Was this a bad tennis line?

-135</TD></TR><TR><TD>Opponent:</TD><TD>Julien Benneteau </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>



I could swear it was -235 when I took it and it was -260 to close. Since it may lose I called after Seppi lost the first set and asked if it was bad and was told its good. ???? I said I am sure its bad and want it cancelled. They said its good and the line must have changed when you placed your bet. I wanted it cancelled and customer service said it was a good line but I doubt it.

Seppi may win and if he does and its cancelled then wtf do I do?

Seppi won. Still looking to see if it was a bad line and they better not cancel me after I called.

I saw it at -185 at 5d. Given its a challenger, doesnt take much to drop that line

winner, nice

So you took a shot at what you were "sure" was a bad line, then tried to cancel it after Seppi lost the first set? Then when Seppi won you said you better get paid?

Bush league.

Actually i bet a parlay with seppi. I saw it might be a bad line around the same time he lost the first set. It was then that if a bad line I wanted it cancelled!

So are you going to give the money back now that Seppi won if that parlay hits?

I bet the parlay thinking it was -235 and noticed later, bush man. I just didn't want my book taking a shot at me!

I guess I can see your side too, but you got a line that was much better than what you hoped for, but then you waited until Seppi was losing before calling in to try and get it canceled. That right there is what stinks about this whole thing IMO. Congrats that it won and all, and I'm not saying you purposely waited until Seppi was losing to call, but the fact that that is when the call happened makes this whole story a little iffy. That's how I read it anyway. Either way, winner winner chicken dinner.

I was happy that i saw -260 closing line but wondered if my bet would be cancelled once i realized my -135 line later. I know it was -200 at least when I bet it. On the confirm screen it said at least one line has changed and I glanced at it but didn't notice anything to not place the bet. I saw -260 at post time and noticed it was -135 in my bet when I got my first set loss score update. Yes I was ready to cancell that part of the parlay if it was a bad line and mostly didn't want the book to have me by the balls. If seppi lost they could have graded it a loss bad line and all without my call.

BTW..the whole parlay looks great if Xavier doesnt kill it..rooting for you

Tough Loss on the Spurs +7...why teams foul when they're down 6 with 10 seconds to go is beyond me...


I hope the Lakers lose later today so you don't feel too bad about this parlay...looks like everything else is set to win


Tough break bud hno:
