re: College Football Week 4 Bet Thread

Anyone else ever notice any shadiness with their sportsbook(s)? A while back I placed a bet on 5Dimes where I knew the line was set backwards. It wasn't a huge error, like +170 instead of -170. As expected, they caught the error and refunded the bet. But, the catch was that they waited until the game was over (presumably to see the outcome) before refunding it. I didn't make a huge deal out of it, other than making sure that I never deposited more money there.

Fast forward to yesterday, and they had a line up for who Corso would pick on Gameday. It was UT +1450 and Fla -3000 or so. Obviously this couldn't have been right unless Corso picks the dog every week. So I put $10 on UT as a test to see how they would handle it. Well, for whatever reason, Corso did pick Florida. Sure enough, I checked my account and they counted it as a loss. I'm fairly confident that had Corso picked UT, they would have cancelled the bet.

I'm fully aware that we basically have no rights when dealing with offshore books. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed borderline shady practices.
