Hello, I placed a live wager on some Euro Basketball the line was -160 upon my original submission and after opted me to accept the new line change at -220 I accepted the line change. Upon accepting the line change and awaiting for acceptance of the wager it went down to -120 and a 7 point swing in a matter of 20 seconds. There was a huge delay on these lines not even keeping the scoreboard in mind as Im away the scorebord is just there but shouldnt be counted on. These line changes are unreal and really make me feel as if something just isnt right with the system here. Very fishy, as with any line change I should also have the option to accept the wager if it changes in between submittal and acceptance not accepting my original wager. I took a screenshot immediately after my wager was accepted and the line change from -220 to -120 I really question the integrity of this sportsbook now as its been the third time ive had something weird like this happen and feel the wager should have been not accepted and I should have had the option to continue my wager with such a line change.

I have gambled thousands here. Im being honest there was a huge delay here. This line should not have been accepted. There was a huge delay here. I even tried closing out my screen in between acceptance of my wager as I saw this line change before it was even accepted. I was not succesfull…
Live lines are always changing and in basketball the lines would move even faster as opposed to other games with the constant back and fourth of scoring.
Do you mean there was just a delay in the betslip in regards to the wager showing placed?
yes there was a delay in the betslip and what the wager was placed at and the value of the line changing. I should have been notified of this change as it occured in between submittal and acceptance and if i would like to continue my wager at the new value. Which I would have not accepted.
Matty, this has been a ongoing issue with Bovada. When line changes in opposite direction, bet will always come back that line has changed. But if you place it and it actually go the other way towards players side it will accept it
Is Bovada planning to have “accept all changes” option?! Many sites have it and that would really help especially when doing parlays with multiple live games
I made an attempt of stopping this wager as i saw the line change and sudden spurt of points on a scoreboard in a matter of seconds… which also is odd… there was an honest delay here…
I have experienced this another time also… but did not bring it to Bovadas attention. Yes I have seen this option on other sportsbooks where you can accept all changes in the course of placing a wager. My argument here is the wager should have not been placed with me given the option to accept the change. I also see there was a huge delay here on the live game. I hope I can get some kind of resolution as Im just being an honest player here I enjoy the platform here at Bovada.
I’ll look into this and update you as soon as possible
Thank you Matty
Love how when the line moves in my favor(kidding)… when the bet is processing and it will take the lower odd… like from +400 to +500 … This has literally cost me 100s . Why cant I accept or not accept line moments in my favor when making a bet?
This has happened many, many times to me and I still don’t understand why Bovada is one sided on these. I’ve lost thousands of dollars due to these line movements that are accepted when it’s in Bovada’s favor, and not accepted when it’s in my favor.
This needs to be changed as other books are not like this.
I have even sent screenshots of the incidents and have not received a response/resolution.
This can happen as its a security measure that as a company was implemented to protect ourselves from some who would look to exploit some lines and take advantage.
its the WORST live betting tennis… the game spread completely changed on me…
This was brought up 100x times already. Solution is simple - BOVADA ADD “ACCEPT ALL CHANGES” option. Then people would not complain.
I come accross this issue when doing parlays of multipleive sport events. Almost impossible to place a bet with lines changing
I have noticed when the line changes against your live wager the bet is accepted but when the new line would is a steeper price it says bet not accepted.
PLease explain as I think this is unfair and unjust to the customer
Example: live line ML currently -110 I wager on the team -110 ml and then it jumps to +150 BOvada will accept it at -110
If other way I have a line at +120 but then jumps to -140 bovada will state wager not accepted line changed.
NOT FAIR AT ALL 
Thats not just tonight. That has been for as long as i have been on Bovada. Last year i took screen shots and sent it to the mods but nothing has changed with it
Been that way forever. House always gets the edge
Matty if the line changes in either way the wager should not be accepted.
Thats the bottomline…
Come on man.
I’ve been around longer than any of these people working for bovada and formerly bodog and it has ALWAYS been like this. That said… it doesn’t make it right. If you’re gonna accept it when the line moves the opposite way… as a company… you need to accept it when it moves in players’ favor during the loading process of the bet being placed too. Otherwise you’re just making your clients feel cheated, and rightfully so. It should be illegal.
It just isn’t good business practice. Either do as all the other books do and allow us to accept all or just let all bets go thru. Bovada is scheming by doing this . The house does not need a bigger edge on sports than it already has. That’s why you have the casino. Unless, of course, you all don’t plan on surviving amidst US legalization of sports betting.
As someone who bets esoccer a lot let me tell you theres nothing as uniquely infuriating aa betting a match in the last minute at +350 andcwhile your bet is proceseing the side youre trying to take scores and the bet is rejected . Then 10 minutes later you try to bet another +300 in the last minute , the other team scores while your bet is processing and the bet is accepted just fine
That shit is the worst
