Nine/MyBookie has a really bad line up right now...

Iceman · Apr 23, 2006

Houston Astros -1.5 +175 is WAY WAY off the normal number (around (+110 or +120). They fall asleep behind the wheel there quite a bit and it may stay up a while.

Enter at your own risk (I left it alone) or someone should call them and maybe (I doubt it) they will reward you.

they best start getting their wits about themselves. if they continue to keep this weakness up they should be prepared to honor the bets that come in on it rather than cry shot taking.

you dont see pinny or wsex constantly with the errors because they are top notch books that dont fall asleep at the wheel.

I dont like Nine/My bookie, but if people bet this line, Nine has every right to cancel this wager. Then again, Nine seems to fall asleep at the wheel alot......

Iceman · Apr 23, 2006

they actually move the number to +165 which is still WAY WAY higher than other shops.
They should honor it now or maybe they have some software that moves number when they get one sided on a game.

The_Man · Apr 23, 2006

if i had funds posted up with them (would never happen), i would bet that book houston would win by more than 1.5 at +165, with oswalt on the mound vs maholm for pitt and not consider it taking a shot. have not even looked at openers anywhere yet for tomorrow. is it that far off everyone else?

wil, if someone bet that bookie that houston would win by more than 1 1/2 runs at +$1.65 oswalt/maholm, would/should that receipt stand as a go?

wilheim · Apr 23, 2006

The line is not that far off..

Absolutely that is a bet and I will be glad to help anyone who has a problem with that bet (should it win)..

will I made the bet and they cancelled it. Now what. I am not one to rock the boat but this seems a little unfair after their first move from +1.75 to 1.65

Iceman · Apr 23, 2006

Will/Mod's- Nine.com cancelled my Houston -1.5 +165 bet. Can you get it back

last nite you said that they shouldn't cancel my bet because the mistake wasn't that bad. Well they did. I am not one to rock the boat but they moved line from +175 to +165 than cancelled my bet which I think is unfair. Agreed?

This is going to get interesting......

Dubpoet · Apr 23, 2006

HA HA! you should have bet it elsewhere. As it was a winner.

Just an idea. At Olympic when a bad line is posted and cancelled they miss it if you parlay it.

wilheim · Apr 23, 2006

Ice man please email me at wilheim@therx.com with the exact details and I will call them. I will need your account number.

wil..

Iceman · Apr 23, 2006

will do in the next few minutes.

Dub poet _ the bet is for todays game

HellonWheels · Apr 23, 2006

Ice be prepared they are going to claim the following text as their fail safe for the cancellation....

Suprised you said this, wil ... because a +165 line on a bet that should be in the +100 to -110 range is DEFINITELY a bad line, and Nine.com has the right to cancel the bet.

Do gamblers also have the right to cancel a bet that was "DEFINITELY" a bad line if the bet loses?

I was basing that on the assumption that the line moved from plus 75 to plus 65 cents which had to mean they were aware of what number line was being dealt at. I will stand corrected if for some reason the play by Ice man is not honored. I am waiting for a call back from a Nine.com wagering manager. I will report back what I hear.
