Wow! I just discovered another "thighta**" Book. Would not change a small wager for me when I made a "meager" mistake I made, within 1 minute of asking that favor.
You know what I think: We've got too many of these type of gamblers that will do what this Sportsbook supervisor wants.

[prop]

Not thread worthy. It is very rare for a book to alter a confirmed wager, no matter if it is asked for 4 seconds or 60 seconds after the bet.

This. TheGreek is the only expection to this rule that I can think of.

[jjgold]

I wonder why>>

Is it a big deal to do it??

[lecubs28]

this is pretty rare, when i make a mistake i am stuck with it.

[5mike5]

5dimes has cancelled mine 1 or 2 times on a mistake

[Monitor-Tan]

Usually most books will cancel it as long as it's not a frequent thing and the line and price hasn't changed..

[Thor4140]

bet the other fuking side and pay the tiny juice for your mistake and move on. Seems simple

Greek declined the exact same type of request for me once. Bet wrong soccer match, 2 teams with similar names, and they said bad luck 2 minutes later.

[ABEHONEST]

Here's why they should have let me cancel it:
1. It's the middle of the week and the play was a on a Sat.
2. A 75 wager isn't going to make one bit of difference to them, especially, since it was a 1/2 mistake.
3. This should be a given, unless repeated too many times, or close to post, and of course, if it's a large wage [maybe?]. It's called, "common courtesy to your customers!"

Does anyone know of a more lucrative business than the business these characters are in?

I sincerely believe my cartoon hit's close to home!

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Its happened to me twice with 5 dimes and they cancelled the wager for me with no hassles.

[Emily_Haines]

This. TheGreek is the only expection to this rule that I can think of.

I keyed in a wager for 2000 once there when I meant to bet 200.

They would not let me change it.

Guess they don't care about their own rules then. Here's a copy paste from their rulebook:

• It is the Customers responsibility to review their wagers after each play, or before logging out to make sure all bets are correct. If the Customer has made a mistake entering a play, the play can be deleted if 1. The mistake is reported no more than 30 minutes from the time the wager was placed. 2. The wagered event has not begun. 3. A line or odds change on the event has not occurred.

[wtt0315]

so if a book makes a mistake they can cancel. If a player makes a mistake and no line moves then they should be able to cancel.

[wtt0315]

They should have a policy that says its our lines people job to make sure all our lines are correct. If not then we cant cancel

You're right about that. I keyed in the wrong amount and it was my fault. Not that big of a deal as I just bet the other side.

Sometimes the books take this shit to far. Ok yeah I get it if you bet a obvious mistake line. Once Pinnacle canceled a winning wager after the fact on a AUSTRALIAN soccer match when they had the city correct but the nickname wrong on the listing. Do you think SBR helped me get my money on an outright theft from me? FUK NO!

[ABEHONEST]

Emily and Gallin made some excellent observations.
I would have died of a heart attack with a 2000 mistake and getting hung with it.
Depending on the circumstances, like I said, but many of these greedy rascals show no compassion for their customers, who, likely, are 5,000 to 100,000 in the hole?

I believe we all need a serious conversation with your Books before we all blow money on a simple mistake. What's the story with The Greek and his rules?
The ones that are open-minded about canceling, should be praised, and the other basd**** should get the other kind of publicity.

I do see where it's probably fair, if you call within *1 or 2, or maybe even 4 minutes, and ask for a cancellation. * Depending on line moveent, maybe?
That should be a given rule for their clientele. Maybe allowing for 3 to 4 cancellations a month?

Never cancel a bet... NEVER NEVER NEVER

[BrianLaverty]

The book that you love to bitch about... Heritage... has done it for me quite a few times. As did the Greek many times.... even 5dimes will do it for you if the line hasn't moved.

[prop]

Was the name of book edited from thread? Not that matters but just a bit funny if so.

No, I am just not in enough foul mood to blast them online, right now. But, any more cheap-shots like this, and my teeth will start gnashing. A hint: It's a book that gives 1/2 points at certain time periods.

Hey "Abe Honest",

Why is it that you are quick to blast some books online but not others? If you need some links to refresh your memory, you know I got your back buddy. I'm interested to hear this reply.

Thanks Abe

I don't understand your point? And, should I care?
I just noticed I have 4094 posts and this lad has 262, and he's trying to school me.

[uncynd]

I've had a very good book I use do it twice for me! I'm not going to give their name cause I don't want people to exploit them for it, def not unheard of from the most dependable books.

[rumple]

I accidently bet $1000 when meaning to bet $100 at DSI. I got them on live chat right away and they changed it. Of course the bet won easily.

Can be deleted is not the same is will be deleted.

[chachi]

William Hill (surprise surprise) did so for me once

[bane]

Never cancel a bet... NEVER NEVER NEVER

Why not?

I made a mistake on a bet. Two tennis players w/ the same last name & I bet the wrong one. Rather than pay the juice to bet the other side, the SB cancelled it. Took 30 seconds on chat.

[prop]

1) Sounds like you must be a good customer 2) sounds like you make a lot of mistakes when betting (perhaps why?)

[GoBlue23]

Legends did this for me last night on the NFL game without any hassle. If they say no just do what everyone else said and double up on the other side. Will only be an issue if you bet over 33% of your balance on the wrong side

[patswin]

i've been able to do it the last few times i asked. Last time is was *****, did live chat right after noticing my error and they voided it out for me

[CollegePro]

heritage did for me.. they just had to make sure line didn't move.
