Today during Halftime of the Buffalo vs Tampa Bay Football game. I placed a bet on the side during halftime, while placing the bet I accidently selected the wrong team, that was my mistake, I am not trying to blame Sportbet for that.
Well I selected Buffalo, instead of Tampa. I noticed the mistake in seconds, and called in immeadiately. This all by the way taking place before the teams come back from Halftime. While I'm calling, I am also checking the line to see if it has changed,which it hasnt. When I talk to the Operator, I explain my mistake telling her it was my fault. I ask if I can switch over to Tampa, The line hasnt changed, the second half hasnt started, I just made a mistake.
I was told I would not be aloud to change, well I'm sure that is your rule on that and I Understand. You are protecting yourself against fraud, you cant let people just change there bet after they have been made, although I wasnt trying to gain an advantage on your book.
Anyway that Money is gone so I will just live with it, but I have a question.
I made a mistake, the same as if you posted a bad line, I just selected the wrong team, its bascially the same as if you accidently made Baltimore +15.5. So if someone places a bet on a line that is off, I guess the bet stands. Since in principle they are both mistakes. If not why are they different?
I would just feel better understanding where you are coming from.
P.S. I've have never made that mistake before, over 2 years of placing halftime bets on the internet. I just wanted it understood that I dont make a practice of trying to switch my bets after making them.
