    Know this if you bet on Fanduel.....

     

    1) If you place an "in game" wager and the point spread changes when you place the bet,,,,they do NOT give you an option to decline the wager....They just place the wager at the updated odds which in general are AGAINST the bettor. On one occasion, I got on their "chat" help service, told a rep about it and was put on hold so long I think he just went away. This last time,,,,I didn't say anything. But I also won't use them anymore.

     

    2) Odds suck.....There are other books with better odds.

     

    3) Personally, I've now won $2500 there but lost it all and dumped $2000 more in chasing my loss....After all of that,,,,nothing. No incentives, No perks.

    You may want to double check your account settings. I think you can set it up to ask you if you want the wager to automatically accept the updated odds. I use them on occasion and have no problem with the numbers they set, as they are still above and beyond what Draftkings and BetMGM throw out there.

    Draftkings sux.  They actually went out and said they only want recreational bettors for entertainment.  If you make any money off them they kick you out.

    Go to h ell.  Why would anyone play there.  They are on record saying we hope our customers lose and we take their money

    They spent more on marketing than anyone, and they will go out of business and imo the sooner the better

    Heritage Sports -- not any better on live betting. I had a bad line of +22.5 on Temple MDES told me well theres nothing they could do about it as the actual line was +24.5. So i had to absorb the loss.

    Then on an BYU/ Oregon ESPN game I had a clear winner they said I had a bad line which and decided to cancel my live betting wager. They waited for about 30 minutes when it was clear in the 2nd half oregon wasnt coming back to notify me the wager was cancelled. Cost me 1700 bucks. Spoke to a supervisor said "we stand by our decision" as if their 3rd party live betting partners conduct was my problem. Stay away.

    bud....Just wanted to get some insight about Draftking.. In New York there are 2 books operating at a site in State,there are no platiforms all wagers are in-person.One of the books is Draftking at a casino in Central NY (del lago) They say they will have a platform by the Super Bowl but they have been pissing for 7-8 months. I don't like to Lay Points and 90% of the bets at del lago are placed @ kiosk. I had to cash a ML parlay where I lay about $9300 and I paid off about $16,000.What got me was as I was standing at the counter to get paid,a guy came out from the inner-office and said he needed my ss#.I told him no you don't as the bet was only $9300 cash(less the 10k needed for ss# reporting).He said that DK likes to keep track of "bettors this size" and I would receive a gift in the mail for giving the info.

    Needless to say all I got was a F*ck You and I wanted to ask if DraftKings would Cut me Off if I continue to establish an account and bet so Unrecreationly???

    Anybody who has dealt with DraftKings would be good to hear from experience. I'm interested in Dealing with actual DraftKing phone/computer Users.DK shut you down??

    Thanks.

Go to h ell.  Why would anyone play there.  They are on record saying we hope our customers lose and we take their money They spent more on marketing than anyone, and they will go out of business and imo the sooner the better

     

    bud....Just wanted to get some insight about Draftking.. In New York there are 2 books operating at a site in State,there are no platiforms all wagers are in-person.One of the books is Draftking at a casino in Central NY (del lago) They say they will have a platform by the Super Bowl but they have been pissing for 7-8 months. I don't like to Lay Points and 90% of the bets at del lago are placed @ kiosk. I had to cash a ML parlay where I lay about $9300 and I paid off about $16,000.What got me was as I was standing at the counter to get paid,a guy came out from the inner-office and said he needed my ss#.I told him no you don't as the bet was only $9300 cash(less the 10k needed for ss# reporting).He said that DK likes to keep track of "bettors this size" and I would receive a gift in the mail for giving the info.

    Needless to say all I got was a F*ck You and I wanted to ask if DraftKings would Cut me Off if I continue to establish an account and bet so Unrecreationly???

    Anybody who has dealt with DraftKings would be good to hear from experience. I'm interested in Dealing with actual DraftKing phone/computer Users.DK shut you down??

    Thanks.

     YES I AGREE.  AS HORRIBLE AS BOOKS ARE THEY ARE REGULATED SO THEY WANT TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS SO THEY SHOULD HAVE OPTIONS TO EITHER ALLOW THE BET AS IS OR TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE CHANGE IN ODDS

    Very first weekend (or maybe 2nd) of college football...tried to live bet MSU 1h on either draftkings or Fanduel. They locked the game! 

    Try BetMGM for live bets...great odds for pro sports. You'll see often see +140 to +170 odds on NFL overs and sharp plays, which often hit. Sometimes they'll lift the live 3q line when the 3q starts for NBA games...minor annoyance. Saw it last night with Hou vs GS. GS won the 3q by 10 or so. MGM is great on payouts. I'm loving it.
