Sportsbook f-up

[johnnyonthespot]

Hey guys, here's a question. wagerstreet royally screwed up one of their lines tonight for about 5 minutes, listing UNC Charlotte as 14 point dogs hosting Memphis!!!! I started to post it here but it was fixed before I got done. Of course, I got in pretty heavy on it before they fixed it. Has anyone had any experience with sportsbooks screwing up lines? Can they weasel out of honoring the wagers somehow?

Thanks

Nevermind. Apparently they can. My bet was cancelled.

yes

yes

this happened to me on the nebraska miami football game in the second half as mvp had nebraska +7 +1200 so i put half my about 5 minutes after i made the bet they were calling.

The best thing you can do when you see a goofed line is to call the book and report it. They almost always are willing to compensate you for your discovery......uo to as much as $50.
