i hate arbers as well. Bookmakers wouldn't be so strict if arbers didn't exists.
YET, posts claiming that Adkins acted in good faith confiscating guy's balance, are nonsense.
Most of you have no idea what are the industry standards, doubt you ever gambled as well.
If adkins believe that a user was an arbitrage bettor, industry standards say that they have 2 options:
1) Void bets before kick off (unfair imo but accepted in some way)
OR
2) Limit player after the event and protect their asses and pay him in full
According to your logic, every book can void all winners claiming ''arbitrage''.
Adkins should pay poor guy in full and use his example to correct their lines faster, nothing more nothing less.
Unless we speak about wrong displayed odds, the guy should be paid in full.
You should never expect that treatment from bet365 or any other fair bookie, why would you accept it from Adkinsbet
I am in betting for 4+ years, seen too many scammers both players and bookies but this comment is the best I have ever read
well said spyrosc200
bettor just accepted odd which bookie provided
nothing more, nothing less
act as a gentlemen
They do not update the lines, these lines will probably come from companies who provide data. I agree that they should update the lines faster, but what if they can not?
For sure they are not the only bookmaker who suffer with this problem.
If players would play honest and straight, we did not had this problem. They probably pay accidently arbitrage bets but not people who are only arbitraging.
You can expect you will burn your fingers if you do not play straight.
If adkins can't follow market odds it is their problem and they should fix it, it is not punters problem
You can't offer 2.00 odds for Arsenal to win when whole planet has odds 1.80 and if bettor wins then you simple call it arbitrage and void bet, but if bet loss then you consider it as lost bet.
Betting companies can spot arbers after 2-3 bets. They deservedly kick them, they offered them reduced odds etc, but they PAY THEM.
Adkings should pay poor guy and boot him.
End of story.
