looked it up, apparently player bets only register if the player plays a snap, not just taht they're active

lame, I made the bet with the assumption that Bell wouldn't get any playing time

Have you been able to use these numbers or do you stat away from the first period bets?

It's not a typical bet of mine unless I see you post these...they have been quite helpful. Just eyeballing it, it looks I'm hitting with my 1st period bets at an over 80% clip...maybe 83-85% somewhere in there...

That’s really frickin good. I’ve been around 55-60% and I’ve bet much more unders than overs. It’s difficult to root for unders.

Hit a random 7 leg parlay that I cobbled together late, scored about $800 on $30...

In NY, it's very difficult to gamble...

However, while travelling for hockey in another state, I took a $10 free bet or whatever they gave me to get my attention and threw it on a silly parlay...

Cle -2.5
Dal ml
Buf -16.5
KC ml
Ind ml
GB -6.5
Bal -1
Sea +2.5

$890 smack-a-roos for doing nothing...

In exchange, I was handed a 1.5 point loss in fantasy without my best player (CMac) [also, Mike Williams over Deebo Samuel was a self-inflicted wound I suppose]...

All right, I'm in for that.

o/u 1600.5, I got the under.

The following events void the bet:
NHL lockout
NHLPA strike
If any two seasons for the remainder of Crosby's healthy career are reduced in games by 25% or more (<=61 games)
Any other materially damaging event (i.e. nuclear war with Russia)

The following events do not void the bet:
Crosby injury
The Penguins being garbage, drafting garbage players, signing garbage players
Any other hockey-specific events
We have a bet with financial considerations and a board-related consideration agreed upon. mikey wins if Crosby finishes his career with 1600 or fewer career regular season NHL points...

BetRivers is improving but still a bit lame.

The good, you can install it and the updates from the Google Play store now. GP must've loosened their policy on wagering apps.

The bad, I haven't used the app in over a year, maybe more. So when I went to put a not insignificant amount in there it wouldn't let me deposit that much. I had to visit the cage at the actual casino today, which was not cool since the Pitt/WV hooligans were already out gumming up the traffic system.
I guess I have to build up to those deposits 'gradually' but ain't nobody got time for that.

Round 2.

Finally get all the funds situated. Place the wager. They say it requires manual approval. Five minutes later they refunded two-thirds of my wager and placed the bet with 1/3rd of the funds. I tried to place a second wager and they say the payout is too high and I can't place that bet.

What a bunch of **** clowns.

I still don't have my money back. The backend sports book that Rivers uses said they canceled my bet and refunded the money on 9/2. Rivers is saying my bet is still Open. And the funds that were not wagered are in my account but not available for withdrawal. I was given a $5 'bonus' for some dumb thing as they do and I added that to my original wager, so now I can't withdraw anything because I have bonus funds in play on a wager that is canceled (but Open).

Meanwhile, I walked into the Live! casino in Greensburg today and made the same wager no problem. Rivers sucks.

Put out some wild parlays today...less than $100 out, potential for $125,000 back. No contradictions among them. Let's roll!

I know the internet is only for complaining, but I thought I'd share a good experience with a major sportsbook (MGM/Caesar's).

App was acting wonky on Sunday morning. I placed a few bets, but I was fighting it a bit. I can't tell what's going on, I'm getting weird error messages, so I just close it out and move on...at around 3 pm ET, I check and see what went through and I noticed that a lot of my bets (mostly parlays and round robins) were duplicated and triplicated. Even in invalid ways (like, I doubled up on a one-time use booster). So before anything settles at 4, I said, "hey, look this all duplicated...please help." So the live chat says, "I see, we gotta forward this up the ladder. You'll hear back at some point in the next 24 hours...but don't worry, we see what's going on, even if the bets settle first, we'll make it right."

So, I get a call from this dude a couple hours later and we sit and talked it out. And, long story short, he goes, "ya know, with the 49ers up 30-12 right now...this parlay is actually looking like a winner. I don't want to be a mush, but let's just look the other way on it." And I said, "thanks, but fair is fair...win or lose, this isn't what I intended." And he goes, "Eh, our app had a problem. You're a good sport about it. So, if Carolina ends up pulling off a miracle, give me a call back at this number and we'll talk about it...otherwise, let's just leave that be. I refunded all the duplicates and you're all set."

Pretty good customer experience...
