    I'm friends with my bookie.  He has a website and does it full time.  But instead of depositing crypto up front, he extends credit.  Our settle up limit is $10k cash.  I've paid him 3 times and never collected (surprise!). 

    So yesterday, I was 3-3 in cfb.  When I logged into my account, one of my winners was $110 to win $100 instead of my standard $1,100 to win $1,000.  I have made daily bets with him in baseball for a year and a half and my unit is always a dime.  (example:  risking $2,300 to win $1,000 on a -230 favorite or risking $1,000 to win $1,350 on a +135 dog).  He knows this.  He knows I'm a dime player.

    I can see how this could go the other way.  If the bet had lost, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have said a word.  Should I put the pressure on him and ask if he can re-rate my $100 win to a $1,000 win?  I am inclined to not ask.  FWIW, I have no suspicion that he or his software changed the bet after I made it... I was high AF when I logged in to place the bet.

    Would you ask to have the bet re-rated?

     Are you saying I don't ask to have it re-rated?  That's the way I'm leaning, honestly, just knowing if I had lost, I wouldn't be whining.  He'll know that too.  I think it's just more bad luck for me.

    Sorry man! I wouldn’t ask. At least it was a winner.  Lesson for next time to double check. I always go straight to my open wagers to see if it’s there.
    Had you noticed could have been easy to undo by adding to your wager.

    @UnVaxxed1

     If you entered the bet as 110 to win 100, the mistake is on you and just move on. Why risk a friendship over something you did? It's not worth it. Just do a better job of double checking your bets before submitting.

    @UnVaxxed1

    Some tough love on this one. Especially since you're smart enough to be "UnVaxxed" and hit a parlay. But software doesn't lie and there's little chance someone changed your bet on the back end of the website. Why would they? You messed up when you placed it. I've done the EXACT same thing and just had to suck it up more than once (huge disappointment when I realized it too). It's better to stay in good graces with your banker than look bad by saying "I didn't realize.....". Pay closer attention, don't be in a hurry and always screen shot your wagers. If you don't have a screen shot, you have zero evidence and like you say, if you would have lost,,,,you wouldn't be saying "anything".

     Always ask.  If you get drunk and go off the rails and up your wager size and get slaughtered . Let them know.  Ask for a break. They see the pattern. And most will work with you.  If they are a hard ass find a new book. These are the times you find out hiw he does business.

    @UnVaxxed1

     I don’t know if this helps but my situation was reversed I bet 2500 instead of my usual 250 and lost and had never bet anything more than 250 and he adjusted it to a $250 loss, good luck whatever you do my opinion it couldn’t hurt to bring it up.

    Same type relationship for me (actually second generation book, started with his pop) FWIW I would ask...at least in my situation it wouldn't hurt. Over the decades there's been a situation or two where I ask for an adjustment and it was granted. For things that were totally my fault (Once exactly the situation proguy described lol).. If he doesn't want to, he will give some bs reason about who he has to answer to and we will go about our way... no harm. BOL to you clover
