BAUS and others,
 
I just had the pleasure to talk to Nigel again.
 
He is reinstating your bet (and winnings) for the original amount you wagered at -275.
 
In view of the foregoing WWTS rating will be reinstated at the number prior to the latest downgrade.
 
It has been a pleasure assisting you.

Very impressive. Props to Nigel for reinstating the bet, and also to TOW for his efforts.

I had posted earlier that I was considering wwts as an out this winter.....now I feel confident enough to deposit there.

Good job boys

That's the right move...  The actual cost of this bet is no more than a few hundred bucks.  If a mistake like this is made, even if you consider it a human one and feel it is a bad line, its by far better to buy off the bet and lay the extra juice.  I can understand the scenario...   Its a new season.  This weeks results are certainly under serious scrutiny, etc...   but always think of the bigger picture.  If you think its a 75% chance winner, go lay the -300 at Cris.  You would only be wrong 25% of the time thus the difference ($XXX) times 25% = XXX.  This is how the bookmaker has to see it.  This happens even to the best (or at least those who do not have automation).

I just always thought the rule of thumb was that if the software accepts the bet, then the bet stands, UNLESS the line is a huge mistake.

I don't agree in the reversion of the downgrade. They should still be downgraded for cancelling the bet. People who don't read the forums might have been cheated too. We never know.
