    They had the first half under 21.5 for tonight at +120...Fixed now, at -140

    Problem is I did play it at +120. Guess I should get that cancelled before gametime, cause Ill be pissed when it hits and they cancel it.

    Yea, never play a bad line there will always be cancelled. I bet a formula 1 car at 200-1 and it won, but they didnt honor it and didnt even pay me the 8-1 that they said he should have been when it won. I made the argument that that was the only line available and the race was starting soon so what was I supposed to do.

    They usually will void it if it wins, let it stand if it loses. That is their policy.

    dont bet bad lines. if you lose they will take your money. if you win they will not pay you. policies vary from book to book. don't bet bad lines. books don't penetrate around.

    yea that sux,,i prob would and just take right line,,,if not huge bet maybe it slips by but prob lot safer to let them know rather than think yo have a winner just to have it cancelled...

    If you win, and they cash you the funds...Play the funds ASAP. If you win a wager with those funds you keep the winnings but they take back the wager amount.

    Last season my book was offering Miami Heat Boston Celtics O/U 200 in one of the playoff games. I took the under, and it then moved to 197.5 and 194. I took it for 5 units and they cancelled it pre-game.

    It closed at 178, and needless to say my under would have hit. I sent an angry email and argued their "bad line" claim, and showed them stats that in the last 4 games between the teams, the total went over 200 twice.

    Also, they claimed the line was bad yet moved it to 197.5 and 194. If 200 was way off why move it twice? They should have withdrawn the line and moved it to 180 straight away.

    Anyway, they paid me what I would have won, and since they cancelled it pre-game my money was never at risk. In the 2 day period of me calling them and complaining before I was paid out, I threatened to withdraw my acct and move to another book, and they gave me 3 x $75 free bets also.

    Obviously depends on your book, but not all of them will royally screw you, and if they try to you just gotta threaten to leave them.
