    MLB ASG MVP question
    Bookmaker didn’t offer Elias Díaz as an MVP option. I took a screenshot of the odds. Shouldn’t they refund anyone who made a bet on MVP. They didn’t offer an “Any other player” option either.

    Not a bad idea. Having looked at a TON of future odds over time, I can say that "Field" bet is always a line I notice.

    "Field" is usually the last line offered. So, "Field" constitutes players not listed.

    I actually think you have an argument here. If they took $2000 in gross bets...they paid out $0.
    Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

          Yeah it wasn’t even a big bet. But it’s the principal. I hit them up on live chat and they claimed they had a “field” option. I told them I had screenshots and they asked for them. So they told me to come back in 30-60 mins.

            Legal but very shady, very close to the book taking a shot.

              Yeah they claimed they offered a “Field” option at +1822. I showed them the screenshots but they stuck to their story. Surprising, Bookmaker is usually pretty good.

                Strange, Mega. How many players were in the FIELD? 20 guys?

                Easy to say now. That FIELD bet might have been value. Pretty random in a one-off event when MOST of the roster will play.

                  If they offered it as an "All In" market then they don't need a field option.

                  I haven't checked the terms, but look under Props and see if they talk about all-in when defining them.

                  Sounds like you are talking to someone who doesn't know enough to know if their answer is correct, and they are asking someone who is just guessing. Although quoting +1822 odds at you is a head scratcher if there was NEVER any field option listed. So maybe they actually added Field at some point.
                  .
