Warning for LIVE Bettors on Exchanges

[JOHON8]

I just lost 80 bucks betting on a LIVE -500 line when it was actually the losing team. I'll take it as a $80 dollar lesson to double check the name next time, thought I'd share this with you so you wouldn't have to learn the hard way.

ALWAYS double check the name of the team your betting on. There are people who constantly try and put in wrong lines when a team is 100% losing, making you think it's the line of the opposite team.

Yup - definitely a good warning - and this applies to any betting - not only exchanges. It's the oldest trick in the book

I'm guessing they didn't have the "plus" wager as another option?

"Malicious offers" on exchanges is an ongoing issue and as been there since day 1 on Betfair.

You do have to be careful.
Not just the offer of -500 (or 1.20) on the wrong side but the offer to lay 11.9 when the market is at 1.19 etc etc.

it can happen.
Be carefull always, and NEVER bet in a single operation (surebet and trading included) more of 10% of your bank!!!!
