about 3 weeks ago a friend of mine bet a 2 team baseball parley which if he hit would pay 340 for 100 well the next morning when he check his account the credited his account with 3400 he has not made a withdraw as yet what would you do

For me it would depend on the book. If it's Bowmans, Bodog, SIA, Sportsbetting.com, or sportsbook.com I would keep the money in a flash. If it's Canbet, Rio/Skybook/IIS, Hollywood, or 5Dimes, I would give it back without thinking. Pinnacle and BetWWTS I would have to think about it because on one hand they are fair but on the other hand they have so much $$$ that they wouldn't even notice it.

Good Luck withdrawing

First off I wouldnt have posted here with that info if I was going to try and withdraw the money!! Dont think its not being looked into right now!!! But to answer your question I personaly would call them and tell them what happened. But thats just me, I dont like in any well feeling I have cheated anyone out of money. Also I would check the bet again to make sure that it is what he thought it was. you never know if you played something by mistake and got lucky! gl

YOU INFORM THEM OF THE MISTAKE IF YOU HAVE ANY OUNCE OF DECENCY IN YOU WHATSOEVER!!!!

If you do not care about your own decency and decide to keep the money, this will STILL come back to bite you in the ass twofold if you do not inform them!!!

CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER!

I suggest you sit down and think long and hard about what I just said, for your own good.

let them know fannie....happened to me a few weeks about with WWTS on a way smaller scale...they credited me a win I emailed them they where thankful I was honest and told them....

The could have sent me a cigar at least

I would report it.

That being said, how did a book make a mistake of this magnitude? Was the bet phoned in and thus a clerk error? If this bet was placed online and thus a software error, I'd have some serious concerns about the book's software.

I WOULD REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY...

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...

This is just a hunch but I would have your friend "hehe" check his play and see if he didnt play it for a dime since they dont manually grade tickets anymore, and more than likely if there was a hiccup with the software it would have graded every parlay that way
