Baggers 10 Nov 18:55
Definition of who is eligible

Voted for by the public live during the TV show, this prestigious award will be given to the sportsman or woman whose actions have most captured the public's imagination in 2008. Non-playing coaches or management are not eligible.

Why is Sir Alex Ferguson in the list?

All bets void, couldn't win?


Thanks to this post and the original post of GeorgeBrush I phoned Betfair today and after a few phone calls they have refunded my £74 that I bet on Sir Alex Ferguson. If I want to know something I turn to the forums first!! Thanks again, especially Baggers as I would not have known he was not eligible and as Baggers said a bet has to be able to win.

I have posted this on specials forum as well but I thought Baggers deserved a wider audience. And it goes to show that Betfair so sometimes listen - I think it is the first refund I have got off them!

No problem Annie, spend it wisely ;)

Do I win some sort of people's champion award?

I'm off to the middle east to sort out the Israeli/Palestinian problem now I've sorted the above

Shame the Chit Chat end of year awards were cancelled due to total lack of interest.

Surely you knew that Sir A.F. is a non-playing manager?

This really goes to demonstrate that women shouldn't really be allowed on here for the sake of their wealth.

Good work Baggers.

Now pass me the phone, "has to be able to win" does not apply to a lot of my recent horse bets, as they seemed to have lost the use of their legs. Might yet not be a turkey pot noodle for christmas dinner after all.

Those words are not actually stated on the market conditions so you can't blame Annie. Betfair were totally at fault for putting up Sir Alex...

Of course I knew he was a manager. I have staked over £1400 on the Premier League winners market. I do know my ronaldo from my robinho! The point was that he was on the market for SPOTY so I, like betting shops and others, assumed he was eligible.

Thanks jimmy. I really appreciate it when men stick up for me against the misogynists on here. As if I thought Ferguson was a player!!!!

I would have laughed at your post but I did not know what a/s/l meant. I had to google it. I laughed then.

On the contrary, men love the fact that I have my own home and money! They also like my long fair hair and blue eyes.
