draftkings alternate spread showed -2.5 but slip accepted -3.5 somehow

so i was looking at nba alt spreads and it clearly said -2.5 for the favorite, and when i hit place bet, the slip that went through locked me in at -3.5 instead. double checked right after, the display still said -2.5, but ticket says different and now i need the team to win by four. i’m always triple checking those numbers because of variance but this time i swear it wasn’t my mistake. not the biggest deal but it’s annoying since i play conservatively with spreads most nights, almost never go past -2.5 or -3

has anyone else had this happen? is this just some bug when lines are moving, or did i miss something with how alt spreads recalculate? not my first time catching a weird thing on these slips but this is a new one for me. any tips for stopping this happening again?

The important thing is what the bet slip showed immediately before you hit confirm. DraftKings says the slip displays the latest available line, so I'd screenshot the receipt and ask support to compare it with the selection history.

That -2.5 to -3.5 jump is exactly why i quit rushing slips, did that once on roulette too... Maybe i fat-fingered ngl
