When will the Dodgers/Padres listing go up for tomorrow's game?

Unfortunately, betting is not yet opened for this game. Please check back later.


Lastly, (sorry, not picking on you...love you guys) you show:
18:10 Baltimore (M Gonzalez) @ Boston (A Ranaudo) MLB 2014

But ESPN has said Joe Kelly will be pitching for the Red Sox.

Thanks for notifying us. This appears to be an error and will be corrected.

I'm not sure if I should bet or hold off until this has been cleared up.
  All other books have Kelly going.

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.

When will the Dodgers/Padres listing go up for tomorrow's game?
ESPN has it at:
PickCenter  »
Line: LAD -153, SD 143
Conversation »  Tickets » 
SD:   Despaigne (3-5, 3.06 ERA)
LAD:   Kershaw (17-3, 1.70 ERA)




but I can't even find anywhere to place this wager on DirectBet... Huh

Then 2 books are wrong. Books with banners are rated "A", "B+", "B-" and "C". No one pays for ratings or they would all be "A".

Pinnaclesports refunds your money...............

Read their rules again, see section # 6.

They have a similar rule to us in regards to postponed baseball games.

The only difference is that they apply this rule during postseason only.

Why change the rule during the season and confuse players ?

You see, even you were confused by their rules. You didn't notice section # 6, which contradict the earlier rule that you quoted.

We are in the opinion that it is better to use the same rule all year long.

All books in Vegas grade wagers the same day. The same goes for all books in CR. They consider a suspended game the same as a rain game and grade it that day. The only exception occurs during playoff baseball.

DirectBet rule in regards to postponed baseball games is similar to the ones employed by top on-line books. We have not made up this rule.

The only difference is that some books utilize this rule during postseason only while others at all times.

We at DirectBet believe in simplicity and therefore the same rule is used for all games.

Why change the rule during the season and confuse players ?

Show me some books for the regular season. Every book in Vegas refunds your money. Pinnaclesports refunds your money...............The second rule that you made up is ties. All books refund your money on ties in basketball. You take a portion of the player's money..........When you change a universal rule, it confuses players.

Quote
The result of a game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified.

For betting purposes, the winner of an event will be determined on the date of the event's conclusion. Sportsbooks do not recognize suspended games, protests, scoring amendments, result reversals or overturned decisions.

With baseball rules, it doesn't matter if one other book is wrong. No book should hold your money.

There is no right or wrong here.

If a Baseball game is paused and resumed the following day, and you cancel all bets as you suggest, then those who bet on the leading team will be upset because now they will have to replace the same bets at lower odds. If on the other hand you keep the bets until the completion of the event, then some will be upset because their funds will be locked for another day.

As you can see, no matter how you deal with postponed games, some will always be negatively affected and there is no right or wrong way to deal with it.

Therefore, there are 3 most important things that we at DirectBet are doing :

1) We clearly state the rules.

2) We follow the rules consistently no matter if it favors the relevant bet or not.

3) We have a dedicated and helpful support team that can work out with you in case there is a problem.
 
Rain games are settled after 5 and so are postponed games.

but this was neither of those. It was a suspended game that was being resumed where it left off, the next day.
One thing that bothers me is that rain could have forced the game to continue to Sunday.

Another thing that bothers you is that DirectBet won't pay you to promote them.  Wink


 I'm pulling for them if they get some competitive lines. I pull for all books to make it since it's good for the industry as a whole.

Did you see the live lines today in college at DirectBet? There were times that they didn't have a line on both sides in any game on the board. Most were negotiate on both sides, at least one side but never on both unless it was something like -1200/+300.

They could really take advantage of the lack of live lines in college at other books but they don't have lines up or they are unplayable.

I hope they have some decent lines for the NFL but history says they won't have competitive lines. The other books say they will have live lines for the NFL but that's another wait and see. Right now the only reason to play at fiat books is that they have live lines that give the player a chance.
