yes, at least the Bookmaker says that the odds were incorrect by mistake, then their Terms & Conditions says that odds can be changed, but in normal conditions odds lock in at the price you took.

once you place your bet your odds don’t change — even with a major injury or something along those lines your odds still stay at what you placed them at

When a bookie offers you odds, and you accept those odds by buying a ticket, those are the odds you’ll get paid.

Minor correction on some previous answers:

That’s also true in horse racing against a bookie (as often played in the U.K.) It’s *not* true in parimutuel betting, as seen in horseracing in the U.S. and elsewhere. That’s because parimutuel racing doesn’t employee bookies. It’s gamblers betting amongst themselves, with a house that takes a cut. In that case, the reported "odds" at a given time are an estimate based on the current proportion of bets placed on the various racers.

Yes, you lock in your sports betting. Not the case with horse racing.

the only time odds change after you make your bet is horse and dog racing.

While the odds will change throughout the season, YOUR odds are locked in at the time you place the bet.
