    Wrong tennis scoreboard today?
    Anybody hear about the wrong scoreboard for the Levine vs isner match? Showed Isner winning easily in two sets and people were piling on unbelievable odds on isner who was up 1 set and 4-0 up. Market was settled....then it was realized that the scoreboard was wrong and it was actually levine that won. All isner winnings were reversed and graded as losses and the levine bets were then graded as winners. Tons of people were piling money into this match on isner and they all got ****ed

      Ya tons of people got ****ed.Trying to get the in-play bets to be voided but they won't be
      Claiming that it is not there fault and its the scoreboards fault. Even the scoreboard on the betting site had it wrong because its gets its scores from the atp site

        Yeah Staco, Crazy brought this up in another thread.....



        If you get a chance, go to the BetFair site as well under the Forum section. People are bloody well losing their minds over this. Sounds like a f*** up of biblical proportions.

          Honestly they should do the whole thing as no action...you cant grade something as a loss that acutally won...

              The people betting on levine would have to be people that knew what was happening and not people just taking a stab at an underdog.
              They were saying that it had isner up one set and serving for the match up a couple breaks and his value was around 1.14 at times and even got a little higher then that. The true odds in this situation would have been around 1.01- 1.02. So basically a player wanting to lay isner in this situation would want to lay them at 1.01 or 1.02 and not at odds of 1.14. That would mean that you would be getting +700 odds by backing a player down a set and a couple breaks and serving for the match.No one would bet that.So the people that did bet it are the people that knew the scoreboard was wrong and they made a killing

                I just read some of the posts and it sounds like they reversed it and graded all Levine bets as a loss even though he won...sounds ****ed up to me.

                  Christ.....I thought I had a bad day.....From what I'm reading, sounds like some of those punters over at BF are on death's door. At the very least suicide watch.....

                    Well they first graded isner the winner.All the backers got there money. Then they realized there was an error and then reversed those bets and graded the isner bets as losses and then graded the levine bets, which were previously graded as losses, winners

                      Sad thing is if you read some of the posts at the start, during the match, it talks of people clearing there account on the match since the odds were "guaranteed money". I am so glad I didn't bet this match.I back heavy favs in-running alot.I will just suck up my 1500 dollar loss with the astros tonight and move on

                        Dude I saw one guy said he put 15k on it....which is like 30,000 U.S. ...That is unreal. Im sure hes not the only one. Betfair better watch out...if someone lost enough money they might start killing employees and shit.
