That is why only a fool bets in to a bad line....... 

 

No, dipshit.  Only fools support a book freerolling players.

 

You seriously think everyone is going to check other markets before placing all of their live wagers?  LOL.  Just dumb beyond belief.

 

People sometimes bet the wrong side of that "bad line" too.  How do you suppose someone who had a ticket written at the window would ever know that a live wager was being refunded?

It's not the same thing.  It's not an agreed upon price and final sale.

 

Why do all of you people want to argue for other players to get freerolled?  It's incredible.

 

Not arguing anything.  I just looked at it like they ATM agreed to give me $100 dollars but glitched and gave me $10k instead.  Do I have to give it back?

Yes.  But that's not the same.  If you cash your ticket at the sportsbook window and they give you too much money, you would have to give it back too.  That's the same.

I just read the article at espn and there are soo many things wrong with this. First of all, he bet it when the Broncos were already in FG range down 2. The real line should have been -600 and was posted at +75000... ridiculous. he knew he was taking a shot and a ridiculous line...  BUT the kicker is.... I assumed it was put in on an app online.. It was placed over the counter. Is that clerk retarded? He is clearly fired or was in on it...... If I was the book, I would fire the clerk on the spot and compensate the bettor favorably but not pay the ridiculous bet.....

Don't they just void them in UK win or lose for a bad line?

 

And again, just speaking in hypotheticals.  Let's say they got a lot more down than the $100 plus or whatever it was.  What if it was a larger 5 figure amount that would have basically bankrupted the book.  Should they still pay it?

Ha,  I thought it was when they took the ball on the last possession.  Did not realize it was when they already were in FG range.  Makes really no difference on what people are arguing though.  The question is should books have to pay when they post bad lines.

LOL.  Ticket writers make minimum wage.  They aren't risk management of the casino.  If it was that bad of a line, how did the people setting the fucking line not see it?

Books in the UK are basically deposit only.  They aren't markets.  They don't have the regulations that we have in Nevada that protect the player to a degree.

 

Books in Nevada are bonded.  If a $5k bet is going to bankrupt a book, they shouldn't be in business in the first place.  They don't know how to set limits or lines properly.

 

If someone fat fingers a market sell order of 1 million shares of Apple tomorrow, they aren't getting a refund or a do over.

Apparently it was a computer glitch that was up for only 18 seconds. A few small bets were made and Fanduel paid them out on the real -600 line and not the +75000 line.

 

So a computer randomly assigns +75000 to a line.  Yeah.  Sure.  I've got land under a bridge for sale.  I'm sure you're interested.

 

Typical Euro trash bookmaking.
