Therefore your bet should be no action, no matter what the outcum.

2-0 Pitt as it stands after one period now, last i looked.

If i would lose this bet .Guy like you would come out and say settle this bet at the right odds (as a loser)Just like the books do.

Sorry to tell you but you are sounding like sore loser.

For the beginners :

At any book If the line is wrong .Book settles the bet at the right odds (the odds that should be right ).I believe it's called pal error.

Well RX and other books can have any odds or line they like .
Our odds are betfair odds !

Cheers and GL with the contest :howdy:

X-Files dude you made this post with a score 5:0

 

[X-Files]

For the beginners :

At any book If the line is wrong .Book settles the bet at the right odds (the odds that should be right ).

Actually if the line is wrong books commonly cancell the wagers.
IOW they grade it the same as a push.

BTW some books have also been known to boot players who
bet into obviously bad lines.

Well RX and other books can have any odds or line they like .
Our odds are betfair odds !

Then why did you refer to what bet365 odds were earlier?
When i looked not only bet365, but Piny, Oly & the 10 books
of the Rx odds all had the over as the fav. And you can add
Betfair to that list.

 

[X-Files]

Pitt 2.25

I believe that Washington is -140 Fav?

1.75 would be around -130.

The Pens line at 2.25 was accurate so IMO that bet should
stand. All others were bad lines so should be cancelled. Any
one could have checked various books to see that they were
bad lines before the game started.

BTW using the posted lines someone could have bet both
the Pens +225 and the Caps +275 for a guaranteed profit.

Well not after the game started right?

I made few picks here where SportSavant is yet to post the odds for the games .So win or lose my wager should = 0 ? This bets were sattled the fallowing day with the real odds.

Now you gonna tell this forum what should stay what should not hno:

 

[X-Files]

X-Files dude you made this post with a score 5:0

Actually it was 4-0 after i posted and resumed watching the game.
But like i said, last i looked, which was after the first period, it was
2-0. So what is your point? You're the only one here who made a
bet into an obviously bad line.

 

[X-Files]

I made few picks here where SportSavant is yet to post the odds for the games .So win or lose my wager should = 0 ? This bets were sattled the fallowing day with the real odds.

So you sent him your pick with the understanding that you agreed
to take it at whatever the odds were?

IMO that is different from betting into a bad line.

Apples and oranges. Apples and hand grenades.

 

[X-Files]

Now you gonna tell this forum what should stay what should not hno:

I am giving my opinion & you yours. What "this forum" does
is up to them, obviously.

IMO that is different from betting into a bad line.

Apples and oranges. Apples and hand grenades.

There was an O/U without the line on it so i took a bet any way .I didn't send a pick i posted my pick.
If the line above was bad line i have no problem excepting adjusted line Cheers and GL.

Like you sad it's up to Mods .

 

[SportSavant]

Should that be Wash 1.75 & o/u's reversed?

I just saw all of this now, but X files was correct in his post made right after I posted, the WASH should have been 1.75 and the o/u's were reversed.

i will ask JOH to grade based on the "Correct Price".

sorry guys.

 

[JOH]

Plays will be graded using corrected lines below:
