I just placed a $500 live bet by mistake

[phillyhata1]

Oh nice. you're taking the high minded approach that most bums that work cookie cutter jobs take. Just because I don't sit in traffic for two hours every morning to make an arbitrary $800-$1200 like the majority of this sad repressed country doesn't make me a "loser." Some people actually don't have jobs, they have businesses. But it seems like your pre disposed notion of me and the rest of this forum has ruined any chance of saving this thread (which is odd in its own respect considering you're crying to us but think we're losers at the same time, odd) so ill just say I hope you win back the money some how, or get a new phone that has a decent keyboard to make sure this doesn't happen again. Cheers.

Your use of a dicksionary makes you sound very inteljent. I wish you luck with your imajinary bisness

Have fun selling years of your life away for $60k a year and then bragging about it to people who have had the balls to live poor for a few years for long term success.

I have had a couple massive misclicks in online poker back in the day, nothing you can do.

But a couple good points made here in the thread - don’t email cuz then the book can freroll you, and bet the other side asap to just eat the juice.

[ans61201]

I have had it happen-the only solution is to bet the other side as fast as possible and eat the loss. It is very important to have enough funds in that account or other ones for backup. Otherwise, it is too dangerous to be in the live betting business.

Probably best advice.
I bet live more than I do pre game so of course misclicks have happened.

You may have free rolled yourself, the book might’ve refunded your win and taken your loss lol

a few years back i made a live bet on oddsmaker. when i went back on the site an hour later i noticed my balance was missing about $5k. somehow about 15 bets were placed on random games for the max amount allowed. 3 of those bets were placed with a time stamp w/a 1 second difference from 3 other of the random bets. by the time i noticed these bets, the games were over. i think i lost about 12 of those bets. i remember like 5 bets were on the Marlins to win @ -500ish....they ended up losing. oddsmaker claimed i made these bet willingly. when i pointed out those time stamps of 1 second difference, they agreed to refund those 3 bets. but they still tried to claim i made those bets, even though that was physically impossible. they have since upgraded their software.

Huge thank u and props to heritage. They reviewed my acct and since I’ve never done this before and the bet size was so much larger thank my average bet they credited me the money back.

They totally did not have to do this as it was my mistake

Said it before say it again
Best book hands down

That’s unreal. Congrats. Surprised they did it opens them up to freeroll shots but congrats on getting your $ back in the situation. That’s a 1/100 score.

[TheMetsSuck]

ive done this on heritage and immediately got on the phone with wagering department. The problem is that the live wagering is outsourced and they don't control it meaning they couldn't do anything for me. You must lose a ton to heritage for them to gift you this one. Make it count.....

Nice!

Egg on a lot of faces in here.

I feel your pain, in a sideways sort of way, glad you got your back.

Here in NJ, I've mostly used DraftKings since I started. And I won a lot quickly, then started getting greedy.

I had a lot on Memphis live-bet when they lost to Phoenix in the last second or so. When Phoenix's odds became perfect for the hedge/small win flip, at +1600, I hopped. Got a communication error. Then my $100 bet said can't do it, only partial approved (NO IDEA how much the partial would be without going into a different screen, doing more work etc etc).. tried again, at +1500, as it was dropping fast. Same deal. Tried going into partial, odds were now below +1000, communication error. WTF. Never got out, as Phoenix rallied quickly, and this BS took a lot longer than it should have.

Since that app updated recently, I've tried getting in on multiple live bets for a good flip opportunity, and have gotten numerous network errors, communication errors, and they never go through... and like before, by the time I close it, re-open, etc, the window is long closed. I sent two emails last week about this, and expected a response (not action, just a tough shit reply), but have gotten nothing.
Already opened a new account on another service and will withdraw from DK shortly. Unacceptable overall, though several losing anger bets since then have been all my fault.

Again, glad yours worked out.

WOW......that's shocking! Might need to give Heritage a shot now! That's a standup decision, any book I'd ever played at never would have done this for me. Glad you got your money back.....Im just shocked.

Boss that can't pony up the $100 to go pro. God forbid you support the website you use to cry to a bunch of "losers" about a $450 that you're going to lose anyway.

Not surprised at all. Sportsbooks are businesses and they put the customer first. If something makes sense you have to consider it at least. As someone who's run a business before in the past, customer service always comes first. If you're betting $50 a game for a year and never anything more and suddenly you put 500 on a live bet, that's most likely a mistake, especially if you message them seconds later.

Lot of people here don't understand how businesses run because most of these guys don't actually work. They think they're going to get rich gambling. Smh.

What is your obsession with going "pro"? You know how many guys on this site make 250k+ per year and aren't "pros"?

You said you have your own business right? Or are working towards it?

Let me tell you the number 1 thing I learned while running a business, and it applies to a lot of things in life.

Never assume anything. It is okay to presume, but the moment you assume something, you're dead.

Always working towards it. You're taking what I meant out of context. Was not being condescending toward his monetary situation (none of which is my business). Was making a point as well as an observation that he comes in here gloating after making a dumb mistake and then insults the members that he's asking advice from. Only thing I've assumed here is that the OP is a complete asshole. An assumption I won't back up from.

Care to wager on that, Chief?

[danshan11]

OP is crazy coming here and starting this thread, should have titled it "will someone just call me a dumbass, please, and repeatedly if possible"

I feel his pain and gambling is RECREATIONAL folks dont take it so serious or put the kids college fund on it, you will lose the juice and if you wont lose the juice you dont really have money problems to begin with unless you got a serious drug problem like pookie!

[danshan11]

I think it is brutally hard to make 250k a year strictly betting
1 finding enough outs to carry the action required $25,000,000 in bets with a 1% edge
2 having that kind of cash to put into a bankroll
3 shit probably payroll to actually physically get that many games bet and covered
4 and banging all the bitches with private jet takes up lots of betting time( sorry just a troll Tout joke)

I assumed JJ meant earned wages, didn't take it as strictly betting

I would agree 100% nobody here consistently makes $250,000 betting
