Check this out....I registered just so that I could ask this question.

BoDog's ML:
Texas (+240)
Boston (-280)

BoDog's Alt RL:
Texas (+1.5) (+325)
Boston (-1.5) (-450)


YES, you read that right......WTF?!

Yes, this is obviously an error, those lines are meant for Texas -1.5 and Boston +1.5.

Right, yea...that's what I thought.

But if the bet has been placed....it has to stand, right?

Think they'll honor it or cancel it?

It will be canceled.
I used wake the morning before the rooster crowed.

Trying to take a shot on an obvious bad line? If I was running the book I'd close your account.:youmad:

They posted it...I clicked on it.

It's now been up for like 3 hours.

Is that wrong?

At 5Dimes that would perhaps a possibility but I don't think Bodog will do this.

However, betting on bad lines is usually a mistake as many books will wait to see how the game turns out and then cancel the bet if it won and honour it if it lost, and there's usually not much you can do about that. I don't think Bodog will do such a thing but other books might.

That would suck ass. Hopefully they make a decision before it starts!

You're better off calling them & letting them know that you think it's a bad line. Avoids a lot of problems-and there will be problems.

You serious? What kind of problems?

They won't close my account because of their screwup, will they?

You could very well be labeled as a shot taker. Just call them & avoid the mess before there is one.

Yea that is funny. Bodog will screw you any chance it gets. Hope it pays but betting a bad line is not in your best interest.

Call them and tell them. They may give you free money for pointing out the error. Doesn't hurt to ask, if they don't offer.
Your obviously taking a shot at a mistake line and yes you deserve what you get if you don't do the right thing.

Well, I "did the right thing".

I called, told them what I took.

Dude repeated the line back to me

"Texas +1.5 (+325). That is correct sir, that's what it says." (even though on the main MLB page, Tex +1.5 is (+105).

So, OK....um....Go Rangers!

Ha. The Alt RL is off the board.

My bet is still listed in my "Open Bets"....but we'll see for how long.

Don't believe anyone here about the shot taker crap...Its not like you be 5 g's on it. A place I used to play with a few years ago used to have first team to score in college hoops but it was a max 250 per play. They were behind the real time by like 30 seconds to a minute. and I used to hit for 250 on all the cbb games. It was when Carmelo was at Syracuse..Anyway I got paid and they eventually realized what was happening b/c they stopped doing those props after about 3 weeks
