    Hi just a query, i was browsing tonights odds for the N.B.A and one website has the handicap odds wrong, instead of of the favourite teams - 8 points they have them as + 8 points.

    No, somone posted something similar a while back here complaining that he did the bet knowing the odds were wrong and they just gave him the bet for -8 in the end.

    That's a bit crap, they should pay your stake back at least if you place the bet at the wrong odds.

    You'll probably find if you look hard enough in the small print something about errors in prices will not necessarily result in payment at the incorrect odds or whatever legal terms they use.

    Usually you will be given the option to void the bet before the event if you want. If not they will settle the bet at whatever the correct odds for +8 points would be, they don't change the handicap.

    You will never get away with it, they always spot the mistake!

    Same thing happened to me.

    I backed a golfer at 800/1 even though I new it was meant to be 80/1. I put on €1 thinking it was a win win bet. This was Paddypower online.


    Unfortunately they emailed me about ten minutes later stating some terms and conditions gave me 2 options.

    1) Take bet at correct odds 80/1

    2) Have the €1 refunded to your account

    1. Kick up a fuss and you'll usually get your stake back.

    2. If it doesn't amount to a massive loss on their part, sometimes you'll get away with it.

    3. They often claim that some prices were 'obvious errors' when in reality, it was just ****e pricing by their compiler. That 1 really annoys me.

    The odd time i have experienced this (maybe twice), a quick threat of IBAS does the trick.

    I bet on the Blackhawks +1.5 in the NHL the other night on PP. They were 1-0 up at that stage and were the pre game favorites even though they lost by 1 in the end. I got paid out on it. I was surprised they paid out and didn't refund my money. That seems to be the norm.
