Default Re: When a sportsbook offers an obviously mistaken line....

Does the fact it was performed on an exchange rather than at a sportsbook make a difference? I'm fairly certain however that the offered lines was from the book itself and not another trader.

I looked through the rules at the site and it says that a bet will not be cancelled once it has been matched. I assumed it was another trader, I didn't realize that the book put up any of the action.

I put what I had on it, and then I went to get more funds. And by the time i got them there the line was off. But my bet is still in.

They took down all the action, assuming we're talking about the same wager -- Indianapolis ML +820

Yes it is. I did a screen print for verification.

Ok i'm confused now, is your bet on or off?
Mine is still on. I was wondering because mine is a smaller amount maybe they will let it go because it is my first bet at the site.

My bet is still logged for the moment. I have been in contact with a gentleman named Mark in the Live Help Wager dept.

From Live Help

Mark : It appears a customer has put up the line incorrectly
Mark : It appears that one of our marketmakers has had a problem

I believe Mark was incorrect in saying "the customer put up the line incorrectly" because all prices offered for Indy on the money line were +100+ (in other words, 3 separate market-makers could not have made the same mistake), otherwise he wouldn't have corrected himself. Based on my 2 years of experience with Tradesports, I think it's safe to assume one of two things: 1) matchbook themselves were the "market-makers" who put up the numbers, or 2) Misassigned Houston and Indy to the wrong lines (literal lines, not lines as in odds). They told me they'd get back to me within a half-hour but it's now been almost an hour and a half now.
