Am I wrong or was the site?

I recently started doing NBA In Running bets and I feel I got screwed over here on 2 bets. It was on players only. I know it's a poorly rated site but I can't find any others that take credit card.

bet 190.00 to win 165.22 Result: Wager Lost
Hawks 72
Cavaliers 99 05/05/09(23:59 ET)
Hawks +15.5 (-115)

On this one I had the Hawks when they were down by 12 in the second quarter. I assume I won by a half point.

Mavericks 105
Nuggets 117 05/06/09(02:00 ET)
Mavericks +11.5 (-125)

I had this one in the 4th quarter when the Mavs were down by 12. My logic is that I win if the Mavs lose by 23 or less.

I feel the site messed up(and I emailed them about it), but i'm curious to know what you guys think.

Those live bets effect the overall outcome of the game.

Lets say you took +11.5 when the Mavs were down 10.

They are +11.5 points for the entire game not +21.5.

I hope this answers your question.

Get em next time bro.

I don't know who you are using, but there are several of the sponsor books on here that take credit cards. Try 2BETDSI (Diamond SportsBook). Sportsbook.com does as well. I have a local that I use, but have used these two in the past as well.

As far as the "live" bets that you made......
For starters I would be skeptical over a book that would take those bets. Thats' just an opinion.

#2, they are for the game total. You don't add and subtract points based onwhen you made the bet. If you got the Hawks +15.5, then that's for the game.

No - you lost by 1 1/2 points on the first bet and by 1/2 point on the second.

You don't add the point spread to what they are down at the time............DEN ahead by 12 at the point in the game, the book isn't asking you if you think they will go ahead by ANOTHER 11.5 points..............that would be too easy. The point spreads are adjusted as the game is played - so it is the game spread adjusted to what is happening.
I have fun with live bets - sometimes too much...............
