    Glitch or Shady behavior?

    Ok, so I just bet the first half Memphis -3.5 on William Hill for $250. After they lead by 4 at the half, I go to check my bet and to my dismay I find it shows -3.5 second half!

    When making the bet, it took my bet to an automated screen that said my bet had to be approved by someone before being accepted.

    I made sure to click the first half bet, and sure enough they only get 3 points in the second half to lose the bet.


    I haven't had issues with WH in the past, but I can't stop thinking about how the display screen clears away the bet, and says bet needs to be approved by someone first. I have no reason to bet second halfs, especially before the game starts.

    Mods, do I have any shot of getting my money back here? I really feel like something doesn't make sense. Further, they are now doing maintenance, maybe some error happened on their part?

    You should always take a screen shot though because books can "lose" tickets. Or at least copy the wager ticket number.

    Does Stan James take action on the second half before the game starts? Most books don't offer second half lines until halftime.
