can their be an article with less details about wtf happened?

“There was an issue that caused the corners market to have inflated the odds, but they were not supposed to be offered at that price. Therefore, we are not able to find out what the correct odds would have been, that is why the wager was voided.”


This again huh?

Another 'after the fact' BS claim

It is not the player's responsibility to know what the "true odds" are

It doesn't matter. YOU offered a product/purchase for a price that YOU posted

Once someone makes the purchase, you can't (shouldn't be able to) change your mind afterwards because you think or realize you should have charged more

Honor what you offered and move on

Lawmakers really need to change these rules when it comes to legal Sportsbooks

 

[Wagerallsports]

There's so any examples

It's like buying crypto, and then demanding your money back grom the exchange because the price went down

Buy something from Walmart and the store calls you later because they think they priced it wrong

These stories always get to me how sports books make up their rules as they go along when it comes to players hitting big

They did offer a nice 100 bonus bet.

How can they get away with not paying when an already agreed upon transaction took place? Books shouldn't be able to get away with not paying when they say there was a bad line or bad odds.

At least pay the teacher on the corrected odds just slimy welching. I love hammering betmgm hard.

Cringy read to find out about this regarding an American book, but they are known to cut off & limit winners rather fast anyway this particular Sportsbook.

I have account there plus draftkings,barstool. Haven't bet there in months as garbage lines and no offers worthwhile. Wynnbet is not bad for MLB(dime line) and FanDuel has offers and occasional best line.
Offshore still rules though.

It's long been ridiculous

They can argue 'bad line' whenever it's convenient for them

Have some honor and pay up, even if in some instances you fu€k up

 

[jjgold]

Vegas they have to pay bad lines

i'm not so sure about that... what kind of 3-team parlay pays 66-1?

maybe the corners was listed at +1000 instead of +100, who knows at this point... if that was the case then he was trying to scam them

[KingKolzig]
