Why would he wait to post this until what he "sincerely" wanted won?

In case what he "sincerely" wanted lost, then nothing...

It is just not worth it to bet a bad line. Nothing good can possibly happen. They will catch it every time. You are lucky they did not boot you out and confiscate all of your money! Books get super crabby with this kind of thing.

Might want to destroy those pics just to save your ass in case you even mentioned to them you have pics of blatantly taking shots

Remember the last guy who did this? His excuse was...."I didn't have my glasses on" Only bad lines on the entire board he didn't have his glasses on for...

Any honorable book will reward action on any line they put out. The offshores are notorious for never doing this however. If a player hits the wrong button, takes a bet they don't want to make, the books never let them get out of it. It's locked.

But if a book puts out a wrong line, they will usually wait to see if it bites them and then cancel all action. I hate this but there's nothing you can do about it.

If a business gives you back more change than they owe you, then it's the cashiers fault and they eat that loss. Cost of doing business. But off shores believe they are above that.

I agree on some cases plaza but this guy not only bet Into a bad line he took pictures knowing he was doing it come on.

at people sticking up for the books here as Plaza said it once you lock your bet in thats final can't change it or cancel it It's the BOOKS responsibility to make sure the lines right not ours if they put out a wrong line for 3 minutes then the people that got the line in those 3 minutes it should still be honored but we no its costa rica and they do what they want cause if they tell you no aint shit your gonna do about it anyway.

people throw out the term "bad line" a lot where do you draw the line

i get if its +6 to -6 obvious mistake but ive seen people saying you are "taking shots" when its way less

people defending books smh

I love it when posters tell us they wagered a bad line.... then they get all excited like.... hey... THIS IS SO COOL... if i win!

But guess what? You won't.

pilebuck13 · 11-26-17, 02:17 AM

I defend the books to a certain extent I guess idk if I bet a line and I win I get paid. If the lines bad then your taking a shot not much more to it.

funnyb25 · 11-26-17, 02:25 AM

Many times there is a line that is off on 1 of 300 games where it should be +120 and not -120. That would be an honest mistake. This was an obvious shot taker....

BOL

pilebuck13 · 11-26-17, 02:27 AM

I can understand a live line maybe you just seen it and grabbed it. But this is lol

It happens once a week now. I don't know what is more stupid. Betting a line that is obviously bad, thinking it is going to turn out well, or the fact that these clowns actually post it on an open forum that is being sponsored by the book they are making the wager. What could possibly go wrong.

ppl actually defending books on bad line cancelations lol. do you also think poker players should get a do over on misclicks? if you screw up you should pay the price.
