Oh What It Could Have Been

[thesandman]

I Don't Know Weather To Be Happy Or To Be Sad. Below Is An 8 Game Progressive Parley. Hitting All Eight Would Have Paid $22,500. This Is The Sad Part. Kentucky Was Ahead 31-14 At Half Time As Just A 6 Point Favorite. They Blow It All And Hang On To Win By 4 Points. No Cover, No 22 Thousand Dollars For Me.

Now Here's The Good Part. The Other 7 All Covered At 10-1, And I Won $3,000. I'm Very Happy And Will Be Even Happier Later On When Everything Sinks In, But For Now. Oh, What It Could Have Been. When I Made This Bet, I Was Thinking I Could Miss 2 Of The Eight And Still Win $600, At Two To One. That Would Be Nice.

Bad rub by Kentucky. Nice play overall.

Wow!!

I didnt see what happen in the KY game but at least you won some cash

[3ebRocks]

Thats awesome bud, congrats to you. Great job. What would have been the ultimate was if the UK game started later than the rest and you could have hedged. But it didnt, so you couldnt. But how great would that have been knowing you have 15k in your pocket no matter what happened? Heck, 3K is pretty awesome though so much congrats to ya. Let me ask you though, what is a progressive parlay as opposed to a not progressive parlay?

[thesandman]

3EBROCKS. Most offshores don't offer these but sportsbook.com does. This link should take you to their Progressive Parley Site, where they explain everything about Progressive Parleys. If something dosent make sense, just let me know and I'll try to tell you what they are saying. One major difference between these and reqular parleys, with progressive parleys, ties lose. You need to remember that.

You were right about hedging. If it was possible, I might have hedged maybe 5 dimes, knowing I already had 3 dimes no matter what. Then it would have been +17,500 or +8,000

Boy were you locked in, so damn close. I love gambles like this. Glad you still won good money. Post a couple next time, I'll play along.

Just an FYI I no longer deal with Sportbook dot com I hit a 5 team 18,800 dollar parlay 4 years ago and they refused to pay me out I fought with them for 4 months almost. They void the wager after the fourth team hit and the 5th one was up 20 at half and only need to win by 4.5. They said the wager was placed late when I placed it the night before. Just be careful making huge parlays and expecting to get paid out on these.

Wow! These crooks are glad to take your money though. I deal only with a local I have known 15 years. He wont take pars that way but he pays off.

Sorry to hear that. What finally happened after 4 months. All I can say is tonights winnings were in my account as soon as the last team won. I've used them since 2003 and never had a problem and I had some decent sized payouts. I made two withdrawl requests this month and one check came in just 4 days, the other in one week. They were owned by a public company in England, but after all the crap last January, were sold back for one dollar to the guys that started up the company years ago. I also use bookmaker.com for the plays sportsbook.com dosen't offer and I've been happy with bookmaker too.

The one thing both places have in common is when, heaven forbid, I have to make a deposit, I can use my VISA card, either online or over the phone and don't have to go thru all the crap with Western Union to get the money picked up.

I gave up and went to the greek I wasnt doing well at picking games with dealing the shit every day trying to get paid. I now am blocked out of my accounts there and everytime a set up a new one to play there free online casino the next day its is blocked. I posted on a bunch of forums about what happened and they said I was no longer welcome lol
