        it's my fault they're slow to get the game off the board, and accept a bet while the games going

                              My Dad one time got the MNF game bet after HALFTIME. and they honored it. It was back at BOS and somebody didn't take it off the board.

                                  if indiana had the ball it was worth about a half point because indiana had the ball and got ball first in 2 of next 3 quarters

                                    I imagine they'll let that stand..2-0 start is not exactly the same as buying 2 points

                                      People talk about how this is actually a good thing for the bookie. People get screwed with things like this all the time IMO (especially online).

                                      3 things can happen:


                                      1. You win and get your money.
                                      2. You win and they decide after the fact that the bet is void.
                                      3. You lose and...well you lose.

                                      When you make a normal bet only 1 and 3 apply. The bookies aren't going to look back on a bet they lost and decide it doesn't count b/c you got it in a bit late. Not really worth the 2-0 advantage if you ask me...

                                        Very good point. A fair book should honor a bet like this - however a line that is still posted at half time - that gets into a gray area.

                                              They never cancel wagers that are only left up for a few seconds extra.

                                                        Yeah, i've had some bad losses as of late. Especially in the last 3 games i've happened to watch. Had Atlanta -5 over GS. Were up by 18 or 20 late in 3rd, lose by 4. Had Portland -1.5 up by 25 in 3rd end up losing. Had dallas -9.5 today. Up 18 with 2 mins left, game ends on 11-2 or 9-0 run or something and lose by half a point. Had 2 units on each game, not soo terrible but jesus. I watched all these games all the way through...so frustrating haha.

                                                            Sorry to hear that FSU. I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. I was able to live bet a play that was still on the board all the way up to halftime. The live bet was like 13 points better than taking a half point line in a CFB game. Come on, I had to take that bet as the team was already up big. Sure winner right?? Well you guessed it, I got back doored and lost big time. Boy did I feel suckered on that one. It was like the book set me up to hammer that play

                                                              oh well no worries, only a half unit. Coincidently it looks like it will be my only losing wager tonight
