    Default This does not get an F?

    SBR Bill Dozer reports: Globet (SBR rating D+) choosing to confirm or cancel wagers on morning games that have already begun or concluded. The sportsbook requires that all wagers be manually confirmed by its staff before becoming official. Players who have wagered on morning events during the previous evening found that wagers may be validated only after the result is known. This process is responsible for a steady flow of negative feedback from Globet clients. Globet advises players who feel this process is unfair not to wager after business hours when wagering is out of the office. Globet has been downgraded from C- to D+ due to variety of wagering complaints.

    I predict Globet will either change their ways or their SBR rating will continue to slide.

    Many times we can convince the book that the best course of action is to change their procedures. Its a good business move by the book if they can agree to make changes and it saves off a rating that could cause a loss of customers. I think that's where we are now.

    I sure hope so. I think this is far worse than slow pays. If I placed a bet and they canceled it, I would be irate.

    But then again, Globet has pulled this type of thing multiple times on other issues so why anyone would wager there, I have no idea...

    I agree!
    Bet cancellation is even worse than slowpay.
    But the problem is that a lot of even top rated bookmakers will cancel their bets claiming that they were out of the line. Sometimes I feel that they put it deliberately out of the line (like their linesman thinks he's smarter than the market), wait for the outcome of the game and cancel if their unbalanced line looses. "Sorry we made a mistake, these odds were obviously out of the line" - this works always. Some bookmakers (like C rated Nordicbet) states in their rules, that they have rights to cancel what they want when they want it and you can't do anything about that.
    Easy profit isn't it, cancel all markets that bring net losses.
