Greek opener off 10 cents .. cancelled WTF?!

[calm]

"The wager taken on Los Angeles Dodgers for May 25th has been deleted due to a line error. The line was -115 which should have been -125."

Last I checked a 10c move isn't exactly an obvious line error. Not like they had the juice flipped or anything, just a soft opener. SBR gonna back me if I file a complaint?

[goblue12]

Sounds like sloppy bookmaking, not an obvious line error.

[mtneer1212]

I believe SBR would back you on this one. Of course, wait to see if you win..... LOL

[noober]

not an error so u have right

[louis]

I'm very surprised that they cancelled that. It could easily be a linemakers opinion that a game is -115 when other books think it is -125 and we should be able to bet our own opinions without having the bet cancelled. I would complain. One possibility is that The Greek deleted the bet thinking the line was off more than it really was. The only time they cancelled my bet the line was WAY OFF (bet over 10 when it should have been over 100 for a total).

10c nowadays is off, I dont see much than a 4-6c difference most the time. Not like the old days

[bubba]

when was the wager placed? when were you told of its cancellation?

[ForgetWallStreet]

I bet the same openers daily there and have never had this happen. Maybe I'm just not very good.

[David]

Surprised they cancelled it for just being 10 cents off.

[Harmy G]

weak sauce imo.

[Foosball Champ]

Just like in here in las vegas "tickets go as written" Shouldn't able to cancel tickets for any reason. If you make a bet do they let you cancel if the line moves against do they?

[LegitBet]

biggest headache sometimes is figuring out bad linefrom bargin!

[austin]

greek is hugely overrated and is only any good for americans. non-us punters should stay clear

[mr.inpak]

very surprised at this I would bet team totals in the nba that where off 2 points I they never cancelled it

[louis]

I made a bet at the Greek by mistake; Called them up a half hour later and they let me cancel it, so I have more tolerance if they want to cancel bets than I do with other sportsbooks. Nonetheless, I would be a little disturbed if they cancelled a bet that was only 10 cents off, even in baseball, especially an opening line where the linemaker is suppose to not be sure where the line should be. I've made bets at Greek before that were off and they have just moved the line. Maybe they just made a mistake and don't intend to cancel bets that are only 10 cents off. This is the first time I have heard of them doing this.

[Santo]

Would seem a non-palpable error to me. Worth complaining and finding out the justification I imagine.

I disagree.
They are a useful book to have. The only US serving book which I'd say that about.

Often they will have the best available price for tennis (albeit for only $300) and their 10c MLB moneylines makes them competitive with Pinnacle

[Dr.Gonzo]

If 10c is a line error I would never get a bet accepted

[jgilmartin]

10c off is considered a bad line now? Ouch

[Monte]

Too many idiots in this thread, Greek often has the best line. That is simply cos they are not impressed by Pinny on many markets, while the other books all are!
They also have the fastest 2nd half lines in all US sports, and they give a monthly bonus even to sharps if they loose.

And if it was an opener, and a simple typo mistake here that would have been corrected a few seconds later, they have every right to cancel it.
Some ppl really need to wake the fukk up.

[OSUCOWBOYS]

-115 = 53.48%
-125 = 55.50%

Hard to imagine that, for two percent, they would deem it a bad line and cancel the bet.

That would be the equivalent of them running the NBA game tonight Dallas -7 and canceling all Thunder +7 tickets.

[dirtyb66]

I'm very surprised they cancelled that. I think you have grounds for a complaint

[jgilmartin]

Time LA Dodgers Houston
05/25/11 11:56:30am -117 +107
05/25/11 04:17:33am -122 +112
05/24/11 04:33:17pm -125 +115
05/24/11 04:27:08pm -115 +105

If it was truly a typo, wouldn't one expect that the other side would have been +115?

wtf, your first paragraph contradicts your second, if they have their own opinionated lines (according to your own words b/c "they are not impressed by Pinny on many markets"), then how can they justify canceling a line that's 10c off market if they don't accept market relevant benchmarks in the first place?

[roanildinho]

This is probably a shill to make thegreek look bad

why are you so ******* stupid?

[DIF]

it all depends what the opposit line was.

[roanildinho]

Durito calm your buddy

[arabbeast13]

greek is the best in the biz

[odysseus]

I've only ever had 2 bets cancelled or "palped" and they were both by the greek. For a supposed A+ book their lines are full of obvious errors especially on props, usually a wrong sign: line A -130 B -160 or similar.
How they can palp a prop when their odds are all the place is beyond me!

[trixtrix]

Durito calm your buddy

have you received your 5 digit payout yet?

[chachi]

Sounds like Wally has been taking pointers from Tony ...
