    Don't you just hate it when
    You think you've placed a bet, it wins, and then you find out it didn't go through?

    Just had Gimeno-Traver to win the first set against Groth @ 2.37. At least I thought I did.

    Never nice. Basically feels like you've lost a bet.

    Has it happened to you? It doesn't happen often, but it has definitely happened to me a handful of times over the years.

    I bet $400 on Pliskova ML @2.5 live on the last Pliskova-Ivanovic game. After I placed my bet Pliskova won the first set and had a break advantage plus someting like 0-30 on Ivanovic's serve on the 2nd set. So Ivanovic ML was @8-10 at one instance.

    Then she began to play great, Pliskova began making ues and I began losing my hope as Pliskova could not win rallies, albeit had a tremendous serve. The game was as tight as it could be, I clearly lost a few months from my lifespan, but Pliskova won.

    I was extremely happy, had things to do at the moment and did not look at my bookie account. Then when I opened my account there was not the increase I expected. My bet was $4 in my history. I think I pressed the letter "O" instead of the number "0". The shock was brutal, I was really down for a few hours

        Never happened to me. But had few similar situations, when I was a "kid". Most of the europeans start with their betting in these shitty locals. Odds are terrible, you are taxed on stake and payout, no singles, betting card not that great with very few extra betting options, people which work behind the counter are mostly incompetent etc. So when these people are reading the event numbers which you wrote down and the selections, and putting them into computer, in 1/3 of cases, there will be a mistake on your final ticket.
        So one day I wasn't careful and didn't check it, after I got the ticket. And there was a mistake (away win, instead of home), which cost me nearly 2k. It was a pretty sad evening, I can tell you that
