I've been playing on a few offshore books such as Bookmaker, BetUS, and MB over the last several months. I understand Sportsbooks have the option
to void obvious errors (such as +100 line mistakenly posted as +1000), but do all of these books aggressively void bets so much? I've had numerous bets cancelled on me with zero notification or explanation, and most of these were just bad lines compared to other sportsbooks such as a -130 vs a -170 elsewhere, and in no way obvious typo type errors. They'll take the line down, void my bet, then repost it at a different number. It feels like a scummy business practice when all wagers from the customers are finals, but books have wide latitude to cancel bets after the line moves.
When I contact customer service I get the run around of excuses, transmission error comments, or pointed to the terms & conditions. I never get a full explanation. I used to mainly play on Draftkings and rarely if ever encountered this type of issue. I'm just wondering if this is normal and how some of the more experienced bettors handle this. Unfortunately I'm not in a state with many options, otherwise I'd probably just stick to domestic sportsbooks.
