Pinnacle voided bets

Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:06 pm

Hi,

today (9.3.2017) I received email notification that my bet from 5.3.2017 was voided, after four days after the match. This is very strange from profi bookmaker to cancel bet after the match.

Dear Customer,

[Volleyball] [Serbia - 1.Savezna Liga Men] [Match] Spartak Ljig vs Radnicki . Your bet with ticket-ID: xxx has been refunded. All bets taken have been refunded due to the following reason: [Abnormal and suspicious betting activity has been detected for this event. All wagers from all customers have been cancelled. This action is taken very rarely and is for the protection of all our customers.] . Thank you!


In the past (24.2.2017) I received same voiding, however it happend before the match:

[Basketball] [ABA - Adriatic League] [Game] Cedevita Zagreb vs Karpos. Your bet with ticket-ID: xxx has been refunded. All bets taken have been refunded due to the following reason: [Abnormal and suspicious betting activity has been detected for this event. All wagers from all customers have been cancelled. This action is taken very rarely and is for the protection of all our customers.] . Thank you!

What do you think about such behaviour as it seems not to be "very rarely" situation nowadays?

How can I make  diference in the future between suspicious and not suspicious matches?
For every bet that I will place at Pinnacle...I am going to be scared!

I have sent them this email regarding this.  If more people would do this, it may get some attention...it can't hurt.

"Dear,

I am coming across more and more reports of bets being voided, sometimes even days after the match was played, because of so called 'suspicious betting activity'. 

I would like to express my deepest concerns regarding this behaviour.  Pinnacle has always been a pilar of stability and I've always felt safe the second I had placed a bet and it was confirmed.  Lately hoewever, I feel scared every time I place a bet and hope it will not be voided. 

As an arber, this puts my business in serious jeopardy.  I have been a long time losing client at Pinnacle and the bets I place are a source of long term revenue for your company.

I would like you to seriously reconsider voiding any bets in the future, even it it means taking a financial loss as long term this type of behaviour can only hurt your business even more than any short term gains the voiding of bets may produce. 

I would also like to ask if there is any way for us clients to detect games of "suspicious betting" so we can avoid betting on them in the first place.

Thank you for reading and kind regards,"

Will have the same net result whether arbing or value betting.  A voided winning bet is a voided winning bet.

Money has the ability to corrupt most things everything.  There have been many dodgy matches involving team sports over the eons.

Good email Alfa. I have sent similar in the past and will do again when I get any bet voided again. I also agree that we should all do the same. I understand that Pinnacle needs to protect themselves against match fixing, but it is also pretty obvious that they can distinguish arbers from match fixers from our betting patterns, and should only punish the latter.

It takes only a few players of 1 team to fix a game although usually the whole team is in on it.  By giving just a little less than your 100%, you will lose what is supposed to be a tight game and it won't even look suspicious.


I never got a reply to that mail, by the way.
