I did not have the opportunity to contact them until two days later, but was told that it was a "bad line," and so the wager was deleted. Keep in mind it was not in my history as voided, but rather just removed as if it had never happened. And I was not notified in any way.
The line was certainly not bad, as it was for a tennis match that was nowhere near started, and their line was within range of those at The Greek and Matchbook. I.e., the correct player was favored and there was not even an arb available -- BP just happened to have the best price of the three, so I bet it. (The bet won).
They tried to offer a bonus to placate me -- but I refused to budge until they paid me. All told, it took about four days of back and forth to get them to pay the bet in full. I still do not know if they deleted the bet before or after the result was known. The bet was placed about two hours before start, and I did not log in to my account from the time of bet until about 48 hours later.
Bottom line: Bet Phoenix has historically and apparently will continue to ERASE bets from a player's history as they see fit -- with no notification sent to the player. I know of no other even semi-reputable operation that would do this.
