Wrong Line

[the_fix_is_on]

My offshore account has a wrong line posted on a game on their internet site.
If I bet it, do you think they'll will honor it? Or should I tell them?

...if it's a blatant mistake, they will cancel the bet. your best course is to call them and maybe they'll credit your account for helping them out. it never hurts to ask.

which offshore book? and which game?

Don't waste your time they will cancel it, if you take the time to read and books homepage they all have this clause in their rules of operations that you acknowledge when you deposit. Best thing to do is send them a email telling the line seems strange, if they then don't change it, I would take that as a assumption that they believe the line is correct and you can wager it.

I had a situation like that back 2 years ago when the Maple Leafs were playing the NJ Devils. Betonsports was slow to correct their moneyline even after a game was over. In fact, in between two of the games they failed to change it at all. I kept hammering the moneyline as the Maple Leafs (big dogs in the series) continued to win. Well as luck would have it, the Maple Leafs, after being up 3-1 in the series, ended up blowing 3 straight and lost the series and half my bank roll. Bastards.

I sent them an email.
They had the money line on the Fl St. - Miami game reversed.
Miami + 425.

I may take Fl State on the money line now.

That reminds me of a friend of mine who prints & sells parlay cards.
His printer accidently put a 13 instead of 3 on a pro football game line and my friend didn't catch the mistake before he distributed them.
Naturally, everyone and his brother jumped on the game.
Wouldn't you know, they covered the 13.

If this guy fell in a vat of sh*t, he'd have been lucky enough to be wearing a brown suit.

Glad to hear others have shared in my misery and watched gold turn to dust. Must be a divine power keeping us bettors "honest."
