Has anyone ever had a live bet cancelled with Bovada? I hit on a live bet that was +1600 I only put $10 on it but when I logged back into account it said wager was canceled. When I called Bovada the rep stated “oh it was a system error”. What kind of b.s is this? Just wanted to see if this has happen to anyone else and was there any resolution?

If it was a palpable error then all books have it in their terms these will be cancelled.Originally posted by jrjay93
Was +1600 obviously incorrect odds?.Comment -
What was the bet?Comment -
It was a live bet with Michigan +1600 when they were losing at beginning of gameComment -
I get what you saying but it pissed me off because awhile back I was live betting and wager same bet 3 times in error and called them to cancel out error wager and rep over the phone told me once a live bet is locked in it can’t be canceled. Now that the shoe is on the other foot all I get is oh I’m sorry but that was a system errorOriginally posted by OptionalComment -
Well I know it wasn't Michigan football as they were up 28-0 so I assume you mean Michigan basketball who were 22.5 pt favorites over Central Michigan? +1600 early in the game as a 22.5 pt fave?Originally posted by jrjay93
A thread was made to complain about them cancelling this? Cmon man.Comment -
This is nowhere near a "shoe on the other foot" situation.Originally posted by jrjay93Comment -
I get the frustration. Books do seem to have it all their way. But if it was an obvious error and cancelled before the game it is a normal rule and not much we can do. If it wasn't cancelled until post game, then they should payout at the "correct" odds.Originally posted by jrjay93
Personally I think books should be more pragmatic about it and at least offer a small freeplay when they stuff up, to take a little responsibility and basically 'apologize' for their error. But I think most see the tough stance on it as needed to avoid attracting shot takers..Comment -
It was a live bet made during the Michigan basketball game. I actually made two bets one was on the line which was +18.5 and the other was a moneyline bet. The +1600 bet was canceled once Michigan came back and took lead but the other bet was canceled until game was over. The only reason I was mad about the situation was due to prior incident were I made a live bet and the bet was made 3times in error and was told once live bets are made they can’t be canceled.Originally posted by OptionalComment -

How when their system obviously glitched before when I was live betting and made a bet 3 times and I called to have the other 2 bets canceled I was told live bets can not be canceled and are final. Now from their stance this was a system glitch but we are going to cancel this bet. And before you I ask I called before the game was over to cancel the 3 bet error that was made before.Originally posted by rangerz2478Comment -
The bets you made here are the epitome of a bad line. Both lines were flipped on a massive favorite and there isn't a single sportsbook in the world who wouldn't cancel those. Had you bet the -18.5 side who should've been +18.5 and they refused to cancel, then that is definitely wrong of the sportsbook and would fit the situation.Originally posted by jrjay93
The system glitch allowing 3 bets would be frustrating for sure but its apples and oranges.Comment -
