Stoiximan false odds disaster

Hello! I would like to share what happened yesterday night around 3am.
I had forgoten alert service open and an very good LIVE arb show up (around 25% and was increasing!).

So i took the decision to take action (normally i don't bet so late).
My stake was all in (Stoiximan 260 - Bet365 80), and normally i would win 50 when the 1st Half passed (from this arb).
When the Half time passed just the stake returned to Stoiximan and not the winnings.
I contacted them and told me that it happened because they had false statistics about this match. So i lost 80 .
I could cash out before Half time end .

I thought about possible mistakes i did:
1) Bet unusual time (3AM)
2) Go ALL-IN (i did that because that time i thought "i have to benefit from this rare opportunity)
3) Notice that the odds were frozen (the arb was going higher till the end of the half time "reached 70%") (but i already placed the bet when i noticed those frozen odds)

I would appreciate any advice, to minimize the likehood of the same disaster

Best regards

Hello this is a normal situation in arbing. Usually in this cases when bookie error is to big you leave the bet open and do not cover. Than you can rejudge in a later stage of game.
