So here I am thinking I had a pretty good night with a 2-1 night going. I pull up the account expecting to see a plus next to my daily figure. . BAM -57.

As you can see I put $100 plays on the two plays I have posted in my thread right here at therx.com!

http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=652656

<table id="post6308756" class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td class="alt1" id="td_post_6308756" style="border-right: 1px solid rgb(253, 222, 130);">Bradley -2

Well it looks like I am falling into a trap here but the numbers just don't match up for this game. I had Bradley -5 or so in this game. 1st things first. Harry Marshall has been downgraded to doubtful in this game. He is arguably the best player on the team averaging 14 points per game and with an offense that will struggle against a slow tempo Bradley game taking 14 points out of the equation will make it really tough here.

Indiana St is coming off of a HUGE win against Illinois St in overtime and I can see a small let-down here after that hard fought game. Although the offense was balanced, Marshall had 12 in that game.

Take that out of the scenario, the last 3 games they have lost ATS to Drake, Evansville, and Creighton.

On the other hand take away Bradley's last loss to Creighton by 9, they too beat Illinois St as 2.5 point dogs, Beat Missouri St as 3 point dogs, beat Wichita St as 5.5 point dogs, and beat S. Illinois by 16 as 1 point faves.

I like Bradley to pull away late in a tight game throughout.

I don't really expect you to do anything about it but as you can see there has never been a situation so clear that the bet was put in backwards. 6 minutes later I realized the line would move up and finished out the other 2 units on Bradley.

ugh, after NIU tonight I am just sick and now this.

Like I said I am just fucking around.

I don't expect anything, just posting a mistake all of us have made one time!!!

More laughing at myself.

Betphoenix is a top notch book and NOOOO I would never expect them to pay me.

Geesh people around here are relentless.

Indians all I can say is I play alot of halftime,quarters,etc

Shit you got to move quick on and I have fucked up a bunch.

Shit like 2nd half Under 99 but 3rd quarter over 50 for same game.

Stuff that is obvious. Dont think i have ever got a reversal

Yeah TTP I hear ya. It's just a tough pill to swallow. You cap out games for 3 hours, pick a winner, then you fuck up the easy part!! :lol:

at least you cancelled 40 of it with the second bet but still that sucks. I've never actually made this mistake but it sure would be a good day to log on and find out you accidentally bet the wrong side and won because of it. That is why they def. would not cancel it. If you did make a mistake and win you would not be giving your money back.

Not a dumbass for making the mistake, a dumbass for thinking that betphoenix might fix it for him. I will admit, calling the guy a dumbass is pretty harsh but it is after 9 pm here in CR and Im still at work so please forgive me.

Yeah I hear ya. So fucking disheartening to have happen though.

$210 turnaround tonight on NIU covering the whole game until 30 secs left!

$126 on this mistake.

$336 turnaround tonight. :ohno:

Let me clarify the title is misleading and in no way do I expect them to refund the money as I made clear in the 3rd post.

I had a guy forget to confirm a winning four team dog moneyline parlay over the weekend, so it could have been worse.
