Like I said, what's to stop them from adding a zero to the dog sometimes, creating a rush, then calling it a mistake to the winners.

Online it's pointless, all bets get voided, but in a sportsbook, the losers are screwed. They aren't taking their ticket back up the counter for their money back unless the book offers it out loud before the game ends, somehow.

The books get a freeroll and even more incentive than the outright difficulty to not review some live tickets before hand.
that's not necessarily true. i saw a complaint here about the trump/putin meeting prop where they voided most of the props saying the event didnt take place (where they obviously lost since the line skyrocketed from the opener) but they didnt void the handshaking prop for the same meeting. who knows what bets actually get voided unless ppl complain. maybe they dont void certain lines when they profit off them that they would void if they lost.
