Default oddsmaker.com scam

i just turned this $200 promo into $3394 by going 7-0 and have been getting the runaround for the withdrawal i requested for 894 (can only withdraw whats over 2500) (1000 max) has anyone been paid from this promotion. highly irritating to put in the long hours and actually go 7-0 and then get jerked around come payday.

Very nice run sir... Congrats

I'm kinda surprised you only have gotten their stall tactics and not some rules change type excuse they always seem to pull on people, or so it seems that way.

Please feel free to fill out a complaint form and one of us will inquire to them on your behalf.

Dude, just f'in wait until they say how long it will take. Going on here and acting like this is only asking for trouble from Oddsmaker end. They could use common logic to determine you are the one making the bad posts. Just wait until the time they say. The book is crap, but sit still.

If your 100% by the bonus rules, they're probably pay you within 3 to 4 weeks. I'm still trying to figure out where do they get the money to give away free money, they're like the only book that have these insane promo's.

Pal, I got that same promotion. Havent got up to the withdrawl yet but I hope you didnt do any parlays or IF BETS...I dont think Im getting mine because I totally forgot and did an if bet. But anyway if you did it legitly, just wait until they stop bullshiting around and you shouldnt have any problems.

so like i said earlier i went 7-0 and lo and behold i can't believe i just went to walmart and have the loot in my wallet. yeah if you made if-bets or parlays you have no chance of seeing a penny, they have some ridiculous rules for this promo, but if you follow them you will get paid. they told me 5-10 business days and today is the 10th business day. so for all the bad press that his company gets and i have done a tremedous amount of research on them in the last 24 hours (not one lick of good press) i have come to the conclusion that its not oddsmaker.com that is the problem but rather futurebet which is their platform and cashier services. i just assumed that all payouts were handled internally with oddsmaker but in reality they send all the info to futurebet and then it is futurebets responsibility to get the money transferred. not sure here but seeing as i had no correspondence whatsoever from oddsmaker in the last 10 days (it was just me contacting them) i filed a complaint through SBR today and since then i have received 4 emails from everyone from the cashier to the director of operations informing me of my payout and thanking me for my business. so i went from being royally bummed out to being a pretty happy guy today and i told them that i would clear the air here and write a good review for them. i honestly havent seen one good thing written about oddsmaker after going back through the last 6 months worth of posts, so i am here to say at least in my case they did exactly what they said they were going to do and thats all i can ask. they even told me originally that i would be getting paid on the 9th or 10th business day due to an unusally high amount of withdrawal requests, but in the last week i sent 3 emails and didnt get one reply, until i blew the whistle today and then out of nowhere i had the whole company contacting me, so as far as just keeping quiet and keeping my fingers crossed i doubt that if i come across this situation ever again that i will do that- being proactive and reporting them got me immediate results. SBR carries a lot of weight, and i thank all the guys that have tried to help me out. but seeing as i didnt deposit 1 dollar with them i must admit they deserve a better rating than D- or F+ because they paid up precisely when they said they would. now being that there are toomany more reputable books that payout same day i wont ever deposit any big money with them but i do like the layout of their site and the wide array of gaming options so i plan on shooting them a hundred just to mess around and then when and if i can withdraw anything substantial i will report here agian on how they handle that situation - who knows maybe they are trying to change their ways and i will surely be an advocate of oddsmaker if i can see consistent payouts and better cust svc. and for the record i am putting my big fat mouth on the line here having gone 24-4 on college plays in march i am moving in large with memphis on the ML +250 to seal the deal. this team reminds me too much of those boys from unlv back in the day. they just play in 6th gear for 40 minutes and are faster end to end than any team since unlv. they made a blazing fast texas team look like they were in quicksand. UCLA has only 2 legit scorers - shipp and westbrook are to questionable lately offensively and UNC is a step slower than kansas end to end i think memphis will have a tougher time against KU if if if KU gets past UNC. either way memphis is just too fast for any of these 3. best of luck all. i'll be posting more about the developments with oddsmaker in days to come.

my sbr username is te same for oddsmaker so all things being equal i wanted them to know that i was posting here, because i promised them i would post the good news and retract my statements that they were a scam if they made good. within 8 hours i had my moneygram. so maybe that was all coincidence, but then agian...... maybe not.
