Congrats dude.

This is exactly the kind of story that will drag many of the degenerates around here deeper into the hole.  It's like the time when your buddy did coke for the first time, and said it was the best experience of his life...of course you followed the train the next weekend.

There's gonna be 10-teamers all over the fuckin' place around here for the next little while.

Congrats on the best hit ever reported on Covers that has been verified and confirmed.



Look at the logic. Why would any sportsbook put a ceiling on what they'll pay out?

Second alot of you bashing little pricks need to apologize to ironpicks for calling him a liar and bashing him when all he did was ask for help.That means you:

gutcheck

Iw1nBets

Godfather16

Sharp_Action

gold6185

smoking376

Cleek111

Instead of helping the guy and giving him a little friendly advice you bashed him and called him a liar. Sad if you ask me



well first of all apologize for what?  reread all of my 2posts in this thread. the only thing i talked about about was how its fake since books have $150k or 100k max's and he wouldnt get the $217k (turns out i was right and others who suggested it as well).  also note it is easy to photoshop.

of course this is the 100th thread posted about winning a huge parlay, jackpot, slot machine, etc  and the only reliable source to back it up was Lou....(after I made my first post)

again i want to stress to ironpicks that in the future do not wager 1/4th of your bankroll on a 10tm parlay.  the picture you posted indicated this very play and how you wagered in the past (page 1 for any interested).  you need to start using proper bankroll management especially after obtaining this sizeable bankroll.

good luck...

1. Congrats IronPicks!

2. Thank you Lou for keeping the books in line and always having the player's back.

3. BetEd's stock just skyrocketed in my books -- it's nice to see a legitimate book doing the right thing and I'm sure their reputation will benefit from this.

4. To all the haters, you guys fucking suck. It doesn't matter who posts what or what they say, there are ALWAYS haters... and you know what's funny, if Lou hadn't confirmed this monster win, people would still be doubting. I obviously had my doubts like everyone else but there was no way I was going to come in and bash IronPicks....... Get a life haters!!!!

It's even more funny to see the haters getting called out limping back in to defend themselves... fucking losers.

Like cleek, you said it was fake because there are usually parlay max's and since there are in this case, you think you're right... WRONG FUCKTARD. You look like a fool because you thought you knew the rules but you don't because you're betting pennies and would never come across any 'max' rules so you can only assume... and you assumed wrong.

The haters should really man up an apologize.... but knowing the cowards that you are, you'll likely avoid this thread like the plague... or come in with some weak excuse like cleek or gutcheck did.

To the people saying Beted's stock has risen:

They're giving the guy a 30% haircut and you are .
Would you do the same if your boss cut your salary from 45,000 to 30,000?

I still in the back of my mind think this is a publicity stunt to drum up the parlay business. I'm not accusing you of lying, I just can't get that nagging little feeling out of my mind

esplanade -- if their maximum parlay payout is in the rules, then that's not them giving him a 30% haircut, that's just enforcing their policies. Does it suck that the payout displayed and calculated was 60,000 higher? Absolutely. It is something that BetEd should fix as it could lead to future problems. That being said, why I'm saying BetEd's stock is risen to me is because they are ACTUALLY PAYING OUT $150,000 from all indications. I don't care what freaking book you are -- if you are paying out $150,000 wins, your book is healthy and I doubt you will have problems paying out wins of $5,000 or $10,000 like some books do.

Betting $500.00 on a 10 leg parlay: Crazy!

 

Winning  $150,000: Priceless

 

Great hit IronPicks

Like I've always said... you know what you're getting into when you choose your bookie. I play with Pinnacle because I play straight and I like low vig... Other people play elsewhere for other reasons, and I don't judge, because as long as it pays, I play. I know many other books that would NEVER honour anywhere near 150k payout... it's nice to see a bookie pay.

Besides, I thought it was well understood that you ACTUALLY READ ALL THE TERMS, AGREEMENTS, RULES, ETC. with your books... but I guess it serves a lesson to those of you who skipped over that part. I know the limits with my book...

Congrats 



Wish you would have gotten the full 217k but it was in the rules that they only pay 150k.

Either way that's a tremendous score obviously.   Don't blow it.   Buy a house or something.   With all these foreclosures going on you might be able to pick up a pretty nice one cheap.

Man, you are a complete idiot.  How old are you? I didn't give a excuse, I said I found it hard to believe and I  still do. By the way, I also told him nice hit.

You are WRONG. If the guy was aware of the rules he would have known what his maximum payout would be if he hit his parlay. He was NEVER going to get 217K and the rules state this. Perhaps if he was aware of the rules he could have made his parlay an 8 teamer to win the $150k, instead of taking the extra risk by making it a 10 teamer and for $67k that he was NEVER going to get paid.

In saying that, as I said previously, I do think that BetED should credit his acct the remaining balance, or at least some of it, and attach a rollover clause to it so that he can play with money that he rightfully won but will not receive due to their ( and most books ) max payout rules.

I think he's just fine without your advice.

Congrats IronPicks on your very nice win. 

I would contact a lawyer in your area and talk to him/her about the best way to collect your money. Don't tell them how much because they'll want a %. Currently, it is very safe in your BetEd account because it was verified by Lou and if BetEd did anything it would hurt their sportsbook rating. Honestly, your money is 100% safe with them. 
I'm not sure how much BetEd will pay you in a lump sum as I don't use them but you have to remember you just can't deposit a large amount into you bank account (US banks) without having someone from the FBI showing up at your house. Believe me you don't want that headache or more scruntity down the road on future deposits to your bank account. The Patriot Act gives the US Government lots of power that may not be aware of. I only say this because you didn't realize you overbet your original amount and were denied 60k but it was in accordance with BetEd's rules.

GREAT HIT !!!!!!!!  was kinda crazy that u put 500 on a 10teamer.

that is the crazy part, not that winning a 10 teamer is! so many people hate because they never won a 8-12 team parlay! most dont even try, they just assume its damn near impossible, but this is not true! some one said that the odds of winning a 10 teamer is like winning the lottery, TRUST the odds of winning a 10 teamer is WAY HIGHER than the lotto! I play lotto every day and never won! but i play a 9-12 teamer every friday. I have won a 12tmr twice, a 10 tmr four times, a 9tmr once! ( and 5-8 tmrs lots of times) all since sep-08! although i never put 500 on it, hell i never put 20 on it! its usually 10dlrs and 15 sometimes! although the funny thing is,as soon as you win you always wished you woulda put more! How many times did you put that kinda money on a 10 teamer? wheather its 500 0r a 100?
