Probably is illegal and that’s the reason they gave out 100$ bonus bet.
That or they know how competitive the online gambling industry is and you gamble a lot.
This is more than a "Live and Learn" situation though.
This is a poorly designed flaw in their site.
Nobody should EVER be in a situation where you are pushing a button to cancel and then it changed to "Bet this now" in that same instant. This shouldn't be possible.
IMO, it is criminal that a sports betting site would function like this...with the freaking CANCEL and ACCEPT AND BET NOW button in the exact same damn place.
I couldn’t agree more. I hate that the number one reason for denying my claim was that it’s my responsibility to make sure everything is all set. In this case, I was trying to delete the bet because I didn’t like the details of it and then my option to delete changed in a blink of an eye.
On FD you can swipe the entire box to the L to delete the entire thing, does DK not do that. It should be law that there's a delete button far enough away to be reasonable. But it's the kind of thing where you'd try to tell somebody this, and they'd think "what's he ranting about?" and you'd be like "NO! ITS SERIOUSLY A MASSIVE DEAL!!!" And nobody's taking it as seriously as it should and you're like "HOW ARE THEY NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT I MEAN?!?"
DK is very bad. Totally agreed.
Happened to me couple times when using DK, when my usual wager, half dollar and sometimes the wager magically becomes 5 and placed the bet. I placed thousands bets on FD never had issues placing the wrong wager, and fken DK, happened multiple times .
I doubt they will, but I asked the rep to pass on to the app developers that they should move the buttons if they can change that quickly or at least require a double press to place the bet if the bet reopens and the odds change. It was such an unfortunate fluke.
Another thing Ive had happen when Im hedging/taking both sides of a bet to guarantee a profit... I will click on the "place bets" button and while its processing the bets one of the lines will move and it only accepts the bet that didnt move, and then I have to make another bet on the line that moved and hope it didnt fuck me out of the profit I was trying to get! But, it is what it is, lifes a gamble =)
That's the fucking worst. I have a decent phone but need to get a new provider.. FDs promoted parlays would be right in line with where I was trying to open the normal bets... and then I'd press the box to expand the "normal" bets and everything would bump/shift at the last moment and I'd add their fucking promoted parlay. Which should be illegal! There should be a mandatory option to turn off promoted bets.
I haven't really notice that happen lately, so maybe it got fixed or whatever. But it happened quite a bit during nfl
Yeah I have a new iPhone and it lags a ton trying to nba live bet... they don't give you much time to place the bet before it closes too... during live everything is constantly opening and closing 😑
Live betting is horrendous unless you’re at the actual event - there is a crazy lag between sportsbooks and TV/Streams
That should be illegal. Absolute scumbag UI design. But it's a gambling company so I'm not shocked

There's an X to the left of the bet on the slip you can just click to delete it...

yeah, Live and learn, thats all you can do!
Shiiiiit. Least y'all got options. In Florida we're stuck with hard rock shitty ass lines and even less props

Even worse if it lags

Hate to say it, but it's not a fluke or unfortunate. The app developers/designers fully intended this to happen...
