Topic: Gambling sites including unsolicited games in betslips to ensure it fails (Read 347 times)

If it's indeed the gambling sites that are doing this, they're cheating. This is unfair. This is even fraud. I suggest that your friend gather the evidence and file a scam report here.

Of course this isn't a global practice. Although I am not doing multi-betting often, so far I have not experienced this even from the different crypto sportsbooks that I used.

Your friend should name the betting sites not only so that bettors here will be warned but also for the sports betting sites themselves to be given the chance to respond.

So your friend's seeing some weird stuff with his bet slips on different sites and I think it's not a global thing but each betting platform can have its quirks in how it handles bets. Checking the fine print and rules for each site might shed some light on why this is happening. Despite the oddities, it's awesome that he's been raking in wins but just a heads up to keep an eye on these glitches for a smoother betting ride haha

Maybe those two betting sites use the same odds provider, but it's unusual to see him being screwed over when sportsbooks would mostly put a limit on winning bettors.

I remember reading a complaint from a gambler where he wanted to bet on the live underdog with the points and instead, the system somehow gave him a bet with the negative points. In the end, he got his money back after filing a dispute.

OP also mentioned that his friend was a winning bettor, and it could be their way of stopping those winners.

If you do not want us to fall victim of such sportsbookies, it will be nice of you to tell us their names so that we can go ahead and do our findings. If this is true it will be the most crazy story about sportsnookies that I have heard.

Never had this experience. Did he reach out to their support to make a complaint or share his displeasure? If not, that should be what he should do. Reputable sports bookies will never do you like this because they have a name to protect. If he is not satisfied with their response, he should call them out on the internet and provide good evidence for it. Netizens will pick it up from there.

Naturally local betting shops are in found of doing this and when a results comes out it's then you would noticed that you have done a very big mistake so as a gambler it's best advisable to avoid being in haste to make your selection after which there is a need to revisit your games before finally staking them to print out your slips. There are other trusted and reputable casino he can refer his friend over in this forum, already this is a bad practice by those casino as they are trying to tarnished their image.

I haven't had this challenge before but it could be that some casinos can do the trick to make sure that their customers lose their bet. In gambling, people usually lose a lot more than their wining ranks and I feel that there are definitely tricks that casinos are using to cheat us the gamblers, making it possible for them to always win while we lose. Even in my country, no body have complained of this same challenge but that doesn't means that it may not be happening in some other country. If I face such challenge, the casinos would have to give me a better answer to why such error have occurred or I will just report the casinos and give them a bad rating.

I have not had this kind of experience before in all of my life on any betting platform. The only time that I can remember seeing a game that was not part of my selection in my slipt was a day I visited a physical game shop, and this was an error from the cashier that day, so I had to reprint the slipt.  

If your friend is noticing this in his slipt only at two casinos, then there is something awkward about those casinos as they are trying to make him lose his games in order for them to earn money from him. He should try and avoid such casinos, as such behaviour is not far from a scam if it is clearly not a bug but an intentional act from the casino management.

I think I have noticed something like this before and I think it's actually the website error because some games you would have mistakenly placed before and have now failed to remove although sometimes even if you remove the game the site still adds it back and that's the issue with this particular  site but I stopped using it because it feels as if am being set up by the casino although it might a normal error but since it has happened more than once I choose to let it not happen again.

Do you mean he noticed it on two different betting companies? That's serious. Well, I can't be so thorough in my response about it if the names of the casinos are not posted for verification. But in my experience, I have never noticed this before despite having long years of gambling online. Maybe your friend should be more careful next time as we can't entirely believe that the fault is from the casinos. The fact that it is no more one company means that something might be wrong on his side, so he should be very careful next time.

On second thought, since you said he is winning, the casinos might be tricky. He can only know if he could be so patient to snap or screenshot all the games played before clicking on the submit/confirm as the case may be. With this, the truth can be unveiled, and if it's the fault of the casinos, he can take it up with them. Since he is winning, they might be trying to spoil his ticket through the additional games. However, I am just saying that nothing is impossible in this current dispensation and it takes more investigation to know it.

I wonder why you can't also be of help to him. You can open accounts with the same casinos and try it out to ascertain what is going on. If realised to be the fault of the casinos, you can point their attention to it to challenge them. Who knows, it could be a technical fault as well, we can't just conclude even if the fault is from them, especially if the two are using the same company for their gambling software.

Hmmm, this really sound crazy if you ask me because since my many years of gambling I don't think I have ever come across such thing before and I think your friend might be over reacting or maybe the fault could be from the site maybe an error in the page of the website where the bettor wants to stake or place the bet. Sometimes the sight might be slow in processing and maybe failed to remove a game that he once selected and him too might fail to cross check for certainty before playing.

the man probably just clicks every match he sees adding them on his multi bet and then forgets he added those matches.
i have this method of adding them all and then removing those matches that i'm unsure whether my picks would win. but whichever they are, i'm pretty sure i know which matches i added in the end. if something is suddenly listed and it causes my bet to lose i would likely protest so far there is nothing like this has happened.

can OP ever mention which casino?

If someone truly knew the winning teams, wouldn't they bet on those instead of guaranteed losers? Chasing amplified parlay odds while knowing the outcome sounds sus, like claiming you saw Bigfoot but only have blurry phone footage of a hairy bush. Look, online gambling has security measures tighter than Fort Knox, and without solid proof , these claims are harder to investigate than a whodunnit with no clues. ‍Instead of chasing gambling ghosts, let's focus on the real deal, responsible game. Setting limits, knowing the risks, and treating gambling like a fun night out, not a get-rich-quick scheme, is the true winning formula.

If it was just a single site I might have said he probably made an error and clicked on a game mistakenly but the fact that it happened in both sites seems strange to me. I’ve never experienced anything like that - if you don’t mind can you ask your friend for the site’s name so that we can check its history whether there have been reports of similar incidents.

By the way, is this the first time something like this has happened to your friend? If “no” then try creating an account and bet on the same games as your friend and see if you’ll notice anything strange.

This is strange, I'm hearing this for the first time but if this actions of betting platform is true, then they need to be investigated and punished for this act. If you know are not ready to pay people when they win then you don't have the right to take their money when they lose, all gambling platforms should know. It's this useless platforms that behaves like this.

But if we are defending your friend, we should also be cautious of what we say, I hope your friend didn't mistakenly added those games and perhaps he forgot to remove them, it's going to sound strange for this kind of thing to occur in betting platforms, not saying it's not possible but it's unprofessional and it's like stealing money from customers.

Next time, even if you don't trust the casino, your friend should bet again in the platform and make sure he screenshot his games and if that occur again, he will have evidence to sue and if they are license to operate in the country, he is going to make a lot of money from the company or stealing money from customers.

I think it's too quick to accuse the casino and think negatively about them, it could be that the mistake came from your friend without realizing that there were several bets that he put into the betting slip, so they weren't visible to him, isn't it that before betting, everyone can check it first so that all the bets are made? entered into the betting slip is correct and suitable, if there is a problem he should delete it, so you also need to be careful in this matter because cases like this are rarely found.

I have never encountered a problem like your friend's but if it happened to me, the first thing I would do is check again before I bet all the bets on the betting slip, the point is to check before betting because of course we can't accuse the gambling site of doing so. cheating and trying to thwart us from that bet, I probably won't be quick to make that decision because we are only human, sometimes we often forget and accidentally choose a bet that we don't want and it becomes a disaster for ourselves.  

In addition to the comment above asking for proof, that would be positive because we can be talking here about an invented story, it seems that nobody has seen this kind of glitches and only a few have "heard" about them, so this doesn't seem to be a typical practice.

Maybe his friend doesn't remember making these "risky", "creative" choices, an he is deceiving himself. Anyway, if the casino has no reputation, when in doubt, advice him to better go and play in one with better reputation.

I haven't gotten such experience before, I haven't even heard of it. I think before you place your bet, you will have to review it before going ahead to stake. At what points did they add this other games, is it at the point of you staking to play or at the point of viewing the games, because after selecting my games and I tried to review it and see other games that i initially did not put, it is for me at that point to remove them.
If it has been a reoccurring decimal with the betting site, where they add up games for people that did not select those games, then I feel to a enlarge extend that, is more like a criminal offense if the betting company is fond of doing this.  Please OP, what's the name of this betting site?

Well, this is something that's too good to be true, you can't blame the readers for asking questions, you OP and few people have make some unbelievable posts on this forum, that's too strong to believe, why not back it up with some proof?

A screenshot would erase all doubt, because it's crazy for even a scam casino to do this, I am waiting for the name of the casino at least, can you provide that? I bet it will be some stupid casino that nobody knows.

I still don't understand why people blindly trust anything they come across online, like why should you trust a platform with your money when there is no reviews online or when there is no single reputation that the casino have build in time, you need some answers to provide.

Tell your friend to quit that casino now, because even if he wins there is no way he will be able to withdraw because they are already making him lose with false betslips, what is he still doing on such casino?

Since I entered the world of sports betting I have never seen anyone complaining that he made multibet bets with a certain number of teams and when he saw the result he realized that he had more teams in his parlay than those he added. I have never seen these types of cases, I have seen many cases of scams involving casinos, but in most cases the complaints are arrested withdrawals, deposits that did not arrive at the casino, bets that were invalidated, odds that were changed, in short these types of cases . but cases such as a multibet bet containing a certain number of games and after the bet is finalized the bet owner sees that they are not the teams he chose or that he has fewer or more teams, this type of case I have never seen

and to be honest, this is the type of case that I highly doubt will happen, in my opinion your friend may have gotten confused, he probably, when choosing the games, must have added a lot of games and was unable to memorize all the games he added in the parlay and put in his head the ones he managed to memorize as being all the teams he placed and when the bet ends he realizes that there are more games than he thought, and he starts to think that it was the casino that placed more games when in fact all the games were placed by him but he forgot. This doesn't just happen to your friend, making a bet and forgetting is a very common thing to happen. see last week I saw real madrid game

It was a game in the European Champions League, Real Madrid played against Leipzig, which is being very inconsistent in the Bundesliga, I chose the game and I was short on time because I needed to leave, so I clicked the mouse without paying attention, my intention was to bet on real Madrid, but I didn't pay attention because at that time I was clicking on Leipzig and when the game ended I was celebrating that Real Madrid won, but when I see my bet, I realize that I lost, I was shocked without understanding, I pay attention and I see that I bet on Leipzig. So these kinds of things happen and it's probably what's happening to your friend

it might be a mistake. Or you should tell your friend to change the betting site he is using. Because most time it could be the site he is using. Because If you changes the formal site he has been using, I think the game will not include another game by its self. Or perhaps the fault might be coming from the system used to book the game. Because there are certain devices that when you click something, they will be forced to click another thing without your knowledge. And if you are not smart enough to identify it, they will put the blame on you. And makes you become the originator of that problem.

Or is it the work of that platform? Let's say the account is secured, the password is safe, and the account is not compromised or can be accessed by anyone. Then the only cause is the platform itself; maybe they didn't intend to do that, more like a big or a glitch in the system. So if you have experienced this kind of stuff, then better report it to your customer service on the platform itself. If they acknowledge the situation or issue, then that's a good thing because they may be acknowledging the fact that their system might have a bug or glitch, but if not, then better be wary because it only means that the customer service didn't care and was irresponsible or that they intended to do those kinds of things to their customers. Well, it's a common thing in that industry, so it's up to you how you will secure your account and assets and how you will choose the best and most secure platform.

This incident do happens in located casinos, I have heard few complains like what OP is talking about, but when this keeps happening over and over, can we keep saying it's same mistakes? Or was it all intentional? I may never know because I gamble by self online, I do the booking.

If you want to avoid this you should consider a online casino instead, I do believe that this can only happen offline, tell your friend to avoid the location and find a better casino, the attendant is either not knowing what he is doing, and should be replaced or he is intentionally ruining people's games.

Apart from this, I don't find offline casinos to be a safe experience, in my own country at least, since we are not in Las Vegas, I choose peace over headaches like this one, that's why online casinos have less issues than casinos that are located somewhere.

I've only heard about these type of situations online but I've never witnessed anything like that in my years of gambling or even seen someone it's happened to, but with the way you say it, it sounds more like a potential scam.
Have you ever considered the fact that maybe it's your friend's betting account that's been compromised and maybe someone else has gained access to the account and is the one placing those bets on the account. Or maybe it could also be caused by technical malfunctions in the site that has given rise to the situation.

Your friend should try changing his password, just incase the account was actually compromised, or he could report the situation to the site's customer service providers to know what's really happening, if it's a default from their end. Or still, he could abandon the account and create another account.

When making your game selection, other games you did not select may pop up and that is why you need to review the slip before you submit for printing, check and go through the games you put in and if there's nothing to correct about it then you're fine and good to go ahead in confirming for submission, i don't think any reputable gambling platform will go to that extent of inserting games you did not play on your bet just to ruin it, the one i often see happen in this regards are with those that make use of the casino house, right in their presence they will manipulate their games and instead of them to cross check before approval, they will work by assumption that their games selection is intact, just to discover that one other game was slotted at their unaware.

This is not the first time I have heard this kind of story from a few people in my country, although in their own cases, it was not the casino's fault; the error was from the casino's attendant who helped the gamblers enter their booked games. 

For example, what happened was that the man booked the games he wanted to play, and after he finished booking the games, he went to a casino shop and told the attendant the games he wanted to stake in, but the attendant mistakenly added the games that the gambler didn't choose. That's the only case in which I have seen such errors. Apart from that, I have been gambling in an online casino for many years now, and I have not experienced this kind of incident. Even at a physical casino, I have not experienced such a situation, but I know that errors are likely to occur at physical casinos because humans are the ones working there, and no one is bound not to make a mistake.

OP, you are not specific if this incident happened at an online casino or a physical casino shop; if the incident actually took place at an online casino, that's a situation I have not heard about or even experienced, or it could even be an error from the gambler.

It never happened to me in many reputable casinos I have played to see in parlay tickets games that I have not chosen to put in there.There must be a coincidence with what happened with your friend because if it is not then it means there is something very wrong with the casinos and betting platforms where your friend is playing.For me it does not mean anything how much you win in a reputable casino.

Hmm, a bit curious about that.
I just wish OP could provide some proof from his friend because they will be difficult to spot if ever they are real. I use two sports bookies and they are most of the time different even when it comes to the odds.
Global sports games are unpredictable so locating those who will fail seems to be impossible. I mean, in 10 games or 10 events has he seen it like 8/10 to happen?
If he knows that those games will fail then why not just bet for the failing ticket? That may amplify the parlay odds if he knew what the results of the game would be. And yet he didn't? If he knew what the results would be then I think it would be more profitable for him. He knows it will fail then I bet he knows what team or player will win.

I have never heard of such a thing happening to anyone and I personally have never experienced such an event. But if you ask me, I would say that sounds like a bug that should not have happened. Either a bug or the person is playing on some unknown, shady, scam casino. In which case, that becomes understandable. You should always watch out when you decide to try out new casinos. Always do your research.

If it is indeed a bug, then the gambler needs to screenshot evidence and send it to customer support so he can get his money back, and perhaps even claim his winnings that he normally should have gotten.

From the reviews in here, I will most likely not have to mention the names of those platform as I don't have proof. Firstly, It is not me but a friend based in but isn't from Dubai.

I'll ask him to take a video of before, during and after, next time he intends to place a bet, let me know if its actually a mistake from his part or from the platform.

For now, I'll want to conclude it as an error until facts are presented.

Thanks for the contribution

I have once noticed this in a local betting site but I felt it was my mistake maybe I wasn't seeing clearly and I mistakingly hit the wrong match but since someone else has such experience its obviously not my fought last time. Although I initially took the predicted matches to a local sport betting shop to stake the game and at the end I had one extra game that messed the whole prediction may it was the person who stake it for me (sales representative) or something.

the best thing to do is to change a betting site that covers his requirements in betting. there are lots of site to use maybe he could find the one that is more reliable.

There are other reputable site you can reference your friend to start gambling with such as BC.Game, stake.com or duelbits although every site has their problems but not by starting to manipulate bettors games where they could start losing after seeing they are making more profits from their gambling site. Then lastly also ask your friend to carefully review his game before staking them finally, otherwise he wouldn't know when his hand may have mistakenly selected those game he claims the gambling site did include in his betslip. So whenever you finished selecting your games and reviewed them again before finally hitting the proceed option it will saved him more time than always thinking is from the gambling site although at this point I can't judge who is at fault because I wasn't there when your friend were staking his games.

I am sure it's one of those local online betting websites, correct me if I am wrong, but honestly why is he still using such platform to place his bets? That's not a reliable online casino, he should stop using the platform already.

And since you yourself is a member of this forum, why not introduce him to few reliable casinos on this forum? It's very easy to avoid cheats from online casinos this days, just abandon them for a better one.

I know a brother who is into sports bets and he use local platform online to place his bets, he have never encounter something like this before, and he have been using few platforms since 2019 and till now this claim of yours is surprising, it shows that the platform is operated by scammers pretending to be truthful with their customers.

Perhaps miss-click or shit casino.

Unless you don't have any prof before and after, the vouch claim really has low trust. During add bet slip and betting, you need to have several act and before placing the bet must make sure the match are correct.

The only positive answer, your friend could be miss click on the other match.

My guess is that your friend is either playing with low reputation platforms repeatedly or is unfamiliar with multi bets and is making simple mistakes when placing them.

I have never encountered any issues like this and the replies shows that is the majority of people. This is not worth it at all for a gambling website which can use other subtle ways to rip you off your money.

- Jay -

I have never heard something like this. Normally physical shop allow to void a bet for free after some minutes hence they allow some time because a bet should be pay (gambler can check their bet slip).
Of course this is a scam, even a stupid scam, since it can be easily highlighted ...

I do not think it is an error but the mistake is from the person's friend. The error has not happened to him before and also I have not seen this before and people on this forum said they have not seen it before. If you stake many matches, you supposed to go through the matches that you staked, making sure that it is correct. His friend has nothing to say and I do not think a reputable gambling site will do something like that which can make customers to leave a betting site for a better one.

You could have made known to us the betting site so some of us will beware of them while going about with our gambling business. Anyway, I have experience such change in my bet slip but that was when I played in an on-land shop and it happened that the fault was from the cashier who by mistake changed a letter in my booking code and that automatically changed my games when the bet slip was printed out to me. I had to reprint it again but with the correct code.

However, if it's online from the betting site and it's a recurrent matter then it's obvious the bet site are just being crooked and unethical, and I think your friend should make use of an entirely new betting site as the one he's using has proven to be scandalous with their service.

I never experienced this one, there's a chance your friends forget how many matches they bets.

If your friends didn't take a screenshot or video to compare with the new ones, no one will believe it because the casino definitely shady for doing that.

It's better to let know people what the casino your friends used, so other people can stay away to gamble on there.

Really? I have no idea this is happening. If I'm the one adding those bets, I'm pretty sure I know them all and added them.
Double-check bets all the time, maybe he misread those matches. It could be that he added too much. 2 or 3 bets I think will somehow ensure his parlay. He may just win more than betting more than 5 in his multibets.

He can always complain if this is the case. Tell your friend to take a screenshot first because I doubt the betting sites will do this. 

It could be an error or glitch in the betting platform system. It's quite concerning because it happened on multiple occasions and different sites, so it's hard to determine if it's a widespread issue or only on those platforms. It's understandable that he is concern with the potential losses due to errors. It would be best to contact the site's support and report the issue so they can resolve it immediately.

Which gambling site is that? Tell you friend not to use it anymore if what he is saying is true. That means the gambling site is having shady service.

At least I have used more than 5 gambling sites for sport betting, none of them has done something like this. I know the matches that I selected for accumulation and I have not seen other match or matches added by the gambling site to the matches that u staked.

On several occasions, a friend has complained that he often sees games he didn't include in his multi-bet slip. And those bets are of games that obviously will fail which then renders his ticket useless.

I ask, has someone else noticed this same thing, as he said he has noticed in two different betting sites. I want to know if its a global practice to expect or a thing with the betting company or that the both betting sites were a coincidence.

Remember, he has series of wins that has been repeated for a long time and he has made serious profit from both platforms without betting with up to 3% of what he has won in total.
