    Let me first say I'm relatively new to betting. Last year I went to vegas for a conference and placed a few college football bets and felt like it added a new dimension to the game. Now I had a reason to root for a team in a game I didn't care about. I came back to Boise and decided to look into an online sportsbook. Did about 10 minutes of research and decided on bookmaker made a deposit couldn't have been easier. I placed $1 bets all hockey season. Now I know guys are going to come on here and say hike up your skirt alice $1 bets aint shit your wasting your time; but this is entertainment for me I'm not trying to supplement my coke habit. Nevertheless I cashed out $250 and left my original deposit in to play with and promptly ran down to my coke guys house to celebrate. Now this is the first week since I cashed out and I'm betting playoff hockey and bookmaker has made what appears to be two unforced errors after months of shooting straight. I'd like to hear some feedback from guys who have been doing this for some time am I being fucked with cuz I'm a small bettor who managed to make a little profit. Or should I give bookmaker the benefit of the doubt I feel silly chasing down 3 dollars by calling bookmaker to complain but its the principle if I had lost those bets they would have taken my money. If anybody is interested I can explain the problems just didn't want to ramble on and on.

    Never had a problem with Bookmaker.

    Please go into more detail about the problem.  Was it simply a Grading issue?  How did you make your first deposit?  CC, Bitcoin, cash?
    How did you receive your first payment?  CC, Bitcoin, cash?

    I made the first deposit and my withdrawl with bitcoin as i already has the account open and didnt fully trust giving my cc info to a bookie all went smooth and like i mentioned bookmaker was reliable until i cashed out then on wednesday they had a O/U 4.25 +210 on the wash v tor game wierd right never seen a quarter point but it was the same as a half point i just figured it was a typo and my experience with the prop bets all season long was that it should have been 4.5 anyway well the game ended 3-1 so im a winner right nope they paid me half of what i should have won so i figured oh well somebody made an error and they are meeting me halfway although i still feel they would have taken my money if i lost it so then last night i took another prop bet this time bos to win by 1 point to include overtime well bos wins 3-2 and this one they called a loss and took my money much more blatant outright calling a clear win a loss I've taken other similar bets offered this postseason and have won

    Bookmaker has always been good to me.
    You bet a .25 line Asian line.
    they graded it right I believe its a push and a win
    i'd stick to halves...good luckwindow.post_1492885708722_9 = function(win,msg){ win.postMessage(msg,"*"); }window.post_1492885712641_23 = function(win,msg){ win.postMessage(msg,"*"); }

    Yup, I've never had an issue with bookmaker, and would be shocked if they risked their reputation over a couple dollar bets.

    Glad they corrected the Bruins bet, but I agree with the above poster.  You bet the Asian line and it was graded correctly.  When you see a .25 point it is wha's known as an Asian line, and what that means is your stake gets split in half and you are actually making two bets...50 cents on o/u 4 and the other 50 cents on o/u 4.5.  So you had the under meaning the 4.5 wins and the 4 pushes.

    Don't worry man, you said you're new to betting and this was just a simple inexperienced mistake of not knowing exactly what it is you're betting on or making a wrong assumption.  Most of us have been there before or lying if we say we haven't.
