I meant to play sixers ml and I find out that after the game I lost my bet cuz apparently I took indiana by accident... Fortunately it was only $25 but it turned a winning day into a losing day...

Has anyone ever made this mistake too??

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Yes, I am sure it has happened to all of us. Sucks when it happens. Unless you accidentally win the bet.

One time I bet $500 on the wrong team...called Sportsbook.com and begged untill some guy changed my bet to what I had intended. Thank God...cause I won!

Ya cuz you caught it beforehand... I found out after. Begging won't work here lol

I normally bet $100 a game . Last month i accidentally put $1000 on the lakers to beat houston . I lost by .5

[DR225]

A couple weeks ago I tried hedging a $350 bet with a $400 bet and let's just say I was quite surprised to be down $750 after that game.

Happened many a time, especially with over and unders and especially when drunk. Just yesterday I had a 2U bet where I thought I was on the under, cheered it home the whole game, feeling good, checked my sportsbook and saw a loss. Was like, WTF??? And then realised I'd made the wrong bet.

[Ice House]

yes and the books don't give a ****. It sucks man

Yep this happened to me too. Wasn't drunk so I think that makes it that much worse. I bet under on a game and kept rooting for the under to hit all game. When the under hit I went to check my account and saw a loss. Checked the detail and saw that I actually clicked the over button. Not a happy camper after that.

[Flexin]

I know of at least one time I did that.

Tonight I bet on the Lakers with points but forgot to confirm it and forgot to bet cash on it.

i probably have done this like 10 or 15 times...yes, i ain't scared to admit it. if you're making plays outta more than one book with different layouts and trying to get shit in before tip it's easier to do than it seems. and only like 3 times has it worked in my favor. one time i called to change a halftime bet and they finally did, and the motherfvcker never had a chance in hell of hitting (ie shoulda held onto the bet i didn't intend to make). i'm very very careful now and it hasn't happened to me in a long time.

if losing is bad, waiting on your balance to update then checking your history and seeing you bet the wrong side is 1,000,000 times worse.

yeah, i hear that. drinking is the root of most of my misplaced bets as well.

[Whippit]

take a break from betting the wrong team on purpose

[JOHON8]

Get a habit of double checking lines before you punch them in, I learned that the hard way.

[SBRMAN23]

Yes or took the under but meant to take over not coop

[ShogunRua]

It's happened to me once. I called the book and got the mistake reversed. The bet then lost badly.

[woodyman]

took under rather than over, would have won

[horja1]

It happened to me to bet "draw" instead of "over 2,5 goals" (at Pinnacle) - it was a soccer game (don't remember the teams ... I saw my mistake when the game was already halfway ... but it ended 1-1, so I won

[Steamed]

Hah today I had bucks 1Q for 2 units. Saw I accidentally bet 1H and went back and added the original 1Q bet as well. For whatever nutty reason (made a lot of bets today) I was sweating pacers 1Q and 1H. Pacers did not cover. I however, did.

Yep, way to go. You have to learn the hard way sometimes though.

[branrave]

Did it a couple of times and every single time, lost it! sucks..

[Grosshhit]

i was blacked out drunk one night, dont know why but i bet on the college hockey championship which was still a week away and i put 1000 on the game and didnt know shit about it either teams. i was stressed all week, tried calling the sportsbook but they laughed in my face. said **** it ill see what happens. won the game.... i should proly do that more often

[sharlataans]

5dimes made me think I mixed up OVER with UNDER. Even though I did not. I am not their customer anymore.

[NBA_Brosuf]

I place bet for the previous lakers game to be over 185.5. I posted online as under in my thread and on another thread, I said over.

I went back and re-edit my mistake before the game even started. Phew...sometime I say I'm rolling with someone's bet just to make them happy but in reality, I bet against them.

[dude_bg]

lol, so i guess no one has had my case when i clicked on the above row on the page and bet on a wrong matchup,

[madrabbit]

back in 2006 I had a crud soccer team in there by mistake. Cost me making 400 and I lost 400. In 2009 I had arsenal to win in the soccer or so I seemed but i had them to win 1-0. In 2009 I tried to cancel a 3400 bet on the lakers to win the nba just out of stress not that I thought they wouldnt. They wouldnt let me cancel luckily
