    Dear Bet Islands....you're welcome !!!!

    So moments after I bet Miami Heat +5.5 -175 I said to myself "that has to be a bad line"

    Then I noticed they also have Miami -2.5 +175, so I say to myself "definitely a bad line"

    So I contact live chat to tell them and they go the the lines manager and he responds that I am wrong and the lines are good.

    5 minutes later they take it off the board and cancel bets.

    You're welcome for the tip (sarcastic)

    Next time I'll keep it to myself and let you guys deal with the consequences

    I think you knew it was a bad line from the get go. Not after you thought about it after making the bet. Lol.

    I didn't "know" it was a bad line right away. Just thought it looked good and jumped on it. It only took a few moments to realize it was bad after seeing the other alternate line.
    It took a total of 3 minutes from my betting time to reporting it. I just wanted clarity on the bet so I didn't cheer for the Heat only to have it canceled.

    The whole idea of the thread though is that they told me I was WRONG and then took my advice and looked into it further. Not even saying "thanks"

    they always have lines off i stopped pointing them out to them when they refused to stop giving any free plays for saving them money. Game 1 they had under 199 or less at 3-1 on the props. I think the actual over under is 193 or so. THe lines maker is sloppy and i say if they arent going to help you out by reporting no need to report it just take the bet and its on them to not make mistakes.

    I'm old school in this area.
    You are doing the book a huge favor by pointing out a wrong line.
    YES they should always toss a free play for that. Case closed.

    If you say different you are naive as hell, thinking we're all on the same side.

    You have a polite adversarial relationship with sports books.
    IF YOU REMEMBER NOTHING ELSE REMEMBER THAT.

    Strictly my opinion, BI had their little nice run but haven't lived up to the hype for me. Wish this douchenozzle Dutch would stop sending me e-mails and the occasional phone call like I give a fck. Oh, and Dutch, don't belittle people who have gambled plenty by throwing in some 1st grade gambling lesson in your bullshit e-mails.

    Sounds like it is common there

    Maybe they should look for a new linesman as the current one is incomp

    I learned my lesson never inform offshore books of mistakes...You think they'd be gracious but just give you the whole " oh well we would have found out eventually"

    I remember on heritage once for the first Thunder vs Heat game, they had the first quarter lines still up while the first quarter was almost done.
