Across the industry will have a variety of different odds providers, and some even will price it in-house. All bookmakers were offering prices in the vicinity of the 2.23 I took last night, and the 1.84 I took this afternoon. Oddsportal testifies to that. So what ... every single odds provider got the odds the wrong way round, did they? And they were still wrong 12 hours after the first bet. Clearly not.
Anyway, that is the reason they gave.
I'm not saying in this particular case the provider it at fault, just that is sounds really sketchy that a casino is having "odds problems" (unless it's a temporary malfunction inside the connection from casino software to provider - which I can understand), when presumably all the other sportsbooks handled the match properly - at least that's what I assume the rest of them did, that is to say.
