Online sportsbook takes the sting out of championship series after Miami falls in Game 5
San Jose, Costa Rica – June 17, 2014 – Most
Miami Heat fans aren’t celebrating today after the San Antonio Spurs
clobbered them in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to take the championship. But
that’s not necessarily the case at one popular online sportsbook.
SportsBettingOnline.ag
today announced that all bets on the Miami Heat to win the championship
made during pre-season or the regular season have been refunded.
“After several stunning losses, it’s safe to say the Heat just didn’t
show up at the finals,” stated Dave Johnson of SportsBettingOnline.ag.
“Before the season began, we tossed up a futures bet on whether the Heat
will win the NBA championship once again, based on their last two
championship wins in three finals appearances. We know that as the
season progressed and the Heat inched towards the finals, sports bettors
got pretty excited about the prospect of a threepeat.”
With San Antonio winning all but one of five games, Miami fell and
put the future of the Big 3 in question. To help soften the blow,
SportsBettingOnline.ag
has returned all futures bets placed during pre-season and during the
regular NBA season. The money has been credited to sports bettors’
account. Those who bet on Miami to win Game 5 do not qualify for the
refund.
Johnson notes that under normal circumstances, the sportsbook
probably wouldn’t have returned the losing bet. “This isn’t something we
do every day, but with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh barely
showing up to play and only notching one win, sports bettors who backed
Miami early deserve to be refunded.”
This isn’t the first time
SportsBettingOnline.ag
has refunded players for losing bets. Last month,
SportsBettingOnline.ag refunded players who backed the Philadelphia
Phillies after LA Dodger Josh Beckett pitched an unexpected no-hitter.
And two years ago, the online sportsbook refunded the
Pacquaio-Bradley fight, a controversial boxing match where many believed
Pacquaio was unfairly denied a win. SBO also refunded bettors who
wagered on Adam Scott to win the British Open. The Australian pro golfer
lost after leading by four strokes with just four holes to play.
Paying members cash for losing bets is a common occurrence at
SportsBettingOnline.ag. Instead of running unrealistic promotions with
ridiculous rollover requirements, SportsBettingOnline.ag features two
bonus offers, including a 10% cash back offer, win or lose, with no
rollovers.
