    Lets say you maka a play and lose, the next day you see that your book graded it as a win and paid you, would you let them know?

      fuk no, i would try and cash out before i made more plays though because odds are i would go on hot streak and they would catch the error and take it all back saying i was playing with money i shouldnt have had....

          only a matter of time before they find out anyway... why risk losing the book if you try to sneak out your funds before they catch it.. you know damn well someone on the other side of the wager will alert them

              yep good point, PR. If it was on something where not alot of people bet on it. Like a total bases or something maybe u could get away with it. But if its on like a MLB game. someone is on the other side and they will find the error. So its best just tell them

                All depends on the amount and the book IMO, if its higher than say 1k I would probably stay quiet for a few days and see what happens. If its only for a couple hundred I would inform the book of the error because I would not want them catching it at a later date and perhaps those thousands in winnings from an error over a couple hundred; its also the ethical thing to do. As for the book, I don't think it would matter regardless the amount if its one of my go to books like a 5Dimes or Greek, I would inform them over any misgrade because I would not want to jeopardize my future with any of these top books. As for a book that pisses me off or doesn't care about their players, I would probably just keep quiet about it and take the free money because 1. they don't appreciate my business and 2. I don't really care if I would get booted from their book.

                        What if it was a +1450 bet that you lost, but they paid you. Would that change things?

                          I had a prop last year in the MLB playoffs where I had a team +1/2 for the 1st inning at +450 or something when it was supposed to be (-450) and hit it for a couple grand, just waited a few days for them to correct the error and nothing so ended up keeping it. I should mention that a few weeks prior to this I reported a bad prop that was listed at +1300 when it was suppose to be only +130 and the book didn't even say thanks, so this kind of made my decision for me the next time around.

                            They will eventually find the mistake, so no need to tell them, but they will just take it out of your acct when they find it, & thats legal. The point book did it to me the other day, a regular book can do the same, they reserve that right

                                  Happened to me once and the loss graded as a win was never changed to the correct grade. Wasn't a huge amount, but I'm not their statistician. If they can't get it right, tough shit on them. And you're damn right that if they grade a win as a loss, I'll be on them quicker than Ben Roethlisberger is on bar sluts.

                                    But can they take any winnings you made after that claiming that it was winnings off of the money they gave you?

                                      I don't verify winners only losers, would be my answer if they ever brought it up. I've kept it before, reported it if I value the book.

                                        yes, say it was an all in bet, then your balance should be zero, you run it up huge, they can take it all.

                                                Most books will give you a bonus for pointing out the error which is worth more than the zero dollars your gonna get when they catch the error, not to mention the possibility of getting booted from the book.

                                                        This has happened many times and I have always notified them. I am not trying to get over on them. I do the right thing.

                                                          Here is the bet I placed. It was through Bookmaker.




                                                          As you can see, I bet on Rashad to win by submission but he won by decision, and I still got paid.

                                                          Those of you that said you would keep the money may want to reconsider if this ever happens to you. I did the right thing by letting them know. This was the response I got:

                                                          Thank you for the information, you will still have that money in your account as a Thanks from the company

                                                          As a poster said above, they would have probably figured it out on their own anyway and taken back the money. This worked out great for me.

                                                                  Now if it was 5dimes they would have removed the money and probably would not have even thanked you for your honesty.
