Default Is BetJamaica gonna cancel this bet?

Should be interesting to see if I win, if they actually give me the money or if they say its a bad price.

I go on betjm to check the line this morning.. expecting -160 to -180 on the Reds with Harang pitching. To my surprise, the game opened at -127. VERY LOW line...

So then I put a wager on it...

Wager Type: Money Line
Wager Status: Pending
Risk / To Win Amount: $90.44 / $71.21 (USD) Accepted 9/13/2007 10:18 AM - EST

Sport / Period: MLB Baseball / Game
Line:
Cincinnati Reds 9/13/2007 12:35 PM - (EST)
-127
Pitchers: K Wells -R - Must Pitch A Harang -R - Must Pitch
* Game Notes:
Overnight Pitching - K Wells for A Wainwright


I just got home to check which way the line moved, cause i figured the Reds would be at least -140 by now and it moved all the way up to -176.

So I check SBRLines and find that it actually changed the line 47 cents 2 minutes after I placed my bet. So its clear that either they realized that it was a **** up, or someone would really hit the line HARD.

SO what do you guys think? Will they give me a win? Or will it be cancelled.

Pinny made a typo, and betjam copied. Did anyone bet at pinny? Did they cancel it? I was wondering how long it would be until they caught their mistake.

Well... they graded it a win. And this is why BetJamaica is the best book there is.

That is why I like to be with them, they are the best when it comes to mistakes, they go ahead and pay it anyways. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else except for Matchbook at this time because of that.

It was a pretty small amount. For them not to pay it would be petty imo. If it were for a few dimes it might have received more scrutiny.

If you are a "recreational" bettor that is prolly true, but otherwise there are at least 10 books with more value out there.
