for guys that play with locals, i had a quick question.
ever have an issue with mis-posted lines?
after watching the pathetic display put on by Clemson on Saturday, I went to bet the 2H line thinking there was no way that Clemson would continue to play so terrible in the 2nd half after coaching adjustments. The line posted at +7.5 Clemson, which I thought was a bit odd considering they were down by 24 to an unranked NC State team, but I didnt think twice and put my bet in. Clemson ended up squeaking it out and stayed even with NC State in the 2H so I won my bet. I logged in and checked my bet history and it was showing my 2H bet as a winner. I log in today to check my record for the weekend, and the bet went all Keyser Soze and its as if it never existed. After doing some research on vegasinsider, I was able to find the historical lines and saw that most books had the 2H line at -7.5 Clemson, not the other way around. Obviously someone entered it incorrectly in the system, and it wasnt caught until almost a full day (if not 2) later.
Now I know that most books have a standing rule that all bets on obvious mis-posted lines are null and void. I just dont know if this fits the bill as being "obvious". Now my only gripe is that, had Clemson not pulled it out and covered the +7.5, I dont know if the book would have credited me back for the loss and still voided the bet. Have you guys ever had a winning bet voided after the fact? I'm not tryin to pick a fight with my bookie over a $30 bet, but its the principle of the matter.
