TheGreek cancels my bet after the start time!

GL today.

Thanks! Better days will come again for sure. Good luck for you too

anyway it is a disadvantage for the bettor compared to the books that he can never cancel a bet if he did any mistake, the bookmaker can.

That´s because you only see your point of view.
Mistakes happen, and that is your risk if you bet such lines.
Iam sure on major sports bets get cancelled before the game, but who can blame them to look into table tennis after the game started. IF they cancel it before the game, they encourage bad line hunters to bet into it again and again - why would they want that.

Iam all against cancelled bets after the game started, but this case is simply different to a NBA or soccer bet or something...
and you know that.

Maybe you are right that they don't look often enough on the money movement on their table tennis bets (for example it also lasts days sometimes until they grade them). Table tennis at TheGreek is rather new. Other books offer it since a longer time. But on the other hand I think if TheGreek decides to offer table tennis even if it is not one of their major sports, then they also should take responsibility for it - if they can't they should better not offer it at all. But that's just my opinion, in this case I don't insist to be right.

Thats true, and the other side of the story.
But the bottom line is if they do, and maybe it makes some table tennis fans happy, you shouldnt expect save arbs when betting this stuff. Posting this with the intention to bad mouth them after happily using the greek for years (i guess?) doesnt make you any better, sorry but thats my opinion.

TheGreek is a good book, I used them happily as you said and I just think they didn't act correctly this time and therefore try to get some of my winnings back. That's all.

If there is an obvious error in the line then they can cancel it but not after the event has begun.

Cancelling a bet after the event has begun is cheating by the sportsbook is unacceptable, and the victim should fight it.

It seems to be the norm for majority of western sportsbooks.
Have been tolerating this cancelling culture in exchange for square books...
Guess it depends on whether you need them relatively more than they need you.
Anyway,I do hope your case is a successful one.

Yes, I admit I need them more than they need me, but stubborn as I am I withdrew all my money for now. Anyway it is too risky for me to bet there anymore as they clearly stated that they consider it to be alright to cancel bets even after start time:

"And again there is nothing that can be done at this point. The wager was cancelled because of a bad line which was put up. Anytime that happens and we discover it, regardless if the match or game has started, will be cancelled.

Having successfully used IBAS on a similar thing,snooker world champ.I took a price on one player the bookmaker voided the bet,the winning side.No contact at all,no phone call or email.They swore blind that they had sent email saying the bet was to be voided.Used IBAS and won.Give them a go you have nothing to lose.
