    Alert For Shot Takers
    WSEX Football lines insane. Pats are +15.5, all other lines way off.

      Why not? If they book the bet they have to honor it right?

        No book in their right mind would honor this bullshit line. If they did, I'm sure it'll come with an ultimatum that if you keep this bet, it'll be your last one with us.

            Don't do that but WSEX is known to be slow moving on future bets.

              No, they don't.

                SBR wouldn't even go to bat for you in a case like this. No book is paying.

                  I can't believe you're asking this question. I thought you worked for a sportsbook ?

                  You should know that no book would honour a +15.5 bet on a -15.5 team.

                    this one happened to be transposed, but the others were Cleveland +17, Pitt +2, Philly -3.5 and Washington +15.5

                      Haifax, I was just trying a little socialogical experiment to see who would agree as many players seem to feel that as long as a sportsbook accepts a wager there is NO grey area, even if the placing of the bets was done by a robot, beard, etc.

                      I am glad to see no one took the bait. Anyone one who believes a book should have to pay on those obviously bad lines is not being rational.

                      I personally believe MOST player complaints fall into the grey area category.
