I just want my money... (Pinnacle)

[jackal]

I had the Phillies over 82 wins on Pinnacle.... They won their 83rd on Wednesday.

So, why not grade my wager and give me the money?

I write them and they say (Which is totally understandable):

Dear Sir,

Grading of future wagers does not occur until the season has ended. The reason for this is that the season is not yet technically official.

For example, if some cataclysmic event were to occur, the season would be cancelled and all wagers would be deemed no action.

This is standard for futures wagers in all sports and is so handled by Las Vegas casinos.

Not a problem really at all, because othe sportsbooks do this. But what really ticked me off is the second the Mets clinched the NL East, my Phillies to win the Division bet was graded a loser.

When I wrote them back stating:

If this is true, then why was wager 61832765-1 marked a loser?

The season is not over, and even though the Mets clinched the division something "cataclysmic" could occur and all wagers would be deemed no action.

Their reply was:


Dear Sir,

We have forwarded your message to our Grading Department for further review.

As soon as we have any updates we will contact you back.

Obviously I am nitpicking, but don't say one thing and then do another. I know they are the best book online and note that ive NEVER had a cashout or any other problem with them. But come on, I said I needed the money to place football bets, not to cashout lol.

Well ... If you have an over play on a total in any sport, you don't get the money until the game is over either. If you play over in a football game and it goes over before halftime, you still don't get your money until the game goes final right?

I see no problem really as everyone should know it's not paid out until season's end.

Season win totals are graded different that TO WIN props. I had over 82 on the Phils and my bet is still active at Pinny.

[birdog]

you only got a couple days man

I do think it should be paid out to ya

[Kaptain]

go back there and read their rules, they state that in em----I encountered this in the past, they will pay once seqson is declared officially over----good call by the way----kapt

When I saw your subject, that really scared me until I read your post. Barring something "cataclysmic", like Ortiz hitting 5 Home Runs in the next 3 games, while Howard dosen't hit any (he has been stuck on 58) Pinny is going to owe me $10,000.

Speaking of "cataclysmic", has anyone been watching Jericho on Wednesday night. It's about a small Kansas town during the beginning of a nuclear war. So far, it's been pretty good.

that means u get paid once regular season is over right not?

Yes, i've watched both episodes of Jericho and so far its pretty good. Isn't the writer of Alias doing this show?

I thought Invasion was cancelled? It stars Carla Gugino (spelling)?

It might of been, They dragged that show out. Still left open questions. Oh well, we were getting bored with it anyway.
