I think I can actually translate this:

"face it, more posts should be like mine and not the boring drivel I read in most threads. Little bit of fun is needed"

If more posts were like yours this forum would be dead in a day. Honest question; did you finish high school? Is english not your first language?

Somewhat sorry for bumping an old thread, but I thoroughly enjoyed the misunderstanding of the Blood Diamond reference.

My reason for posting though is I don't think we can reiterate strongly enough how awful Bovada's unethical practices are. What adds to their disgrace is how they not only do not publish how these practices are part of their business model or TOS, but they deny and deflect any time someone points out they deal dual lines or delay in-running wagers to their favor.

"Dual lines" hasn't been clearly defined ITT, so I'll take a moment to explain it to those of whom may be unfamiliar. Let's say in an NBA game the favorite is -4 virtually everywhere including competing major offshores. At Bovada if you are a brand new account (or have a history of losing in other sports with little or no NBA action), you will see -5 (and dog +5). At the exact same time someone who has proved him/herself to be a bettor of average competency will be shown -4. When called out on this, Bovada reps will ask, "Where do you see this? What's the e-mail address of the other account you're referencing? That line service you mention (read: SBR) is not instant or accurate... on and on to protect themselves from admitting they deal dual lines.

The best way to play Bovada in my book is to take advantage of new account bonuses and dual lines (where the favorites are shaded) by betting underdogs and then QUIT. No matter casual gambler or sharp, Bovada does not deserve your business.

nothing wrong with dual lines

What bothers me more than their dual lines and live-bet free-rolling is when people misuse whom in an effort to sound smart. You will explain it to those who may be unfamiliar. It's the subject of the clause may be unfamiliar.

now heres a dude who knows how to have a good time

Thank you.

Assuming they do this, wouldn't that be an advantage for the bettor, who could bet at Bovada if he likes the dog and get 5 points, but if he likes the favorite, can use another site and only have to lay 4 points?

I don't think this is true.

I have made many live bets on Bovada that were declined during processing because the odds moved up as well as down.

From my experience, a bet will be declined if the odds change either way during those few seconds..

Firstly, I'm kind of surprised by the defense of dealing dual lines. To answer your question, this is only something you can do for about a week or two before Bovada flips the switch on you and you go back to seeing the common lines.

Yea its awesome for about 3 days.

I think 90% of their customers are betting like 10, 20 dollar, 10 team parlays. So when one guys bets 500 or 1000 on a dog getting an extra point or two, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Are you saying the reason dual lines are bad because they only give the bettor this advantage for a short time? I'm confused why having access to a site that lets you bet a line a point off from everywhere else would be a bad thing.

Two years ago, during the Masters, I bet Danny Willet live for $430 at 40-1. This was on Saturday afternoon. Shortly after placing the bet, while it was "pending," Willet made a bogey, falling to -1 and then 6 shots back. The number went to 80-1 on that bogey. The bet was immediately accepted at 40-1.

This didn't work out well for Bovada. But they tried to freeroll me. I believe your story 100%.

You still haven't explained why it's cheating thou..

A bookie can offer what ever line they want to whomever they want.

You're getting upset that a private company is offering different services to different clients..

I think it's the cover up that bothers me most. Additionally, I do not agree that offering whatever line a book wants and offering two different lines concurrently are the same thing.

If you go to the counter at a brick and mortar book like in Vegas or the Caribbean islands, they are bound by the posted odds that they present to all customers at the same time. They may say you can only bet $100, then we are moving the line. That's common practice. However in no betting establishment (including the most reputable online books) would a ticket writer say, "For you Joe, the Dallas / Packers game is 5. For you ma'am the line is 6."

This is the difference between betting with a random who takes $50 bets at your local bar and a professional sports book. Dual lines are illegal in Nevada, and I've never seen Pinnacle, 5Dimes, or BetOnline do it.

Yes, I'm happy to take advantage of skewed lines for the short while they're offered, but I don't appreciate a large, professional book like Bovada treating their customers for fools. At the very least Bovada should post that they deal dual lines in their ToS.

I think it'd feel a lot better to bust inside of J-Lo.

Everyone on earth knows that they do this. Some coverup.

I know what you mean but honestly, if given the choice, I think Id still go with facial. Inside would "feel" better, sure, but the image of a J-Lo facial would stay with you forever. Long after the inside-nut endorphins have faded

jlo is a 48 y/o glowless hag
