I have made a live bet on the clippers game tonight for the fourth quarter of the game, this is a wager for "Which event will occur next?" and I put money on "Clippers Block". Apparently I thought I had won because Hedo (Clippers) is credited a block as the very first event to occur in that quarter. However I didn't get my money and below was the reply from Bovada. Did I misunderstood about the bet rule? Which should be read as "Clippers to be blocked"?



==============================================
Thanks for contacting Bovada Customer Service.

We've correctly settled your wager with Reference Number 2-------9 as 'Loss'. Los Angeles Clippers failed to block Cory Jefferson of Brooklyn Nets from scoring a layup shot.

Below are your wager details:

SETTLED LIVE BETTING (Loss) (Placed by Web)
Which event will occur next? (Winner was "Nets Block")
Brooklyn Nets at Los Angeles Clippers
"Clippers Block" +330, Thu@10:35p
4th Quarter 12:00

I'm not sure what you bet to know if it is a winner or not (what were all options for betting?).. but either..

1) clippers to be blocked is what that short hand wording on ticket copy/paste means. -or-
2) something is wrong with their grading because if the bet was placed at start of 4th quarter, then according the game log, the winner couldn't have been Nets Block, because a Clippers block occurred first.

If you happen to know what all odds and options are maybe someone who bets NBA can help decipher if item #1 was likely the case or not.

Also I'm changing your title because isn't failure to honor (which would be a void) but the issue is more than that (if correct, a wrong grade, which means also lost stake).

Thanks for fixing my confusing title.

The available options and odds are as follow, clippers was the favorite in the game.

Clippers Steal -100
Nets Steal +120
Clippers Block +330
Nets Block +450

Hope someone can answer my question. The reply of "Clippers failed to block" seems to me is a misinterpretation by Bovada as the NBA log is putting the event as "Jefferson Layup Shot: Missed Block: Turkoglu (1 BLK)", it should have been "Jefferson Layup Shot: Missed; Turkoglu: Block (1 BLK)"

Seems like you should have won. It seems pretty obvious that Clippers Steal and Clippers Block mean that the Clippers would get credited with a steal or block, not that the nets would steal the ball from them or block them.

That's what I thought. But do Bovada normally review their decision? I'm pretty sure they gave away to a lot of people who had the bet on Nets Block.

I PMed b-dogBecky 2+2 account and tweeted her, and also emailed another contact, asking both to forward this thread to someone who can look into this.

Keep us posted please in case it gets fixed in the meantime.

Thanks for the help PropPlayer. I was trying to bet their live game today on a similar line just to see what results I'll get. But seems like they took out that prop bet out of all the NBA games.

edit: someone at Bovada is looking in to this.

This has been regraded a win.

Props to you for that Prop.

Thank you for reaching out- as an FYI, I'm not involved with Bovada but I'm always happy to pass on comments/concerns to my contacts over there.

Looks like this issue is now resolved? Please do let me know if its not.
