    Which Sportsbooks Don't Ever Cancel User Bets?

    Before I get into online betting, I need to know if I place a surebet, or a wager somewhere, that the sites I use will not cancel it due to their own errors, incorrect odds, etc, and leave me screwed.

    Which sites 1) Don't allow themselves this privilege or 2) Don't in practice ever do this?

    It's a new Book for those that only bet bad lines and expect their bets to stick. Be prepared for payout problems though.

    If I only placed surebets amongst top bookers, like A and higher rated, should I expect my bets to be cancelled every once in a while?

    Only if one of them is seriously off market. Most A Books will allow sharp/steam bets, but don't be shocked if they quickly limit you.

    Ok. So if an odd is within 10-20% of the market average, I should be ok?

    depends on the market..in super big leagues like the NFL 20% off would be a LOT, while at some small soccer shit leagues...
    btw i know the Greek cancels them, while Bookmaker for example doesn't.
    And don't even think about trying this at any of the british pseudo books.

    Any sportsbook in Las Vegas. If they did the Nevada Gaming Control would fine them 100x the amount of the bet.

    ..or they kick you out, last thing i heard is Pinny gives you the option to take the bet and leave, or have it cancelled.
