I won't be sending them anything—given I played the 2... so really, it's their mistake for letting me win. 😁 However, I did send the documentation to Bwin; is it actually possible for them to stick to a result that isn't even accurate? http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2742/60138110.jpg
Still waiting on that winning parlay, and predictably—nothing. I went over 4.5 goals, but they’re insisting on a 3-1 scoreline. It’s absurd how they spend 90 minutes live generating all this nonsense—corner after corner—only for the result to be completely wrong. I've sent them an email, though I expect a response sometime in about two months. I should also mention that I have a winning ticket sitting at DraftKings from Saturday where they botched the final score. Lehigh Valley was playing away and DraftKings recorded a 0-1 loss, when in reality it ended 1-1—they scored in the 90th minute—but DraftKings still logged it as 0-1.
Sochaux is fighting for their lives in the relegation zone—a desperate struggle—while Lorient is coasting toward the top of the table after a solid run. With the cup semifinals coming up this Wednesday, Lorient will likely rotate their squad today to save some energy for the bigger stage. Sochaux actually has enough grit to stay up; they just bounced back from a 3-0 thrashing against Lille to grab a 3-3 draw last week. Why shouldn't they pull off a vital home win against a Lorient side that might be playing with half an engine?
You're right—there are three Degens in total, two of them and myself, which is how I got mixed up. 😁 I wasn't even paying close attention; I just confidently placed my bet on whoever was playing for Liverpool.
An interesting observation—I haven't run into this before, so perhaps it might help someone else. Basically, I placed a bet on Unibet that a Degen (a player for Basel) would receive a yellow card during the match. I was tracking it, saw he subbed in at the 63rd minute, and he finished the game without seeing a card. Well, I had to kiss my winnings goodbye; when I checked Unibet, they refunded my stake, noting he wasn't a starter. As far as I know, here in the States, if you play for even three seconds, it counts as an appearance.
The odds on Aris were sitting at 1.55—mostly because they desperately needed a win in this final round to stay up—but the landscape shifted once AEK got relegated from the top flight. Now that Aris is effectively safe, seeing these away odds feels completely disconnected from reality. Xanthi is the superior side here, especially playing at home; the standings tell the story quite clearly.
Sparta R.—finally snapping a four-game drought last week against Dordrecht—is looking to keep that momentum alive. After a string of poor results, they brought in Ten Cate—who previously served under Rijkaard at Barcelona before his stint with Panathinaikos—and the pressure is on to win today if they want to stay in the hunt for direct promotion. They’re currently sitting just two points behind Volendam. Sparta tends to be quite clinical when playing on their home turf, whereas the visitors are struggling with two key absences in the lineup. Following that recent win, I suspect Sparta has found its footing again and will secure a decisive home victory today.
Regarding the matchup between Atlanta United and D.C. United—honestly, skipping this one feels like the smartest move today. Atlanta played a grueling match just three days ago, and they have another heavy hitter on the schedule in a few days. Their bench depth is thin at best—and given that their star striker is once again a question mark regarding fitness, they're playing shorthanded. On the flip side, D.C. United feels far from a powerhouse; they have a few notable names, sure, but having watched them a few times, the overall quality feels rather inconsistent. If I were forced to pick a side, I’d lean toward Atlanta United at 2.00 odds . As for today, I think over 10.5 corners in the Newcastle vs. Benfica match at 1.70 is a solid addition to a parlay. Newcastle is finding some stability in the Premier League following last week's win. They’ll likely field their strongest lineup, which suggests an open, high-tempo game. Since Benfica isn't afraid to press and both sides rely heavily on wing play, I expect plenty of corner opportunities.
I simply have to take this one—the odds are too good to pass up, and I find it highly probable. While he isn't typically an aggressive center-back, the relentless pressure from the Lakers will likely force him into several fouls. He'll be under constant duress—which, in my estimation, makes a yellow card almost inevitable.
Silkeborg is a bit of a wild card—they can lose 0-5 at home to Sonderyska one week and then shut out Copenhagen 1-0 the next. They’re fighting to stay afloat, while the home side, Aalborg, is eyeing a spot in Europe. Even though Aalborg has been struggling lately—they haven't managed a win in five matches—most of those were tough road games, which explains the slump. Objectively speaking, they are the superior side, and I suspect it’s time they snapped this losing streak. Somewhere out there, the odds have already dropped to 1.65.
The home side has had a rough start to the season—they haven't managed a single win yet—and they’ve been stuck playing away games for three straight matches. Finally, they're back on home turf. Salt Lake City, however, is facing a bit of a crisis today due to being without five of their regular starters; three are sidelined with injuries while two are serving suspensions, including their top player and leading scorer, Ronnie Shwartz. Denver desperately needs this win to get their season back on track—which won't be easy—but considering all those absences in Salt Lake City, I’m thinking Denver might just pull off the win today!
I managed to pull it off—using DraftKings, actually. I used my own account to deposit, but had the winnings sent to someone else's... mostly because mine was frozen at the time due to some nonsense with the IRS and other bureaucratic headaches.
I used to play poker and bet there back in the day—payouts through PayPal usually hit within 10 hours. But ever since they merged with the Democratic Party, the whole experience has gone downhill fast. Avoid them at all costs!
Bwin has been nothing but trouble lately... I sat around waiting for a payout through PayPal from January 26th until February 20th—all for a measly amount.
Has anyone else run into issues with withdrawals from Bwin over the last month? It’s been nearly 30 days since I requested my payout via PayPal—something that used to be unheard of. I've sent a mountain of emails, but the response is always the same canned line: "it's being processed."
I’m convinced you aren't seeing those funds. A few years back, I found myself in a similar bind—playing some obscure site called Sega Poker, or something to that effect. I was shuffling funds between accounts using verified info, essentially playing an all-in game against myself at the table. Then they froze my account for good—permanent ban, and just like that, my money vanished.😁
Is anyone else running into issues with BetMGM payouts? It was fine before—but ever since they merged with PokerStars, it’s been a total disaster. I’ve been waiting on a withdrawal to my Venmo since January 26th. Anyone else dealing with this lately?
What a disaster. BetMGM used to be reliable with payouts, but ever since they merged with the Democrats—it's been a nightmare! I've been sitting here for 16 days waiting on a transfer, and it isn't even a massive amount. If you can manage it, just steer clear of them.
Ever since BWIN merged with Party, their payout process has been an absolute disaster. It used to be that if I used Skrill, the funds were in my account within 10 hours—now, I’m sitting here on day five of the work week waiting for nothing. Definitely steer clear of them.
