With those odds the bet makes no sense.

A pre-tourney No Djokovic would mean player has to win or finish 2nd if Djok wins. But, that's pretty fked up for a tennis tourney with Nishikori on the same side of the draw. He can't finish 2nd to Djok, so any cut odds for eliminating Djok from the field is just a theft for guys on his side.

The odds were a bad price for the final today (closed -110 at pinny). I'm guessing something got fked up and it was a price for todays match just entered into the wrong event?

Of course it won't be refunded. The bet was lost fairly.
You're saying that the odds were low? It was his own choice to make this bet.

I agree that the intent would make the player a loser. The odds were bad but I also agree that's irrelevant. It's just that all other sportsbooks refund money on improper tickets. DirectBet doesn't abide by universal rules. It's similar to players losing some money on ties. This only happens at DirectBet. It will be interesting to hear their new rule on this one. At least it will clear it up for the future.

Those odds are really screwed up and his money should be returned. The bet was placed 8/25. This meant that Nishikori has to finish 1st. Or he can finish 2nd if Djokovic wins the tourney. Because Nishikori and Djokovic were on the same side of the draw, it was impossible for them to be 1 and 2. Those odds, as well as the bet, make absolutely no sense. -131 to win the tourney and he had to beat Djokovic along the way to the finals.

No, look up the transaction...from blockchain transaction of the bet: Received Time 2014-09-08 20:57:56

He actually sent in the bet within seconds of the finals starting (couple days after Djokovic was already knocked out).

Whew. Glad we're all on the same page now.

Then the ticket is written incorrectly and the money should be refunded. The ticket doesn't list the name of the second player.

It's written up as future with a start date of 8/25 to win the open w/o Djokovic. It's cut and dry unless DirectBet is going to make up another rule.

You are way off base tonight. It's written as the U.S. Open began on 8-25.
Every ticket for these types of events (if you remember the Wolrd Cup), every single one lists the opening day of the event.

You were caught being wrong. I posted the blockchain timestamp. You're better off leaving while you're way behind.

Obviously the ticket was meant for the last match, even though -131 was terrible (closed -110 at other books), but intent has nothing to do with an improper ticket. Every other book would refund the bet. Djokovic should not have been listed. The ticket was written as a futures bet.

he won to djokovic.this bet should be won???

That bet was placed after he beat djokovic. It was a bet to win the U.S. Open.
He came in second, not winning. So, the bet lost.

Your bet was 'to win the tournament when Djockovic doesn't participate.'
You chose Nishikori. Unfortunately for you he didn't win. Cilic did.

Hi, first of all I wanna thank you for your great site.

Unfortunately I experienced an issue regarding my bets on the BMW Golf Championship Tournament. After the event has ended i got an message telling me my bets will be "settled manually"-dead heat.

The dead heat rule is pretty much clear to me now (after I read the rules:)) but I couldn't find any information on how long it's going to take to receive my winning bets. So how long will the manual settlement take to pay the actual bets?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for betting at DirectBet.

These bets have now been reviewed and settled.

No confusion here. Post season is universal. Your rules are unique. You have them posted so it's no big deal other than confusing.

Our rule is not unique. The book that pays you to rate them on top of your fake "ratings guide" has a similar rule, as do other top books.

You are forcefully trying to find excuses to bash DirectBet because we refused to bribe you for ratings.

I appreciate the consistency if the rules.
Not made on the stop, but clearly listed.

(My only complaint is that I'd like to place higher baseball bets...Plus, no odds given on Dodgers/Padres game tomorrow.)

Still a 5/5 rating compared to those other cruddy books.

tins - just a quick follow up that this game is now available for betting.

The pitcher name on the other game was also corrected earlier today.

In regards to higher betting limits, please see my earlier post and PM me if it does not meet your needs.

Thanks again for your feedback and support.

Yeah this is definitely one of the better sportsbooks that I'd rate of 5/5.

Thanks !

Quote from: ?? on ??

The only thing I don't like is the maximum bet on baseball too.

You mean that the maximum bet size is too low ?

If so, please read this : http://www.directbet.eu/FAQ.cshtml#MaxBet

Usually you can bet more than the maximum advised. Best approach is to send the maximum amount, then after your bet is confirmed it will tell you if and how much more you can send.

If that doesn't work for you for any reason, please PM me the relevant bets and we will look into improving it for future games.

Is betting open for who will get into the World Series or can you make one?

Unfortunately not, sorry. We do offer bets on who will win the World Series, National League and American League.
