    Screwed by Heritage

    Heritage is the first book I've used that altered my bet after it was placed.

    On 3-10-12 I placed two wagers on the upcoming Kobalt Tools 400 nascar race. (This sunday). Jimmy Johnson +500 and Kyle Bush +600 to win outright. I specifically remember betting on this race.

    However when I checked pending wagers later on, it said Odds to win the 2012 Sprint Cup Championship - Jimmie Johnson +500 and Odds to win the 2012 Sprint Cup Championship - Kyle Busch +600.

    Since the sprint championship race doesn't end until November, part of my $ is completely tied up.When I contacted customer service, they told me all internet bets are final. It can't be changed.

    I'm 100% positive this is not what I clicked on in the nascar menu which means my bet was changed after the fact.

    I've had accounts with Bookmaker, DSI, Thegreek, VIP (RIP) and betonsports.com and this is the first time I've had this to happen.

    I think you read it wrong. I never saw lines for this particular race. It was for the Championship.

    Odds reflect it being for the whole season as well.

    Hi badbets,

    Do you have a screenshot of the original wagers? What prices did you expect for the intended wager? While it sounds like user error a wager ticket or some other detail would be helpful. We received your email and replied.

    With heritage I wouldn't think they would change odds like that. I've seen line changes when placing wagers but never changing the lines after I placed the bet.

    you just bet the wrong thing.

    it happens

    ask nicely and they might let you take them down if the odds are still the same

    ask to speak to Mike

    While Heritage could show he got the wager he placed, they in good faith cancelled it. He was also offered to be sent his balance free of charge if he felt he didn't want to keep a balance with the book anymore.
