    Did you check the box with this pitcher must play... or did u play a run line bet or total?


    cause my bet with dodgers is live, and it was a action play, i didnt select pitchers only...

    if yours was a moneyline action play i would change sportsbooks cause thats shady **** if thats what they did...

      I had bet normally as I always do, I took the mets -133 @ about 8 - 12 minutes to game time and they canceled @7:59 pm So my bet was canceled an hour later :puke: who would have known a pitcher change at the last minute I didn't nether did they, BUT AN HOUR LATER YOU CANCEL ! BULL**** ten fifth-teen minutes ok but don't say 4 innings into the game, it was't a large bet and I knew they mentioned about pitchers and their starts in an email BUT DON'T TELL ME AN HOUR LATER **** them. ha mets win LOL

        If you selected "listed pitchers" and there was a pitching change at any time prior to the start of the game, the bet is no action. It's common for this scenario to not be voided quickly and they would undoubtedly have voided it either way had you won or lost.

          I don't mind them canceling but do it earlier Don't contact me 1hr. after the game starts and tell me it's been a no bet, I had no idea who was pitching I just walked in turned on the TV and seen nothing on and decided to make a bet with the mets.

          Sportsbook should have contacted me within 15min. after the start of the game so maybe I could play another or as they said they have another line for the mets game


          They sent me a email last week on this about saying bets will be canceled if a late change in pitchers I Do understand But they should say something quicker Game started 7:10 they tell me 7:59 I have the transcript from talking to them about it

          Thanks !

            Not to be an ass or anything but, its not their job to contact you when a bet is "no action"
            when placing wagers you should be well aware of what boxes you are selecting/checking and aware of what scenarios could happen...

            baseball bets are not the same as football or basketball there are alot of factors that come into each individual wager to make it a valid play...


            but i still stand by my previous comment (and u can see ur wagers in your wager history) if it was an action play (meaning listed pitchers of game are not printed on the ticket with wager) than i would be mad too and i would change books, but i had a wager on same game that night and my bet stayed live, because i chose not to select listed pitchers...

              I never new there was that option, I just checked a box to confirm a bet, I never had that problem before, I really hate there website everything is so tightly squeezed in like there afraid you might see to much LOL I like going to intertops and checking the lines there because it's such a readable page and everything is straight up and clear

              anyway I appreciate the understanding now of these boxes

              Thanks!

                Sportsbook only allows plays on the listed pitchers. Any pitching change voids the bet. It's in the rules and is standard practice at a lot of places. Occasionally like the Mets situtation with Chris Young there is no notice and there isn't an ability to place a bet since no one knew there would be a pitching change. Larussa did something similar earlier this year when he started a RP because of a potential rain delay and it no actioned all bets on that game.
