I just have to say - must be nice (for bodog's if someone doesnt understand lol) making errors/mistakes and not take responsability for them. Sigh, this would be useful in my life as well.

[mtneer1212]

It is an obvious bad line. Book should pay you based on -325 however. On what planet is any player a 3-1 shot to NOT score a goal?

[relaaxx]

seems like the book got a free roll on the op. waiting that long to cancel a bad line is suspicious. except for the first 3 or so years bodog has sucked. that was many years ago. take your funds out play at 5dimes or heritage if your in the US. if your not why on earth would you play there.

[DISTROYA]

Cmon man you tried to pull a fast one and got caught,albeit late. Just thank your lucky stars they didn't take away your funds and shut down your account ,and move on. The only thing they didn't do is handle this obvious line error before the game started. But that's what you get when you risk betting into obvious line errors....they can free ride your ass and you can't win either way.

correct 100%. how did i miss the common sense of he knew the line was bad. guess i should wait a little longer for that 1st hit of the day.

[pinnerpsk]

Bodog is flat out wrong saying that it should've been -325. No hockey player is ever -325 to score a goal in a game.

[pinnerpsk]

he has 7 goals in 27 games this year, yet they say the line should be -325? What the hell is Bodog doing here.

Bodog had above incorrect line.

[TheMoneyShot]

Line was incorrect. But saying the line should of been -325 is also incorrect.

Regardless... it gave the book an opportunity to free roll you.

No way they would of given you your money back if you lost.

That's what sucks about this.

Tough break.

[pinnerpsk]

Ahh...I see now. Ya the line was wrong. Agree with moneyshot. Just another book free rolling a bad line

[SBR Forum]

Correct, it's a clearly bad line. It should have been voided before the game began though. We'll ask the book to honor the correct price because it was not caught and voided in time, but any book is going to view these type of bets as taking shots (whether it was intentional or not). Betting flipped lines is not going to keep you in good standing with a sportsbook and may lead to being shown the door.

Bad lines happen, players always falsely think books let it go to freeroll. but thats as silly as claiming the poster didn't know "bad lines exist".

These books aren't sitting there sweating your $100 wager and deliberately not correcting an error in time .... what's happening is theyre reviewing why they got ass raped on some obscure little NHL prop and then realized a bunch of shot takers went to town on it.

And if he wouldve lost on this shot and Bodog didn't realize their error, he'd have been the first to ask for his money back, so please shut up with the accusing a book that makes millions upon millions of trying to scheme some money on a hundred buck prop, this isn't a shoe string shop with 4 employees for gods sakes

[rangerz2478]

Should have been voided before the game but this is as OBVIOUS of a line error as it gets.

[NCarts]

I'm not as familiar with the "industry standard" as most people are for this type of situation but I am a little surprised at the amount of people that suggested the book cancel the wager or pay him at whatever the "appropriate" line is. If he spotted an error or a line he liked and took advantage of it, then his wager should be honored. Plain and simple.
Few reasons and talking points...

1. Most books won't let you cancel a wager once its been placed, even if done so in error so why are they afforded that luxury. I can't speak for everyone but I've made accidental wagers but once it went through I accepted that I screwed up.

2. Changing a payout or result, AFTER the fact, sets a terrible precedent. Just because they put out a bad line doesn't excuse them from a bad beat. If someone sells a vintage car for well below "market value", should he go back go the buyer after the sale has been completed and ask for the remainder of the money? penetrate no. Too bad.

3. Many bettors have multiple books and will often pick the book that they feel provides the most favorable line for a particular event so what makes this that much different? Otherwise, every book would have the exact lines.

I understand, based on the replies, that this is the "industry standard" but I don't necessarily think that makes it right. And it baffles me as to why most people are sympathetic to the book when a similar scenario in a regular business wouldn't play out the same way. A "customer" would be rewarded with the bargain (or payout in this case) while the business would have to accept the loss.

I don't play with a huge bank roll but if a book tried canceling a win after the event was finished, I'd switch to another book immediately. One that runs a smooth operation and is honest with their users. Voiding a wager is just cowardly.

Another clueless retard.

These books put out thousands of lines on different stuff, they're going to have some typo's and errors from time to time. They don't have the time to research and double check every friggin line. Books never pay out on typo's or OBVIOUS errors, nor should they. If you saw a 1lb rib eye at the grocery store and it had a 0.98 price tag on it, you going to make a beef if they won't let you buy it at the checkout counter for 98 cents? This was an obvious bad line in this thread example, and anyone with an IQ over 85 would know it. You think this moron just happened to stumble on a hockey prop and say, gee, +325 on no to score a goal in a hockey game is a pretty good value? Friggin Wayne Gretzky wouldn't have been +325 for no in any game. When I see an obvious bad line I e-mail them and bring it to their attention. Once, they paid me $750 on a golf prop that they incorrectly graded as a winner. I alerted them to the fact, and told them I was paid in error. They let me keep $500 of it because they probably were so delighted that not every one of their customers is a thieving, scheming douchebag.

[darrell74]

That's why I moved to Vegas.

Too much of this nonsense.
Books just don't want to pay.

But they will take your $$$ in a second when they can.

So hard to get offshore books to pay. So goddam hard!!!

[darrell74]

When Bovada was Bodog, I sent them a photocopy of my drivers license and my ss#.
I still couldn't get them to send me a ** $200.

Never again will I deal with that.

Try reading any of your books terms.

Every one of them will retain the right to cancel errors. They all do cancel errors. It is definitely the fair industry standard and has been since the online industry has existed.

Don't forget it has to be an obvious or substantial error like this one where the odds where switched for each side. It's not going to happen by accident very often. You will know you have bet an error as it is obvious. You take a shot at the bad line, you take the risk of free rolling yourself.

So if a mistake is made like will Hillary Clinton win the Democratic nomination? and a line is posted as:

Yes +8500
No -6000

And I bet 1000 dollars on YES..... the book should pay me $85000? Mistakes happen. The line is obviously flipped.

[SBR Forum]

Bodog credited the player with a bonus of $31 in good faith, which would've been the winnings on a $100 bet at the correct odds of -325.

This was a clear human error, and probably the best example because this wasn't some 20 cent misclick, a player NOT to score was paying +325 in an NHL game. Their customer service team at Bodog will also reach out to him to explain NHL betting markets and what transpired with this erroneous prop line.
