Bookmaker Errors

Wed May 11, 2016 3:55 pm

Just trying to learn the ropes and avoid what seems to be the biggest risk - having a wager cancelled.

When do errors usually get cancelled? Before the match starts? During the match? After the match?

If they wait until after, then they can decide whether they benefitted from their mistake or not. That would not be cool. We would always lose and never get a lucky one-sided win if they did that.

Cloudbet corrected Malaga -0.5 from 2.09 to 1.78 in an instant. I saw it change. Would that be a mistake? A change of .31?

Thanks!

They usually can change anytime, according to their terms and conditions. Serious books will do it as soon as they find the error (which can be before, during or after the game). Others will do it later.

A correction from 2.09 to 1.78 is clearly a mistake (if average odds on other books was around 1.78). It seems a reversed side error.

I think nothing in this world happens without a reason, this is very rarely. usually bookmakers do not makes mistakes, they knows very good what to do
