I had Balty as the sole loser in a 3 team parlay at 5Dimes that I counted a loss, then after this post I checked & realized they cancelled the whole parlay. I called then up to complain, stating that if the game was a no bet, then it should be graded as a 2 team win! They ended up doing so, thankfully I caught it....
Fishysmell- That's screwed up, but as FF said that's the drawback to using a local. I've had some really bad experiences with locals myself, though a couple buddies of mine swear by their local. If you have an online account but aren't close to a computer, than call the damn sportsbook instead of your local. If it were ne I wouldn't give him any more business...

1) probably should post this in GD
2) games are official in vegas once they go 55 minutes in duration for football
3) there are no rules with a local. no offense but some of you guys act like "locals" are some regulated industry with rules etc.....they're not....dude can make up whatever he wants and enforce it. that is the risk you take with betting with a local guy. it's not like you can dial up the local gambling union 244 and complain about him. there are pluses and minuses to betting with both off shores and locals and you just found one of the disadvantages to using a local.
i feel for you, and you are being swindled, but if the guy says you owe him you owe him, IMO. GL with whatever you decide..........Leave a comment:

Help settling dispute with my bookie...Opinions needed
Hey guys, I've been a long time reader ever since the move from the old site. I don't post very often because I don't want to feel like people should be influenced about what another person thinks of the game, but I feel as if I know all of you pretty well from just reading what you guys write. I had a problem this past weekend with my bookie, now I'm sure most of you were aware of the Baltimore - Washington game this past weekend that got called/canceled after only 33:22, hardly close to 60 minutes. They decided it was best to call/cancel the game in best interest of the players to prevent injury aside from the lightening risk overhead. Now, all the sportsbooks that I wager with online; Bodog, BetUs, Sportsbook, ect. state that a wager on a NFL game will only receive action if it goes a full 60 minutes or longer due to OT. The bookie I bet with, side action for fun because I wasn't close to a computer, called me today and said he wants his $110 by friday, I said what do I owe you that from? he stated that the game was marked a Final so it's like baseball after 5 innings its a solid score. IMO this is ludacris because NFL can not even be compared remotely to MLB due to the fact that how many NFL games have actually been called in the middle of them, weather effects NFL the least out of any of the sports. Just want to get some opinion if I'm right or wrong because I do have a problem handing over money this way, when I genuinely lose then I can accept that, not when I feel like I'm being swindled. Thanks guys!
