If someone posts 50 & 100 wants and offers swaps, taking a swap bigger than any individual bet you booked is bs. This has happened to me twice in the past 3 days. Last time it was 2 100s and a 50 swapped for a 250(which I did eventually ok, even though my post clearly said I don't want more than 100 on any side). This time it was 2 100s that were slight favorites that turned into a 200 at +225ish.
I didn't see it in time to call no action, so I'm gonna honor it, but how anybody thinks this is ok is beyond me. If you book a 100 bet from someone, you get a 100 swap. It's that simple. And if you're booking close to even money bets, taking a +225 line is definitely lol, especially without asking for confirmation.
I'm not a huge action guy, so my feelings and thoughts probably don't carry a bunch of weight, but I'm not gonna not say what's on my mind when I feel something isn't right.
And for the record, I haven't even lost the swap yet, and was questioning it to someone else itt well before I lost my sides.

A rule is a rule. Jaba doing this is one thing; he's new, but Zeta doing this without asking is inexcusable. I can't for the life of me figure out why he would think booking 50 100 and 100 and swapping for 250 would be OK. He's been here years and thinks that's OK? WTF? Zeta if you think that's OK then I'm autobooking 10 $300 wants and putting you on a $3k game and we can cointoss to see who loses several thousand. (obviously kidding as he'd just arb it anyways so the joke'd be on me)
As for the high juice amount...just a ****ty situation there. It's one of those 'not technically against the rules but most ppl would ask for confirm' type of things, but again, jaba is new. It's kind of like Gaffon blasting 5 swap props all on one game after booking games against me a couple weeks ago - I had to just eat it even though most normal human beings ask for confirmation there.
As for the self-deprecation of not being a "huge action guy"...You've been around for years, your rep is spotless and you bet all seasons as far as I recall, so your input is very valuable in my opinion. People don't have to be degens like me and bacon to have their opinions be worth something.
A few things, not trying to clog thread, but I feel like the above is directed @ me. Also tone doesn't come across great in thread, but I'm not pissed off or trying to be snarky or a d*ck:
People play different amounts, EC plays 50/100 a game on average, I play 200-400 a game, Zeta does about the same. If combining swaps isn't a thing-that's fine- but it limits the amount of people you're available to swap with. Moreover, for my individual scenario- if this is a rule, so be it. I had no idea, and I genuinely mean I had no idea, as I've combined swaps before, and have had swaps combined on me before, I suppose bc I normally lose it never became a problem, lol. Also- I combined two 100 swaps for a 200 swap, I know it's hyperbole but this isn't nearly the same as combining 10 100 swaps for a 1k.
I feel this is important- I posted the swap an hour+ before tip. IMO (and please tell me if I'm out of line), if you post "I want X, will swap," there should be some diligence on your end to either A. post the things you're willing/not willing to swap for, or B. PM/quote a swap you opened yourself up to and tell the other person you'd rather not swap for that/that much. Posting itt 4 hours later as the game is minutes from being over and saying "wow this swap is BS," when nothing would have been said if it lost, is kind of sh*tty imo.
All this being said, I have 0 leg to stand on as I'm new here, and this has already become a "wow jaba scummed you" type of thing. As for numbers I'll count it as Clippers +212 for 100, rather than 200- as I broke a rule and didn't know. Going forward I'll be more diligent in swapping.
