i have seen a few posts recently concerning sports interaction. i have had some trouble in the past with SIA. i have collected several times, but the situation i am about to explain will probably stop them from allowing bets on the grammys. each year E! television network and MTV both have pre-grammy awards shows (the little red carpet deal). there are also many awards in the grammys...many of which are announced before the actually airing of the show. they are mostly small awards , but for the past 2 years two of the awards that were announced before the show were also on the SIA website available for betting. two years ago specifically steely dan was nearly a 30-1 underdog on some category (i'm not a big music fan, dont remember the category). steely dan was then announced before the show aired as a winner of their category. I noticed this and just thought i'd try a deposit and wager. to my amazement the bet went through so i proceeded to make another deposit and parlayed steely dan with a few college basketball teams. i ended up with quite an account balance and was able to cashout no problem. last year however the same thing comes up , only with the favorites winning. i still deposited the money and got my account balance up quite a bit. this time when i wanted to cash out they withheld my money saying that there was collusion. i had told a few friends in my area about the bet and they opened accounts and made wagers and won. SIA told me that i was the one opening the accounts and trying to exceed the max bet limit. my balance along with my friends were reset to 0 and they said they were contacting the grammy office in LA to see if i was somehow connected. nonetheless we never received our money and to tell you the truth , SIA pretty much said "you're [censored] outta luck" for an explanation. i placed calls there for over a month , but to no avail. they just kept telling me no and kept the money. I asked had the bet lost would i have been charged and they would not answer. i was going to keep quiet about this in hopes i could get it to work this year, but decided to go ahead and get it out and tell you all to look for sites that allow wagers on the grammys. i found another last year and placed the max bet of 50 on a pre-announced winner and it won and i received money no problem. keep your eye open. i hope i am not looked down upon for this...just saw the opportunity and wanted to tell some people to be wary of SIA. there customer service reps are suspicious.

Bump

Don't have time to reply to this right now, but I am certainly not blowing it off and will address in a few.
