Cooz,

I have 2 on-line books

One has:

Bruins -1/2 (-170)
Flames +1/2 (-150)

The other:

Bruins -1/2 (+150)
Flames +1/2 (-170)

You know what I did ;)

That line of the Bruins -1/2 (+150) cannot be right! If it is, what book are you using and how are they still buisness?

They just listed all Bets that got Boston at +150 as NO ACTION...

That is BULLS**T, If they posted that line they should be held

accountable and take the action on it.....:mad:

Hey Lucky,

I agree with you 100%...It's not your fault they posted a line but
I was having an on line chat with one of the cust. support people. Here's what they say...

customer service3: As stated in our rules: Management also reserves the right to cancel any wager made on an obviously "bad" line due to data input or clerical error xxxxx.com will attempt to notify all customers by E-mail, or the customers selected method of notification prior to canceling any wagers.

So they can delete any wager if the claim that the line is posted wrong. BTW, they also said if you took Calgary and paid the juice, that wager would be "NO ACTION" also.

I think it sucks and I'm withdrawing my $$$ from them once I get home from the B's game tonight. It's not like they are the only on-line book.

ALL books will cancel bets on bad lines. SOME books won't tell you until after the game is over, so beware of those books.

it's an error. suppose they posted san antonio +10.5 tonight by error instead of -10.5. no book is going to honor that bet. none.

I have been given a $25 reward for notification of a bad line from 3 or 4 different books in the past. However, I tried to tell a book about a 23 point mistake on a NBA total last week and they wouldn't give me anything.

Ok, I still think if the book makes a mistake it should still honor

the posted line it gave to those customers that got it it in. But

thats not what I'm pissed about now. I called the customer

support of the book that provided the +150 line and asked if I

could still include BOSTON in the three parlays that I had picked

even though the line would be changed to -170. They told me

that they could not include Boston in my parlays and I would

have to play the remaining teams as the parlay. I'm not saying all

the other teams in my parlays are a lock, but they should let me

change them so I can include Boston at the correct line

right?????????

That is BULLS**T, If they posted that line they should be held


this has never happened to me but that is BULLSHIT. But if it says they can then not much u can do about it. Anyways that is the reason I never tell them when I lose on a wager but they give me the $$$ and the win:p It has happened to me three times once in MLB and twice with NHL. 2 of the 3 were losses while one was a push but I got credited for a win in all 3:thefinger

Sometimes you get a gift though! Last year in the Hockey Playoffs my site had NJ/Carolina O/U at 8!!! I jumped on it and then later called before the game started to make sure it would stand and the guy said since it was their fault and since I don't have a history of looking for mistakes, they will honor it! That was a pretty nice thing for them to do I thought.:)
