Question

Yesterday I had a 4 team parlay in which 3 of 4 teams covered. The one team that did not cover was West Virginia. I capped the game believing that WV was playing at home. Every site I used to cap the game, including Covers, had them listed as the home team. Even when I placed the bet they were listed as the home team. Well into the game I went online to check the score and noticed that they were playing AT Marshall. I have two questions for my fellow cappers. 1. Did this happen to anyone else? 2. What, if anything, will the "books" do to rectify this?

I understand that the Universities of Marshall and WV are in the same city, but is it right for the books to mislead us like that?

was it on a neutral court?  covers says &#x27;marshall VS west virginia&#x27;, not &#x27;AT&#x27; WV....

YoungProfit27 · Answer

there was one game last night on neutral court can&#x27;t remember exactly which one

Barrelman · Answer

Larry, the game was played @ Marshall...  I saw the highlights on ESPN

woopdurritis · Answer

This game was played at the CHARLESTON CIVIC CENTER IN WEST VIRGINIA

NOT AT MARSHALL

I would be annoyed to if a book had posted @ and it was at the wrong place, but if you are betting on games and don't even know where the team is playing that is not a good thing... maybe take a little more time next time?

I&#x27;m just saying what the covers scoreboard says.  the home team should be listed second, and the only time that doesn&#x27;t apply is if the game is on a neutral court.&#xD;&#xA;if they actually played at marshall, and listed marshall as the second team (such as they did on covers)... thats bs.

Larry_Legend · Answer

* listed WV as the 2nd team...&#xD;&#xA;looks like woopdu has this one covered.

Here is a photo of Da'Sean Butler (of West Virginia) pointing to the WVU fans in the crowd in the final seconds of the ball game

This game has always been played on a neutral floor from what I remember. Check espn.com if you aren&#x27;t sure whose the home team. I&#x27;m with the guy above saying if u don&#x27;t even know when the game is being played you got a problem.
