anyone ever catch a sportsbook making a massive odds error

saw some chatter about this but never had it happen to me, at least not on something obvious. like you hear stories of +500 showing up on an overwhelming favorite by mistake, people scrambling to jump on it, but i've always wondered if they just void those or honor em. in blackjack i know casinos pull table errors back fast, but books online? anyone have an actual payout on one or just canceled? think it's worth taking a shot or just another ghost-chase?

if you look at it through a live dealer lens, most sites treat odds errors like misdeals - fast rewind, clean slate, zero discussion. the tiny print always favors the house. for me, chasing those feels more distraction than opportunity, unless you really thrive on adrenaline roulette.

Most books just void those mistakes now, but I did see Betonline pay once, small limits though.

I tried chasing one of those glaring errors back in my early crypto casino days and got the good old void stamp within the hour, not even a courtesy email. Most reputable books seem allergic to paying out on anything that looks like a fat finger, though like you said, BetOnline did let a tiny limit slip through for a friend once. Honestly, unless it’s BetUS (the only one I fully trust), I treat odds mistakes as vapor - fun to spot, but not worth rearranging your bankroll for. Payouts are unicorn-rare. If you do ever snag one that sticks, screenshot everything.
