you are screwed

a good book should honour those bets, mistake is from the book not the player. What happend if other player took the other side at Bet Islands or how you know where is the "wrong line" bet islands or 5dimes.

I know the wrong line is at BI because I researched the fight and Juan Carlos Burgos who I picked at +370 is the favorite so 5dimes is right, and my current book BI is wrong

So I am wagering on Juan Carlos Burgos v. Cristobal Cruz at BetIslands. What's weird is this is on 5 Dimes for, Juan Carlos Burbos is listed at -600. ON BET ISLANDS I wagered on this at Juan Carlos Burgos at+370 (this has to be a mistake) but I wagered anyways. My bet was risk 242 and WIN 895. If I win can they reverse my wager? Please any responses would help

call them - ask for jon - explain - good luck

He gave me 50 bucks free play and erased my Origional bet

I mean a mistake is a mistake but he at least gave free play

That was nice of him. Honesty does pay (sometimes).

aortega521 · 02-24-12, 10:43 PM

Yeah I mean I don't know standard procedure for those issues but just frustrating. Still very professional though. Thanks to jon from BI!!!

Wrong. Every book worth its salt has rule in writing that it can void obviously bad line. No player should ever bet a bad line and the best thing to do is to report it, because as happened here, the book will often toss you something.

I will agree if you change "often toss" to "always toss".... most book said thank you and period.

OK but you have nothing to lose by reporting it, as you MAY get something in return.

On the other hand, betting into it is a lose / lose situation.

If it wins, it will be voided. Lose and it stands.

That's reasonable and generous. Some books would just void the mistake (hopefully before the start of the event) and move on.
