Of course it is. You expect anything different?

updated the OP.

The first PMC member to point out publicly, by posting in the affected thread, of an apparent typographical error will receive a 'thank you' stipend from the bookie for pointing out the error.

Does this count for the rules too? if so...

(since changing point spreads will change previously places bets in vBookie)

should be

(since changing point spreads will change previously placed bets in vBookie)

I just want to refresh everyone's memory on the house rules for the Bookie.
If you read and understand the rules, there should be no reason to get pissed when you load your nut on a lock that gets abandoned.

Any questions?

Note the following house rule, as listed above:

Please note, bets placed anonymously cannot be seen by ANYONE and as such, cannot be corrected when an error is made.

This means that ANY and ALL bets placed anonymously WILL NOT be paid out manually, period. If you place a bet anonymously, you run the risk of error. Errors include settling the wrong side of a bet, missing a winning option, and errors in lines that need to be settled manually. ONLY bets placed publicly will be paid out manually.


Place bets anonymously at your own risk.

In that event Shadow, where does the anonymous bet chips go? Do they get them back? Do they go to the bank? Do they just go to space?

[dermaestro]

I imagine they go to the bank. Only abandoned bets get returned to all bettors, anonymous or not.

[Shadow]

They end up in the bank. It is a complete risk. As stated before NO ONE can see anonymous bets. There is NO WAY to refund them, otherwise, I'd pay them out and it wouldn't be an issue. Currently, the only way to verify an anonymous bet is for the bettor to post screen shots. I am not going to go through the headaches of trying to track the amounts bet and who bet anonymously to correct a mistake. The simple answer is don't bet anonymously and you'll get paid for your winning bets every time. Bet anonymously and you assume the risk of error.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to avoid paying out the bets. I don't profit in any way (other than saving myself some time) from not paying them out. If I make a mistake, I fix it. And lord knows I/we make mistakes from time to time settling bets. But settling anonymous bets manually is just another layer of TPS reports I don't want to deal with.
