Enfuego, I am so much brighter than you are that its silly. You're nothing but another online tough guy. Stop making this about your obsession with me. Time for you to go. You're a waste of time.

A free $500 is pretty outrageous, I've seen many bonus offers, and that may be the most liberal ever. They offered me $100 I think, a while back. Only problem with U.S. online books is that the taxes and regulations imposed would make -110 with your local seem like Christmas morning.

sorry...but there are sportsbooks...far better than oddsmaker...

Re: JIMMYMAC VS. ODDSMAKER DISPUTE: THE VERDICT

I've tried to read the whole thread in an attempt at some objectivity, but it seems there's disagreement on some of the dialogue between the book and the player. If he did indeed lie to Shrink or Oddsmaker then I would suppose his position is weakened for sure. One thing I do know is that you and Shrink have oftentimes gone the extra mile for the player in the past. On the other hand, I don't know Jimmy, but he seems like a player that a book would want for a customer.


since the DOJ is involved in this industry there is naturally going to be some less than completely honest discussions between the player who wants to release as few details as possible about a few things. sportsbooks are on a need to know basis, I don't see conversations taking place after the bets were placed affecting the bottom line here.

the bottom line is this: player was sent an unsolicited email advertising a bonus. book has yet to show evidence stating that forwarding the email to a friend or family member would jeopardize the promotion or the player's account or balance. even if the same player called in from his own phone to open an account for his father using the same bonus promotion...it doesn't change anything. check the player at the door and don't get mad if you have to kick him out with your (previous) girlfriend. books will continue to use the excuse of trickeration until the players stop letting them. a book that doesn't have the resources to handle their own business doesn't have the resources to handle mine either.

I don't think we should be questioning the morals or motives of the player in this case because we have seen such a questionable history from Oddsmaker. burden of proof is clearly on the sportsbook's shoulders, no character validation necessary from the player, especially from people who don't know him.

I don't hate anyone MadCapper, the world has too much hate already. I just DISLIKE the owner and MoBo. I've never even met them but dislike them and I'm not the only one. If it was just me then so be it but there's a line.

You, on the other hand, seem to be a good dude. This thread serves as the perfect example of why nobody should ever trust this site or its management.

Who got you the job at EOG. Why'd you leave?

Re: JIMMYMAC VS. ODDSMAKER DISPUTE: THE VERDICT

You have information that someone else has posted, I have first hand information. I don't know what your trying to prove, but im sorry that you've made this something that it is not. You don't have anything on me, this isn't about you and me, just relax there buddy. This isn't about the contest or you and me.

:+clueless

What could you possibly know that's relevant? JimmyMac was given a $500 free play. It is impossible to abuse that type of bonus.

You may not understand how bonuses work which is why you don't get it.

Re: JIMMYMAC VS. ODDSMAKER DISPUTE: THE VERDICT

They lied to you just like Shrink lied to me about getting paid for the contest. I got told that over and over again that I was getting something and fell for it. I guarantee you got fed a lot better bullshit because it was for $8400 instead of peanuts.

You have no RELEVANT or TRUE information that we don't have.

Re: JIMMYMAC VS. ODDSMAKER DISPUTE: THE VERDICT

I assume that oddsmaker caught the player trying to open an account for his father right away. If this was a problem for them, why didn't they notify Jimmie and close his account? Instead they let him keep playing. That's the only way he could have built up that much money in his account.

If they felt he was a "professional", or would abuse the bonus, WHY did they offer him a bonus to start with? Supposedly, these players that were offered the bonus were "profiled" to start with, right?

Somewhere between the $500 he started with and the $8400 he finished with, they must have been suspicious of something! Yet they never did anything to either close the account, or notify the player that his account was under review. This apparently came when he asked for a cashout. Do I have this right so far?

I don't understand why this player is not getting paid!

oddsmaker sent him two stip's for that freeplay...

player stated he's betting 200k a year. I would imagine Oddsmaker offers this type of bonus to players betting dimes or more on average. five hundred dollars sounds like a lot until you think of it in terms of it only being a free play worth half (or less) of an average bet. Oddsmaker was looking for fish in a barrel. most people betting these amounts don't care about bonuses, reduced vig recoups the bonus within a week or two. Oddsmaker is saying they profiled the player, and I would imagine that to be true. obviously he checked out to receive the offer. that lends itself to player credibility. I think one of two things happened or maybe a combination of both. 1. player slipped through the cracks with the bonus, they found out he was sharp and in their minds didn't "intentionally" mean to give him the bonus. the reports from other sportsbooks were wrong or he went through a rough patch somewhere else. or most likely someone somewhere at the book made a mistake the player is now paying for. 2. the player pissed off someone at Oddsmaker, told them to close his account etc...and/or Oddsmaker is free rolling players frequently and is gambling on which customers know about the forums and which do not. Oddsmaker has an extremely checkered past and owners, management, etc have a history of scamming.

That leads me to feel he should have been extra careful when bonusing said book.

Given the choice between a bonus and reduced juice, it's not even close for that kind of volume. It would be interesting to know if he was given the option, though.

I think that Jimmy stole fizzy lifting drinks from the book in question. He bumped into the ceiling with his father and that caused the book to have to wash and sterliize the ceilings, so, Jimmy got NOTHING.

Vendetta? Going in I wanted to side with Jimmy. I wish that I went in without any bias, but I guess I wanted the little guy to be in the right. I didn't need to read this thread to come to any conclusion, bud, I came to this conclusion after speaking with oddsmaker and Ken as well as reading the emails and threads. I knew what took place before this thread started. I didnt come to a decision based on this thread. You are a neat guy.

I had a job on a forum before this one and I have the chance to do other things if something happened here. You're absolutely clueless. I have disagreed with ken before and done more for the player than anyone. Nice post though.

I think Jimmy got the offer and was like 'what the heck? I'll see if I can't take this bonus, roll it over, and cash it out.' He probably already knew that Oddsmaker is a questionable book, I did (it's had numerous problems before), so I can see things from his perspective. He probably talks about sports gambling with his dad, passed the offer on to his dad, it doesn't say not to. maybe he found it humorous since winning players don't get too many offers like this. I don't think Jimmy is all that surprised about what happened. it is what it is.

I've had pleasant dealings with Mo as well. and just because I say that Shrink is a liar, thief, and con artist doesn't mean I think badly of him...:LMAO

I did not. Hopefully you are not trying to catch me in a lie myself, that will prove to be a difficult catch.

I mean when he lied on tape to oddsmaker and when he lied to Ken. I believe that somewhere on the forum he admitted to misleading someone at some point in this process. He changed his story a couple times.

Re: JIMMYMAC VS. ODDSMAKER DISPUTE: THE VERDICT

this verdict is sickening. oddsmaker is a known scam book, if it wasnt for this they would have made up an excuse for something else.

i have them on tape saying he wasnt getting paid because he was disrespectful. they have no security at their book, just offering up his username they give his full name and balance down to the penny out to me.

when the clerk yelled repeatedly that HE WAS RUDE, AND DISRESPECTFUL. THAT IS WHY WE WILL NOT PAY HIM.

thats how you know this is a D- rated book, rightfully downgraded to F.

this case was rock solid...PAY THE PLAYER.

i know for a fact shrink and mofo do not sleep well about this one..you can say the opposite but I know you do not. :+whipping

oddsmaker :hangt
