Made a WU deposit and when the amount is posted to my account, I placed a bet and won.
Then come to find out that bookmaker has placed my winnings on hold because WU deposit was put on hold. So I called WU and found out that they have actually cancelled my deposit.
My big worry now is, what will happen to my winnings? Will Bookmaker let me deposit the money thru some other means and let me keep my winnings?

Sad to say your winnings will be forfeited.  Every offshore book would do that.  Next time use money gram.  Sorry for your agony.  I'd be madder than a dog with rabies if it happened to me

but its not my fault that WU cancelled the transfer. Any chance they let me do a deposit again or deduct from my winnings?

There is zero chance of deducting from your forfeited winnings.  Just accept lesson learned and focus on tomorrow's games.  You trying to claim innocent victim ain't gonna help your cause.  If you let this linger it will mess you up more.

I agree. WU sucks and it sounds like whatever book you're using sucks as well

Bookmaker should allow you to keep your winnigns as long as you send them the money that was blocked. WU/MG are long gone now.  Credit card/debit card and bitcoin is pretty much it.

Listen unintelligent little kids, boomaker and 5dimes have enough backing that you can take them each for a million tonight and they wouldn't budge. They're much safer than some street bookie.
