    A Winning Bet of Mine Was Voided With This Explanation. Do I Have A Case?
    I bet on a soccer game live bet when the score was 1-1 in the 35th minute. I bet Under 2.5 First Half. 2 Minutes after the bet the game disappeared off Bet365 and the bet was listed as unsettled for hours until I finally got this message. "We are contacting you regarding bet ID *********placed at odds of -250 on Under 2.5 (First Half Goals FC Kontu v LPS). We have identified that this fixture was listed incorrectly and as such, in accordance with our rules, the selection has been made void.

    Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    Kind regards,
    The bet365 Team

      What was your reasoning for the bet? In your experience did you feel it was linesmaker error?

        Not really, I just liked the odds with 10 minutes to go in the half and I didn't see another goal. The game was voided for everyone who bet it. The game finished 1-1. Other people were complaining too but I don't get their reasoning.

                        Karamiux you're jealous because I'm a hockey moderator and now I have power here


                        You're also mad I'm in Vegas and you're not

                        75° here today I was sitting in the park on a blanket basically Nude drinking a piña colada.

                        You're in Miami drinking out of a canteen hoping a fukken beam doesn't fall on you when you're sleeping at night

                        Fuk you

                              Sounds to me like the book owes you cash.

                                  I know books can void a wager whenever they want and we can't do anything about it.

                                    You can stop being a dumb ass! A bad line is a bad line idiot. No book is gonna honor a mistake, even if its their own. At least you got your $2 back! Now go buy a fuk'in hamburger, you hamburger!

                                          My apartment on south beach is pretty nice.. My rent is probably more then what you pay for your shithole year round .

                                          As far as drinking from a canteen.
                                          You drink Fireball whiskey like a Freshman Girl.

                                          And even today you were drinking Pina Coladas like the pecker blower you are.

                                          I on the other hand enjoy the finer things in life.

                                          The bottles in my home bar alone are worth half your current Vegas Bank Roll.

                                          Next time you come to Florida... And hopefully its not to fukk your cousins in Ocala.

                                          Come on down to Miami . I will take you out for a fun night with beautiful ladies. None of which will talk to you or even get near you. But at least you will get to see quality close up

                                          I will take you to clubs that would never let a broke dick like you in.

                                          And then when I am done.

                                          I will pound your face like the fukking veal that you are.

                                          Yeah really jealous you are in vegas.. its Feb ... You are there alone with Old Ladies and Crackheads.

                                          Pools are closed. Football is over.

                                          why the fukkk would I want to be in vegas?

                                            So can a soccer expert here explain if and why this was a bad line?

                                            And consider, if a goal had been scored -- would it have been a bad line?

                                            I don't know enough about soccer to say for sure, but perhaps they meant the number to be -350 or something. I don't know. But this doesn't seem to be the +12 instead of -12 deal. And not even a +250 instead of -250. Also, it was obviously very possible for the bet to lose. 1 goal and the bet loses.

                                            Maybe there's more than meets the eye. But the post-game void seems pretty specious.

                                                And consider, if a goal had been scored -- would it have been a bad line?

                                                I don't know enough about soccer to say for sure, but perhaps they meant the number to be -350 or something. I don't know. But this doesn't seem to be the +12 instead of -12 deal. And not even a +250 instead of -250. Also, it was obviously very possible for the bet to lose. 1 goal and the bet loses.

                                                Maybe there's more than meets the eye. But the post-game void seems pretty specious.
                                                It wasn't a bad line.

                                                "this fixture was listed incorrectly"

                                                We would have to know what was incorrect about the listing to have any opinion.

                                                But if Bet265 voided the entire market it would have been with a proper reason.

                                                  True. We're just speculating. It certainly doesn't seem obvious what was "incorrect" about it. But certainly that phrase doesn't innculate them from any responsibility. Surely they can't say it was "incorrect" because they meant to list -300 instead of -250. Anny line can be incorrect if that's the case.

                                                  Good point though....if seaweed hasn't already, he should write back to B365 to ask them to explain what exactly was incorrect about the listing.

                                                          Perhaps a fixed game? Look through oddsportal or a similar site and find a past scenario that lines up with yours, then check the odds to see if it's within the same ballpark.

                                                            They would not normally refer to a bad line as an incorrect listing. In my experience with them it would probably mean home and away teams shown the wrong way around or a spelling error or something like that.

                                                            Some smart type would have lost and complained about it later. Bet365 being a properly run book does not just pay the complainer. If there is a real error they void the entire market. They don't want to do that as it upsets lots of genuine bettors like Seaweed (apart from costing them turnover/profit). Which is why I said I was confident they had a proper reason.

The spelling error thing is interesting. So does that mean if a game is listed as Charlott Hornets v. Chicago Bulls that all bets would be cancelled after the fact because they missed the 'e' at the end of Charlotte?

                                                                      I think players get those canned responses partly to make it easy and to avoid needing a manager to sign off wording every time they have a void. And from dealing with complaint cases, letting CS operators send explanations to players creates even more player angst sometimes. Especially when it's something that seems irrelevant to that player, like a spelling error.
