This isn't the 1st time I've had issues. This time its regarding a prop bet, which are always arguable. The line was Wade +4 1/2 points vs Hamilton. Detroit plays a swarming defense and easily could shut down Wade, while Miami's has been very porious. I placed a wager on Wade and the juice was -125 for Wade. I checked my bets right before tipoff, and my bets were still pending and then come to find out later, the bet was graded NO ACTION. I was told the line was supposed to be Wade -4 1/2, not + 4 1/2. Wade went nuts in the 4th quarter to finish with 37, and Hamilton finished with 25. I celebrated my win, only to find out I have been had. On top of the fact that Wade covered the intended -4 1/2. So, to this I say :fingerc:

ooo. sorry I told a friend my story and went with his suggestion. Just frustrated. Thought I had a winner.
IZONE YOU DO HAVE A WINNER THESE SPORTSBOOKS CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.IF YOU HAD LOST YOUR BET THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT YOU HAD NO ACTION THEY WOULD HAVE STOLEN YOUR MONEY.IF THEY BOOK THE BET THATS IT YOU HAD A BET. :fingerc:
for about 25 minutes saturday (i think, maybe friday), Penn was GETTING 13.5 pts over dartmouth... i almost placed a bet, but figured itd be cancelled/no actioned.
ya, but it seems like game lines are alot easier to find out if its a mistake or not. Props are really hard sometimes, and even the "right" side, turns out to be the wrong side.
I vaguely remember GS at Washington and Richardson -4 1/2 vs. Arenas. Richardson scored 31, while Arenas scored 45. I didn't bet it, but now I wonder if that too was a mistake. It's not like Wade was + 4 1/2 points; + 125.... he was laying the juice, so why should I think otherwise.
I think when it comes to props, unless it's blalant, like the other day... Kobe -15 1/2 vs. Gasol, instead of it being + 15 1/2... then I just don't see how the bet can be graded no action, and therefore, I sweated the bet the whole game, got excited in the 4th and realized it was all for naught.
It's hard enough to beat Vegas itself, let alone when books back you into a corner with winning not possible.

Wade averages 27 pts/game
Hamilton averages 21.7 pts/game
Hard to figure that Hamilton would be a 4 1/2 pt fave over Wade
