    Betanysports..gotta be kiddin

    I bought 1, or either 1-1/2 points, about 17 days ago, on college football team, Oklahoma.

    The pointspread was -25 or -25 1/2? One of the two. So I now had Oklahoma-24, for 195/274. To win that 195 for a wager 274.
    That wager was totally processed and filed for 15 to 17 days.
    Now, since that line has jumped, say 3 or 4 days ago, this outfit says it's a scratch game.

    * Is there any way possible they can do this leagally?
    I have never heard of such a thing in all my 50 years of sports gambling.

    Has anyone esle on SBR, ever, haerd of this [scam] fisaco?
    Ontheotherhand? Is this sportsbook ready to close their doors?

    I don't see a line anywhere for the game, so I doubt if its a scam

    Because of hurricane Ida, the game has changed venues. They will now play in Norman, Oklahoma instead of as originally scheduled in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's not just a line change, it's a venue change.

    Yup. That'll do it. 100% correct to void wagers.

    Change of venue would likely make Oklahoma a 28-29 point favorite now, and it is a legitimate scratch because of the change from a home game to road game for Tulane because of the hurricane.

    Well, thanks for that shocking answer.
    I do feel better now, because it doesn't take much have paranoia sink into my mind, when dealing with the many Books of the past.
    Even though, I have 2 or 3 smaller wagers on Okla. through another Book, so far, they haven't scratched those wagers?
    I assume they will in a day or two.
    Thank you the only legit answer possible. I can now stop comting Okla as a win, already.

    I have been swamped with other home and auto problems, recently, so I suppose that is the reason I did not see the home field change?

    * Thank you!
