    Betting Bad Lines?

    If a book hangs a bad line live should the wager count?

    The books have all the power when it comes to stuff like this. Usually they state somewhere in their terms of use that they reserve the right to cancel any bet at any time. Could probably get away with throwing $50 on bad line here and there.

    Should it count? Probably not. The error is probably on the software / logistical side of things rather than an actual handicapping error.

    I use HR for live MLB betting. The bad line was a hung at a book that I will not disclose. Think Frosted Flakes. Not sure which is the best one.

    Betting bad lines is stupid.

    if you win the bet it gets cancelled.

    if you lose the bet they can take your money.
