Re -deletion This e-mail serves to notify you that your wager/s taken on ATP AIG Open Tennis Championship, sets betting between Ferrer vs Potro, Juan Martin Del Potro +1 1/2 sets has been cancelled due to line error.

Pretty obvious line error, given Del Potro was the tournament favourite.

Pretty standard stuff.

As far as if anything can be done: if recent experience is any indication, if the bets were cancelled after the event began, you could file a complaint with SBR and they might persuade Greek to grade your bet using a line more in keeping with reality.

But if it was cancelled before the event began, no, I don't think anything can be done. It's a standard application of a standard rule. When you play a line like that, you have to understand that there is only a very small chance it will ever be a live bet.

Wow lol..+1.5 SETS instead if -1.5 that´s crazy.

I would kick your ass OUT, be happy that you are allowed to stay with the Greek..
You took a shot on a bad line that jumps into everyones face several times, and even had the nerve to kinda bet the opposite side at the same book.

UNREAL that you ask what can be done, some of those arbers are lights out..

I feel the only complaint here would be by TheGreek because you bet into a bad line sir.
