Why I hate Intertops
I want to share my story about Intertops.
They were my first book as well. This was years ago, of course. But I'll never forget how they screwed me out of a $5,000 win!!
I was drunk, looking for shit to bet on. I put $64 on Alastair Forsythe to win some golf tournament (Dubai Classic or Open or whatever it's name is...I just remember it was in the god-awful desert heat), an 80-1 shot. I put $64 on him and like $20+ on each of the other 4 or 5 that were longshots.
Well sure as shit, Alastair won the tournament. So I should have had a little over 5k in my account. I checked my account the next day, and there it was, all of it was there.
I come home from work later and log back in and my account was disabled with a message to call support. I called those fuckers and they told me that 80-1 was a mistake, it should have been 4-1. And if they make a mistake, they have the right to correct it at any time. And I'm like 'are you kidding me? Alastair Forsythe is an unknown, never won anything, and you are telling me you made a mistake posting hiim as 80-1 instead of 4-1?' That's the story they stuck to...those fuckers.
So I took my 250 buck win and cashed out - took them a week to cash me out too! I've never been back, and wouldn't send my worst enemy to them.
As they are in Antigua, and I don't have a lawyer, and well, you get the drift...I didn't have any options....anyway, that's my bad beat story.
