    question with local whos right

    so last night i took alabama -17 vs. mississippi st risk 220 to win 200


    i texted him that he says okay..


    no big deal it pushes...


    today he texts me back and is like yo sorry bro the bama line was actually minus 19... but i'll just make you owe me an extra 100..




    why should i owe him another 100 when it pushed, its not my fault he sent out that line in the morning and it changed

    i would tell him that if the line was actually 19 then you meant to take miss st. so actually you won and he owes you the money.

    ya...hes supposed to abide by the line he gave you when u sent it in.....if he ****** up...he ****** up....his fault....if bama had won by 18 he should pay you and vice versa....

    my guy is pretty sharp...but there have been times hes accidentally added money to what hes owed me...dunno if he got my account confused with someone elses...or graded a play or two wrong....but those are the breaks

    Texting? Why would you want to leave evidence out there? Just because you erase it doesn't mean it's gone.
