Paying Out Season Win Props (?)

KUJustin · #1 10-09-2007, 07:08 PM

I bet a decent sum of money on Kansas to go over 6 wins on 5dimes. It looks like KU will all but certainly get to 6 this Saturday. Will 5Dimes pay me my initial bet immediately for the guaranteed push?

If not, do I at least get the full payment once they hit 7? I'd rather not wait until December to get paid on this.

probably waiting until december

Ugh, thought I was in the betting forum. Can I get a lift from a mod?

Also, ugh to December.

Yeah they'll make you wait. :/

Based on the rationale for the FrankTV thread, I'm sure there's a sufficient number of degenerates in here to allow for this thread to stay.

FWIW, I had an NBA future on the Warriors last year, and had to wait until the end of the season to collect. (This was on Pinnacle, and they'd already stopped operations in the US but honored the wager and sent me a check.)

check the site's rules on futures.

Carib pays the bet out as soon as it's a mathematical certainty to win.

Then Carib is not smart.

There's a reason why all the other books stipulate "Must play X games for action". It's the same reason why they similarly stipulate that a baseball game must go 8½ or 9 innings for action on the over/under bets.

Back in the 90's, players would demand an explanation for making them wait. I suggested that a catastrophe such as a plane crash, a terrorist attack, a players' strike, or the forfeiture of games due to the participation of academically ineligible players, could shorten a team's season, or even change their win total.

They scoffed at such an unrealistic notion back then. They don't any more.

If you bet on a team to win the division, and they do, you still have to wait til the end of the entire regular season.

Almost no one pays you out early.

If you were betting with me and it was a mathematical certainty that you'd win, I"d pay you early....just something to consider next time.
