So just had an offer that required me to make a $10 same game parlay. Went online, checked the odds, and to me it looked like they had the wrong team favored! So I took the points on the team I thought should be favored and placed the bet. I then thought this is HUGELY +EV, and re entered the same game, but less than a minute later they now have the correct team as favorite.
I am wondering if my bet will be voided? I wonder if there was a flood of bets like mine that triggered someone to look at it? I’ll keep the forum updated.

Was it on Draftkings? They have traditionally good about letting mistakes stand. I'm sure that would change if they had a multi-million dollar exposure on it.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

If it hits I win $27. I don’t think they are very worried. I think I won’t divulge which site. I’m not sure why!

I’m more interested in how it got fixed!? Is there a human that is alerted when unusually high volume of bets Gomes in on one side? Or any number of other possibilities….

Yes, generally when action is lopsided by a lot a manager will get notified.

make sure you get a printed slip. If they messed up the initial - they are at right to void your bet. I hope you win either way...

The bet seems to still be there. It’s for an NBA game on Christmas. I’m getting 3 1/2 points on the Grizzlies instead of laying 3 /2 points.

I received some bonus funds , so I had the following:

400 to collect 2,250, if my "Eagles x Packers" bonus bet wins.
400 to collect 2,144, if my "Giants x Texans" bonus bet wins.

Note: All bets are at the ML

I had $25 free bet last night. Parlayed Utah State bball +7.5 and Avalanche ML. That’s $60 for me! Almost makes up for my Mizzou bets. That’s on me. While watching game they kept mentioning second string playing because so and so isn’t…. Mizzou had gobs of false start and holding penalties on the substitute offensive linemen.
It’s not me, but SOMEONE is making a boatload with all the information on which teams are more decimated by ‘pre NFL’ or ‘transfer portal’ sit outs.

Edit…. Humiliating admission. I have Utah St +7.5 in football, not basketball!!!!! So bet is still open…. So no $60 for me yet…
My biggest single bet today is Bears +8.5. Weather should even things out. Bills 24. Bears 16.

I really like under 40.5 in the Bears/Bills game today.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.
