Betfair Customer loses £164,835 on the 5:05 at Plumpton

poor MONEY TREE

That'll teach me for trying to buy money

there was 800 quid going up on fallers earlier today

pity the lot didnt go west

if placed by accident will he get his money back

lol he won't get anything back

Anyone could claim their losers were 'accidents'

He knew what he was doing, just made the wrong call

tobermy how do u no this?

a bit tongue in cheek,only when betfair messed up that irish race they didnt pay out,blamed a computer error

several threads on the horse forum Bhoys, one forumite got a few quid matched at 1000 too, was only asking for 2.1 

is this a bot or a bookie trying to hoover up 'free money'? Who has the capacity to risk so much for so little gain - even if you think the result is a foregone conclusion?

Imagine the blokes reaction when he is looking at a screen with £165K RED on a horse that is trading odds on seconds later

love these stories - will go over to Racing and get the gory details

someone with fast pictures Pushkin

Sees the jockey is coming off, so it is out of the race and can be safely layed at 1000, thats why the guy with regular pictures is asking for 2.1 as he hasn't seen the incident yet.

Not seen it yet but apparently jockey hung on like a rodeo rider and got back in the saddle

but yes - as u say , 'Imagine the blokes reaction' : that is worth thinking about for a moment

Jockey was chucked out the side door and was hanging onto the horses neck,side ways on!!

Was an amazing recovery

oh is that what happened? o thats brilliant.  yhese 'fast-pic' and track players are basically thieves because they've got something us who are at home.

fair play to him for having 165k in his account

pretty sick... imagine being that guy.  I get annoyed when some donk calls my AA shove with A7 off n hits a straight, dunno what i'd do if that happened to me

how's it cheating? you could make the effort n go to the races...

how have you not been cheated if you have backed a horse that has already fallen?

fair play to him for having 165k in his account

He didn't get where he is today by playing fair.

some mug wanted 2.1 with the jockey half off

New subscriber to the 1.01McHunt Pro tipping service?

Someone got a real wedge of it, 202K put back in @1.29.

body in the river NAP.

if he happens to be reading this. "think of all those betfair points".

WoW Great recovery ...

did this 1000 lay/back happen near start/middle of race ?

did it continue in running at say evens for a while ?

just saying that backer was brave hanging on late for 1.29 lay

cheers Johnny, brilliant recovery

Happened last year, didn't it? BF voided.

Someone's feeling a bit sick.

they don't void those no

The big void was the guy who put up a  £21,000,000 lay .That was as he only had a few hundred in his account and it was system screw up

Wow! Unbelievable tekkers by the jockey. Tough luck to the punter but like everyones already said why the hell would you punt £165k only to win £165...crazy. Fair play to him tho got to have some serious nuts to even contemplate that bet! Here I am brickin' it over a £5 flutter on Jason Dufner in the golf, lol!

if you have £165k why in gods name would you lay for £165! madness, more money then sense.

why oh why oh why would you do that for £165!!!!

Ah cheers tobermory.

I Know it might be a Longshot but thought I'd ask anyway

Anyone Know who this Unfortunate Punter is LoL...

Keep an eye on the news for a suicide

i was only trying to win a few bob for a night out, guess i'll have to stay in now

greed pure and simple tried to get every bet all the way upto the 1000/1,hoovering money is exactly what he thought he was doing,

think his hoovers broke now

who knows how much he has made doing this over how many years

i was trying to back a snoopy loopy @ 7.8 for €8 a couple of years ago IR. got matched at 130.0 and it won, looked for 3.6 on strong suit for €25 and it was matched @ 26.0.  these fast pic in running guys get it right more often than wrong, but when it goes wrong, your balls have been replaced with a purple sack of agony.

The guy that laid the 165 at 1000 does it every race where there is a faller.He has been scooping up to £500+ every time a horse falls.That is why he had the £165k in his bank to start with.Will probably still be in front long term.

Am I being a bit soft but how do we know it is one person ?

bito's had this coming, imo

Sort of error that rarely happens, long odds that 2 people simultaneously made the same blunder

No doubt there were many about to submit the bet , but they were waiting to see the jockey hit the floor

I suppose one of the frustrations of this sort of betting is some other guy with fast pics beating you to the free money, this bloke wanted to make sure he was in first

he he
one hell of a recovery though .
horse was in 3rd when he righted himself

Greedy and lazy gambling. Deserved it IMO and would have known the risks. Funniest thing would be his face as the rider righted himself and the horse was just lobbing along in third on the bit near the home straight. Brown trousers x 1000.

hahaah

Taxi for m Mc

Matt Chapman is a well known fast pic thief. But cant imagine its just one guy, there's loads of them at it.

Let's be honest, they are clearing up £1-4,000 a day so its a bad day at the office but no worse.
