Was live  betting NBA. $350 to win $300, $350 to win $300 and then one last time same bet but the odds got messed up and during confirmation the odds changed as a mistake and it took $1100 to win $300. This was all during a timeout. They screwed up. 

Looks like a loss so went to bet the other side and they clearly made a mistake as I got 3:1 odds. Layed $300 to win $1200 twice. 

So- after the other side won they cancelled the layoff as they made a mistake in the odds. But they don’t cancel the $1100 to win $309. Clearly the exact same issues- failure to post correct odds and they cancel the wager. But since it was a loss they let it stand. Talked to a manager and they drove me crazy- wouldn’t fix it. Clearly a scam. If the logic is a bet is cancelled if the odds posted are wrong it shouldn’t matter if you are on the winning or losing side.

Live betting is a dangerous game. It’s like entering a market order on a volatile currency exchange.

I’m not your son Joanne. The point is the odds were wrong and they cancelled my winner but didn’t cancel the bad odds loser. It’s not good business. If the practice of cancelling games due to bad odds is house rules, the outcome of the wager should have no effect on the decision. I? will take this to SBR. They owe me $1100.
