    Wrong Odds on Sportsbet.com.au

    I have made a bet on Tennis match Goffin v Mcdonald just then at Goffin winning at odds of 5.2 which was damn sweet. I have bet $561 on Goffin to win.
    To hedge my bet, I have bet $100 on pinnaclesports on Mcdonald winning the match so that I won't lose.

    Now I see on my Sportsbet account that my bet has been voided, which I am not happy about but understand. The problem is that I have hedged my bet on pinnaclesports $100 on Mcdonald winning the match which I cannot cancel.
    I wouldn't have made the $100 bet on pinnaclesports on Mcdonald, if I knew that my bet on sportsbet will be voided.

    I have emailed Sportsbet.com.au on the issue above and am waiting for results...
    The match Goffin v Mcdonald has not even started, got few more hours to start...


    Anyone have similar experiences and can give me some advice??

    Welcome to the forum

    The only thing I can add is regarding Sportsbet, every book gives themselves the right to void a bet in the case of an obvious line error, where "obvious" is at their discretion. If they have good CS, they would call you to give you a heads up, sounds like they didn't do that. Hopefully they work with you on this, but my guess is you are out of luck. pinnacle might be more helpful from their end. Good luck in any event.

    Don't worry, Goffin is a idiot and he will lose. Overrated player. In worst case I'm sure you will have chance during the match to protect yourself from losing. Just watch on live odds.

    What do you want them to do? Refund a bet you made with another book?

    You got a palp (reverse odds) thinking that you could do 20% of profit no matter the result, now you will have to lock your bet on pinny and take the red.

    this sounds like the way out for taking a shot at 5dimes. hope you can still make some money covering your bet in live betting. good luck.
