How is it "taking a shot" if the man booked a posted play? :+cluelessChris@Olympic said:
Lets see when GS is 90 and O/u on CFB is 63
I would say it was taking a shot, Price was put in backwards

BULLSHIT! The man found a vulnerable prop and played it. I doubt he played it for 10 freakin' dimes, so it should be honored.jjgold said:

An 'obvious' mistake should be cancelled and the player that informs them should be rewarded. The problem comes when what is 'obvious' to you, may not be 'obvious' to me and vice-versa! If the bet is made through a phone account and the stores' clerk does not catch it, the bet should stand-on the internet there is no checks and balances to cover this. So we end up debating what is obvious. But most people after seeing the 'correct' line will admit that it was a mistake and therefore voidable.

Most of us know it was clearly a mistake.
Just to be clear, my response had to do with Chris' following remark:
"Love people who take shots, and we catch them"
Chris, it almost sounded as if you guys do this intentionally once in a while just to see who bites........lol
As I said Chris, no offense to you of course,hope you didn't take it the wrong way....
If you're near Orlando swing by Universal Studios and I'll show you some of my creations for the month of October.......:+thumbs-2

This topic has always been disagreed upon by many........
Yes, most will admit when a book posts a "bad line" that is quite obvious, it is clearly a mistake.
However, just because it is a mistake on their part, does it mean that they should not honor wagers that have been made by some that have only merely ACCEPTED THE WAGER THAT WAS OFFERED TO THEM BY SOMEONE ELSE?
Now, many will say that the following is "different", but in all reality, it isn't.....
If you're friend comes to you and say he wants to make a wager with you on the Oakland Raiders @ SD Chargers. He says, "Man, the Chargers are -4 , I'll give you the Chargers straight up and I'll take the Raiders straight up". You then pounce on the bet and accept it with a handshake only to then find out just a few minutes later (like a book does when they post a wrong line) that Ladainian Tomlinson and Keenan McCardell are out with injuries. Do you then have the right to cancel the wager with your friend because you made a mistake? A large majority would say no........
I suppose the biggest problem with this is that it creates an ongoing loophole that will always give books the opportunity to make up rules as they go along......

Yea, and everyone of them would have punted the wager, and some would have thrown you out.<!-- / message -->

Agreed if he did in fact go all in on the bet. However, if he made his typical play (whatever that may be) then he didn't "take a shot". If Olympic lets the play stand as posted the player LOVES Olympic, keeps playing there and all is well. But if the bet is cancelled and the player closes his account, Olympic will lose his action. No winners in that scenario.MCP said:
Good PR has it's price. Olympic would be buying some at the cost of this players wager...

Whne it comes to regular lines, I'll side with the book. Usually easy to tell when a line is clearly off.
BUT when it comes to props, it gets a little less clear. Books reguarly put up props (especially the more exotic ones) that are way off and get pounded. To see a prop where you think to yourself "what are they thinking" is not an uncommon occurence. Technically I guess a book book could think up props and put them up, and then when the line is pounded and they realize they made an obvious mistake in calculating it they could just say "Well it was obviously wrong". Plus many of these props don't really have a frame of reference. Unless other book have similar props up, you can't point to another books lines and say that it was clearly off from the number.

Just as some books have no integrity (very few), there are thousands of sportsbettors that have no integrity (alot).
Anyone who takes shots like this is just like a thief in my book. And when they complain when they are caught, their whining sounds like the guy that gets caught stealing but blames it on the storeowner because the storewowner was "in the bathroom"... Have some integrety.

I don't know CFB enough and I took a look at Pinnacle's line and they have Miami (Ohio) +3. So what was the line supposed to be?
The number of times I blindly followed a poster lead in a sport I'm not too familiar with, I'm glad I didn't get the chance to do it here. Hate to be called a cheat.

it was an obvious bad line, and it was cancelled before it started. nothing wrong with that in my eyes.
i have reported bad lines before and it has run the gamut of just a thank you, to $25 and $50 in my account.
