If a sports book incorrectly grades a loser a winner and then 3 days later changed it but you run up a high balance with the money you got paid out wh

[CHOPTALK]

Let's say you have $90 in your account then you go all in and the play loses but gets graded a win .

Instead of 0 balance you have about 170.

You take that 170 and run it up over 1k in 3 days.

3 days after the losing play that was graded a winner finally gets graded correctly you get an email saying a play from 3 days ago was graded wrong .

Should the whole 830 be voided and returned to 0 because all the bets after was used on money that you should have never had in your account due to faulty grading or should just 90 be removed

Tough call....But I think they would & probably should void all winnings if your balance would have been zero without the mistake.

I'm on the player's side when a book posts a 'bad line' because if they accepted the wager, it should always count in my opinion.
That software accepting the wager is the same as a handshake and if they offered the line & people bet on it, it should count, period.

But, what you describe is a little different chop & I can understand a grading mistake...

You are rightly at their mercy.

Agree with Hache on all counts. The "Bad Line" excuse has given Books free rolls on players for years. It's total BS.

I'll add a twist. If the Grading error was clear, like a Yankee loss was erroneously graded a win, player was using funds he knew weren't his, and balance should be zero. The Book should also send an email that if such behavior is repeated, player will be tossed.
But it it was some weird ass prop, where there was different interpretations of what was a winning bet, like one one those superbowl props or debate props which always lead to controversy, the player was playing with money he legit thought was his, and only the grading change money should be taken out.

They should still payout. Who's to say you wouldn't have made an additional deposit after the loss and made money?

I actually see the book's side on a bad line if its handled correctly. Its should not be a get out of jail card for the bookie for his laziness though. If the scenario above happened I think the player has the right to the balance. Its on the bm to grade the wager correctly. Who's to say the player didn't look and see it graded that way and assume he saw the score incorrectly originally and that the book had it right? Can't imagine a book trying to void all the bets here.

This is my thinking as well.

If you knew your balance was zero then there might be a problem....tough call

I agree with this... if it was a tough call 3 days is just too much time for the book not to notice... if they allowed players to play by making a mistake and not correcting it in 24 hours they should IMHO grade the best as a loss yes but all winnings derived should stay as per the freerolling issue mentioned.

Say you lost, I'm sure they would think you owe them money.

+1

exactly

Of course they would.

 

[NBAcapper08]

today my local had live bet over x runs. the game was already over that amount of runs. i bet it and won.

 

[KingEleven]

3 days is too long to make a correction.

 

[StraightXRS]

The original $170 should be taken out of your account and the rest is yours to keep. Who's to say you weren't going to deposit money and place the exact same wagers you made that won. The improperly graded wager has nothing to do with the bets placed after it.

 

[TyBounce]

Tough call. I agree with $tinky.

Chop did this really happen or is this just a hypothetical"what if" ?

 

[JustinCruise]

Assuming the OP is talking about Bovada

One of the reason's I stopped playing there was a similar situation where they fucked me over on a bad line



The bad line was in a 3 team mlb parlay that I bet the night before the games. My parlay hit, but they graded it as no action because they screwed up one of the lines in it. Total bullshit.

At any given moment a sportsbook has thousands of numbers posted and they continually are on the move. Just like in all math, the difference between a decimal here or there, a plus or minus makes all the difference. Let's see a show of hands for all you guys that go about your day and jobs batting 1.000.

I would correct the original erro, but after that I think you have to leave the plays that were made on "bad money".

Sure, we all make mistakes, but you don't think three days is too long to correct that mistake?

No. Ideally, scores should be double checked at the end of the day. It's a monotonous job that is easy to blow through and not catch the original error (like tying your shoe). Then you have cases where the grading service sends you the wrong score as well. That happens frequently. These things usually get sorted out before 3 days because somebody on the other side will call in that they should have won. If it's an obscure event without much action, that doesn't always apply. The OP didn't specify which league, so I can envision cases that never get the correct score.
