Greetings all,
I'm on this forum for one reason....To ask all bookies that do not have the bad line rule (or who are willing to ban it) to come forward. The bad line rule simply states that a bookie has the right to "no action" any wager in which "an obvious" erroroneous line has been posted. This RULE HAS NO PLACE IN SPORTS BETTING. My personal experience resulted in me attempting to go for a middle using 2 bookies. It resulted in one bookie voiding my bet and having me sided on one team with the other book. I wound up losing $5500. This bad line rule gives a bookie unlimited outs when they get heavy action on one side. It gives the bookie too much control over voiding wagers. IT CONTRADICTS THE OLDEST RULE IN SPORTS BETTING THAT ALL BETS ARE FINAL!!!!! Instead, they could just email you saying they put up a bad line and void all your bets. I AM ASKING ALL SPORTS BETTORS TO UNITE WITH ME AND DEMAND THIS RULE BE REMOVED. Who wants to place a bet on a game and GET A CONFIRMATION that the bet is final (on the internet or over the phone) and wake up the next morning only to find the bet was VOIDED. We sports bettors spend time in handicapping a game. I myself am also a middle bettor and in the rare case I find a good middle, I am never sure the bet will be final. THATS BULL****! BOOKMAKERS SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THEY PUT UP A BAD LINE!!!! Plain and simple. Just as we handicappers take responsibility when we come up with our stats to place a bet. A perfect hypothetical example is me loving the sixers -7. I place 5 dimes on them. Couple of minutes later I realize that I did not factor Allen Iverson's inability to play due to injury. My numbers now tell me that the sixers should have been -2 instead. It was an "OBVIUOS" error on my part. AM I ALLOWED TO ASK THE BOOKIE TO WITHDRAW MY BET!!!! NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!!!! I made the error, I TAKE THE HEAT. Plain and simple. Just as when bookies make an error, regardless of how obvious it is, the bet should still be honered. In CLOSING I AM reiterating my plea for all bookies to come forward (on this thread) who will always honor a bet and who have no exceptions to the rule that all bets are indeed final. It is rare when a bookie makes an error and alot of you bettors may not relate to me. BUT When it happens to you you'll be as irate as myself.

Anyway I received a very nasty email from there bm, Rick Calling me a cheater, and I should have known it was a bad line. Ok fine, I should have, but why was this offered almost everyday?? I honestly did not know what I was even betting on, I thought it might have been the overtime period. The point is, Why am I the cheater, cause they offered up this bet?? It severed a perfectly good relationship I had with this book. Cause obviously I was not going to play there after there allegations. You know how much effort it takes to fix this? a proof reader! Its that easy, and i know it will be fixed eventually. Its the way it is cause bettors put up with it. Just as the bettors who always bet these give us a bad name, the books who are often voiding bets and offering bad lines should get a bad name. If you don't like your line, DON'T OFFER IT!! Also I never have heard of books taking mistaken bets back!! Chillin, which books are these???
