This gets into a dispute I have with a local. A ML was posted and because of timing and some reports I had seen, I thought a pitcher might not go. I liked the pitcher I was getting anyway and I loved the price, so I locked my guy must start (clicked him) and the other guy no must start (didn't click his must start box), which is then called action. I max bet it.
So, sure enough, the opposing pitcher scratches and I'm sitting on my nice ML, of course not knowing for sure who would fill, but not worried as I thought anyone else was fine at that price too for the opposing team. My team wins the game and when they grade it as a win, they use the new (later) money line with the new pitcher for the other team, which was approximately 40 points lower than my locked ML. The grading even states my original ML play and then has some BS underneath in italics with "new line" this pitcher vs. that pitcher, etc.
I call an agent and ask. I'm not following any argument how this is in any way legit, because if I can't do this, why would they ever offer "must start" or action in the first place? I'm hearing all this nonsense on the other side of "but if a new guy pitches, blah blah blah, the ML changes" which makes absolutely zero sense, if that were the case they'd call off all action unless the two guys listed at the time bet pitched --- which would obviate the need for ever clicking on the "must start" option.
Honestly, I can't think of anything more clearly obvious yet I'm still hearing excuses. I find the whole thing odd, just wondering if anyone has heard of this or can give any input. It also raised the question of why this option exists in the first place, of course given my info my whole angle was taking advantage of it. Thanks,
