It's odd to me it hasn't happened already with the amounts involved and quite frankly more and more novice gamblers entering the market everyday (see Covers has about 10 peeps "I'm new and thought I'd start tracking my plays here threads). The computer algorithms are so sharp nowadays and they feast on this ever burgeoning influx of wanna be cappers like me haha. It's too easy to click deposit, click play, click broke and yes Bovada sucks. There is really no recourse if an offshore site says to go f yourself either and not pay out is there?

So I give bovada a call and ask wtf is going on.  The lady said they canceled all of those wagers based on the fact of a line discrepancy.  I have lost several times on live betting (more than I have won) and did they ever credit my account on a line discrepancy???  Of course not.  Apperantly if you win they can choose to cancel the bet that they offered with the line they set.  They accepted my wagers, and posted them as wins after the games.  Even credited my account with the funds.  This is just wrong on so many levels and now I have to cancel my account with this corrupt site.  Their lines and juice are awful anyways, I just like to line shop when searching for a game.  I have a bookmaker account which has never screwed me over.  Bovada is a hack betting site and discourage anyone from using them so be careful if you are.
