Please help with tonights cancelled game

Greg4567 · Oct 12, 2003

Guys--I need the help of seasoned gamblers. I am still somewhat new to this offshore thing.

I bet a 3 team parlay with the Red Sox, Seattle, and Seattle over. I bet it after the late games, but before the Red Sox got cancelled. They then cancelled the game. The book WOULD NOT let me cancel the bet, even though none of the lines had moved. They just told me I had a 2 team parlay now. Is that right, or should they have let me cancel the bet? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That is what most books would do. That is right.

You have a 2 teamer. It's the same thing as if you bet a 3 teamer and 1 game pushes. It then reverts to a 2 teamer.

You need a Seattle TD and maybe they would go for 2 to get a 6 point lead. Probably not, but maybe. I dont remember what the total was anyway because I didnt play the total just Seattle - 3 1/2. Wasnt it about 43 ?

Some books will cancel a bet at your request, but most will not.

congrats partyboy, weeks big winner. Good call only missing by 1.

Yeah Greg, most books will not cancel a play unless they want to. They should have cancelled if you asked and nothing had changed, but most wont.
