It?s not every day that sports fans demand an instant replay of the review of an instant replay, but that?s exactly what?s happening today as scores of sports bettors lost big money betting on the Miami Marlins to win Thursday night. A review of an instant play at the plate led to the 8th inning being controversially extended. The Cincinnati Reds were subsequently able to notch two more runs.
"The introduction of the instant replay was mean to solve contentious plays, not cause additional controversy,? stated Dave Johnson, head oddsmaker at SportsBettingOnline.ag. ?But because of a horrible instant replay review that overturned a call most unfairly, sports bettors across the country are feeling the sting. We think that?s unfair, so we?re refunding players who bet on the Marlins to win.?
The controversy unfolded with the Marlins leading 1-0 at the top of the eighth inning. The Reds had the bases loaded with just one out. Bryan Morris got Todd Frazier to fly out to Giancarlo Stanton in the right field. He threw the ball to home plate, clearly beating Cozart to the plate and tagging him out.
But a replay at the plate delayed the game by over six minutes. The call was overturned as the review panel agreed that Mathis was blocking the plate as Cozart made his way to home plate. Cozart was subsequently called safe, with the reviewers pointing out a violation of Rule 7.13. And with that the game was tied at 1.
The Marlins eventually lost the game ? and so did scores of sports bettors. But SportsBettingOnline.ag is refunding all players who lost straight bets or parlays as a result of the ruling against the Marlins. The cash will be credited back to players? accounts by close of business day on Friday.
The botched call has caused so much controversy that MLB was forced to issue the following statement: ?We have begun to examine the Crew Chief Review in tonight's Reds-Marlins game, which resulted in a violation of Rule 7.13, the call being overturned and a run scoring on the play," the statement said. "We plan to discuss this situation further with the appropriate parties tomorrow, and we will communicate with the clubs after our discussion about this play."
This isn?t the first time SportsBettingOnline.ag has refunded players for losing bets. In June, SportsBettingOnline.ag paid bettors back who picked the Miami Heat to threepeat. And a few months ago, SportsBettingOnline.ag refunded players who backed the Philadelphia Phillies after LA Dodger Josh Beckett pitched an unexpected no-hitter.
Most notably, SBO refunded the Pacquaio-Bradley fight a few years back, a controversial boxing match where many believed Pacquaio was unfairly denied a win.
Paying members cash for losing bets is a common occurrence at SportsBettingOnline.ag. Instead of running unrealistic promotions with ridiculous rollover requirements, SportsBettingOnline.ag features two bonus offers, including a 10% cash back offer, win or lose, with no rollovers.
