TODAY'S QUESTION....

[Jeff]

I would support the book in that scenario I think.

I don't ever recall anyone ever coming forward and saying someone used their account unauthorized.

There are so many partners and teams and small groups out there. I don't think it's a good idea to try to eliminate that. It would defeat the purpose of the books, which is to take action.

Do you think NASA was right in not paying the Billy Walters beard?

JEFF,

I AM ON RECORD IN EVERY FORUM INCLUDING THIS ONE DECRYING THE FACT THAT A CUSTOMER,ANY CUSTOMER IS NOT PAID.

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE PLAYER IS A PUBLIC PLAYER,A SHARP PLAYER,A MOVER,A BEARD OR THE ORIGINATOR HIMSELF,IF YOU ACCEPT THE WAGER AND IT IS A LEGITIMATE BET,LEGITIMATE HERE BEING BEFORE POST,AND NOT A CASE WHERE A 10 POINT FAV.IS INCORRECTLY POSTED AS A DOG, THE BOOK IS BOUND TO HONOR AND PAY THE BET.

LATER ON IF MANAGEMENT DECIDES THAT A PARTICULAR PLAYER DOES NOT FIT INTO THEIR WORK THEY CAN CLOSE HIS ACCOUNT BUT MUST PAY HIM IN FULL WITHOUT DELAY.

THE EXAMPLE IN TODAYS QUESTION WAS ABOUT NOTHING SIMILAR TO BW'S CASE.

REALITY

No one has mentioned whether this book has a rule explicitly stated on their website, which allows only one account per person. If it does not, then the player has to be paid all four wagers even though it appears to be an attempt to get around the limit rule. In this case he wouldn't have broken any rules.

[REALITY]

SPORTSHOBBY,

ALL THREE BOOKS INVOLVED HAVE THE ONE PLAYER TO AN ACCOUNT RULE STATED IN THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PORTION OF THEIR WEB PAGE.

THE PLAYERS IN QUESTION HERE ALL OPENED MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS TO CIRCUMVENT THE POSTED LIMT,THIS FACT ALONE SAYS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID REGARDING THEIR INTENTION.

THE FACT THAT NOT ONE OF THEM BEEFED ABOUT NOT BEING PAID SAYS THE REST...

REALITY

[sportshobby]

I agree that their intention was to circumvent the limit. But I believe that the existence of the one account per person rule, explicitly stated, is what is important. Otherwise, the bets would have to be paid.
