(Clarification)-Complaint against my book. Is this acceptable?

Original post:

A "margin of victory" wager I made with my bookie was initially graded as "void". A few hours later, it was graded as a "loss", which it was. I do not know when it was initally graded as a "void". It could have been during the game. I do not know. Is this acceptable?

Clarification:

My contention is, they voided the wager during the game. I do not know for sure when it was voided. If I won the wager, it would have remained a voided wager and they would not have paid. Now, I believe they are removing the void since they know it a loss, and making me pay

Cheers
KLA

dude, your clarification was understood the first time around...

what is the play you made which you consider was graded a loss only after it became such...

It was a Margin of Victory wager. Rams to win by 4, +3200.

if you dont know when it was voided then its hard to say they would have left it voided if it had won.

you said yourself that you dont know if it was voided during the game or not.

worst case scenario is, a bet you made, lost and a book MIGHT have taken a shot at you.

if you really think they were taking a free shot at you, close your account and go play elsewhere.

Kevin there is not much you can do, you lost. Try to talk to CSD and ask why the bet was voided, and then changed back to a loss. If you had won then the book would have had to explain why they would not pay you. As it stands they don't have to explain anything, a loss is a loss.

IMHO. wil. Maybe some of the bookmakers will have a different slant on the situation. BOL.
