BetMGM Cancels $214,500 Winning World Cup Bets Due to “Obvious Error with Odds”

[KingKolzig]

so if a really rich guy bet $500k at that bad 66-1 they should pay him as well?

 

[BigJay]

The age-old question:

If he would have lost the bet would they still have refunded his original bet?

 

[KingKolzig]

guy took a huge shot

its like betting Bama to score first again Sanford and also have the most first downs at +6600

right

 

[milwaukee mike]

i suspected it was something like this

do you guys that thought mgm should pay still feel that way? no different than taking a -2000 with lines flipped at +2000 and expecting to get paid

5dimes tony would've taken the money AND whatever else was in the account ... "you try to steal $200,000 from me, i'm gonna steal $200,000 from you"

2 weeks ago betphoenix had d.german u5.5 strikouts +1600

i only had like $300 in my account so i thought about it. and there it could have slipped by they dont have the safeguards. but i didnt take it. i think it won cause he sucks after he pounded some coke for that perfect game

And where did that life philosophy get him when the Karma Police came a calling?

 

[Wagerallsports]

How is he a cheater if they are offering the line? They cheated him by not paying.

This is my theory too but I know I'm in the minority

It's the books' responsibility to get what they are offering right, not the players

Go to walmart & target and if they have a tag on something priced wrong, they sell it to you for the price on that item

yeah even if you know they're stupid, they'll use it to freeroll you on the wager or on the payout

if target had $17.99 on a $1799 TV and you tried to buy all 10 of them, there is no way they would sell those to you for $17.99

for small amounts they will do the right thing, but companies aren't just gonna let you steal $200k from them on a misprint

 

[BobbyFK]

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

Exactly. If it works out in the books favor then they will say bad line

books can make a typo on a line. look what i said above. what if a whale put $20,000 on it do they really have a responsibility to pay him $1.32m

its a closet homosexual loser like this silver spoon math teacher who cant let it go cause hes a fukin twink feggit

 

[KingKolzig]

Exactly. If it works out in the books favor then they will say bad line

if they can get away with it, overall yes. but in this case guy is a pussy shottaker. books suck too but this guy has no argument what so ever

Yeah I get it

I just see it as a form of reneging

he should be happy he wasn't arrested for attempted robbery

instead he goes on TV where these idiot journalists actually think that sure thing wager should be +6600

vietnam was outscored 0-12 in the world cup, they NEVER scored first and they sure as hell weren't gonna get more corners in this match (lost 9-3)

If someone makes a large personal wager with someone, and the other person is not in position to check odds, yet they agree to the bet and gave you 3pts more than what the odds are listed and they don't find out until midgame, would you accept the person telling you they aren't honoring the bet between you two because the actual odds weren't what you agreed to?

Plz don't give me the "well a good friend wouldn't take advantage of you like that" excuse LOL

 

[milwaukee mike]

outscored 12-0 in the world cup

outcornered 27-4

why did they even show up lol

 

[Wagerallsports]

On a side note....

This story is a great example of all of the clueless rookie sports bettors now in that states with legalizaton

You have a bunch of casual fans and Fantasy Sports Fans making the dive into sports betting and have much to learn

Social media is flooded with wannabes

3 points difference isn't the same as winning $200k on a +6600 that should've been -2000

yes i would accept someone not paying off a wager when the counterparty is a lying thief about it

no business would survive if they let people scam them like this and get away with it on every technicality

I see the argument both ways

They should offer something much more than what they did

Of course none of us here would make such an attempt because we all know it would get canceled anyhow
