Anyone ever forget to confirm there bets on internet before?

[Railbird]

happend to me again tonight costing me 400, 3rd time now in last 2 months, NEVER works my way either, I always would have won the bet.

Nothing like sweating a game for 3 hours on you dont even have action on.

 

[bigboydan]

that would suck rail

 

[Railbird]

maybe I should get dsl or whatever they call it. Im thinking the book erased the play maybe, but was probably my own fault.

 

[bigboydan]

Rail,
2 baseball seasons ago I played a 4 teamer for a nickle, left for the day thinking I picked up 5 dimes all day long, came back later that night to see the confirmation screen was still on my screen with all my plays. Thanks for reminding me.

Happened to me yesterday and I swear I remember hitting confirm.

Cost me $500

rail, not sure how that happens? you have to confirm it before they give you a tkt number?

 

[Fishhead]

RAIL-

YES, have it happen a couple times to me also.

Both times I think was rushing to try and get a middle.

Forget which sportsbook it is, maybe VIP, but it takes you to three screens to completly confirm your bet.

Of course, just like you, I won the bet I didnt get down on.

How about betting a game, sweating it, works out your way in OT, check thebook and you hit the wrong team.

a couple times at Heritage (I use to hate the way you had to confirm plays there) I had won both for about 750...I even called them up, it was when they first switched their software, hard to convince someone what you "would have played" ....Then I realized what really happened....I was winning so much back then it didn t bother me though....

Also once I 'thought' I had the over in the Lakers game @ SIA, I logged in when I realized the game was not going to make it and realized I entered the UNDER...That was one that actually worked...I believe I had a dime on that one...

One more thing that gets me, the other night I wanted to unload on Vancouver moneyline in hockey ...I go to check my Grande account on Sunday night they didn t bother grading any of my games and I had no money available to play it...And of course they win EASY...

Ah yes. forget to hit the 'ole "confirm" button.
It's happened to me also. At 5 dimes if u hit the the confirm button twice, it will knock your bet out & return to the betting screen & if u don't pay attention you'll think the bet is in.

M&M sports had/has a different set up on confirming a wager than most other books and that led to me thinking I had a wager in that would have won 1,000.00

On a similar note, 3 times in the last year I was not able to confirm a wager online at various books due to the games just starting. But I was able to call up 3 different books on all occasions and was allowed to wager on each of the events while they were barely in progress. I lost all 3 of those wagers.

VIP,bet19,gameday and wallst can all be tricky as well. They will provide a ticket number to the left prior to your confirmation and when you do actually confirm the bet the screen doesnt look much different. Anyone in a hurry can easily overlook a confirmation here.

I think bodog is another book that can easily turn into a disaster if you dont pay attention to the confirmation.
