TLDR I bet 300$ on the bucks at -24.5 when the bovada live score showed me that the score in the game was a 41 point differential. I thought that this was a large difference but it was early in the 3rd quarter and thought that it was worth a bet. Well come to find out bovada was continuously running the live score as 10 points off for the rest of the game and i didn't even realize something was off until the 4th quarter came along and the line was still so off. Here are the screen shots to show what im talking about...
I called and the lady basically said their rule says the scoreboard is not official so im **** out of luck, does this even make sense?

If the lines are bad (wrong) they have the right to void all bets. Happens quite regularly.

Yeah but they told me the wager was settled and that I shouldn't have used their scoreboard to make a bet.

If I recall they have done this before. Be careful with the live betting.

This is the risk you run when using bovada and/or betting live at all. They pull this stuff a lot, esp with live betting it seems.
Theyre a super duper square book and will pay you when its time, but this is sort of the cost of that.
