I've had shit like this happen so many times with bovada. Not with visa deposits, but with WU or MG deposits. I send them the money, their shady people in the Philippines pick it up, and then every single time bovada gives me some bullshit reason why they can't credit the money to my account. Usually I go back and forth arguing with them for about 24 hours, I keep telling them that I can prove that they picked up the money, and they say they are sorry but there is nothing that they can do. Then eventually I say either I have the money in my account within the hour, or I am going to file a complaint with my bank and reverse the thousands of dollars in visa deposits that I have made in the last year. Within a half hour they have the money in my account. You should threaten to reverse the charge. It works for me every time.
It really boggles my mind why they can't get the deposits right. I sometimes wonder if they are just fucking with me because I play poker, and win more than I lose, and don't play the casino or bet much sports. So maybe they just don't care, and don't really want my service?
thanks for this bit of info, im probably going to try this tomorrow. Never in the history of me using a Visa et al, have I had something sitting in limbo. ESPECIALLY for a flat out DECLINE (which it shouldn't have been in the first place) As of now it's been about four hours, and they told me that it would be reversed within a half hour LOL. My Netspend statement is showing some pending transaction to Shanghai...well, that's reassuring!
Oh well, im sure Akeem is working hard on my issue as we speak...
No, it's just general incompetence.
My WU deposits have always gone through without problem, except in the case where WU themselves hold it up because they think I'm being romance scammed.
With that said, Bovada customer service is awful, and it is infuriating dealing with them. They're open 24/7 and can be reached by telephone, but it's maddening how incompetent/powerless/clueless most reps are.
Here is a pick for tomorrow:
Lakers at Boston - Over 216
This should be another monster scoring output, similar to the 239-point game we just saw with Lakers and Minnesota.
Here are the last scores of games where Boston played teams which typically score a lot of points:
109-105 (Atlanta)
94-88 (Portland)
118-114 (Phoenix)
122-121 (Cleveland)
110-107 (Toronto)
118-113 (Dallas)
So the only game where few points were scored was versus Portland. In every other example, a lot of points were scored and the game went OVER.
The Lakers are even more extreme:
129-122 OT (Toronto)
120-119 (Minnesota)
101-94 OT (Denver)
140-106 (Dallas)
114-109 (Atlanta)
136-115 (Golden State)
112-106 (Phoenix)
127-104 (Golden State)
118-111 (Clippers)
119-99 (Phoenix)
So again, every single one of these went over with the exception of one -- the Denver game (which I sadly bet on, and actually had a line of 221!)
So basically you have two teams which don't play any defense, and both of these teams have a fast style which also runs up their own score.
Lakers have allowed a whopping 111.1 points on average, but much more than that against high-scoring teams, as you can see above.
Boston has allowed over 107 points on average, and again more than that against high-scoring teams.
Both teams still score nearly 104 points per game themselves, despite both having poor records.
I think this line of 216 is a bargain.

Lakers shot up to 218 before it even came on the board on Bovada.
Right now it's 218 -105 on Bovada, 218 -110 in Vegas.
I took 945 to win 900.

Somehow I missed this one:
Washington (at home) -4.5 -105 vs Denver
Washington playing well recently, 12-5 overall. Denver is a middling 9-9 and is much more formidable at home in the altitude.
Bovada was -4.5 -115 instead of 105, so it cost me an extra $70 in risk to attempt to win the same 700.
Hope it wins. The line went to -5 -105 right after I bet (on Bovada), so I moved it.
Boston overs have been a tasty little secret for the past couple of weeks.
don't bet often but decided to take a flyer with a local bookie. $100 on a 3 team parlay
Oregon -14
Wisconsin -4
Baylor -7.5
Unfortunately today's game is leaving more of a bad taste.
My late pick on Washington was a huge success -- won by 30 points when the line was -4.5.
However, Boston/LA hasn't scored at the pace I expected, and there are only 177 points with 6:55 remaining.
It's pretty much screwed, unless the Lakers come back from 11 down and force it to OT.
Oh well.. good pick in theory, just looks like it's not happening. Too bad I bet a little extra money on it.
Edit: Problem has been the Lakers. Boston has scored 100 already.
Yup, gonna be 1-1 tonight.
111-88 right now with 1:33 left.
Lakers are sooooooooooooo bad, scoring so little against a horrible defending team like the Celtics.
Now 18-14-2.
So gross I get greedy and take Pacers moneyline because they are 0-15 with Cousins out of lineup. Kings win on last second shot.
