As a reputable casino & bookie, we try our best communicate with the Bitcointalk community, but when you say NBA games "always begin with a delay", it doesn't seem consistent with what I (the marketing guy behind this post) know.
Don't try to twist my words please. I wasn't talking about NBA exclusively, was I?. I said US sports, as in all the major sports being played in The States. And then I mentioned the ones I am familiar with. On top of that, I would like to mention NCAA college basketball as well. Sometimes it happens that two NCAA matches are broadcast on the same channel one after the other. If one match starts late (which they do) or lasts longer than expected, so does the other one. If the first match goes into overtime, for example, the second sometimes doesn't tip off before the first one ends. There are various combinations. If you are not aware of US sports beginning with a delay than I am afraid you don't know that much.
I no longer watch NBA these days, but when I did, delays of over 10 minutes were rare.
A 10-mins delay is still a delay, is it not? And that's what I said. US sports begin with a delay and never on time.
My knowledge might not be the most up-to-date and perhaps NBAs do always start with a delay these days. Therefore, could you kindly provide a reliable source of statistics supporting the claim that NBA games "always begin with a delay" and "can be as little as 10 minutes or even up to 30-40 mins"?
You are unbelievable. You just said in your previous sentence that from your experience NBA matches begin later than expected, even if only 10 minutes. You don't need a source. Take a look at tonight's program of US sports, pick a few matches, log in to bet365 (because they stream them live) and see at what time they will start.
You are the one that needs to provide proof that the player is doing late betting. You haven't done it yet. We have established that the bets the player placed on the match you used as an example was done with 8-9 mins left in the 4th quarter.
I am very close to suggesting that OP should create a flag against your casino and tag you as a scammer. I am going to support those tags unless you provide a valid reason why you have confiscated the player's funds with data that can be publicly verified with sources like BetsAPI. Are you going to provide proof or not?
I am tagging LoyceV in this post. Let's see what one of the most trusted members of this forum thinks of "the proof" you have presented thus far. @LoyceV I know there is a lot to read but take as much time as you need, and share your thoughts if you feel you can contribute to the issue.
