Angry Oddsmaker Is A Scam!!!

I am a small player. Deposited 250 so they would match 250. Total scam!!! They match with free money which is a ratio of 1 dollar to every 30 dollars bet!!! Gets better though. I got my account up to 1300 so I cashed out 500. Took almost a month to get the check. Deposited the check and thought everything was cool. Next thing you know...2 weeks later the check comes back NSF!!!!! So now after calling for 2 days, I finally spoke to someone and they said the check that the bank account was from had been closed because of someone writing fraudulent checks and that a new check is going to be mailed out to me thurs or fri. COMPLETE HORSE SHIT!!! I guess i'll wait and see if I get another check.. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT I CAN DO IF I DON'T RECEIVE ANOTHER CHECK??? PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOGUS SITE!!! EVEN THE POKER ROOM IS CRAP!!! THE BAD BEAT JACKPOT IS UP TO LIKE $700,000...I GUESS SO..THEY WILL PROBABLY NEVER PAY THAT OFF EITHER!!! ANY ADVICE???

Oddsmaker is rated as a D- at sports book review, so there is a good probability that you'll never get paid.

This happened to me at another scambook years back, before I learned my lesson. They always offer awesome first time deposit bonuses. The only problem is they're never going to pay out anyways.

My advice for the future is to never use a book rated below a B at sports book review.

My advice for getting your money back:

This actually worked for me, but it's not guaranteed to work and it requires dedication, aggression and lots of time. What I did was harassed the shit out of the sportsbook that did the same thing to me. I called them incessantly and in bursts, sometimes I would call seven or eight times in a row irritated and irate. If they have email support write an email and shoot it out about 20 times a day. After about a week of this relentless assault, they paid me.

I figured the only reason they paid me is because I became such a thorn in their side, they figured it was just worth paying me off to get me off their backs.

Good luck and I hope you get your money, I know how frustrating it is.

Thanks for the advice and I have already started the harassment!!! There is nothing more that fires you up than to win money from these scammers and not get paid!!! I will only use b rated sportsbooks or better in the future.

do what they said in here, you have to keep calling.

don't give them a minute to rest.

let them know you're on plenty (even if it's only one) big handicapping forums and you'll be letting them know how their customer service has treated you and how disappointed you are with their pay out, or lack thereof.

honestly do not stop calling, that's the only way you'll get it. empty your account ASAP and use the greek or betjam. problems like these avoided 99% of the time and the good dr. jack can take care of certain smaller issues in many cases.

gl man, keep us posted, and always always always always ask around about any sports book before depositing from now on. the list of trusted books on here is 100% solid.

Or get the bible thumpers out of the government, get some sane people in there who realize that sports betting is not going to stop and legalize online betting so it can be regulated and players are not taken as suckers like some of these sites do to them because they know you are pretty well.... screwed to do anything about it.
