I just had the same thing happen on that bet:

Date settled:
Jan 23, 2011 7:11p

Single #203040666 (Placed by Web) Football - IN PLAY (Game) Point Spread NFL FOOTBALL (9305) New York Jets +11½ (-150) Sun@3:30p	Canceled
Risk US$ 81.00 to win US$ 54.00

I play poker and bet there and will be closing my account. I hope they enjoy the $54. I will enjoy leaving.

Any respectable book doesn't let the bet process if play has begun...

Bodog Sucks..don't use them

Try TheGreek.com best book nobody uses but me. Best bet options for parlays and teasers and easy to use. never had a problem and easy to deposit and get paid. My money posted 10 minutes after I called with the western union number every time I've made a deposit in the last 2 years.

Unfortunately, this is what you get with Bodog.

Its just standard operating procedure there.

Unbelievable. Lesson learned. I just played there because it was the easiest for me to start playing poker as an american. Are all the other sports betting sites easy to get going on if you are in the United States?

Bodog is a marketing success. They are not a good book for diehard players.

Did they Cancel it Immediately or did they Wait till after the Game was Over ? I dropped them for doing that to me in 07, I use TheGreek, BetUs & Sportsbook.coms

cannot wait for bodog becky to come in this thread and blow smoke screens and tell you sorry you are still screwed.

You would think just once they would see this as an opportunity to make a paying customer happy and just give you the ka ching with a warning that the wager was posted after the play started and all of covers would think differently about them.

But they won't. they suck and that money is GONE-GUARANTEED.

Go to Matchbook. The live ingame betting is great and if someone leaves the bet open its their own fault.....

They waited until the game was over, and emailed me telling that it was cancel. What the fuck!

And maybe is could be argued, just maybe, they missed a payout today.

I play in games often. Books often keep a line up when a game is in progress and adjust accordingly. This is more prominent in titles games like today and the Super Bowl. That argument holds zero water. They screwed up their hold on the ingame and are making you the scapegoat.

Ya, they waited awhile after the game ended. I could have understood if I got this email right after the bet, but they waited to see if they would lose the bet first. Crazy

Didn't you rant about them few days ago ? And yet you are still with them. There is no one to blame but yourself. End of story.

I once placed a horse race bet 2$ to win and 2$ to place, yes 2 dollars and they came back saying that they were sorry but that I placed the wager after the race had been raced???? I had a couple of hundred dollars in my account and I closed it and it took me more than 3 months to get it back, Bodog

I need Lou's help on this. This is not a legitimate way to do business. If the Jets didn't cover +11.5, they would have graded my bets as a LOSS, instead of CANCELLING them.
