Placed a wager online with pinny other day, immediately called them to tell them I messed up, plz cancel, well before event began, they said no way.

tonight we get down on a prop at pinny, dubpoet even calls it in and gets a ticket number, I get down on the prop too as do others.

now they cancel it cuz they messed up.

Pinny how bout showing same courtesy to the player if they call in a mistake b4 the event begins.

Now all you pinny worshippers can flame away at me.

Holy...I AGREE with you on THIS one....Although they have there asses covered if you read the fine print...they basically can cancel any bet they want...That being said...if its up on the board and someone VERBALLY acknowledges the bet...as in DUBS case they should be held accountable for ALL wagers made on that bet......Espc. since they wouldn't let you out of a bet...when you called the last time...usually if you ask for a manager they take care of it(at least the few times it has happened to me)

That has happened to me before on both ends. That is why if i every found an extra few thousand in my account, i would definitely NOT tell them about it. There was a thread a while back when someone returned money to a book. Everyone seemed to agree with what he did. While it was the "right" thing to do, it isnt something i would do.

These books are out to make money at our expense and do all they can to win. And if you pick up on a bad line they will be fast to cancel the bet. But if you make a mistake they will rarely if ever correct it.

I have nothing against any book. But if you think these guys could care less about you, you are nuts.

I accidentally placed two wagers with BoDog about a month ago on the same game and same side. I immediately noticed my error. They could see from my history that my standard wager was xxx and this event had two wagers for that amount. They cancelled out one of the bets for me.

If I ever found extra money in my BoDog account, I would make them aware of it and give it back. This book is completely fair in every single way. Paid me over $30K last fall and I had the FedEx tracking number within 6 hours of the payout request.

Ya they saw people pounding the line, which is how they found out about the error.

Also I am assuming the line movement is all done automatically.

Good question. it is to bad that there is not like a 5 min cancel bet period....that one could cancel if it was not within 30 mins of game time ...just a 5 min grace period...but I guess you just have to slow down and look over your bet before you click confirm

Pinnacle has been informed of this issue by me via email. What should the actual appropriate line be?

Looks like they had the wrong guy favored with points. Billups is averging 18.3 PPG in 13 games while Wade averging 28.5 PPG in 10 games during these playoffs. How can Billiup be -6.5 even with plus money?
