This happened to me today with a book that advertises here...
let me see if I get this straight?
someone booked a bet that was in the bottom of the first inning and now you want to know if it should stand?
My opinion, yes, it should, I took alot of Frisco bets today even up to the mid inning break to try and acommodate everyone I could. The score was 0-0, no reason why not. A little courtesy can go a long way
Of course this has exceptions, like if someone scores, if someone gets injured, if they want to bet the under and 3 outs are already recorded, I meant be hesitant but in general its just courtesy to let people bet as long as nothing funky is going on..

Halifax they didnt cancel it when they should have is the problem. They cancel bets when they are past posted so this should be no different. What happened was I bet the game.. went to the tv and saw the game had started so I figured it was no bet like always. How can someone bet on a game that has already started? Plus it goes against their own rules. Rule #1 1 Wagers will be accepted up to the starting time (post-time) of the sporting event. This bet was taken five minutes after the game had started which was in the bottom of the 1st. Had I known this I would not have made any bet. Hell I could have took a free shot if my team was up 3 zip. You know damn well they would have canceled it. This should be a canceled bet NO ACTION IMHO.
Huckleberry rules are rules thats why I print them. I dont make them I just abide by them.
They are not
Rule #1 Wagers will be accepted up to the starting time (post-time) of the sporting event.
1. Client is deemed to have accepted all rules by opening an account.
10. Customers are reminded to print all transaction data, payment methods and rules & regulations in order to avoid misconceptions at a later time.
This is what I did.. They have canceled other wagers once the game has started. This should not be any different.

The inconsistency is glaring:
While I agree that CG is probably only complaining because he lost the wager, and thus, he's unlikely to elicit any sympathy, a rule is a rule. If the book has a policy of deleting past-post wagers consistently, then that policy shouldn't be abrogated when a line mistakenly left up too long ends up benefiting the book, rather than screwing them over.
To me, this is eerily similar to the incident I had several weeks ago...in which the majority ruled against me. I (mistakenly!) took a line with a +1255 line, that should have had a line of +125. The game won and the book paid up. Four days later, when I requested a payout, they wanted to cancel the bet. I thought that was very shady...
So now decide, y'all. If you think CG is not entitled to getting his money back, then in essence, what you're saying is once a book accepts a wager, they have to honor the wager. If that's the case, then they should have let me keep the +1255..and they should also let all winning past-post bets stand too.
Unlikely that'll ever happen.

Slim I didnt bet the under but good point. What if i did? That could be considered taking a shot. This was not the case. Im not here to get no love man. People here know who I am. Im not hiding anything.
A lot of books take bets on baseball, especially big games, after the first pitch is thrown. It is up to the linemaker to take the game down with the phone clerks and on-line. I will venture in this case nothing of any consequence happened in the top of the first and the book was getting heavy action so they continued to take action. You saw the line up, made a play, the soft-ware or clerk (if you called it in) took the bet, if you won you would have been paid. IMHO. To cry now, that you would not of got paid is wrong. Live with your bet.

I have been on both sides of the fence at 5dimes. I ACCIDENTLY past posted on a fight and was only going to make $50 anyways. LOL. The fight was in Germany and I didn't realize it was over. My guy won and they took there $50 back. I also past posted on a over/under of a bet. The fight was tape delayed and I didn't realize it. I lost and took the loss like a man. I didn't contact them because it would have been stupid for me to think I should get my $$$ back. I made the bet and lost. Take your loss and move on
Cuban who is the book? Maybe the shrink can talk to them for you. Guys im one dude that lives by the rules. Their rules state what cg is fighting for. What did he do wrong? This man figured his bet was off as soon as he went to the tv. THE GAME HAD STARTED PEOPLE Maybe if cg has a history of past posting sports wagers ok. If not, then I feel the book should make it right.
