. i go to reconfirm and it says the line has now changed to +175. i go to reconfirm and finally get the line at +174...it seems there is a good 15-20 second pause on the confirmation screen everytime i place a wager there. i have been given a lower or higher line before from jam but not 8 cents difference and 4 confirmations later...anyone have any info on why they do this??

ATTENTION!!! AT LEAST ONE LINE (OR PRICE) HAS CHANGED......
Please review each line carefully and if you want all of these bets press Confirm below! Otherwise press "Cancel".




kinda like that, happens to be all the time and it does get annoying. no coincidence that the line always moves against me either


:nohead:

i still love betjam tho

To answer your question, (although I think you already know the answer), the reason BetJam does this is to get the best line possible. So try this the next time you make a bet...if you want to bet the Tigers +182, place youe bet instead on the Red Sox at whatever the listed price is, in this case let's assume a dime line, so -192. Wait and see if they offer this bet at -192 as advertised, or if they try to change it also to say -197. If they do try to change the line on you, don't confirm but print the screen showing this information and then go try to bet the Tigers at +187, which they will again obviously change on you, but then you have caught them!

The real problem is how are you going to get paid if you win?

It doesn't happen all of the time. Chances are you bet the game close to game time. If you bet it 2 hours before gametime it most likely wouldn;t happen.
