I work in h/q for one of the big four on a part-time basis and i was told of a particular sad tale by one of the traders today.Apparently last night a "client" placed a bet on line for the daily Irish lottery on a 5 number 5 fold ..anyway he copped the lot £250.000.He went to bed last night a very very happy man/.....................until he checked his account this morning.The £250.000 THAT WAS in his account was now zero.The incorrect numbers had been entered on the company's web site and the money had been taken back...if your having a bad day just imagine how that poor person must feel on this sunny saturday

I don't know who you work for Salasabi, but my recent Lads account has been closed showing a loss of £2150 after 28 days. What's going on?

Kenny mann, beating the starting price consistently is the ultimate taboo as you well know. The fact that account was a losing one is totally irrelevant as far as trading decisions goes.

I know..sounds unbelievable and i said the same thing but i can assure you it occurred and there is awful lot of red faces at my organisation.Would not be surprised if you read about it in the daily's.

So twizzle, if he did withdraw back onto his card straight away it would still be subject to "approval" surely so it wouldn't make any difference, he would never have got the shekels anyway. I took out from one firm last Saturday and it was 3 days before it was approved and I'm still waiting for it. Withdrawing available funds and actually getting it is not the same thing.

The guy should go to a lawyer and sue them for the psychological problems caused by this cockup. To tell somebody they won 250,000 for 2 quid and then take it back and say it was a mistake is an absolute disgrace. The guy must be gutted ans seeking counselling as we speak. A scabby 20 free bet on the casino. You`re having a laugh.
