Wagering on the net is still in it's infancy. Technology won't go backwards. I'm of the opinion that books like WSEX have set the standard for the rest of the industry.
If I wager on a total at over -110 for the limit, the ball is now in the bookmakers court. He can move the number, or not. I can play or pass.
If the bookmaker is telling me that if after I make my 1st limit bet, I can go back to the lines screen, and play again at the NEXT number if the line has moved, than I must also assume that if I go back and check the line, and it's still the same, he has chosen NOT to move it. I should then be able to play it again.
If I can't play it again, the software should come back with a message informing me that I can't play it again. The responsibility should be in the hands of the book and their software here, not the player.
If I log back on and the number is still there, it means the book is willing to take more action at that number. If someone else can come along and play that number, why can't I? What difference does it make whether I play the game, or the next guy plays the game?? Action is action.
Furthermore, so long as we're not talking about playing an obvious line error, if the software accepts my wager, and confirms it, shouldn't the wager stand? If not, at what point should I be told my wager will not be honored because I exceeded the limit on the game? Immediately? As soon as possible? The next day?
For the record, this topic does not involve me personally. Someone made me aware of a situation, and I took an interest in it, because I think it's a valid issue, and one that should be addressed.
There's can't be too many of you out there that DON'T have an opinion on this issue..........let's hear em!!!
