    Site calling it a line error, how do you know what correct line should have been?

    I was live betting on NHL last week on Thursday, and won the bets. Now on Monday, I get notified that my bets were an "obvious" line error, and they are being voided. I'd assume if it was "obvious", it would not take this long to void them. Nevertheless, I was watching the game, and looking at lines across various sites, and I'm very sure these were not line errors. I'm not dumb enough to put money down on a line error. Is there some neutral source that I can check to see what the actual lines should have been at a certain point in a game?

    I’m not sure for live betting, that could be tough especially with nhl.

    Should prob be able to get a rough idea if you know the scores and times in game when you made bet along w closing line.

    I do know the score. The score was the same throughout all my bets.

    I guess my question is that is there any 3rd party source or neutral party to find out what the average line was at a certain point in a match?

    Time in Game would be crucial and closing line as well. I’ve never really live bet nhl but assuming it just a formula used. One the score sites always show teams % chance of winning during the game, id assume the line line would be close to following that formula?

    All my wagers have time stamps, so I'm sure I could backtrack and figure out time in game.

    That's exactly my point. Had it been an "obvious" line error, it would have immediately been cancelled, or voided the same day. but 5 days later? that's a joke. I want to try to prove from my end it was a legitimate line

    They never do that, reason gotta be careful about betting bad lines cause you just letting them take a shot at you. Not saying you were, it just sucks cause they do pretty much what they want then label you a shot taker when you complain. lol

    Ignore SBR's odds for Bet365. All the historical lines for Bet365 are wrong and have been for at least 10 Weeks. Intertops lines have also been 'erratic' for several weeks and SportsInteractive lines crashed within the last 2 weeks. SBR have been told about the issues but they haven't resolved them. By all means use lines from another book such as Pinnacle or 5Dimes.

    If you make a mistake at most books and bet the wrong team or incude an extra 0 in the wager amount, too fukkin bad


    If they make a line mistake, oops sorry about that. CANCELED (usually after the outcome and you win)

    Five days later is a bit out of line without a very good explanation.

    At very least it should be a regrade at correct odds if it happens after the result is known.

    But think about this

    It's not the customer's job keep the lines straight.

    Players just bet what is offered to them.

    Do you know what most stores do when they post the wrong price/sticker on something?

    They sell it to you for that lesser price because it was THEIR mistake.

    If you and I make wager, and I give you +10 points, but the line was actually +7, and you win, do you want to hear me giving you excuses if you win???

    I've always said this and will always stand by it.

    When you submit a wager and the system accepts it, that is the equivelant of a handshake between two bettors in person.

    You don't go back on that... Period

    With live 100%.......I am man enough to admit when humans are involved in inputting #'s, mistakes can happen.....ive seen MMA lines posted at +1100 when they are obviously +110 at every other site.....that's an error that with time, can be corrected with no harm done......LIVE is a different animal......

    looks like they wont be honouring it.. sometimes they do, sometimes not. but the customers wont be banned from the shop!

    I think they should be allowed to change a price to fair market price, but to ban you or call you a shot taker is unfair.
    however many times you do it.
    where i draw the line is past posting, no excuses for that.

    Hello all, I would like to ask for an advice. Yesterday I have placed a bet on Chinese basketball league. Sichuan - Guangdong I took Guangdong ML for +235. I have checked at oddsportal and around 10 bookies had the same or very similar odds. Guangdong has won, but now i see my bet has been voided...

    here is the quot from their rules about voiding bets. "The company waves all responsibility on the erroneous coefficient indicated in the program as a result of mistakes made by its staff or due to software error, which does not correspond to the coefficients available on the bookmakers’ market for such position."

    Have you inquired with them as to why it has been voided?
