    They fixed it now but you would think they'd throw me a free play or something.
    Nothing, yeesh.

    Take a look at the San Antonio/Dallas game.
    The total is 226.5
    Dallas is -6.5 favorite.

    If Dallas is -6.5 and the game total is 226.5 then the team total for the Mavs should be 116.5 NOT 106.5 earlier posted. If SAS team total is 110, then Dallas team total should be 116.5

    Like I said they fixed it and it's correct now.
    Original screenshot below.

              Ask for supervisor 'Matt' and ask if he will throw you a bone.

                    It's not a big deal.

                    Reason why I caught it was because I look at positional analytics and see if there's mismatches.

                    For instance Sacramento matches up well tonight against Minnesota (especially the two guards Hield and Fox their PG no matter who Minnesota puts on him) so I was looking at Sac's team total (113.5)

                    This is what I do, yeah I know I'm a numbers geek.

                            Just bet it next time, they should honor the line

                            It would tie-up all your $ and you’d have to wait mad long though

                              Lmfao: “honor the line”, what kind of fantasy world you live in? Let me tell you what happens 9 out of 10 times. If you win you don’t get paid and 50/50 they boot you for being a shot taker, if you lose they happily keep your money like nothing happened. So yea, you go ahead and bet into bad lines and see where it gets you.

                                    Well this is why the 'bad line' rule is a joke.

                                    Post a line, your customers play it, them it's your responsibility to pay up.

                                    It's not the players's responsibility to make sure the correct lines are up.

                                      Okay, well in my experience (this happened over Thanksgiving) the Borgata left the FSU vs Tennessee line up as the original line (FSU -2 I believe) for the first 10 mins of the game when it was truest 12-2 FSU. I unloaded on FSU and bet Tennessee live on another book. They didn’t pay me until I called later that night but they paid me out everything

                                      It’s the books problem

                                        I’ve done it my entire life. At the end of the day I would just find a new book and they know that and pay out

                                              Offshore doesn't adhere to the same rules. They cancel "bad lines" bets all the time. Banker's right, best case they cancel your bet, no harm no foul. Worse case they free roll you (bet loses, never hear from them) or they bounce you as a shot taker.

                                                That sucks think pretty much all books in aus pay out on bad lines, pounded 9ers +8.5 when they were going to tie think was Seattle got paid out then in nbl bet I think Perth were getting smashed at ht meant to bet +18.5 but wasn't looking properly and got -18.5 when they were already losing by 20+pts this guy I know was laughing as he was Pounding the other team +18.5 ashole could of said something, I was gutted but thought probably karma for me winning last time on bad line so I scanned the ticket next day and I got money back, asked the guy if he got paid out and he did, was angry at myself for not paying attention when betting so already conceded my money was gone so to get money back was very happy

Banker's right, best case they cancel your bet, no harm no foul. Worse case they free roll you (bet loses, never hear from them) or they bounce you as a shot taker.

                                                      Yea you’re right — there’s no such thing as human error in bookmaking. I should just be a Good Samaritan

                                                      Also I’m talking more in terms of lines that get stuck or misprints that happen ever now and then with live betting.

                                                            Yeah, Australian books pretty much always pay out on errors. But they do not have to, they can cancel errors under their NT licenses.

                                                            But they will limit you to peanuts afterward a lot of the time too.

                                                                It seems like a cheap way to pay for live QA to me too.

                                                                I can only assume books stopped doing it as it created too much CS work with people trying to claim freeplays for non-errors and stuff like that.

Insane. Limit the guy who goes all in pretty much every damn play. It is the only book I ever cashed out at though. And they must have seen that if I have no limits, then eventually I’m gonna hit them big. Oh well. Bookmaker it is.
