Ive never thought about mistaken lines. How does a bookie legally resolve something like that if someon

do you mean if the lines are the wrong way around? if so I guess you failed to read the t&c's upon sign up like a lot of ppl do. if it's a palpable line error they reserve the right to cancel your bet at any time if they see fit.
 
i guess i was thinking if it actually got paid out after the results came in, but i guess its not likely it would get that far.

Some books will also close your account on you if they suspect you jumped on it knowing it was erroneous. And in the case of 5Dimes, they also throw in some threats and name calling for good measure, from what I've heard.
 
they usually realise way before the event starts, especially on any popular sport at a large bookmaker. so you'd need a fairly low key sport/market to bet on for them not to realise. can't say i remember if I had one settled before or not. but I doubt they'd pay out once they realised.

doubt they would flat out ban you for betting a line error? can't say I've heard of that happening (maybe at 5dimes with that tony dude lol but I got no account there). but yeah for sure it's going to be a possible red flag for them with arbers and the like. betting lines like that is taking the fast track to limitations and maybe then possible account closure. there's just no reason to bet these lines unless it was an honest mistake on the players part.

i assume that has never happened to a legitimate online bookie before, but i feel like if the results are in before they cancel your bet, legally, they would have to pay you.

Tony has definitely banned people with no warning before, but you're right, most books probably wouldn't.

Benson looks small... think koreshkov can pull of the upset.

I think Andrey is being underestimated for a number of reasons, while Benson is given a little too much credit in this match. I truly thought the odds would be closer to Ben being like -200 tops.
 
Son of a bitch just realized Bellator starts an hour early tonight (8pm est). Gonna miss a fight or two :(

Holloway is huge, ripped and has never been KOed. The over 1½ at +175 against MVP is a great line. 1u on that. Tempted to put 2u on it.

+1 on the tail. I like this o1.5 a lot.
 
Bendo is 1.45 (-222) at marathonbet for anyone that wants it.

I'm sure Unibet will but I can't stand using the site it drives me nuts. I find it so non user friendly for lb. Let me know if you have any joy!

it will vary from bookie to bookie but the vast majority will state in the terms and conditions they can cancel bets that include line errors at any time, upon signing up to them. it must happen now and again with bigger bookies bearing in minds the thousands of markets they offer each day. maybe people on betfair forum http://community.betfair.com/ or sportsbook review http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/ will remember specific events it's happened on. also I heard of a few times that they mixed up the names of the selections in a market and had to void all bets(might of been on an exchange tho), and I remember a ufc card a while ago where both nog brothers were fighting and some bookies had the names the wrong way round as they are near identical haha, I think the bets got voided then and lines reset, someone else may remember more than me on that though.

yeah canceling the bet is one thing, but not paying after the results are in i think would be another. You would have to legally prove that the line is erroneous to do that, which I think may be difficult to do.

Oh I wasnt aware of this software. People host pirate streams on it?

Its amazons firestick but with kodi added to it. Just a plug and hdmi lead that plugs into your tv. Great for streaming movies and sky sports albeit in my experience sky sports can be hit and miss. When fightpass was playing up i watched the fox prelims on there with no problems. I will have to hunt but im sure spike will be on there.
