    Always amazes me when I see this when placing a wager. Good job BetIslands.

    This use to happen ALL the time the other way with my old book.

    The line changed for one (or more) of your selections.

    I've had it in my favor a few times and against me a few. But your right, in most books it's only against you.

    They would be smarter to direct you to a new page saying 'the line has changed since you made your selection, the new odds are x.xx, would you still like to place a wager for $x.xx?'

    That's what that page is actually. Hard to tell on the copy and paste but that's exactly what it is. For the person who said it was reverse psychology, how does that make sense? I already clicked place wager or whatever then that's when it basically says the line was changed (in my favor) do you still want to place the wager? U think they want me to cancel that out and go add more to it or something?

    I never had a betislands account but I know pinnacle (in the past when I bet there) would you make you go back and re-bet.

    This happens all the time at Bookmaker....sometimes for you, sometimes against you. 50/50 to me probably. Hopefully you get lucky here in 2H and that hook helps you out! :-) Cheers.

    Only the shit books I've used don't give you a line change in your favor. In my experience, BetUS and Bodog almost never give you a "the line has moved in your favor" but I've gotten plenty of them at every other book I've used.
