But he's not entitled to cancel it because the line was fine. If this wins I'd asked to be paid. Technically he has to pay up.
I hear exactly what you're saying, and I understand in Europe it's legal and things are regulated, etc. It's still the wild west here, and bookmakers, whether they're in Central America or local, can pretty much do what they want.
So if you kind of retrace the steps of what took place...
-The guy took a shot at an bad line
-The guy tried to scalp it out with a good line
-Both bets were canceled before either went off the board
So if the good number wins, and Black Baby calls up the man to ask that he be paid, the response is probably going to go something like this...
"Ok, so you tried to take a shot at me, I was nice enough to cancel both bets instead of canceling one and leaving you with $500 on something you didn't want, and now you've waited to make sure the good bet won to call me and tell me you want to be paid? F*ck off"
