I was just wondering if it should be counted as a win or if he shouldnt even been able to bet it. By the way I am friends with both him and his bookie.

And it was put in yesterday morning around 9am . We just cant figure out if he was allowed to make the bet seeing that there was only one game left or not.

Any player who is with a certain book/bookie shouldn't take advantage of a situation like that...doesn't mean anything good on either side. Everything should be fair. If your friend saw a bookie make that long and knew it was wrong...he should say something...if not things could get into a heated argument or get ugly. The wager should be cancelled. What I don't understand is how does the bookie not know?

I told him that he should discuss it with him what they think and go from there but what I dont get is the line is pretty high but if you pull the odds up, in the top left corner it says updated 10-3-12: Odds to win the Al West Division and got all the teams in the division in it but only got odds on the rangers who were im pretty sure 7-2 and oakland who was 10-1.
