does this betting line make sense? Is it a mistake?

I’m talking about the line on the Patriots at the bottom of the picture.

If the pic is to blurry, here’s exactly what is says:

Will NE Patriots win the AFC championship?

YES +280. NO +360
 
Yeah clear mistake, looks like the No should be -360.

Don't expect to get paid at +360 if you bet that BTW.

Lol, I did bet it...and they sure as heck refunded the bet about 12 hours later...oh well...
 
That's probably not a bad outcome for you, and it's also an illustration of why it's generally best to not bet obvious error lines like that.

Best case you get your bet refunded - there's no upside for you, and your money has been tied up for some period of time. Worst case they freeroll you - they keep your money until after the market has been settled, grade it as a loser if the Pats somehow win, and just refund you if they don't citing the obvious error in the line.
 
You should push for it to be upheld. Let's say it was caught and they made a huge amount of money by people betting the error. You think they would refund you after the fact? I forget exactly what it was but someone got paid out over 80k a month or so ago on some error like that. Initially they canceled it, but he pushed it and they bent to it.
