    Weird palp claim by Titanbet

    Just got an e-mail from Titanbet saying there has been a palpabe error and they're voiding my bet. I placed a bet on an early Premier League market (Birmingham vs Tottenham, took Tottenham on 1x2 for 2.38), wasn't a huge bet or anything, just $700. Pinnacle has Tottenham for 2.23 right now, might have been more when I placed my bet.

    Isn't this kinda weird/shady? A .15 difference is a palpable error?

    Very shady, I assume they didn't want to take that bet size so early in the week. Definitely isn't an error imo.

    That doesn't sound like a "bad line", especially if it's an early market.

    It is well within their rights to cancel it though and they did everything by the book. Obvously this is not a place that will have best odds unless they are out of line.

    Yes but this isnt the point. Obviously books can cancel bad lines but if a sportsbook could simply choose bets it wanted to cancel prior to the event citing the deletion as "bad line" then obviously they would just get rid of everything which was beating the closer.

    The example OP posted is not an obvious bad line at all.
