Will try to give this situation to the best of my ability and would like input on how it should be handled by the book.
On the original lines page where you click on the wager that takes you to the confirm screen, Holliday was listed at plus 160 against MORNEAU. Down lower on the page he was also listed against Maglio and both were -115. I clicked on the plus 160 line to play him against Morneau. Somehow after this point, which was unkown to me until an email from the book well after the first round was over, that it was graded no action. Keep in mind Holliday won and also beat Maglio for what it is worth. It was graded no action due to the wrong header. The header allegedly said Holliday against Maglio, which was a completely seperate option lower on the wagering screen, which I did not play.
So there are two issues here. One of which, should the customer be responsible to notice a matchup change at the confirm screen? Obviously always look to make sure the odds didn't change or whatever and they didn't. Got my Holliday bet in at the 160, but allegedly, it said Maglio as the opponent when I confirmed. If the customer should not be reasonably expected to, then the bet I thought I was making is a winner as Holliday handled Morneau.
Other issue is if you do assume the customer should catch that, then is how it was then graded fair? There are two issues here. Would this be an obvious bad line situation in something like the home run derby, especially since it was their computer that messed it up? So after the event is over it is cancelled. Assuming it was not cancelled before Holliday and Mags were off and running, how can it be cancelled after the event. Essentially it seems as if the book is taking a free shot, on something caused by their system.
Please let me know what you guys think. I can give any more specifics if I missed something.
