    SBR Sportsbook Wager Canceled?

    So I was browsing the future lines at the beginning of the World Cup and saw something that I liked. Seemed to good to be true so I threw down a few BetPoints. I went in to my account and see that it was canceled. Anyone know why this would be? This was a future on Argentina playing Iran….

    LOL.. "Seemed to good to be true ".


    It's hard to resist betting wrong odds. After all when we look at a book that's just what we are looking for, the best odds. But it's a trap you need to avoid.

    Some books will "free-roll" anyone who bets an obviously bad line. Wait until after the event then cancel if it wins and keep your money if it loses.

    One big popular book around here will treat you like a criminal who has tried to steal cash from them if you bet a really off line or do it repeatedly.

    I think SBR will pay you points fro reporting any too good to be true lines instead of betting them.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Looked at about 1000 lines for something I thought good and "sure as shit" to good to be true…
    I guess there is a pretty big discrepency with -850 and -115

    They had that mistake for many days. They also had Ecuador at +400ish vs Honduras. I wrote them an email about it. Then they removed the bets. But it came back a few days later, with the same odds. I thought about betting it when they relisted it but I didnt.
