thats my original bet, placed at 153 pm........henry finalized my bet at 213, there were actually 2 guys retired for the visiting wsox at this time, and u can see he asked me "do u want it or not"?
im wondering if they had hit a 2 run homer there, i coulda easily said "nevermind", and now im wondering if this bet wins, will sportsbook.com come back to me and say "the game had already started at 213 pm, when the wager was placed.....
just kind of funny, wondering if any of u have similar experiences with overlimit wagers at sportsbook, or other book.
