[AusRace] "We'll Bet You"

[L.B.Loveday]

Looks like the new kid on the Dynamic Odds block is issuing a challenge to
them -

 

I opened an account for $1,000 with SportsBetting a few days ago, have had 4
$100 or less bets, and today asked for $100 @ 3.50 place Inv 7/11. Accepted
$36.72. Pathetic enough, but immediately turned down to 2.70 (Win price
untouched, so it's not like they had a flood of bets, most likely just my
bet to lose $91.80).

 

I think you should write "bookmaker", to distinguish these feeble critters
from on-course bookmakers, the weakest of whom has x times the guts and y
times the ability that they do.

CentreBet and ClassicBet are the worst Len.

You'd think they'd want to even their books a little because most of the
action takes place on the favourite or firmers in the market.

But that's never the case, their little servers and databases refer your bet
to a bookmaker who rejects simply on liability, probably because you're a
winning punter, but not necessarily so.

Yes, sure you will CentreBet.

I asked for $100 Randwick 1/5 @ 126.00, knocked back to $16, which is their
right.

CentreBet treated me with well-deserved distain and lengthened it to 151.00,
obviously wanting to hold more money than my $16, so I asked for $100 at
151.00. Rejected in full, which is again their right, but why drift it if
they won't take even 50c at that price? 

"Pathetic" does not do them justice.
