    Book Palping wagers
    Just a question about something that may or may not become an issue.

    I have just placed a wager at a book where its odds were out of line with other books.
    Because I was unsure of the odds I phoned the bet through. I wagered sufficient amount for it to need approval of the trader.

    The bet was approved.

    As a result of my bet the line moved slightly. But was still great value. So I decided to go back for a second shot. Again a large wager and again approved by the linesmaker.

    The book often has an opinion on this sort of wager, but not usually as big an opinion as this.

    I look now and find the line is actually better now than it was earlier. I was thinking of going back for more

    So a question. If they decide the line was off, should the book be able to palp this wager?

    If I find a book whose line is off I may wager slightly more but not a lot more than what would be considered a "normal" wager. I"ve rarely had a problem with a bet that is cancelled due to an "off" line. If the book is an A or B I think your safe. If the book is a C or less they may think your taking a shot at them (trader approval or not) and do some funky $hit.
