    BEWARE WHEN PLACING WAGERS WITH “BET365”

    I placed a wager last evening on a “Live” game “ I was following .   BEFORE the start of the 4th quarter, I placed a wager on the game for Neither team to score 15 points in the last quarter.  Which resulted in a win.    I awoke this morning to find they changed the odds to the bet after the game result.   I have placed many wagers of this nature before with them.  And even a very small one last night,  which “won” but wasn’t downgraded.    I can only assume it was because of the amount of that wager was only  small.   I made my large bet ($100) and it was CONFIRMED only to wake up and see they were $1200 short of my winnings and they changed the odds to the bet after the outcome of the game.  

    I spoke with lady and she said through text  “I do apologise for the error, however this is within our terms and conditions that prices will be revised if errors are identified. I understand the bet was placed before the 4th quarter, however the odds at the time you placed your bet were incorrect due to an error, therefore we would look to revise these.”

     

    Its amazing that my bet I placed for $5 was ok to go through and had 10x my original wager.   She did try to offer me money to add to my account which would be withdrawable (no where near the outcome.   I politely declined.    Anyone using this site should be made aware of this.  I have been with them a long time and made this type of bet many times before.  Had I of known in the past that if my wager won, I wouldn’t get what I bet on.   I would not have wagered any of them.

    What is your problem?

    Of course +1400 was an obvious error.

    I've had odds changed on me before too. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. It sucks but you won't usually get one over on these guys.

    This is called "taking a shot" at a bad line and it will get you banned from the book.  It is completely unethical and the book will never let you profit from it when they notice it.

    Books have thousands of different lines.  It is inevitable a bad line slips through.  Have some integrity and don't take a shot at it.

    in this situation, the book should have cancelled the bet, not change the odds and grade it as loss or win, whatever i agree to the odds when i place, the outcome should be like this, when i risk it, i know i risk it for odds 14, not 3
