    Lakers +433 Moneyline

    Caught a weird glitch on my book where lakers were +433 on the moneyline for a quick 15 seconds or so

    Risked 200 to win 866.

    My question now is will book reverse this bet if I win and once they notice or is this a mistake on their part and will they honor the bet

    They should probably just kick you out for shot taking. You can forget any concept of "honoring" the bet and feel lucky if they let you bet there anymore.

    Seriously. Shot taking is frowned upon in a pretty big way.

    Whoa. You might want to call them and tell them you didn't know the rules

    You are far better off calling the book and letting them know there is a bad line, they might even give you credit or a free play, than you are by actually betting into the bad line.

    If the Lakers win, they'll void it. If they lose, they'll take your money.

    The rule should be, if they put up a line and someone snags that bitch, then you fukkin honor it.

    If you lose the bet will you call them to correct it, even though you took a shot at them big-time ?

    Why even bother? No way this will stand and you’re risking being either free rolled or booted.

    But who put the line up?

    They did

    If I make bet with you guys on a game, and I give you +10, but the line was only +5, who's fault is it?

    Mine

    Later after the fact should i tell you I'm not paying you cauz I gave you the wrong line??


    I'm sorry fellas that's the way I've always felt about 'bad lines'

    It's the books responsibly to put the right lines up.

    Not the players who just play them.

    Do you know what many stores do if they mark something, for example, $10, but it is actually supposed to be $30??

    They honor it and sell it to you for that price.

    Just fun debate

    This feels like another thread to mush the Lakers Moneyline play

    And that's why there should be no such thing as a bad line

    You put something up/offer it.....you should eat it regardless

    Seems like I've dealt with this topic so many times of the years.

    I am old school, I think bets taken should be honored.

    That said, I think shot takers, like the OP, should be banned.

    That's all I'm going to say on the issue.

    Kinda how I feel

    Just because I feel a book should honor whatever they put up, doesn't mean I'm one that would try & take advantage of it

    Had this happen a few years back. They voided the bet and just said “bad line posted”... I actually called them to clarify and they gave me some free play.

    It's not a player's job to beta test a site.

    Also, I have lost plenty chasing when I shouldn't have or playing in the casino under the influence. Those are errors I made. No chance I get a no action though.

    Are shot takers choir boys? Of course not. It isn't like they're targeting St. Judes though.

    Ya I’ve added an extra 0 drunk so many times lol. In cases like where it’s so glaringly obvious of a bad line I have zero sympathy though. Must be new to the game

    The rules in Vegas are very clear all bets taken must be honored. Offshore they can obviously do what they want.

    I’ve always thought the book should honor the bet, but then kick you off the site after. If it’s somewhere you like to play just not worth it imho.

    Vegas would never do such a thing that's why. Crisp, clean, and crystals.
