*Its been a few months.. and it's about that time that I make a shit post where I bitch about everything*
​
To all my fellow US players getting fucked in the ass per usual... WHAT THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO DO TO USE A HONEST POKER SITE!?
​
It's 2021 and it has been almost a decade since I have been able to use a worthy-poker-site such as Full Tilt, Stars, 888, Party Poker, and so on. I am starting to fall out of love with poker because I can't keep playing on these bullshit sites located in Panama and throughout the Caribbean. Here are a couple of my experiences from the past 8-ish months or so.
​
ACWPN/BCP:
- 2 to 4 months ago I received 2 PARTIAL refunds due to bots being at my table, in which one scenario was a final table. Didn't even get a full fucking refund. This also doesn't mention the other partial refunds I received earlier in 2020.
- As you all well know, ACR has had multiple scandals going back to 2012, like the the 2018-2019 PLO/NL cash game bots and several people colluding together to take advantage of the late reg glitch. Nagy can eat a fat dick.
- If you play at America's Cardroom in 2021 you're a fucking retard. (No offence)
​
Betonline/BOL:
- 6 months ago Betonline removed $1000 from my poker balance on my account and said that the money was transferred to my sportsbook balance at 4am PST and all of it was spent in the online casino. When I asked them to investigate they did nothing. So I asked their Fraud/IT Department to send me a list of all devices, MAC addresses, and IP addresses that signed into my account that day... They refused to cooperate... Customer service said it was against company policy to release that type of information, even though its MY OWN fucking account and personal information. ( I took a break from the site but eventually returned because US players have no options and I love MTTs.)
- 2 months ago I deposited $50 of ETH to their sports book to bet on an NFL game. Blockchain.com confirmed that BOL's Etheruem address received my money, and I even sent customer service proof of the transaction THREE TIMES. They still refuse to issue me my $50 deposit to this day, stating "our system says the deposit is still pending".
- 2 days ago I received a $5 refund from a Windfall Sit n Go because the 2 other two players at my table were bots :) :) :) I should just kill myself at this point. WHO THE FUCK HAS BOTS AT THE JACK POT SIT N GO.
​
Bovada/Ignition:
- Honestly, I haven't used them in like a year or two because they removed the chat box, make it a pain to utilize HUD software, and that fucking update they did to their software. That huge software update was so fucking horrible the sites damn near unplayable. I'm sure you guys remember the old canvas/layout that Bovada/Iggy use to utilize, it was way better.
​
Anyways, I just don't know what to do anymore. I NEVER had any of these issues back in the Full Tilt days. I don't even want to play half the time because I'm sick of all the bullshit. I am also in Los Angeles, CA so the lockdown bullshit makes live poker a huge pain in the ass. Some casinos are open, some are closed, some are outside, some make you wear mask and sit in between plastic dividers, some allow you to order drinks but not food. It's all fucking stupid. I really want to use my VPN but I don't want to build up a bankroll on a legit site like PartyPoker and then have my funds frozen. Maybe I should just hang myself instead. (joking, just being a dramatic pussy)
​
On a serious note, thank you for listening to me bitch and moan about my first world problems. I hope ya'll are happy, healthy and staying covid-free. Cheers to 2021, MAY THE POKER GODS BE IN YOUR FAVOR!

📰📜Story📜📰:
I've been scatter-brained, ire-filled, soul-searching and lost after a 7-day Degen Marathon that brought a shit load of misfortunes. I used to hate social media, but I've learned how to wield the soc. med. sword like a fucking Degen Jedi. I'm going to promote an honest cause where I seek to be victorious in the end. Just you watch you fucking doubters, haters, blockers, scammers. How much grit and intellect would the average fucking person have to endure what I've gone through in the last fucking 48 hours and still come out alive with a sense of greater purpose?
Had about $400 to $500 in righteously earned bonus dollars earned through impossible grinding degen mission that came pretty close to accomplishing (91%).
I would have had some imaginary >$600 BR by now, but instead the roll-over deadline caused the entire deposit to be forfeited and I manage to salvage some $100.
Due to a bonus rollover scheme, 80U of my balance was stuck in bonuses and if I fail to accomplish the roll-over by the deadline, it all gets forfeited.
With a $500-$600 balance, I could have somewhere at $900-1000 by now after a 20-2 W-L record on European football on Wednesday.
How did I get that record yesterday, by sampling a bunch of solid pre-game picks and live betting using my own fucking brain. I consult with the finest in capping. With $10-$20 bet sizes, That would have put me up maybe $15x16 = +$240 at minimum. $1000 was the imaginary bank roll. As of today, betting with $1 units, after Monday-Wednesday's successful run, while Tuesday was a -$50 blip, I converted $100 to about close to $200 (40U).
🤪🤑Psycho Betting🤑🤪:
I learned the art of psycho betting. Taking some well-advised 10U and 30U psycho bets that put my bankroll up a significant amounts, but a big loss does the opposite. Yesterday I manage to hit 4 grand 30U slams in a row, however many on juiced lines, so each $30 bet one returns about $15-20. Thus my bankroll grew nearly +100 units and sits close to $200 from the initial $100 I manage to salvage after that bonus robbery.
If you want to fucking learn the art of Psycho-Betting to the extremest and be successful at it, fucking put in $100 in Bovada (remember to use money that you can afford to lose) and get that fucking bonus for the purpose of looting the bookies in a successful vengeance scheme. This guy is a fucking Artillery: https://twitter.com/GoTimeCappers.
Fucking hit more than 4x30U grand slams yesterday and some 10-20U cherries on top. I tailed his free picks and other through consultation [Haha fucking reddit/sportsbook will probably ban me for promoting another tout, :)].Of course with my $1.5U size on a crippled bank roll, I cannot grow it to as much as I wanted to using GoTime's techniques. I would have been at another +$400 if I had $6 units. It's a high risk and high reward system, but if you are confident with your picks you go big on it. If you lose it, then you grind back with smaller 10U and 20U bets to try to get back to part to be able to do another 30U bet. The goal is to be like 2-1, 3-0 on 30U grand slams a day. There is some level of sustainability and back up plans to execute in case the 30U bet did not work out. It is very improbable for you to lose 10 in a row on well researched picks that the experts in the community have common agreement on. A lot of the times, the lines shift to reward you less for the pick since big money is already on the pick.

!!!!!DISCLAIMER: DO NOT READ BEYOND HERE IF YOU HATE MATH OR HAVE AN IQ OF < 89!!!!!
Use the chart on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification
Here is a Nice Calculation to do:
📚📑💻Stats 301 Question in Degenalytics💻📑📚**:**
Lastly I asked anyone in the past few days to do a Stats 301 question with Degenalytics Context: To fucking determine the probability that an avg Joe with a $100+100 Bonus Bank-roll or $500 + 250B bank roll can actually pull off the $3000/$7500 grind in some number of N months betting with supposedly 2 full months of real sports (N-2) getting Obliterated by COVID-19. I want you to give me an analytical calculation or a simulation of your work and give me all the possible scenarios.
Then give the final verdict of if that number converges to 0.000% or 100.00% that the average Joe would succeed his false-hope mission for a successful rollover.
In other words think of it like this: If the average joe bets his entire bank roll 12 or more times (roll-over is not x10 because of bookie juice), what is the probability that he will still end up in the green? Also assign a tilt probability factor that the Average Joe would go on some emotional tilt spree to end up bust again? And make it even harder by eliminating 2-3 full months of real sports (N-2.5) and having to bet on Bovada's limited shitty ass lines and shitty live odds.
If you fucking want to eliminate the -2.5 months, then allow the average joe the freedom to bet on N months of e-sports [hahah] and see where that goes.
I had a bad experience betting on e-sports for 2 months and only end up -15-20U. I'm not saying that I lost because I suck at e-sports betting or I tailed the wrong people. The Bovada lines are super shitty and limited. Most of the time, on live esports, all you see are dashed out lines as if they fucking know what the rigged result is and prevent people from doing hedge bets or try to bet opposite spreads when they are winning to guarantee an insurance 1-1 with minimal damage incurred to their bank-roll. The live betting experience on e-sports on the Bovada platform is so bad that you are guaranteed to lose in the long run. Fucking hell Bodog/Bovada even offered me a $250 deposit on 100% bonus after the Rudy Gobert day in Mid March. They advertised the joys and wonders of getting rich betting off esports.
I was so tempted to deposit, however I kind of over-slept and missed out on the dead-line so they closed the bonus offer. Pretty good relief that I did not fuck-up my real credit card and bank account by falling for that scam again. It was an accidental Grace of God moment to fucking avoid that E-sports deposit marketing scam.
BONUS Questions:
A: Calculate the number of months needed and number of successful bets required for the conservative degen 1u bettor to grind out the roll-over playing
$2.00 tug of war with the bookie.
B: Calculate the odds that a professional capper who knows how to adjust unit sizes (1u-5u), do parlays once a while, will succeed the roll-over in some
N-2.5 months or add some e-sports to have fun to keep the N factor.
C.1: Calculate the conditional probabilities for the bettor succeeding in the mission if on the first few days of betting:
i) He loses bet 1 for about $20.
ii) Wins bet 1 for about $20 to earn $17.5.
iii) Goes on a 3 game losing streak
iv) 5 game losing streak
v) Positivity case: The guy got lucky and nearly doubled his bank roll on a decent run from day. Up +100U or $200. [I'm sure that out of bad discipline the average Joe would still go -200U in the long run with a pretty high probability.]
C.2: Determine the mathematical scheme on how the Bookies can use your first few losses to eventually put you in a 60+:40- (Greater than 60% locked in bonus, less than 40% of your deposited money). Bonus:Locked funds ratio.
The Jinx-King answer: It converges to zero [hahaha], but I really am interested in know what other scenarios math and stats people have come up. And your mathematical approaches and formulae used to generate possible scenarios and probabilities. But I think it is safe to say that for the average Joe,the answer is 0.00% success rate. Bodog/Bovada knows this exactly and refuses to put a hiatus on the roll-over deadline. Instead they keep it going so that people can try to wager on e-sports and lose their entire bank roll. They are only interested it getting 100% of your locked funds so that they can buy expensive cruises, yachts, beach mansions, resort packages, etc in Aruba or some other tropical place. Where you got millions of desperate Americans, Canadians in struggling economies with lost jobs and zero positive cash-flow. About 10% or so or perhaps even more deposit money into off-shore gambling websites hoping they can roll-over their bank-roll some ridiculous number of times and make a few bucks to put food on the table.
In fact, it makes matters worst being jobless, having zero cash flow and having locked funds in scamming bookies. If you are not good at casino or sports-betting games, you would have:
A: Lose your entire deposit for failing to grind it out properly.
B: Not grind it out on time on whatever dead-line the roll-over was.
C: Even if you did successfully grind that shit out using conservative 1u betting and play $2 tug of war with the bookie, you will end up just wasting your time grinding it out for hours and hours on end. It would have been better for you to fucking find a job at some farm helping out with harvesting crops or work in meat plants so that food does not go to waste. I bet you I can make more money than your $2 tug of war in one a day picking off cans and bottles off the streets in some exercise walking/running/biking + collection routine then selling it to the recycling center for $0.05-0.25 a unit. Trust me at my university, I spot maybe about 50-200 empty/partially driven cans and bottles left on desks, lecture halls, the floor, libraries, work areas, etc. Supposed that I harvested that shit, I would be making $5-$20 a day collecting it all and going to the recycling center once every week.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚖Conclusions⚖:
The fucking company knows this COVID-19 closure shit and want to use it to their advantage to continue to rob millions of their customers. Last week, I tried to call customer service, chat help, email, etc. and management has spoken to plead my case to delay the roll-over dead-line in a pro-rated time frame so that customers with locked balances can resume betting with their full balance when Game 1 of any Major League Sport actually returns. They give me the same bull-shit over and over saying they decline my request. For what reason?

1. The terms and conditions written in fine print for accepting the bonus conversion challenge. "Rules are Rules."
2. They were aware my deadline of June 22 at 19:23 ET was approaching soon. They knew I was on a mission to salvage my bank roll before they yank out the 60-75U trapped in bonus balances (i.e. Ghost money). By the end of it, I realize I made a foolish mistake. Most of my wins were just from bonus money and I was rewarded $0.00 on righteous wins on expired bonuses.

Therefore Bonus money only earns bonus money which put my entire bank-roll in a 80:20 ratio where the bookies control 80U in ghost money. By the end of the roll-over deadline, they get to yank out 80U of my balance at the deadline and left me with about $100 (20U) bank roll to regrind.

1. They knew I was winning consistently making solid picks.

During my 110 hour marathon over the brutal grind of losing more than 70 hours of work, leisure and recreation; 35 hours of sleep; to a fucking impossible grind of trying to roll over some 60% of $7500 on sports I have little knowledge of capping (i.e. E-sports, Table Tennis, European football) after a few days of studying the game, I was picking up my stride to grind it to 91%. They fucking knew that if I had another day to grind, they would be coughing up +$600-800 of withdrawable balance to my account.

Bio:😎📚🎓👨‍🎓
I am a Fucking PHD Candidate (2-6 months from graduating and not having to pay another round of BS tuition) who does a shitload of mathematics, statistics, simulations, mathematical physics, wrote scientific papers. I've won T.A. Awards, Government/Provincial/Institutional level scholarships, Conference presentations, with even Undergrad honors back in the day. DM me if you need a fucking CV to prove my fucking credentials.
Why am I able to write a lot of shit? Because my fucking brain operates on some max level Intel Xeon chip on overclock mode and I cannot do much to shut it down other than going to sleep. They only way is to write articles that I think might benefit the community.
I have a crazy interest in sports and Degen'ing. I love to fucking put action on sports games, be proud about making the correct calls on the outcome of games before it happens, and then boast to my circle of competitive friends about who's the fucking Boss. As tabboo as society think us degens are, I think this absolute BS. There is a pure enjoyment in watching sports and having action on it. It is nice to get paid beer money to cover a round for your buddies, or earn that rent money over a successful night of betting on shit you actually enjoy watching. Fuck I rather make $300 for one evening of enjoying sports rather than working a 9-5 dull job to try to afford rent/mortgage. If I can fucking pay off all my monthly expenses in 3 fucking successful nights of 3 hr sessions of sports matches, that would be ideal. I would take the lather over a 9-5 rat-race grind.
Overall I am "PRO" in the debate for local single sports betting bookies to be established in Canada. Get these fucking scamming off-shore books like bodog/Bovada who contribute only contribute "Bagel" to the Canadian Economy, but instead make it worst by scamming the masses of hard working or desperate people to leak out some sum of billions of dollars of national GDP. Probably the same applies to all American States, that people should not have to cough up their hard earned $$$$ to off-shore scamming bookies. I shall write an article about this later to justify my arguments later.
Ultimately I my goal is to obliterate or negate the influence of all the cons, scamming bookies, and false touts out there who are just interested in stealing people's $$$. To write out full studies on exposing their schemes in an objective lens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calling me out: (Think I cannot track these pussy downvotes? I know you cowards 😂😜😎)
If you think I'm full of BS, then send me a personal DM to have a 1v1 argument the same way that Stephen A debates sports with Max Kellerman. You can downvote me or flame me with empty hate talk all you want on public threads. But don't be a fucky pussy by avoiding a debate with me. Trust me, I'm going to win and be the last one to state a real point that you will have no comeback for [haha]. Lastly, if you are open to discuss or debate with me about some issues, do some resarch/exploration, betting strategies, etc., I would love your collaboration in some projects I got going on.
Ultimately, I should help every honest worker strive towards Degen success or if not, just to purely enjoy putting action on sports games. If you are too full of yourself, then you are on your own, I bid thee adieu, and wish you all the best. However you will be absolutely declined to all services and counsel I work to provide to friends for free.

Turns out many people cannot withdraw anything out of Bovada/bodog due to some website glitches. Will try to recover a bankroll to attempt a withdrawal, however I am likely to have the same issues too. They will make some lame excuse to not give me a cheque. Definitely no point of pursuing anything in bovada/bodog if they refuse to give you withdrawables. The goal is to get their website off outta here. As well as get them out of advertisements. They definitely pulled off some "Get the fucking money and run scheme" and you will likely not see your money again. GG

Want to expose a bad tout who over prices the service and has a mediocre record? Tail and fade to call their their BS or mediocre non profiting record out. Also good for finding legitimate winners too. This will be a mission to expose shitty touts on Twitter the way Penn & Teller exposes BS in the market.

I've been trying to log into my Bovada account because MLB opening day is today. I really want to go heavy on Yankees and some prop bets. When I tried to log in, it gives me an error saying that my account has been disabled for whatever reason. I email customer service about this issue, and the automated response advises me to reset my password through the login portal, or respond with my 4 digit pin number and DOB.
Fair enough.
I go through the 'Forgot my password' prompt and a message pops up informing me that an email has been sent to the email linked to my account.
I never get it.
The second time around, I decide to send in my pin and date of birth to get an email back on what I need to do next. Time is running out.
I decide to start a live chat with a Bovada customer support guy named Juan. He told me that the only way to help me is to put me on a two-day waiting list to receive a call from them in order to reset my password. I just don't see why it's necessary to wait this long when it was going to be in an email to begin with.
AFTER THIS... I get an email from the bovada team telling me that I have a negative balance, and I need to pay off my balance with bitcoin in order to unlock my account... I know for a fact that the last time I logged out of my Bovada account, I had a positive balance.
Has anyone else had an experience like this?

I've recently received notice from my bank that a check from Bovada bounced. I have called their customer support number and they have cancelled customer support via telephone until further notice. They mentioned live chat but I cannot find anything about it. I'm guessing many customers wanted to cash out because of COVID-19. I expected my check to be delayed for that reason, but it eventually bounced. I got my bank to send me notice for the failed deposit. In the meantime I will email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and see where that gets me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

On Tuesday I had made numerous wagers on bovada.lv live betting after depositing around 150 dollars. Have been a member of bovada for around 6+ years. Never had any problems with bovada in making deposits or withdrawals. I have received checks, Bank transfers and btc withdrawals without a problem. I have also deposited via BTC, credit and debit without a problem. Late Tuesday night my account was disabled for unkonown reasons. I don't have multiple accounts, have sent in all ID verification years prior before my first withdrawal. I can't use bovadas live chat due to my account being disabled and currently can't call bovada customer service due to it being down. I sent off a couple emails with no help at this current time. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do, or how to speed up this process or even get into contact with someone directly? Email wise.

Bovada dealers arbitrarily enforce and break the rules of their Live Dealer Early Payout Blackjack game to manipulate hand outcomes in their favor. Here are the rules, copy and pasted with the important bits in bold.
^{How to Play Live Blackjack Early Payout} Overview
^{^ Live Blackjack Early Payout is Bovada's live casino games version of Blackjack Early Payout, the highest paying blackjack game on the Internet. BJEP has an expected return of 99.50% and automatic Basic Strategy software, so players receive highlighted prompts on the best strategy for each hand. **Each step of the way, you can choose to play optimal strategy or use your gut instinct.**
Blackjack Early Payout presents a player with a challenge: Should I take a payout right now or play for the big win? After you receive a new card, you're offered an instant payout. The payout offered is based on the strength of the dealer's up-card and can be either higher or lower than the original bet. Players have the ability to play up to three hands at a time for a fast, challenging game of blackjack.
Live Blackjack Early Payout is a part of Bovada’s live dealer casino games, the latest way to play live dealer blackjack online. Bovada's dealers are streamed live in real time from a studio. The live blackjack dealers are friendly, fluent, and knowledgeable about the game. Live Dealer Blackjack Early Payout presents a game with a low house edge and two exciting side bets. ^ Blackjack Early Payout Features
The game has several distinct features which make BJEP one of the most talked-about games around. These features help keep the game moving, while avoiding several pitfalls longtime blackjack gamblers dislike. Blackjack Early Payout offers veteran blackjack players a new challenge to win real money while keeping the essential features of a high return-to-player and optimal strategy.
Fast Play: Because other hands play according to basic strategy, Blackjack Early Payout plays fast and you never have to worry about another player messing up the deal.
Basic Strategy: When a new card is dealt to you, the best play according to basic strategy is highlighted in bright blue. You can choose your own strategy, highlighted in silver.
Early Payout: The key rule is early payout. Whenever a new card is dealt, the Early Payout offer is highlighted in green. Take the deal or play for more money.
Multi-Hand Blackjack You can bet on one, two, or three hands at a time. By playing three-hand blackjack, you never have to wait on a deal and achieve the fastest version of the game. ^ How to Play Live Blackjack Early Payout
Now that you understand the basics, let's discuss how a hand of BJEP transpires and how to win at Blackjack Early Payout. The game plays much like classic blackjack does, though you'll be at a three-seat blackjack table. Bovada suggests you take the Basic Strategy advice until you get comfortable with the game interface and BJEP rules. Read through the guide below to see how a typical hand of Blackjack Early Payout plays out.
Place Main Bets: Start the hand by selecting a chip value. Choose a seat by choosing the center bet box on any one, any two, or all three of the seats at the table.
Place Side Bets: You can make side bets by placing chips to the right or the left of the main bet box. The Pairs side bet is located to the left of the main bet, while the Rummy side bet is located to the right of the main bet.
The Deal: Once bets are set, you enter the "No More Bets" phase of the hand. The dealer deals two cards to each of the players seats, while dealing two cards to the dealer hand.
Dealer's Hand: The dealer will have one up-card. If this card is an Ace, you can choose to buy insurance. The dealer's hand and all non-player hands are dealt according to basic strategy.
Player's Hand: Options like HIT, STAND, DOUBLE, or SPLIT are provided. Bovada's software provides basic strategy tips, so you can play like a pro.
Early Payout: Each time you receive a card, you'll also be offered an early payout, so decide to take the payout or play the hand. For example, if you hold a 20 and the dealer is showing a 10, you'll be offered a 50%+ payout, which is smart to take.
**You can always take fewer cards than basic strategy suggests. You cannot HIT when blackjack basic strategy calls for you to STAND, because the dealer always follows basic strategy** Ultimately, Bovada makes certain you play the fairest game of Blackjack Early Payout possible. Side Bets
Two side bets are available in Live Blackjack Early Payout. One is the Pairs side bet, which is similar to the Perfect Pairs Blackjack game found on Bovada. With the Pairs Bet, you'll receive an 11-to-1 payout anytime your hole cards are a pair. Whether you receive 4-4, Q-Q, or A-A, you receive the 11:1 payout.
The other side bet is the Rummy Bet. In this case, you receive a 9:1 payout if your first three cards come in sets. This might be a Three-of-a-Kind, a three-card straight, or a three-card flush. If any of these three combinations appear, you'll receive a 9-to-1 payout. The Rummy Bet provides many new options for a winning hand that you don't see in blackjack every day. Live Blackjack Early Payout Odds
Live Blackjack Early Payout’s return-to-player is comparable to classic blackjack and better than many other online blackjack variants. What separates BJEP and makes it uncommon in online blackjack is the Basic Strategy prompts used in the game. Previously, a player had to study basic strategy and memorize charts which told how to play each hand. With Blackjack Early Payout, you can achieve optimal play simply by doing what the Bovada software tells you to do. The real challenge is deciding when to take the early payout or not.
BJEP's side bets have a higher house edge. Most bets in a casino with a higher payout have a lower expected return and Blackjack Early Payout's side bets are no different. The odds of winning are less than on the Blackjack Early Payout main bet, but the Pairs Bet has an 11:1 payout and the Rummy Bet has a 9:1 payout. Like so many other cases in this version of blackjack, players are given the option to deviate from optimal strategy to seek higher payouts. ^ Technical Interruptions
In the event technical interruptions happen to a game of blackjack, Bovada follows the accepted policies in the casino industry. In live dealer blackjack, if a misdeal or other technical issues besides connectivity happens, then all hands are voided and all bets are returned to players.
If a player's Internet connection is interrupted during a hand, any bets you have made will remain in play. The bets are played until the bet wins, loses, or pushes. If you fail to respond in the allotted time, the hand continues. The Bovada software will play your hand according to basic strategy. You still have an optimal chance to win, but the hand could lose or push. Once the hand you bet on is over, you'll be logged out of the game until you place a new bet.
Welcome to Blackjack Early Payout V 2.0!
Both new and professional blackjack players will love this feature rich game designed specifically to deliver an outstanding Live Dealer Blackjack experience.
Main features of the game You can bet on one, two or all 3 hands every time. No waiting for a seat! Lots of action! ^ Very fast play – dealers will always deal the cards according to the optimal player strategy known to professional players as Basic Strategy. The benefits of this are both fast and consistent play. Your result will never be affected by another player's poor decision nor will you have to wait. ^ While Basic Strategy will offer an exceptional game payout of 99.5%, blackjack players want choices. For each hand where you have placed a wager, you can either follow the Basic Strategy decision to HIT/STAND/DOUBLE or SPLIT or choose a different option. ^ The default action will be highlighted Bright Blue OR you can select your own option highlighted in Silver. Options will change depending on the hand. ^ **For example, if the player has a 15 and the dealer has a 10, Basic Strategy will HIT. However, one player can choose to STAND if he wants to, while other players accept the HIT. If you choose STAND, the next card that comes out will not affect you and will appear as a Ghost Card on the user interface. ^ In all cases, you can elect to take fewer cards than Basic Strategy recommends ^(ie STAND or DOUBLE when Basic Strategy says to HIT).

Their dealers will break the "you can always elect to take fewer cards" rule when it benefits them to do so. I played winning rounds until the video became laggy and the dealer would continuously say "hit" and ignore my call to stand. Upon speaking up she told me it's the rules, "you should read and learn the rules if you want to play this game." Another dealer came over to confirm the rule that you must always follow "basic strategy". After leaving and reading the rules again, I came back and tried chatting with the pit boss which is basically like speaking to a bot. While in lobby, I watched the dealer allow stands on hands "basic strategy" would suggest hit on and he won those hands. One of the rounds afterwards, he forced a draw which resulted in a bust, and the player wrote in chat that he click stand.
I have chatted with several reps, the bitboss and customer support about the issue and they ignore everything I say. The live chat reps have repeatedly quoted this line in the rules, "you cannot HIT when blackjack basic strategy calls for you to STAND" even though it obviously does not apply. Only one time did they even acknowledge when I told the the rules say, "You can always take fewer cards than basic strategy suggests." and that was to ask me where it came from.
I explained all of this via email, even the bits about my points being ignored and here's the response.
*Thanks for contacting Bovada Customer Service.
As per the pitboss, the Basic Strategy rule applies in this instance.
We're available to help 24/7 if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Bovada Customer Service*
I don't know what I should do at this point. Their rules contradict everything they're telling me.

So I don't post often.. In fact, this is the very first time I am posting in this sub. However I believe anyone who wants to bet online should be aware of what they are doing:
​
Recently I deposited funds via BTC into a new Bovada account just to try it out. Took exactly 3-5 minutes to process. I'm not a brand new better, I've been playing at 5dimes and betonline for some time now but after getting limited on 5dimes I decided to try out a different site so I would have increased limits. Doubled up my BR in a couple weeks and decided that the site was 'ok' but wasn't quite right for me. Heard about Nitrogen's sportsbook and since I deal in BTC anyway I figured I would give a BTC sportsbook a try.
​
Decided to put in a BTC withdrawal request. While pending a withdrawal for the first time you get an email notification that says they require a photo ID and a utility bill of sorts to prove your place of Residency as shown on your ID and it would take roughly 24-48 hours to process. Okay, no problem, it's a security thing, I totally get it. So I submitted my documents without questioning it. I got an email within a few hours of sending my documents saying that they reviewed them and my documents checked out, okay cool..... so..... can my pending withdrawal process now?
Not quite...
After waiting another 14 hours since I got the email stating my documentation checked out I decided to ask support what the hold up was since I was cleared and since BTC transfers take literal minutes. They tell me that it is still in review. I proceed to say that I got the email that my documents checked out but they say apparently it still takes the full 24-48 hours to finish the review process.. hmm... okay.. even though BTC takes a very small amount of time to process, but no worries.
So then I ask live support, this is for the first withdrawal right? Since my documents cleared if I make another BTC withdrawal request it should take roughly 10-15 minutes max to withdraw correct?
Nope.
They inform me that EVERY REQUEST takes roughly 24-48 HOURS!?!???
Umm.. ok... but like... I already cleared my documents. Why does a BTC withdrawal take 24-48 hours...
After a very mildly heated debate (totally civil, btw) about opinions regarding their ridiculous withdrawal process the live chat with a representative ends and I kid you not, 32 seconds later I get a notification on my Bovada account that reads:
​
"Hello,
We want to let you know we've received a particularly large number of requests recently and because of that, we are currently outside of our normal review timelines.
All payout requests are being reviewed and processed as quickly as possible and we expect to be back within our normal time frames in the next 7-10 days. We'll send you a message as soon as your payout has been approved.
We're very sorry for the delay and inconvenience. We pride ourselves on delivering some of the quickest payouts in the industry and are diligently working to return to that level of service as soon as we can.
Thank you,Customer Service"
​
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!??!?!?! Can anyone else verify that they put in a request to withdraw from this site in the past couple days and got the same exact message? Because I swear to god they're sending this to me on purpose and delaying it further because of my very MILDLY heated argument with a live chat rep. Now I'm pissed. The 24-48 hours thing is bullshit to begin with but right after the live chat they hit me with this bullshit?? Has anyone else experienced this much garbage from an online book before?
One day when I finally get all my funds removed I will never touch this site again. Absolutely ridiculous.
​
Edit: Okay so a lot of comments informed me that it clearly states on their terms that withdrawal processes take 24-48 hours which I clearly missed. That's on me. Still think that's a little long for a crypto transfer. Imho.
​
Edit 2: So my funds cleared (which I was never worried they wouldn't) and all is good. I still have some funds in Bovada so those being negative towards me shilling for Bovada can calm down. I never said it was a terrible book I just wanted to share my opinion on their BTC withdrawal "process".

Bovada dealers arbitrarily enforce and break the rules of their Live Dealer Early Payout Blackjack game to manipulate hand outcomes in their favor. Here are the rules, copy and pasted with the important bits in bold.

Dealer's Hand: The dealer will have one up-card. If this card is an Ace, you can choose to buy insurance. The dealer's hand and all non-player hands are dealt according to basic strategy.
Player's Hand: Options like HIT, STAND, DOUBLE, or SPLIT are provided. Bovada's software provides basic strategy tips, so you can play like a pro.
Early Payout: Each time you receive a card, you'll also be offered an early payout, so decide to take the payout or play the hand. For example, if you hold a 20 and the dealer is showing a 10, you'll be offered a 50%+ payout, which is smart to take.
You can always take fewer cards than basic strategy suggests. You cannot HIT when blackjack basic strategy calls for you to STAND, because the dealer always follows basic strategy Ultimately, Bovada makes certain you play the fairest game of Blackjack Early Payout possible. Side Bets
Two side bets are available in Live Blackjack Early Payout. One is the Pairs side bet, which is similar to the Perfect Pairs Blackjack game found on Bovada. With the Pairs Bet, you'll receive an 11-to-1 payout anytime your hole cards are a pair. Whether you receive 4-4, Q-Q, or A-A, you receive the 11:1 payout.
The other side bet is the Rummy Bet. In this case, you receive a 9:1 payout if your first three cards come in sets. This might be a Three-of-a-Kind, a three-card straight, or a three-card flush. If any of these three combinations appear, you'll receive a 9-to-1 payout. The Rummy Bet provides many new options for a winning hand that you don't see in blackjack every day. Live Blackjack Early Payout Odds
Live Blackjack Early Payout’s return-to-player is comparable to classic blackjack and better than many other online blackjack variants. What separates BJEP and makes it uncommon in online blackjack is the Basic Strategy prompts used in the game. Previously, a player had to study basic strategy and memorize charts which told how to play each hand. With Blackjack Early Payout, you can achieve optimal play simply by doing what the Bovada software tells you to do. The real challenge is deciding when to take the early payout or not.
BJEP's side bets have a higher house edge. Most bets in a casino with a higher payout have a lower expected return and Blackjack Early Payout's side bets are no different. The odds of winning are less than on the Blackjack Early Payout main bet, but the Pairs Bet has an 11:1 payout and the Rummy Bet has a 9:1 payout. Like so many other cases in this version of blackjack, players are given the option to deviate from optimal strategy to seek higher payouts. ^ Technical Interruptions
In the event technical interruptions happen to a game of blackjack, Bovada follows the accepted policies in the casino industry. In live dealer blackjack, if a misdeal or other technical issues besides connectivity happens, then all hands are voided and all bets are returned to players.
If a player's Internet connection is interrupted during a hand, any bets you have made will remain in play. The bets are played until the bet wins, loses, or pushes. If you fail to respond in the allotted time, the hand continues. The Bovada software will play your hand according to basic strategy. You still have an optimal chance to win, but the hand could lose or push. Once the hand you bet on is over, you'll be logged out of the game until you place a new bet.
Welcome to Blackjack Early Payout V 2.0!
Both new and professional blackjack players will love this feature rich game designed specifically to deliver an outstanding Live Dealer Blackjack experience.
Main features of the game You can bet on one, two or all 3 hands every time. No waiting for a seat! Lots of action! ^ Very fast play – dealers will always deal the cards according to the optimal player strategy known to professional players as Basic Strategy. The benefits of this are both fast and consistent play. Your result will never be affected by another player's poor decision nor will you have to wait. ^ While Basic Strategy will offer an exceptional game payout of 99.5%, blackjack players want choices. For each hand where you have placed a wager, you can either follow the Basic Strategy decision to HIT/STAND/DOUBLE or SPLIT or choose a different option. ^ The default action will be highlighted Bright Blue OR you can select your own option highlighted in Silver. Options will change depending on the hand. ^ For example, if the player has a 15 and the dealer has a 10, Basic Strategy will HIT. However, one player can choose to STAND if he wants to, while other players accept the HIT. If you choose STAND, the next card that comes out will not affect you and will appear as a Ghost Card on the user interface. ^ In all cases, you can elect to take fewer cards than Basic Strategy recommends ie STAND or DOUBLE when Basic Strategy says to HIT. However, you will never be allowed to HIT when the Basic Strategy says STAND because the dealer will always follow Basic Strategy no matter what the players choose ^ Another amazing feature of this game is Early Payout. Each time your hand changes, you will be offered an Early Payout amount highlighted in Green. This is the amount of money you can take immediately to end the hand before any more cards are dealt. ^ For example, if you have a 20 and the dealer has a 10, you can take a substantial profit immediately – a very wise decision if the dealer ends up with 20!
Side Bets: There are two side bets available on each of the three boxes: PAIRS and RUMMY. PAIRS bets pay 11:1 and win on any pair e.g. 4,4, Q,Q, A, A. If the Player's first two cards are a pair, you win! ^ RUMMY bets pay 9:1. This bet is also known as 2 plus 1 in some parts of the world. This bet uses a combination of 3 cards: the Player's first two cards PLUS the Dealer's UP card. There are 3 ways to win a RUMMY bet: ^ 1. A 3 card straight e.g. 4H, 5D, 6S. ^ 2. 3 of the same card value e.g. 10H, 10D, 10S ^ 3. 3 of the same suit / flush e.g. 2D, 9D, KD

Their dealers will break the "you can always elect to take fewer cards" rule when it benefits them to do so. I played winning rounds until the video became laggy and the dealer would continuously say "hit" and ignore my call to stand. Upon speaking up she told me it's the rules, "you should read and learn the rules if you want to play this game." Another dealer came over to confirm the rule that you must always follow "basic strategy". After leaving and reading the rules again, I came back and tried chatting with the pit boss which is basically like speaking to a bot. While in lobby, I watched the dealer allow stands on hands "basic strategy" would suggest hit on and he won those hands. One of the rounds afterwards, he forced a draw which resulted in a bust, and the player wrote in chat that he click stand.
I have chatted with several reps, the bitboss and customer support about the issue and they ignore everything I say. The live chat reps have repeatedly quoted this line in the rules, "you cannot HIT when blackjack basic strategy calls for you to STAND" even though it obviously does not apply. Only one time did they even acknowledge when I told the the rules say, "You can always take fewer cards than basic strategy suggests." and that was to ask me where it came from.
I explained all of this via email, even the bits about my points being ignored and here's the response.
*Thanks for contacting Bovada Customer Service.
As per the pitboss, the Basic Strategy rule applies in this instance.
We're available to help 24/7 if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Bovada Customer Service*
I don't know what I should do at this point. Their rules contradict everything they're telling me.
