maybe 68.5 receptions for the full season and not 68.5 yards for 1 game?

I know exactly what games he is speaking of and believe his post. I actually won one of them but they haven't sent me such an email.

I'm thinking either they are taking winnings from those that won the most or those that don't have the MGR to cover their expenses because I have a buddy that won as much as this guy and hasn't received such an email yet but he is a high volume player. And, I'm a medium volume player but only won one.

Even if they do this to me and take away my win I was smart and anticipated this and took a buyout offer on one of the ones I was heads-up on, lol.

This whole situation is like getting a ridiculously low price on food at the grocery store, in which you buy zillions of dollars worth of food. The grocery store then takes back all of the food you bought and "as good will gesture," offers a buy one get one free coupon on dog food.

This bet was for just the eagles game it was an obvious error and they canceled it after they accepted the wager and the game had started.

backspin - that's extremely common in sportsbetting. If there's a line put up there that is obviously incorrect they will cancel the wagers on it since obviously a lot of people like you are seeing it and trying to take advantage of it.

I might be the only one here that thinks what FT did on these obviously erroneous tourneys wasn't really so terrible. I would have predicted this conclusion ahead of time when these messed up tourneys were being talked about before.

I remember they were having a similar problem a while ago with FTP point super satellites, where the winner received some entry to a 2.5k FTP point sat or something along these lines, and a very decent overlay in there as well...

Did they deduct these points from the players as well?

Bob- you aren't the only one. I'm sort of neutral on it, and posted yesterday in that other thread.

lemming- afaik no they didnt. I see those a bit differently however. Those ran for many hours that night for a much smaller buyin/event, unregging converted directly into points and not $T, and maybe the most important distinction between the two was they actually had a buyin- just wrong payouts that affected end play and were therefore hard to rollback effectively.

Going to have to process this issue a bit to give more opinion on this one.
It seems people think that because Full Tilt provided the game and messed up- they should be held accountable when it seems to have been an obvious error that players were literally freerolling.

They didn't run for long right? so being compenstated something for time spent as an "our bad" doesn't seem like a horrendous decision to me in this case.
I probably have to hear more stories roll in about how much they take back etc. If people get to keep up to a buyin or something won on ftp's mistake I really can't call it horrible at this point.

I'm with you... if I discovered these mistaken tournaments and decided to play them, I would do so only with the hope of getting a bonus like the OP did in exchange for the mistake. I would expect that the money won in them would always be taken back.

It's like getting a reward for finding somebody's wallet. Be happy with the bonus.

I think OP came off with a free 200$ as well.
01-07-2009 , 08:43 PM
If they took out more than the OP would have owed in entry fee's then they are stealing imo
01-07-2009 , 08:47 PM
What would have happened had OP spent some/all of the T$ already?

After a thorough review of your account, we have determined that $1336.00 T$ were applied to your account mistakenly by way of your placing in these errored satellites.
The 6k points sats to event #2 payout 256T$'s to 1st. If you won 1336T$'s you came 1st in 5.21 SNG's right? No those maths dont quite add up....

And if you get an email from FTP saying that you got T Dollars its in the format "XX.XXT$" not "$XX.XX T$".

The mails a fake.

lol....some of you FTP groupies try so hard..it's truly adorable. im sure you walk around in public stunned out with your FTP branded hat, shirt, watch...right?

I don't need to, nor have the desire to waste my time coming up with a fake FTP email to make them look bad...they do that quite wonderfully all by themselves.

you're right, the math doesn't add up for what i won in them, but that's my fault because i never kept track of my T$ so they may have taken more than they should have for whatever reason.

ftp staff isn't made up of robots im sure, so i dont have an explanation for the missing period. one guess is it's not a generic email from a regular support staff member..it was from a "games supervisor"

i've emailed them already asking several questions..and you guessed it, no response.

Careful here, check OPs original email from Tilt;

"I have applied a $200.00 bonus offer to your account."

Bonus offer is not $200.

So in the email they say this to you:

"We have deducted a total of $1336.00 T$ from your account. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."

It is clear then if this email was real, then the above statement is correct. You won $1336 tournament dollars from the error.

But in your quote, you say the math doesn't add up because you didn't keep track of your tournament dollars?? What you won from the tournaments is independent of what you had prior.

So according to you, Full Tilt also seized EXTRA tournament dollars from you. If this is the case, why are you not concerned about this?

Something is really sketchy with your story.
