Hey, can you guys help me understand how are line errors determine?
Please provide more details as to your query.
Just general curiosity because I been hearing a lot of different interpretations of the rules surrounding “line errors”
If the odds were incorrect, if the listed favorite/underdog were incorrect, etc.
Hi Primetime1, if you are referring to Live Betting you can refer to this link here.Section 7
If you are referring to a General Sports and Event Betting Rules, you can refer to this link. Section 12 : A bet shall be deemed invalid when: * It is a non-genuine bet on an obvious line error.
A line error in the context of betting refers to a mistake made in the odds or line (the point spread, moneyline, or total) set by the bookmaker or sportsbook for a particular bet. This error can occur for several reasons, and it usually results in incorrect or inaccurate odds being offered to bettors.
Here are a few common types of line errors:
Incorrect Point Spread: This could involve a mistake in the spread set for a game, where a team might be given an incorrect handicap. For example, a sportsbook may list a point spread of -3 when the correct spread should have been -6.
Incorrect Moneyline: This occurs when the moneyline odds are wrong, offering bettors favorable or unfavorable odds due to a mistake. For instance, a team that should be a +150 underdog might be listed as -150, which would make betting on that team more attractive than it should be.
Incorrect Total (Over/Under): The total for a game could be misposted, such as listing an over/under of 10 when it should be 9.5, which can give bettors an unintended advantage.
Typographical Errors: Sometimes, a line error might be as simple as a typographical mistake, such as a decimal being placed in the wrong position or a team being assigned the wrong odds due to a clerical mistake.
Consequences of Line Errors:
Void or Cancelled Bets: Most sportsbooks will void or cancel any bets made on a line that has been posted in error. They may offer to refund stakes or re-set the line to its correct value.
Odds Adjustments: If a line error is discovered after bets are placed, the sportsbook may adjust the odds or spreads, and in some cases, bettors might be offered the option to accept the adjusted odds or have their wagers canceled.
In short, a line error refers to any discrepancy in the odds or betting lines that are mistakenly set by the sportsbook, and typically the bookmaker has the right to correct these errors in line with their betting rules.
Interesting because i was giving losses on 2-3 line error over the last 2 weeks. I provided proof of live wager line errors immediately after I discovered and still had my wagers graded as a lost instead of a void, cancel, or adjusted amount.
The lines were obviously wrong and I bought it moderators and the customer service reps attention and still couldn’t get line errors void of my wagers. A customer service agreed with me and still graded the line errors on wagers a lost.
What were the line errors exactly?
Ref. 24112023296946
This was a table tennis match. This game had 2 scores left when I when I took it was still open and taking wager almost 30 mins after the game ended. The line never moved as if the game hasn’t started. https://m.aiscore.com/table-tennis/match-jaroslav-dohnal-zbynek-vyskocil/xvkjds825xpc8k9
The favorite was up 7-3 in the 3rd set with the favorite up. An accurate line would have been around 60, but the line never moved and stayed opened nearly 30 mins afterwards. I bought this to you guys attention immediately while the game was still live and still was graded a lost.
KLINGENBACH VS BAD SAUERBRUNN (a soccer game) on my Ref. 24112019732143. This game was marked a lost before the game ended. I bought this to you guys attention as well. I noticed something strange about the game. The score was 0-0 and only last for 20-30 min, but the over/under was set at 2.5 with favorable odds. No way this was an accurate line for a soccer at 0-0 with 20-30 mins left in the game. This game was started on October 24th and contiuned on November 5th(they played the final 20-30 min). I had to reach out one of the teams on their official instagram to find out what happened with this game.
The table tennis game actually sounds like a scoreboard issue rather than a line error.
With regard to the soccer game, it may have been marked as a loss prematurely due to the information coming in that it was over, this would have been changed should the wager have won.
The line on the table tennis game never moved. Regardless of the scoreboard the line was still inaccurate. Every other site had the line set below 60.
Are you acknowledging that the soccer line was inaccurate? Because that line was wrong too.
I bought this to you guys at the time it happened so that you guys could catch it in real time. These lines were errors based on the rules.
I have no idea regarding the lines i’m afraid, this is the first time of seeing this.
I do believe it was escalated to the sports team though.
It was and it was graded a lost. Disappointing because based on the rules provided these are obvious line errors that should have been voided. I wrote you guys in real time so yall would have a chance to fix this for me and other players.
Based on the rules, I have no idea how the sports team came to those conclusions. It was obvious and easy to catch.
I sent messages to the moderators at the time of both wagers while they were live.
A line error regarding odds would typically be down to the sports team.
If a line is offered when it shouldn’t be, or when the odds haven’t updated for example.
The odds for both of these lines never changed.
