    My book had Portland at +1600 and I went all-in on it immediately. As soon as I pressed "confirm" the bet changed to -1600. Damn, I was gonna be rich like a b!tch..

    It seems like you have been around for a while but not near long enough if you tried this... If you see a line that is obviously off let it go and don't take it because the book can and likely will cancel it... You could have a dispute on your hands where you know you are wrong but will act like you are right to get the money...

    Play honest and don't get cute...

      careful with those bad lines

      better to call them and report it and ask for a freeplay

        Yeah, I knew the book would have cancelled it if it went through but I said "What the heck, it was worth a try".. Maybe in one instance, the book would have not caught it and paid out the money to me. You never know what could have happened.

            reported a bad line yesterday and even got a freeplay for that.
            still dont get it why people try to take shots at books ,
            you really think they won't cancel the wager?

              I once had a CBB line that was 118, and the book listed 181, I bet it and won, the never said a word.

                I once got a hockey line at +120, when all other books had it at -120. Right after my bet they changed it to -120. It ended up pushing at 6 goals so no difference
