The bet was up and posted around noon Tuesday. Looked at lines this morning and everything was normal. Log in just now and my account balance had been credited back the balance of the bet. I bet the series at -125 and now it's at -240. This line has moved multiple times in between my bet and the current price. Is this acceptable?

WHAT A CROCK OF S-H-I-T... how much was this bet for?Comment -
Go to your account history, usually there's a note next to the cancelled bet or a message from customer service send to your My Account pageComment -
Oh shit, they cancelled mine too! I had laid $250 to win $200.
They better have refunded everyone that placed a Clippers future too then.Comment -
It was for just a little over a unit. So 62.50 to win 50.00. Outcome simply says canceled.Comment -
yet they rated A+, lolComment -
Part of me is OK with this, as after more thinking I'm leaning Clippers tonight. Still a BS stunt on Bovada's part though.Comment -
Just called. They put me on hold and came back and said all Portland/Clippers series bets were voided at -125 as a line error. I am in the process of withdrawing my funds. The customer service lady was very nice but again IMO that was a dirty play by them.
i have up until now been very happy with bovada, this is my first issue and it will make me leave the book. They already take awhile to post prices and lines, now this, not only voiding bets but also waiting so long the price is unbeatableComment -
Looks like a clear line error so can't really fault Bodog. Been betting with them for years and consider them A+ book imo.Comment -
I seen Port -125 series on B365 later in the night -200, yesterday, probably the same thing happened.Comment -
these books are all pussies now, ive seen fine print in terms at a couple where it says "bets made after public knowledge" - if they have that they willl get you there if they are going off the blake griffin injury news for cancelling. just another excuse for them being lazy and not adjusting lines quick enough or taking them down.
its def not a line error imoComment -
Nope not a line error, until griffin got announced as out for the playoffs this was a valid line, they were slow to update. Part of issue we were trying to get to bottom of with cris fiasco a few weeks back, there needs to be a set standard as to when things can and can't be deleted or we are all just sitting ducks waiting for them to screw us. You probably won't get very far as the board was split between updated books at -200 and slow books at -125 so all they have to say is that -200 was the market tough luck.Comment -
tough call
need more detailsComment -
This was in no way a line error.
I bet clippers to win series at +120 at Justbet yesterday. So the line was just fine. Bovada was probably just slow to react to the news of Griffin being out. My bet at Justbet was ofc not cancelled. And I would not expect it to be.
It is extremely shady if Bovada is cancelling these wagers.Comment -
According to a SBR ruling in a previous complaint, this is not a bad line but a stale line. You can read the ruling here. And see at the bottom the difference between a line error and a stale line
So submit your complaints. You should have a good chance of winning them. And i hope you do, as it would set a horrible precedent if Bovada can cancel these bets.Comment -
I admire you for withdrawing your $$$ and [presumably] not doing business with them anymoreComment -
I have portland +700 with my local for $100. He won't pay either cause clippers will still win.Comment -
If a car dealer sells you a car for $10,000 because it was the advertised price in a newspaper can they take your car away the next day if the price advertised in the newspaper is incorrect?Comment -

This is a great example of what a line error isn't and clearly here not a line error.Comment -
ok ..definitely not a line error
The bet should be reinstatedComment -
How do I file a complaintComment -
-
Thanks Jj. It's getting worse and worse now. Called back to close out my account after my soccer bets cleared and let them know I was filing a complaint and to see if they are standing on this ruling. First call I was placed on hold waiting for a manager and was then hung up on after 10 minute hold. Call back get through again and they ask what's going on I tell them the wager was canceled and the Rep said let me see why, I said before you go let them know that this was not a line error but a stale line they fell asleep on. He said hold....comes back and says where are filing a complaint, I said sbr. He says the ok anything else I can do. I said cash me out. Now I can't withdraw without a fee even though my account it notated that my checks by courie are free bc they have tried all my cards and **** fast fund won't work����Comment -
Point was it is the book's responsibility to oversee the lines they offer to players. A player's job is not to try and guess if the line is incorrect, stale or bad before placing a bet. Other than checking their own software for the lines offered in their website what other job does a line manager and his employees have to do all day?Comment
