Lets just say I find a VERY juicy edge... So juicy that it's probably an error.
So I talk to their line management team and they assure me the line is correct.
I pound the f'ing shit out of it.
They void it 20 minutes later.

They had a kicker in tonight's football game at 8.5 tackles so I pounded the under for the max (after asking them if the line was correct). They voided it 20 mins later like chumps.

That sucks, I'd raise hell with 'em. Likely nothing will come out of it, but maybe they'll throw a free-be of some kind your way.

Oh, different story then. And if they are dumb enough to put lines like that up, that they might miss voiding sometime, definitely don't want to lose your account there. Originally Posted by dj_destroyer

I've realized it's not even worth it... One time they had the odds for a -1.5 baseball RL posted on a +1.5 so I pounded it while taking the other side at Pinny. Midway through the game, SIA voided their side of the arb leaving me heavily exposed. Luckily, the bet at Pinny won so it worked out all around but still, SIA very shady with voiding practices.

That is what happens when you know you are betting a bad line. I would just stay away from them altogether.

I did contact and double check though... which is why I'm a bit annoyed. But yes, I know what I'm getting myself into. Originally Posted by CanuckG

And as for customer support saying they're the correct lines, of course they don't know if something is a bad lien or not. They don't set the lines, they're not the oddsmakers. If a line is posted, they have to think it's correct no matter what.Last edited by Luca Fury; 10-26-12 at 12:53 AM.

guys who knowingly bet bad lines deserve whatever happens to them(lose or have wins voided)...bad lines come from human error and even books deserve a pass when they occur... they dont deserve to have anyone taking cheap shots at them...

I'm sorry have wholeheartedly disagree---if they post a team at +1.5 when it should be -1.5 they have till game time to catch it once the game starts with the listed pitchers they live with the result.Cancelling an accepted wager after the game starts is bush league. Originally Posted by raydog

Let's say you make a bet at a sportsbook and 20 minutes later realize you accidentally clicked the Under instead of the Over. You message the sportsbook telling them this and ask if they can chance the bet to Over. Well guess what, the line has slightly changed favoring the Over now so they tell you to fukk off (nicely).
Your logic is the book should hold the bet and then void it if/when they want too. So the game finished and everyone who bet the 'bad' line ended up losing so they keep the money. Or the bad line ended up winning so they cancel it.

Another point, let's look at SBR sportsbook.
If you find a 'bad' line you have 2 options:
1. Try to exploit it
2. Report it and receive a free play
What do you think the best option is? You know that if you don't report it someone else will and reap the rewards. This is excellent customer service and everyone comes away winning.

It's more like you found the grill mispriced and asked the high school kid working there if the price is right and he says hell ya. Then you get to the checkout (game starting would be symbolic of being in the parking lot with it) and the lady at the register tells you no, that's not really selling at 2000% markdown.

To your other point about betting a bad line and losing the bet without a refund, your bet would not lose. That was beyond a bad line... that was free money. It's like betting the under on how many strikeouts David Ortiz will pitch. But, if it was a bad line on a real wager, and it won, the book should reprice it at the correct odds. So ya, to some extent you give the book a shot at you when you play a bad line. The onus is on gamblers to know when a wager offer is 28 pts off.

If you don't want to get limited at SIA very quick don't pound them on anything other than major game lines.

I was referring to raydog who said "guys who knowingly bet bad lines deserve whatever happens to them(lose or have wins voided)" Originally Posted by CanuckG

what did you expect to happen, they would of caught the error eventually even if it would of been graded a win initially they woulda change it to a loss.
if you would of let them know, hey you got the wrong mofo up he is a kicker. they would be like oh, okay. i will forward the message to the manager. thank you. next day you find a free bet in your account
