I once made about 2k on a mistake half time line in NBA basketball. I wanted to be discreet and try to make the payout smaller, but I just couldn't help myself.
I also made money off other mistake lines, but this was over five years ago. I was surprised what I got away with because it was a reputable sportsbook which was The Greek. I know at some point they never made the mistake again, but it was fun while it lasted.

They cashed it but I believe it was a mistake in the line being set that way
I can't believe they cashed it even though they knew it was a mistake. Almost every sports book has the right to void wagers and a mistake line would be one of those times.
Congrats on cashing!

I was also at GVR and I mistakenly took the Ravens -2.5 when it was 10-0 on this in-game wagering as I just assumed the line would be + 3 or +2.5. Immediately after placing the wager I looked at my ticket and saw it was actually a " - " and the manager at GVR refused to allow me to void the wager because the game had already restarted back up. Do I have anything I can do here guys or just let it go?
Unfortunately you can't do anything about it because the game had restarted.

Like I said earlier in the thread.. you could have won that wager if the ravens scored a TD on the last possession.., there's nothing you can do right now.. just be careful in the next one you do or you could have just bet +2.5 pats and paid juice... sucks bro..

look at it like this... the oddsmakers were so confident that the game would end up close to the original spread and they almost beat you if the ravens didn't settle for a fg.. Im just saying the oddsmakers were confident in there lines.. and it was really close.. think about that..

So as I went to bet using the in-game wagering when the Patriots were up 10-0 my bookies line for the game was...
Ravens - 2.5 Patriots + 2.5
Sketchy? Yes?
It was a mistake.. The right line at that time was NE -2.5...
Your ticket would be void because of wrong line !!
Now, let's say you played the correct in-game live wagering line of
NE -2.5.... You would have lost cause the final score is Balt 31-NE 30..
When NE was leading 30-21 the live line was NE -8.5...
That means NE has to win by 9 pts at the final score...
Whoever don't understand this has never placed an in-game live betting in their life... Cause they would have lost money when they thought they've won !

Day-trader, even though the game worked out where people could have cashed on a mistake line, that doesn't mean the line they posted when the score was 10-0 wasn't a mistake. It clearly was as two people have said as much, and I was keeping track of the game all night and at no time was it NE +2.5 when the score was 10-0. The spread was -3 New England and the money line was -215.

I don't think they would have cashed that... they don't give free money away... the manager would have voided it and said NO ACTION... these people are not the salvation army...

Since the line was clearly a mistake why should I suffer and Padres succeed when i had the correct play? I will never gamble with Station casinos again after this I took quite a hit on THEIR mistake. 1,000 down the drain.
I think the fact you immediately noticed the mistake would normally allow for you to be able to cancel your wager, but it would have had to happen at that time, not hours after the game has ended sadly.

No doubt, I completely agree with you which is why his wager should have been been voided. I would have even gone as far as saying maybe they cashed it because it was an insignificant amount, but as Padre put it he pounded it.
All I'm telling you is the line was a mistake as I was on top of it when the score was 10-0 and know both the spread and money line at the time. Either that makes the line I saw at the time as being wrong and a mistake, or his, and based on the line he got and the one I gave you, I'm pretty sure his was the incorrect one.
His book even told him the line was a mistake smh. No idea how he ended up getting paid lol.

Seriously so disappointed over this having the correct play only to be screwed over by their error and refusing to correct it is mind boggling
At the end of the day as Baldies said it's on you to make sure the line you are seeing is what you want to wager on which means paying attention the +/-. I have been in your situation many times and lost my money, and even given the same reason that they can't void because the game had restarted already.

So it was a mistake. Sucks bro. That could cost them a lot. I can't believe they did that.. If they are paying out as padre has claimed on pats +2.5 then it would be basically impossible for you to get a refund. Sorry. Tough one
