Betduck warning

what market was it mate and what was the overround??

MLB division betting. the prices were all over the place, and still are. I noticed that every 10 minutes a new batch of bets were put up, so i spent all day taking them. I never realised taking generous prices on a betting exchange could be considered fraud. fkn ridiculous!

guess it was east!

the one with boston, though there were a few other crazy prices too.

im really annoyed. ive offered to let them void the bets, even though ive got greens of thousands, refund my money and close my account. cos im just so annoyed with them. i just want nothing to do with them ever again. but they wont even do that, just say i have to wait til the investigation is complete. total joke. what investigation?? either a customers (or more likely, their own) bot has gone crazy and i took advgantage. theres nothing to investigate! they obviously dont like it, well fine rip me off but give me my flipping stakes and other funds back!

boston kept being layed at over 2.0, so i just kept backing it. then when the price dropped to nothing money reappeared for all the other teams. so i kept backing every other team in the division then. was about a 90% book i think. how the hell is it my fault if a bot goes crazy? jesus.

You got a screenshot of the market ?

thing is it wasnt ever overbroke as such. it kept putting each team up at different prices til it was cleared out. like sometimes boston were a great price, then other times yankees were a great price. its obviously been set up to react to bets, but done wrong mathematically.

if it was a customer, and not their own bot, why would they care though?

Was it instant or were there noticeable delays between each bet flashing up after you'd matched it?

the prices went up like clockwork every 10 minutes. but were different prices every time. and seemed to react to what bets had been placed. there was some system there, obviously i dont know exactly.

£212k matched in that market!

im just so disgusted with them. ive given them loads in commission over time and they treat my like this. they never even spoke to me and still refuse to talk about it. just account locked, funds locked, and a very threatening sounding email.



We are currently in the process of completing a full investigation into bets placed on your account. There are orders matched that are significantly outside the market average and we believe fraudulent activity may have taken and as such are investigating all accounts with a position in this market.



Our Risk and Compliance team intend to have the investigation completed next week and your account will remain suspended until all aspects of the investigation have been completed.

i have bets on all MLB division markets on there and here. mostly reds. how is that relevant?

errr.. I heard a story once that on a specific market for a period of time.. the apparent bd/ bf cross matching whatever had got the sums wrong.


sounds v similar. and the bd response.

To be honest that email sounds quite reasonable to me.

They haven't said they won't allow you to keep your profit or that you are suspended full stop just that they want to figure out what happened before they release the funds. Sounds fair enough to me.

'something' on bd mirroring the bf markets . A bet on bf caused an incorrect offer on bd.

The same conclusion.. why would they be bothered unless it was them ... same type response .. fraud blockage ..etc.


p.s. I wouldnt know a bot from a butt

"why would they be bothered unless it was them .."

I dont know the figures but maybe if sums matched were unusually high they might suspect game fixing or sth?

thing is, what are they suggesting you might have done? what's the scenario where you "fraudulently" place bets on an exchange?

unless they're suggesting you've somehow hacked into their/someone else's system and caused the offers to be put there, how can matching visible offers on an exchange possibly be fraudulent?

yeah thats the point in my mind viva. it feels like theyre trying to scare me into letting them keep all my money. fraudulent is just absurd.

the fact they wont even speak to me about it is pretty alarming. if they want to know what happened then ask me, its not like its a secret. if what i did was wrong then hands up i was wrong, but i didnt think it was because it happens all the time. people put up crazy prices they get taken. thats just how exchanges work.

as for swapping money, if its their own bot then they know that cant have happened. and if it isnt their bot, then how come the same style of bets are still there now whilst my account is locked. its a sparse market, im pretty sure theres only one person/bot been laying in it all season. yet theres still loads of money there now.

sorry im on my netbook, dont have screenshots on here. but if you look at the history you can see the prices and see what the prices were.
