Miami/Clippers over 150.5 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**IWinMyBets** · 03-10-10, 12:01 PM

Clippers are overdue for a decent showing. I'm looking to see them "Cover" the spread in Miami. But the over 150 would have been a shoe-in. I think if we see a little shot making by the Clippers, the over 188 might still be worth a small play.

Apparently some bookies have been known to cancel bets on incorrect lines ONLY if you win, keeping your money if you still lose. So yeah, typically a good idea to stay away from them.

didnt miami only score like 70-something points last night

This isn't surprising news. These things happen and if you read the ToS, they have every right to cancel the bet.

I was checking the lines for the games in tonight(morning her in Aus) and saw 150.5 for the over @3.35...its actually 3.35am as im writing this too...scary haha, anyway so i see that and put $300 on it and then call 2 friends and tell them to get on, get back on and put another $500 on it

.
Only problem is 5 minutes later bet is cancelled

.....****ers.
Oh well just thought id post and let you guys know.
Feel free to post any similar stories.....and your bets for today

cheers

Im with ya on that one Nocode

Ive been with centrebet for a long time and had $600 on that little mistake of theres only to have the bet cancelled. If the game had of started then they have no choice but to honour the bet.
I bet with sportingbet as well and 2 years ago they had the betting for an NBA game still up in the last qtr, I got on and my mate as well then betting was taken off but they paid in full

Finally a win for the punter.

The betting agency i got here in Aus pay you. it happen last time when Dallas was playing Hornets
they make a mistake and give the line at -2.5 instead of 8.5

Hey there kouten, I'd also like to who that betting agency is as I bet with 3 different agents for various codes? Nice win by the way

Not NBA but I've got a strange story betting Cricket with centrebet

2008/2009 summer Australia were playing NZ in a test match. 2nd Innings and Centrebet were offering various player specials. One of them was Ponting v Hussey high score. Ponting was $1.8 and Hussey $2. So I took Ponting. At lunch Ponting was 50 Not out and Hussey yet to bat. For some reason Centrebet still had the bet up so I loaded up on it big time. A few balls after lunch and Ponting is out for 53. Hussey comes in and is batting really slowly but he is getting closer and closer to the score. He's 45 off 90 balls and I am starting to get worried. So what does Ponting do, declares of course. He must have had money on himself

Bloody Centrebet marked the bets as a losers. It didn't make sense Ponting top scored, at the very least I should get my money back. Two days later, I login and my account has lots of money in it. Centrebet had reversed the loss and marked the bets as winners.

Nice.....i reckon once you've booked it the money should be yours...its their mistake not yours

Hey mate, i've had similar instances on Centrebet. Mainly with the NHL though and in the early days (late last year) I've won a few grand off it. However, they have cottoned on big time and now just cancel and refund bets if they find they have screwed up. Was great whilst it lasted though!

**OzFL** · 03-13-10, 10:06 PM

Centrebet were just offering New york +12 in the second half and the second half had already started with new york up 4-2. They usually won't let Australians take live in play bets either but they took my money. Hope they pay out.
