Jersey Betting rules

I made a mistake at a BTC online book and bet a parlay for 0.30 BTC instead of my intended 0.03. They wouldn't let me take it back so I've got an unwanted $2K to win $36K 5-game parlay, which I think falls into the 'life changing' category. Theoretically I could hedge it because the games arent simultaneous but I only have like 1.5 BTC in liquidity and dont want to buy more.

I'd prefer to use my 1.5BTC and also to hedge it with cash if the first 3 games win, at the new NJ sportsbook sites. Has anyone been there? I'm curious about the Meadowlands location to understand limits (how do they stop multiple bets?) and IRS issues. Crazy that I cant find this info online except that it varies by location.

Packers/Niners Over 46 -101
Cardinals +1.5 Thursday -104
Titans + 6.5 Sunday (London) -110
Jags Sunday 1:00 Moneyline -210
Skins Sunday 4:00 Moneyline -124

0.30 to win 5.69 BTC

    Since the parlay is 20% complete(+), talk to the risk manager and try to make a settlement. Explain your dilemma.

    1. I spoke to the Helpdesk within 60 seconds of the bet (11 hours before game 1). It is a BTC-only book and very automated. No dice. I have once in the past asked for a bet to be reversed and it was allowed.

    2. Jets96, I made the bet for entertainment purposes, I like the slow-burn of games at different times. I'm wondering what I saw in Arizona +1.5, that line has moved against me. Also dont like Titans on the neutral field - London games tend to be blowouts.
    Should put a quick end to my dilemma.

    3. I spoke to a guy who has been to the book. He says there is a $999 per ticket limit, no registration, just bring cash. No problem buying multiple $999 tickets.

    The place is AWFUL. I was there 10 days ago. The screen showing the lines only has a portion of the games. So you have to wait to get to the window to see the lines. There are a bunch of novices playing $5 a game and not deciding until they get to the window. And there is a very long line if you go near gametime. I doubt I will be going back. I only went to see if I could get a line better than my two online books. It's not worth the effort.

    Went back to the Meadowlands last weekend. Here's a strange rule. You can only bet a maximum of $2,000 at the window unless you are a FanDuel account holder (I don't want yet another account). I'm guessing I could have gotten back on line later on with a disguise. I wonder what the logic is on this.
